While dexexe's posts aren't that good grammar-wise and storytelling-wise, he is quite creative with what he does get out. However, we don't know anything about Dorukomets. All we know right now is that he's a pompous ghostly knight, who can turn tangible/intangible.
I voted against almost-there, no offense to him though.

The hell?
Anyway, no I didn't vote him off because he's new, it's because we don't know beans about his character. Not much character-development, y'know?

Dorukomets, we don't know enough about him to really do much. We don't know his strengths, weaknesses, personality...

Which concerns me because he could make two votes.

And this is why polls suck.
Just count the posts, it's easier and it avoids the problem of anonymity.

It seems, poll or not, that the general consensus is to vote out almost-there. Well, it's tied in the poll, but I don't exactly trust it right now because of Andy.
Therefore, the next story post is reserved for almost-there. There is no expiration on this, as he needs to write up the death of Dorukomets. After that post, it's reserved for me to write in the next round transition.

I'm fairly certain that Andy is causing these ties. He has the power of a maximum of 4 votes, after all.

Each account has the theoretical voting power of 2, when they change their vote.

But if he hasn't voted at all, he only has an effective voting power of 2.
In other words, if there's a vote of 4-0 before he's considered, then the most he can do with two accounts is make it 4-2. "Voting power of 4" suggests that he could turn that situation into a tie, but he can't.
Being able to change the *margin* by two isn't the same as having a voting power of 2.

I'm thinking that if somebody takes 24 hours to post their death, I'll write it myself and just have that part of the story be part of the story that moves it to the next round.

Just wondering, what else do we plan on writing about besides combat and dialogue? Will there be more objectives that need to be completed in the next rounds? Like, say, a race to the finish, or perhaps work as a team to complete a goal? Otherwise, this could get old real fast.

You guys just happened to choose to fight from the start. Just because the guy running this thing wants everybody to fight, doesn't mean your characters necessarily have to go along with it. Somebody will always die each round, but if none of the players are going to willingly kill, the "Director" will set something up to make it so.
(the guy running the show is now known as the Director from now on because it's easier than The Guy Running This Show)
So yeah. If you find that everybody fighting isn't good storytelling, then you've got to switch it up a bit. Keeping things interesting is one of the ways I rate writing, anyway.
