Nooooo, come on man, don't give up! There is no way any of us want you to leave, or ever will want you to! You just gotta keep on trying! We're all behind you for support, and if you need help with writing, we're all glad to help out, ESPECIALLY IF IT MEANS KEEPING YOUR ASS HERE!

I am fully aware every judge uses different scoring. And i honestly don't mind losing...i mean sasuke deserved that win big time ^^

If i spend an average of 6 hours per post during that fight only to reach a far below average grade ( and i dont see it myself), its a clear sign for me to move on and spend time on things i am good at

Don't worry about it...these things happen :p

Did you not have fun writing with me?

WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Lol, seriously though, who cares how you scored? The anticipation of awaiting a response to go up, feverishley checking the boards to see if your story has been updated... That's what this is all about. The excitement of creating stories with one another. I had a blast with Yu, mang, and I didn't score very high myself.

You don't have to have the world's greatest jump shot in order to love and appreciate the game of basketball. So, GTFO of here, Yu, I'm not letting you leave. =P!

I wouldn't let what I wrote keep you from writing. By any means. This was a graded fight. If you enjoy writing then do it. If anything I wrote made you feel bad then I apologize, because I've been there. I'm there all the time. You're a good writer. We all have areas to work on. I thought I was good at description until I met Proto. That was a wake up call that still resides with me today. You both have different styles. I would be sad to see you leave.

Remaining fight judgments should be finished by this evening.

In regards to my grading:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/coliseum

Colosseum is like colour, in that some people use color instead >.>

Just sayin' =P

I also use artifact instead of artefact, because 'murican. xD

[Thaal Sinestro]

I ran into that with a few spellings on a few of my grading things too. SILLY SPELLING

KANDA I SWEAR I NEED YOUR HELP IN THE UNDERVERSE YOU BETTER NOT LEAVE

[Proto Man]

I use artefact when I'm refering to 'artefacts,' the Omniverse objects.

Otherwise I use artifact: 'An artifact from the days of Darkshire's glory.

And for the record, the correct term for the facility we're fighting in is Colosseum (proper noun). Since it's based on its Roman equivalent (which is called the Colosseum), I used that spelling rather than coliseum.

Yo.

Round 2 will have started by tonight. Conclusions for the remaining two fights will be up as soon as the judging team can manage them.

If you got the higher score, you have the option of deciding if you want to post first or second. If I receive no response, whoever is the top person on the bracket will post first, just like round 1. Okay?

Use any time you need to buy things. After tonight, you won't be able to add anything to your character until following your fight. Thank you.

Edit - if you already posted your preference, just do me a favor and re-confirm so I don't have to dig back a few pages.

[Tearen Wover]

Shay and I have the same score soooo...?

[Proto Man]

We'll go with the listed order (so Kopaka would go first), unless Courier thinks it's life-or-death that he gets to go first. If that's the case, I'll just flip a coin with random number generator.

WARNING: INCOMING RANT

To me, it seems awfully irrational for my fight with Jak to be one of the last fights judged when we finished far earlier. It basically leaves our characters hanging in limbo for upwards of a week while everyone else gets their fights finished and get to make all sort of other conclusion and transitioning posts. Especially considering that Round 2 is on the verge of completing and we still haven't obtained results, it seems unfair and irresponsible, from my point of view.

Of course, I can't always share an opinion without looking like a jerk. I don't mean at all to turn this complaint into a serious argument; that would just be petty and mean to everyone else. I realize these judges have a lot of other things to do and mix-ups are entirely possible, and I'd be easy to forgive if this thing was nothing more than an oversight. It's just difficult for me to wait sometimes.

[Schwi Dola]

Sounds valid, but there may be other circumstances concerning the judge assigned.

You'll find that having 16 fights to judge can be at times logistically complicated when split between a limited number of people who have jobs and lives outside of the site. I'm sorry that you find it difficult to wait, but honestly man that's super rude and inconsiderate to the people who are trying to go out of their way to give you good c&c and ensure that your fight is graded properly.

The original grader had real life issues that trump your impatience, and I'm going through it and grading as we speak. Nobody is getting paid here and the first round was very difficult to get done, both logistically and mentally, while ensuring that the grades you receive are fair and validated.

I understand that you're impatient, but that's not a excuse to talk shit about people who are going out of their way to create an event for you. Your judgement is a single day late.

I would like to go second, please and thank you.

Yea, Dante wasn't talking shit. He was merely voicing an error he wasn't aware had already been taken care of. The judgment's under Trixie's watch did go unattended for a longer period than they should have, and while no one is blaming Trixie (We all understand real life > internet) that doesn't mean that those of us who have only just been graded and now must push out victors post within a strict time frame didn't get the short end of the stick.

Perhaps, as a way to prevent this from happening in the future, we could allow the judges to grab whatever fights that have been completed, instead of assigning the fights to a specific judge. That way, much like how staff works here, if one judge is unable to handle it for whatever reason, the other judges can take over.

Delegating the matches to a certain judge instead of allowing anyone of the judges to take them on as they finished actually kind of restricted our efficiency.

Just a suggestion.

[Proto Man]

Unless you are posting to state your order preference, don't post in this thread.

Thank you.
