    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    Voting points this round: 1323

    Announcement
    The new vote counting system is awesome. That is all.

    User Errors
    clupean - You need to number your votes. I have put numbers to them, starting with 6 at the top, but if this is repeated, I will ignore your vote altogether. Okay?
    Also, Another Way is not n the voting round. So I have taken the 3 vote points and applied them to the story with the lowest count of vote points for the round, which happened to be Bait and Switch. It thanks you :p


    On to the main event.

    Alea Iacta Est 1007
    All Alone 537
    Bait & Switch 609
    Confrontation II 257
    Danny & Taylor 698
    Hostage Situation 0 (1039)
    I, Panacea 735
    Junior Hero 822
    Meet the Heberts 341
    MirrorVerse 897
    NSW 713
    Nemesis 592
    One More Trigger 82
    Really Bad End 975
    Recoil 469
    Security! 875
    Slippery Slope 51
    Trump Card 999
    War Games 995
    Wyvern 322

    [If you want to know which of these stories is NSFW, check the first post of the thread..]
    So yeah, Hostage Situation made it in, 32 points ahead of Alea Iacta Est and 40 ahead of Trump Card. I can see both of those pushing through, in that order, with War Games behind them, before Really Bad End gets a go.


    Check out Jim Starluck 's spreadsheet for a reasonable prediction.

    Note also that the vote counting script given to me by Throne3d was of huge assistance.

    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 six 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 six points, second is worth five, and so on.
    3) You can't vote twice on the same story. The voting code 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] Alea Iacta Est - 6
    [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.

    Mr. Tebbs, would you be interested in a trade of War Games - 2 for Recoil - 2?

    EDIT: Fixed the messed up quote box.

    OK - my policy from this point is that I will copy top eligible vote of somebody who gives "I, Panacea" 6 points and quotes this post
