Seconds:

Wow! 9 nominations, 1 second!!

civman2000 · March 12, 2002, 22:54

If we could have a competition for the best writer as opposed to best story, i nominate curlyboy and cbraund...though Richilieu and OzWolf are up there too!

civman2000 · March 12, 2002, 23:03

Oops! I forgot World at War...The Iroqious Threat by Grundel...the reason is that i was looking through the boards to find the best and that one seems to have disappeared

...wait, i think i can find a link to it...it's at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=35061, but you cant find it from the thread list...

curlyboy24 · March 12, 2002, 23:19

I would like to nominate The History of the Arconoshvenogentai!! You should write another story civman!

civman2000 · March 13, 2002, 12:59

I un-nominate it....

PS: i am planning to write another story, of the athenians (greeks renamed) in a mod i made a while ago...I'm not sure whether I should start with the second german war or the egyptian war....

steelehc · March 13, 2002, 15:10

Stupid double-post

Steele

steelehc · March 13, 2002, 15:11

Civman: I re-nominate it.

The Iroquois Threat, by Grundel has already won a story contest. As such, I think we should leave it out of this one, to make room for more.

Speaking of more, we need four more nominations.

Steele

SultanofATL · March 13, 2002, 15:25

Steele I nominate your story "world war one act one" as well as "Rodina the motherland"

civman2000 · March 13, 2002, 17:49

if stories that won earlier are out, i think "short story in pictures" is out...

civman2000 · March 13, 2002, 17:52

I nominate The Persian Invasion of 1542 by PResidentMike and Canton National Historical Battlefield by Coinich

steelehc · March 13, 2002, 18:02

Great. 16 nominations. I'll start a new poll. If there are more nominations, another poll can be started later.

Steele

Jack_www · March 13, 2002, 18:11

I see that civman2000 has nominated my story for the story contest. I dont want my story entered into the contest yet because I wanted to finish the story first, so for people who like my story and want it in the story contest, please wait untill I finish the story to nominate. I am glad that you like it so much to nominate it for the story contest.

No, don't....all nominations should have to be seconded, and so far only2 have been...that's how we can avoid an excess of nominations

steelehc · March 13, 2002, 18:28

Civman2000: Good thinking. What would I do without you? We'll wait for there to be 16 seconded nominations.

Jack_www: If you want your story removed from the nominations list, thats ok, but I think it deserves a spot.

Steele

civman2000 · March 13, 2002, 18:30

hmmmm...i would say that's a second for jack_www, but if he doesn't want it in it shouldnt be in....

PS: maybe you could use the same train of thought in taking mine off...*hint* *hint*
