Verily, I am chuffed! ;D

So what did you use the score the stories anyway? Come on, I think we all want to see the answer sheet. I'd wager SP&G (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammer) is a given, as is Fluff-consistancy, but what else did you guys look for?

Congrats Wargamer, your entries were superb!

All entries were marked out of 5 for SPAG (Spelling Punctuation and Grammar), How Interesting they were, Ease to Read, Detail, and extra info (where notes were swapped on overall impressions).

Well, I try.

Oh, I may as well spend my points on Karma, as I can get a new Custom Title whenever I want. ;D

Well, I wasn't surprised that Wargamer won, but there were plenty of great entries this year, and you definatly had your work cut out for you!

Splendid. So what's a Tau Online Seal then? And what're competition points? Is there an ongoing competition happening here?

Yay! I placed!

So my questions are:

-Can we read the stories now?

-How many entrants were there?

-Do you put the competition seals on, or do you post a pic and we download them?

...but mostly #1.

EDIT: Tom Norman, competition points can be found in the stickied thread "competition points" on this board. You should have 5, I believe.

Tom, if you haven't read the organization for competitions, look HERE.

Points can be exchanged for "gifts"...

A seal is a mini-signature picture, that you can put in your signature to show that you won the competition!
[hr]


There were 8 entries, 4 misc entries, and 4 battle entries...


I'll post the entries up when 42 gets back to make a new topic, as I can't make a topic in the competition board. :-\

I will send you the seals via PM. Don't worry!

Wow! I'm surprised I did so well! Gave Wargamer a run for his money even? I certainly can't complain.

I had a lot of fun belting out that little piece though. It was something I was going to write anyway, due to a campaign my local gaming group ran, (p.s. Nebuchadnezzar bagged his Daemon Prince, and Hammurabi bagged a Hive Tyrant! Aarhus has a couple more notches on his belt too)

I'll see if I can throw the fluff on the main site at some point and time though!


Cheers,
Lawrence.
