Okay, finally. Confrontation rewrite has been completed.

Note that chapters 7 and 8 have both been rewritten somewhat.

Also, what the hell. Tallying votes.

Voting is CLOSED.
 
Vote 50: NSW
  • Threadmarks
    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    A few notes:
    1kal spelt Iacta with an L instead of an i. Please correct this. It makes my job harder :p
    moontheir4 and Suzushiro Aoi both voted for Confrontation, despite the fact that it was taken out of the running. The five points from that will be given to the story earning the lowest points this voting round, which happens to be Really Bad End. It thanks you :D

    Please check your votes, especially if you are copy pasting each time. If there is an extra space or an omitted space between the name, hyphen and number, this causes the vote counter to register it as a different name. fishbait08 edale Asheram Firedon Chase92 ArbaletShot inky please take note. :)

    Secondary Vote Result
    Given that Confrontation finished last vote round, I instituted another secondary vote for a new story to enter the lineup.
    Nemesis came in last again, with 4 votes. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
    Slippery Slope came in second with 10 votes. Getting closer ...
    And for the winner, we have All Alone, with 22 votes. It will be getting this many points as a kicker to start with.

    And now on to the main event ...


    Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.

    Alea Iacta Est 98
    All Alone 22
    All Unaware 544
    Bait & Switch 67
    Danny & Taylor 596
    I, Panacea 318
    Junior Hero 327
    MirrorVerse 442
    NSW 0 (651)
    One More Trigger 222
    Really Bad End 357
    Recoil 403
    Security! 378
    Trump Card 248
    War Games 246

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]

    Looks like Confrontation might be next, actually. Wouldn't be surprised if it made 600 on the next vote.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...

    Which it did. Also in the 600s is NSW. Following that, in no particular order, are All Unaware and Danny & Taylor in the 500s.

    Danny & Taylor looks like the odds-on favourite for the next round, followed almost certainly by All Unaware. However, after that, Recoil is coming up fast, and our other two traditional big scorers, Trump Card and I, Panacea are also piling on the points. The new dark horse that's just joined, Alea Iacta Est (remember, folks, that's an i not an L), has just slammed on a massive 72 point score for its first voting round. If that isn't a sign of big things to come, I don't know what is. Of course, All Alone has just joined the roundup as well, so we have yet to see how that goes.


    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


    For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

    1) UP TO five votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
    2) First vote is worth five points, second is worth four, and so on.
    3) You can't vote twice on the same story. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
    4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
    5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.

    Vote format looks like this:

    [X] I, Panacea - 5
    [X] Security! - 4
    [X] Recoil - 3
    [X] Trump Card - 2
    [X] NSW - 1

    Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.

    Thank you.

    Jack of Olives; Confrontation's not on the list anymore due to being done.

    I've had this ready since you finished the last chapter on Confrontations. Just too lazy to re-edit a previous post.

    Dr. Mercurious, there's no secondary vote this time. Also, All Alone won the secondary vote and is on the normal voting list now.

    Ack, I think I've lost track, what stories are close to ending now? Please tell me I'm wrong and it's not Security!, at 6 or so chapters until completion... That means the next secondary vote won't be for weeks, maybe a month or two... I can't wait that long for my Slippery Slope fix... Especially as you might come up with another new story or two in the interim, making it that much more likely that Slippery Slope will lose the secondary vote... (And I'm sure pepperjack's bemoaning the odds of Nemesis ever getting on the voting list at this point...)

    Security! is indeed going to be ending soon, probably somewhere around* the Chapter 50 mark. Really Bad End won't be lasting too much longer, but that's okay, it's barely getting any votes as it is :p
    The rest of them ... are pretty well here for the long run.

    * that is, within one or two of the 50 mark.

    I'll just keep voting it at six until it makes it. No worries.

    That'll work eventually, right? They add up?

    No, but I might post another Nemesis chapter soon anyway. Just for you :D
