BZ's Summer Slam Contest!
Theme: Heroes, Vigilantes, & Spies - Create fun and mayhem through larger-than-life scenarios. Format: CYOA Deadline: August 31st at 2400 hrs | September 16th 0000 hrs Eastern Standard Time
Two Week Contest Extension
Due to the disruption being caused by Hurricane Harvey, the submission deadline will be pushed to September 16th. Focus: The primary focus of the plot and or setting should involve playing a hero, super-hero, vigilante, or spy. The protagonist must be on the side of good, justice, karma (or whatever), protecting his or her neighborhood, city, country, etc. from the bad guys/forces of evil. An anti-hero may be used and the lines between good and evil blurred here and there as dramatically needed - but Submissions where the protagonist is an outright villain or acts in a generally unheroic manner throughout will be disqualified (though that might make an interesting contest at a later date). Entry Requirements & Prizes: You must formally declare intent to enter the contest in this thread, as there is a point entry fee. Hopefully, this will motivate people to finish and reward those who honor their commitments People can choose to enter the contest for 25, 50, 75, 100, or 125 points. Upon entering, those points will be deducted from your total. Upon submitting a contest story which meets minimum contest standards, you will get either 30, 60, 90, 120, or 150 points back (depending on how much they entered for). 1st Place Winner will get an additionally 100 points for winning the contest, BZ's Glorious Mustache Trophy!, a Commendation, and a Featured Story if it's good enough to merit featuring. 2nd Place Winner will get an additionally 50 points and a possible Commendation, if it's good enough to merit one. 3rd Place Winner will get an additionally 25 points and a possible Commendation, if it's good enough to merit one. If you do not submit a contest story which meets minimum contest standards by the deadline, you will not receive any rewards or points back. To eliminate any possible confusion, the first number is your entry fee, and the second would be your reward. And this is just for submitting an acceptable entry. The Winners will receive additional points on top of their initial reward. 25 -> 30 50 -> 60 75 -> 90 100 -> 120 125 -> 150 Recap: Stories will not be valid entries unless the site member formally announces his or her intent to enter the contest in this thread with the amount of points he or she wishes to stake.
* See EndMaster for rules regarding your service to him if your entry sends you into negative points.
* Stories that cannot meet minimum site standards count the same as a non entry and get SHAME.
* One entry fee/bet per site member. Multiple Submissions are allowed, but mind the quality. No alternate accounts.
Goddammit, I don't do good guys. I do military dictators, supervillains, vampire thralls, Orc warlords and at best people struggling to survive.
Yeah, but they're everyone else's villains. I doubt "And he massacred the Elven babies, which Orcs found heroic" will be let slide.
Yeah, but by that standard BZ's contest includes literally everything, seeing as every protagonist could be seen as heroic to some twisted fuck.
Oh boohoo, are you already backing out of your claim you were going to win this contest?
Hardly surprising that he was going choke and make excuses.
What was it, out of curiousity?
Children's Story.
So basically no sex, no swearing, no graphic violence allowed in the story.
Nothing would have stopped you from writing a villain protagonist though if you could somehow figure out a way to do it without any of the above.
I would've been very fond of this type as well. Like Mizal, I think this would be a good future prompt.
"Good" does seem to be a very narrow category, admittedly.
AHHHHH SO EXCITED!! Put me down for 125, thank you!
Not my usual story category, but put me down for 125 points!
I'll enter for 125 points.
Well that was easy.
Just added a new superhero tag. Enjoy.
thanks daddy
Why not just 'hero' without the 'super'?
That way you don't exclude stories where the hero doesn't have any powers... like mine for instance. And the OP of the contest lists 'spies, vigilantes, and heroes' none of which are inherently 'super'.
I guess it is an incredibly small matter, but it is the only hero-related tag, and it would be nice if it were broadened instead of seeming to pertain to only one type of story...
If I bet a small amount now, can I up my bet later? Like in a few weeks?
*thinks* Okie. ^-^
Huh?
Oh, I really haven't been paying too much attention to the forums lately.
125 points.
:D Yay!
Remember, just do your best princess and don't make me SHAME you.
There's a good chance I'll end up disappointing you, buuuuut I will try to avoid shame.
Oh damn, Thara's gonna hopefully write a storygame. Now i'm even more excited about this contest.
I'll join at 125 points.

Kiritsyu (Negative) - 125 Backpeddling Bitches So Far: Steve
Aaaand the grave is dug.
Yeah I'll go for this. Put me down for 125 points please.
I've been toying around with various superhero ideas of my own for a year or two. I'm glad this gives me the drive to start writing one. :)
I'll dish out 125 points. Thanks BZ for hosting this.
Put me all in, baby. Also ban this account if I don't submit something.
Yeah, sure. I'll go in for 125.
This sounds very interesting. How far can we take "blurring the lines between good and evil"?
For instance, if the protagonist needs to slaughter hoards of innocent children for the sake of saving the planet and enjoys the process of doing so (yet he is still lauded by the people for his "heroic" efforts), would this be acceptable?
I thought for a moment this was Insanebutvain's account and was going to remind her she lost her chance to be edgy during the Edgelord contest.
Doing the wrong thing for the right reason is probably acceptable, but only to certain extents I imagine.
Bentham... is that you!?
This sounds a bit like the plot of Torchwood's Children of Earth. Or at least the first half of that sentence.
Like the Black Mirror episode where the PM fucks the pig and his ratings go up as a result
Ah, I see. So the protagonist needs to be an intrinsically good person.
Well. Looks like I'm going to have to ponder over this whole theme a bit more.
Max Rockatansky is still a hero even though he gave that bitch child a mouthful of fist in Thunderdome
I'm going to guess that Berka will clarify, but I'm fairly certain he doesn't want to see a story where the "hero" is killing innocents for the greater good or whatever.
I mean at best you can have "the goddamn Batman" type anti-hero that puts his adolescent sidekick through training hell, punches out a woman because he's pissed at her for being a bleeding heart that allowed a violent criminal to escape, or doesn't save a villain from falling to his death after he's caused a bunch of mayhem, but you can't have him straight up murdering regular citizens that he's supposed to be defending.
Yes, even if all those ALL those babies are cloned little Hitlers. He'll just try to make sure they all get sent to loving multi-racial families instead.
I understand that the protagonist has to be basically good, but does the antagonist have to be completely evil? Could the antagonist have good intentions but disagree with the hero on how far they should go to achieve their goals?
Hazelmyre's not getting done anytime soon anyway. Might as well join a contest for the hell of it.
I'll throw in 75 points because I'm a pussy.
Man, what "summers"? I ran out of those a while ago.
Fuck it, add another 50, I don't even duel anymore so it shouldn't matter how many points I have.
Dear @EndMaster and other mods,
Please take note of the above additional contest bet.
Sincerely,
Chris <3
I'm probably gonna regret this. Put me down for 125 points. That throws me into the negative, so EndMaster if there are any rules I should know about...
Ah, I knew I was missing some small detail. Well, like mizal said, it is too late. I guess I'll just have to win.
EDIT: Besides, if I'm truly worried about going into the negative, I'll go and rate a bunch of story games so a potential loss won't take me past zero.
I mean I guess I'll bet 125.
I would like to (it looks like the type of story I'd enjoy writing), but I'm busy with a lot of other things at the moment and I don't believe I'd be able to finish anywhere close to the due date. So, no for me because I lack time. Thanks for tagging, though!
I am confused. Is this because I never post anything, and all I do is lurk in the forums and write messages?
I really don't mind those old posts, nor do I mind posting again. I am just an extremely shy teenager who lacks the initiative to make social interactions outside of a few people.
I still do like that series, but that is not all that I am or all that I like to read. There is a lot more to me than a set of books that I choose to spend my rare freetime reading.(as in haven't read for months, let alone that series.) I think that's one thing this site tends to forget.
I do like that I am being included in the forums and that I am being asked to write for a contest. However, I am extremely critical of myself and I am out of practice in my writing. I don't feel that I could produce quality content for this site, as my writing weaknesses align with what should be the core of this challenge.
i thoroughly enjoyed this comment. i rate this comment a strong nine.
Put me down for a bet 125 please.
This sounds like a fun contest. I might enter, but I don't really have that many points yet. (I literally joined two days ago) would it be possible to bet more points than I have or change my bet once I get more points?
In previous contests, you could bet more points than you had, but then you'd have to win the contest to get any back. I'd say bet the bare minimum, and bet if you get more points before the contest deadline.
I'm still not sure if I'll enter though. I'm still learning how to write a storygame. I'll think about it for a few days before I make a decision.
This is insightful. Looks like I won't have to go point hunting after all.
Yeah, this contest isn’t as penalizing as previous contest. You still get SHAMED if you fail to submit anything of course.
Certainly. If I don't then I'll definitely deserve the shame.
I actually genuinely wanted to warn people not to overly eagerly jump into the negative point pit. Then again, I don't solely thrive on the misfortune of younger members.
If it makes you feel any better, Negative is probably still going to be in the hole unless he wins.
I'm in for 75 points. Going to get started on it immediately.
Hi! I will be participating in the contest, i will most likely be the worst ,but i would rather try, its not like i have anything better to do
75->90
Sign me up for 125 please.
Hmmm. I'll go for 75. That way if I can't even get a story out I won't be in too much debt.
I formally announce myself to enter the contest for 125 points.
I'll enter in for 25 points!
"911, yeah I'd like to report an emergency."
"What can I help you with?"
"Yeah, I'd like to report an absolute pussy."
"Is he dangerous?"
"Not at all. He's kinda just lurking there. His name is XNeoBurritoX."
Well I mean, he only has 25 points. Probably smart of him if anything not to dig his own grave like other people here.
That's equal to postivie zero though.
In everything, a degree of perspective.
I'd actually find it really funny if one of them ends up winning.
Would I be considered one of those nobodies?
Because only people who frequent this particular website can be reasonably expected to write anything of merit?
" I don't think any of us could ever live that down. "
I'm just not sure how one's sense of worth and your supposition of everyone else's sense of worth could be based on whether someone you don't know does exceedingly well or not.
Although, my primary intention was to play back at your joke, because I thought it was funny, and that it would also be funny to interject a bit of wit back at it.
How's your contest entry coming along?
Nah. He posted earlier. I think.
Just updating the list.

Backpeddling Bitches So Far:
Steve
25 points and I'm in
Woah how convenient, I get back from my 1 month vacation to Malaysia and there's a new contest waiting for writers to write and procrastinate? Also one of the last things I officially wrote was a superhero story! Well time to make it CYOA and maybe this time, after relaxing and being in another country, I will actually write something of value.
I bet 125 points; now I hope my odds are lucky.
Now watch 75% (including me) rush at the end. Praying it doesn't happen. New host, new contest, better results.
ericyopy you could just edit or make the super hero story that you already made better so you wouldn't have to do as much work!
Uh, I doubt that's allowed.
It might go a bit against the spirit of the contest, but I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be able to notice if he turned in a pre-written story that he turned into a CYOA. Besides, I guess that'd still take a decent amount of work.
Well it isn't going to be as easy as copy and pasting. (Wouldn't do that anyway because I have pride and that is cheating in my eyes.) I'm basing the CYOA off of the story, using characters already written but I'm completely rewriting and adding plenty other plot points. Plus the short story is something I had to write for school and way too linear to even try to "copy and paste".
So it's not me paraphrasing my story but rewriting and changing it in a way where it's completely different than the original source material. It would be like if I was converting the short story into a movie or a video game, (Best example of my scenario, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty": a movie based off the short story but has COMPLETELY different plot point while still retaining the "daydream" idea.) it would have the same concept but wouldn't be the same story or plot.
So in short, taking a pre-existing character and idea then fleshing it out to make it longer, better (in my eyes) and more enjoyable to read without copying then changing it. That would be me plagiarizing myself! Wait... Is that possible? Whatever, not doing it anyway.
If you don't mind my asking, as you've perked my interest, what is the scale for your story? More clearly how wide reaching are the events detailed?
Hero stories can be very different depending on how much the author is asking us to believe, both in what the characters can do, the rules the character behaves by, and what types of events are possible, the rules the world behaves by.
Are events local, regional, continental, or global? So on.
Mostly local and few regional events. The story isn't much of a "save the entire world" but more so a conflict involving a single or few locations. It isn't much of a typical Marvel or DC comicbook/movie plot where it's "destroy the villain who can blow up the universe by touching it!". It's more personal, a good example being Marvel's Logan movie; which was a story not about saving or affecting the entire world but the personal emotional conflict between Logan and what he has been asked to do and what he thinks is right for himself.
Also I guess a good point to add is the fact my superhero doesn't have superpowers and is more of a batman/iron man type character. Using tools created from resources available in the time period.
Well, you've certainly achieved getting me hyped for your story! Best of luck to you!
(I'm nine days late but idgaf)
Thanks, I don't think there are enough smaller scale hero stories. Not everything needs to be on an epic scale. More personal tellings can be highly impactful. Body counts/lives at stake are not the measure of the impact of a story. I look forward to seeing what you produce.
Someone here told me I could go in at 25, so I wager 25 if that's okay with you. :)
(However, if that does something bad to my standing, then nevermind...)
Well, butter my toast and call me Robert E. Lee! I do believe you are correct! ;D
Never mind.
Sign me up for 125. I actually have time to do one of these now.
Oh, this looks entertaining. I'll have to think about this, as it's been a while.
I might not (most likely wont) make a story (i mean im half way finished with it),because i have a website that im making, im taking care of my grandparents pets (i cant believe there still alive there like 130!),im baby sitting everyday, im on vacation, and the places im at has slow wifi (my vacation is going over the globe) so im basically screwed. i did not know any of this when i entered the contest so the past few day ive been getting a lot of supprises...
At first I thought she said she was taking care of her grandparents and couldn't believe they were still alive since they were 130 years old.
For some reason I found this to be absolutely hilarious lol
yes, 2/3 of that was i lie but not so i could get my points back , (I am going to do a story) but to read what you would say back its very interesting, i all so wanted to read more of the English language. And i do apologize if ive used some of the words wrong. Oh and i know im not going to win, im not even that good at speaking English.
I would like to inform I am trying out.
Minimum I'm very broke XD
Well, i am no longer going to be in the contest or on the site really, i just did all of this to see it. And also you can write whatever you want im not going to see it anyway so you would be wasting your time, but i doubt any of you will care.
Quick everyone, hide! She might come back and see us not caring!
Well, that sucks, we lost such a great contributor.
Also writing something would be a waste of our time because she won't see it? That's some shit logic right there.
What is a back peddling bitch?
It's a bitch who is backpeddling.
That don't make no sense so a back peddling bitch is someone who dropped out?
More like someone who talked a bunch of shit about them being the best writer on the site and how they could easily kick everyone's ass in the contest, only to backpeddle from the contest when they suddenly didn't like the theme. (As usual)
Oh lmao I know I am not the best I could never ever be the best XD
He was referring to Steve.
Pffh, I made it clear if it was a shit theme I'd bounce. This is one step above "Write about faggots in a world of only faggots". Lame, fuck that.
Backpeddling bitch fucker
Lol, I like this one.
Oh, I just saw this. No, that's not back peddling. If I said "I'm going to go surfing tomorrow unless there's no wind", and there's no wind so I don't go surfing, I'm not back peddling.
Considering people have entered contests with two months worth of time to write something and still fail to turn anything in after committing points, I doubt if anyone here is even going to bother doing that much.
M'kay, I have a question. What actions are explicitly bad in the context of this contest? I want to include a scene in my story where my main character smokes a blunt, is that suddenly not okay? I mean, I don't consider it bad, but would it happen to disqualify me from the contest for including something that is illegal?
I'm sure this is a dumb question, though. So, you know, just try not to call me names and such. Just answer the question. THANKS, FAM.
Anti-heroes are allowed, so edgy heroes who smoke blunts and such should also be allowed - seeing that most anti-heroes ooze with edge. Also, vigilantes are technically working outside of the law and its jurisdiction so I wouldn't think petty/tame crimes would cross the line when vigilantes are considered heroes in these guidelines.
Okay, thanks, that makes sense. It's not really an anti-hero as much as a hero that just happens to smoke some weed, my friend.
Weed isn?'t edgy. Is it?
Dunno, it's probably more a hippie thing but it could be edgy.
nvm, just disregard the whole edgy weed smoking pls
Does it make you uncomfortable, good sir?
If so, it's as good as dropped.
I'm trying to imagine how someone could smoke a blunt with EDGE. So yeah, it makes me uncomfortable.
You've got to smoke the blunt with an energy drink and lace it with crack to be EDGE.
Because of the legal status of the plant in 'Merica right now. It's illegal. I mean, it's a contest for good, so most illegal things wouldn't be allowed, ya dig? Including but not limited to torturing toddlers and licking the tears off of their faces (seriously? We have sick fucks here who write that shit? Jesus.).
I know it was kind of a dumb question, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than be disqualified from the contest for containing the main protagonist doing an illicit drug, an illegal thing.
Although, he does go to prison in my storygame, but not because he's aligned with evil.
I think I just disarmed my whole argument with that last line. You know, I should probably delete it. Nahh, fuck it. It's the internet. What do I care?
And you are very correct. Thank you for showing me the light.
Really, you think so? Well I'm so flattered! Thanks!

BANNED AND SHAMED So Far:
Kiritsyu (Negative)
Unfortunately he keeps coming back like forum herpes.
Wait, did Kiritusyu really do something ban-worthy? By putting words into asterisks? And posting a meme? Am I missing something here...?
Mine pretty much sucks, Still working on it though, Hopefully it does good, I already know the storyline because when I was 6 I use to write stories about Superhero's Now I am 13
Looks like I have a peer to compete against. Good to know I'm not the only youngling but hey, give yourself confidence. The worst thing is to downplay yourself especially when now I have another thing to motivate me which happens to be you. Don't disappoint now.
You already have the upper hand against your rival; you have proper grammar skillz.
He's already sent 3 PMs flip flopping about dropping out of the contest.
That sounds like a pretty good yield!
Is it more than usual for a contest? I got the feeling quite a few more people entered than normally might.
Might help if you weren't Negative.
I sort of thought RoyalGhost was the new Negative given the last gang rape you lot pulled on him.
He might as well just make an alt saying "Ban Me." at this point.
Just shame me now in advance. I don't want to look upon the abomination of words that I'm creating any longer.
Truly a dark day, though the SHAMING doesn't begin for anyone until after the contest results are in. So still plenty of time to write SOMETHING and turn it in.
Just do what Mizal does, write some crap down, turn it in for the contest and then take it down immediately afterwards.
But read it anyway!
End if you are a mod I have to exit the Contest, I am working on a book, also with this Superhero contest thing just so much but yeah thanks for having me
Yeah we already know you quit. You still don't get SHAMED until the appointed time though. We don't want to SHAME drop outs one at a time like a bunch of hobos. Much more efficient to SHAME you lot in a group.
Pre-SHAMING is reserved only for those truly hopeless cases like Negative that get themselves banned before the contest is over.
Sorry it's just my dad died, so I don't need to be in this contest but I'm working on art and stuff so yeah
The best protagonist out of all of them.
You know what, sign me up for 25 points.

Yeah, I haven't gotten anything done on my story so you might as well put me on the shame list.
Just look up Robot Paratrooper and you'll know what the thread is about.
EDIT: Damn mods deciding to be crafty, eh? Fine, I don't really care anyway.
Hmm. 17 days with a packed schedule. Think I can do something by then? Possibly. Gotta brainstorm ideas first I guess. For clarification: Could it be something along the lines of a good guy in training faces a set up force of evil for a test? (not committing yet, just entertaining the idea of entering) edit: Actually, I got a pretty good idea now. Sign me up for as many points I'm allowed to. I've been seeing other people go into negative, so I'm assuming it's okay.
Put me down for 50 points, please.
Just wondering, is the deadline for the story to finish at August 31st, or just your entry has to be submitted by August 31st?
Does anyone know how many people have made their bets and backed out already? Scanning through the thread, I've seen an absurd amount of people doing that. I mean. I know with my into thread an all, I advertised myself as a procrastinating non-productive forum bum, but I'm still reasonably confident in my ability to make something halfway decent in 15 days with a semi-packed schedule (Like getting to see my first total eclipse.)
Just look at EndMaster's list. It says who's made their bets and the amounts and what not. From what I've seen, no one is really taken out of the contest even if they declare that they aren't gonna be able to finish. They could always come back the last three days and pull a JJJ. Meaning create a featured story from start to finish in that amount of time.
I'm kind of glad I didn't join; my inactivity from a busy summer would've prevented me from writing anything worthwhile. :/ I eagerly await the next contest though, assuming the coming school year isn't going to keep me from at least actively lurking.
125 points, please.
Ooo, getting risky with only 13 days left? Nice.
I wanted to join from the beginning, but it just took me this long to think of something.
I'm kind of busy, so I'll think about it.
Darn it, I was hoping this contest would've spurred you to a different result. :(
It was inevitable. Keep to the quest.
Mine's going to be shit but I might actually finish.
Nice try Negative, but you gave yourself away again.
Due to the disruption being caused by Hurricane Harvey, the submission deadline will be pushed to September 16th. I will edit this into the OP later tonight.
Well this is certainly nice. Many thanks.
Does this affect all contestants?
Oh this is a relief. Thanks BZ!
I know it's kinda terrible, since this extension is because of the hurricane and all, but I can really use it. Thanks Berka.
Hey stay alive as you can destroy us all with your writing and that even with the hurricane at your neck, you can still write and win. Good to know that you are appreciating that writing is important or that your hobby might as well live on in case anything were to happen; although if anything were to happen, I'm sure some of us would do something in your memory. Emphasis on SOME of us.
As long as you aren't traveling anywhere, you should be perfectly fine. Gotta ration that food and stay safe.
Bonus achievement will be unlocked if you win the contest!
*Whistles innocently in the background*
Probably me.
Glad to see you're still alive. :)
Thank you, BZ.
My prayers are with all of those who are in hurricane Harvey's path. I truly wish all will be safe.
HALLELUJAH! Although the hurriacane is a jerk and is horrible to those who have to suffer through its murderous rampage, thank you for that extension! Now I can push myself further and get even more work done than I thought.
Thank you for allowing me to procrastinate some more! :D
But in all seriousness, I'm happy that I will be able to actually finish my story and not shave off a majority of it. Appreciate the extension.
A thousand Yanks drowned to bring us this extension. It is known.
Everybody else been working on their project for over a month? I'm a terrible writer? I only have three weeks? I'll be competing against people twice my age and three times as good? Ah, fuck it, I'm doing it.
I'm putting down 125 points so I'm pressured to submit. If I don't submit, I would then have -100 points. If I do submit (an acceptable entry, at least) I'll be at 50 points :)
(Question: as long as my protagonist is 'good', is it alright if I make the nature of their powers 'bad'?
Hey no one cares about how old you are as long as you can submit a completed story. But to answer your question, it really doesn't matter what your protagonist can do as long as they stay in the line of good.
Their power could be to raise the dead or drain blood but as long as they aren't using it to commit genocide or torturing innocents for no reasons; then you are fine.
Go crazy and good luck.
"I'll be competing against people twice my age."
You seem to be doing okay for a six year old.
Already got his English and grammar down. :D
Apparently also have my imitation of the male gender down, too.
YES I GET MORE TIME FINALLY
It's already done
Excuse me? I'm four. Geez.
Twelve days left and I only have 10,000 words. ,:D I'll be fine, just have to write like 7,000 words a day for the next six days.
We're On The Home Stretch Folks!
Just 11 days left in the Contest to see who will be left standing and who will be KO'd!
Is your writing Heroic enough to Win? Where will you Stack Up in the following Rank Structure?
I'm going for bootlicker so really setting the bar high over here.
You mean super villain as first place.
Well shit, looks like I'mma be a doorstop if I don't get my ass in gear.
I'm in North Carolina, it's projected to hit right here ;)
Yeah, that'd be me.
It's passing over a few Dutch islands in the Caribbean and, while I don't live there, I can't write properly while thinkinv about those people.
Alright, so as of now my university is closing down due to Irma and I'm making plans to head back home. It's still too early to tell how bad its going to be in the next few days, buuut yes any extension at this point would be very welcome.
Well, shit. As far as I know we haven't run out of gas here yet.
Edit: Aaand its gone.
I understand, and thanks for considering it. I'll keep working till that deadline.
You'll have mine at least. :)
For a user trophy, I thought there would've been more motivation displayed...
I'll need that luck. I'll be cutting it real close, but hopefully I'll get a solid piece out.
Finished mine, so you will have an entry from me.
I will take a day to proof-read the whole thing before submitting it.
SHAMING our pants yet? Boy, do I have a feeling we're getting close. Yep, gonna be SHAME SHAME pants city here real soon.
...I was under the impression that meant midnight on Saturday?
Either way, you two have more faith in many of your fellow contestants submitting something within the time remaining than I do.

Decided not to take a chance and published it sooner instead of cutting it too close. Another semi finished story game added to the roster.
Well, it is better than never! Plus, it gives a sense of suspense!
Oh exciting! I am ready to see the results and many others are as well I believe.
I'm excited to see to the results as well. It's gonna be interesting.
