Woot.

Congrats, End. It really is the best interactive story of all time.

Gah, both of my stories have dropped one rank. You will all rue this day. Lol.

Just wondering, what exactly determines if a story gets featured? Is it ratings or determined by the mods/admins?

all new and good stories do that. they jump to the top because they have the fewest ratings but they are all good. but once more and more people play it things start to equal out. id say it would be nearly impossible to completely overtake Mommy. its cemented upthere i think. as for who makes them featured, 3j said it best. its march who features stories he likes most in each category. they are simply put in alphabetical order though on the front page.

It's not all me - I have my favorites (like "a day in hell") which nobody else seems to like as much as I do - so they don't stay featured.  Generally, I feature the highest rated stories in each category - I read them first to make sure that they didn't get around the ratings though, and it really comes down to my decision on a tie.  That happens rarely. 

I wish that the way they presented on the featured list was by rating though, rather than by letter.  Oh, the other thing I do is allow others to make suggestions for stories to be featured.  Contact me by PM if you feel one should be featured.

Nah I wasn't complaining about the current story ratings, just joking around about it like I was doing over in a thread at IS. I figured it wasn't going to stay up there.

I just found it funny when they said nothing compared to it lengthwise.

Maybe they meant word count? Like there's a story over at IS that has over 1000 rooms, but it doesn't have a lot of writing per room/page.

Just checking the stats, GZ's currently the longest SciFi story on here. I'm guessing these stories are possibly the longer ones than GZ.

Mattias the One Knight (Fantasy)
Mommy (Modern)
Die Zombie 3 (Modern)
May the 28th (Modern)
September the 14th (Modern)
Cryptode (Modern)

Lot of long Modern ones!

DZD 3 -- possibly.  There is an unpublished game longer then all of those and its by Jdog. IT's called the cave: Survival at most.  Over 1000 rooms I THINK.

So is The Tower and Starwars (al be it only in rooms).

Yeah I agree. Although I'm not sure he ever meant to finish it.
