Seems for the best. If neither writer in that match ends up submitting, we'll work something out to make things move forward. We'd have 5 so we could have one 1 v 1 and 1 v 1 v 1. Or we could vote on the 'Best Loser' which is what we did in the AWR Cup where we had a defaulted match. Which would give us three round two matches and a proper 1 v 1 v 1 final. We would just need to think of a way to vote for the best loser. Or we could make it more interesting. Have all five writers do a story with a 500 word limit (or some other task in which they all compete). The top four continue on. The bottom one gets knocked out. Proceed from there as usual. |

That could work. Everyone would just have to stay quiet, though, so we don't lose the anonymous nature of the game. |

Or did you still need more? I had an idea or two. More beginnings would be appreciated. Well. Looks like we're only going to need about 4 more. Still. I'll submit one or two in the morning. It'll give you some wiggle room in choosing. |

I feel like we need to make a big post about that (or even a mass PM), right before the judgments are posted. Whether you're still in or you've been knocked out -- try not to make it obvious. That's the fun of the thing. |

Don't forget you have my 4 beginnings! ;D I may make some more but I might be busy making things and reviewing.

Even with all the complaining, there'd some really nice stories in this round.

I can't see what was terribly wrong with those beginnings. The only one I might have struggled with was Arthur. Still, I've only glanced at the lot.

I don't see why we can't make an exception, really. You're not trying to cheat or anything. It's Dragon's call. But in the future, there's a schedule thread, y'know? It's there. ALL OF YOU. It's there. |

It's there. Actually I realized it was a huge derp moment on my part because yesterday I saw that Dragon posted a "24 hours left" message and didn't even look to see what time he had actually posted it on. "Oh hey it's noon when I read it, guess that's 24 hours from now!" *headdesk* |

The latest round may be a bit obvious as to who it is.  Can anyone guess what the rounds are named after? |
