Most esteemed judges are the following:

Lotesse, Nerdanel, Nurvingiel and Andúril.

*Posters will be judged in Eloquence, Length of Posts, Use of Posting Functions and Choice of Subject*

Welcome and let the game begin!

If you guys wanna play this game, go ahead. If not, then someone probably needs to close this thread. It's been explained three times what the requirements are, and nobody seems keen on trying. I'm not gonna write you an example, rohirrim; the thing is just to make a little post about whatever you feel like, and one (hopefully, all) of us 4 judges will post our rating of it. Ah, well.

If you want an example of a posting of mine, rohirrim, just take your pick of the 2,500 some-odd crazy postings I've already made at this point. Grey Wolf, I dont think your game is attracting any serious takers! It was a nice idea while it lasted, though.

lets talk about rejection and fear.
The reason this thread is not garnering players is they are afraid of a bad judgement by our esteemed judges.

They may suffer from irrational fears, if that is your condition you shoud see the dear hector thread. Some may simply not have the time (like myself, who is neglecting homework

) and others maybe have higher ambitions than to play little writing games. At any rate I hope this gives you judges a purpose in life and helps you make the world a better place.
the end

Hmm. I rate this post a 4 1/2.

If you have higher ambitions than playing little writing games, then why on earth do you play writing games elsewhere all over the moot, my dear?

lol! But don't let us keep you from your homework...

rohirrim TR · 10-02-2005, 05:38 PM

4 1/2 out of what? what is the scale here?... oh... come on, 4 1/2 out 1000

no wonder no one wants to play

Lotesse · 10-02-2005, 05:41 PM

O.K., well, if you cannot read the rules and criteria, and/or remember them, then I guess you are disqualified and will have to try again. Or not. Don't you have homework 2 do??

rohirrim TR · 10-02-2005, 05:55 PM

geez, i was kidding,

i guess i don't remember your scoring scale

, any way at least i tried, BTW i am doing homework, google is a big help with research papers

I have observed, particularly in the RPG forums, that bad spelling and grammar are omnipresent in the threads. Overall, this leads to a general lack of readability, and an unfavorable impression of the poster. For instance, consider the following post:

1-once upon a time ther usd to be a land far far away...

2-Once upon a time, there was a land far, far, away...

Treat your posts well, and they will treat you well.

(Score, please

)

In the view of some and the judgement of others, this thread is inane.

An admin, a few mods and a judge all agree.

If you can't get this going we'll close it permanently for the greater good.

I think it best to close this. If you want to do this in the "Teacup" thread, that's fine. This seems more likely to turn into a chit chat thread. Chit chat threads are not permitted except in the "Teacup Cafe."

Grey_Wolf, if you wish to discuss this, feel free to PM me.

Closing.
