SHORT STORY -SEE NEW THREAD

top notch response you lyrical tinkers!

Being as the voting only allows for 12 entries and we already have 11, i would say that only 1 more entry can be accepted. (unless anyone can think of a way around it?)

Don't limit the entries - that wouldn't be cricket!
Can't you just set up 2 poles that run into each other?

heheh well Mand if you can explain how, i would be glad to

there is a maximum of 12 options in any poll.

The only way i can see to increase the amount of poll entries would be:

1. to have 2 separate rounds of votes in this thread - that will double to time.
2. Open another duplicate thread with different options - i don't want to do tend 2 threads and the site won't allow duplicate threads anyway.
3. Open another thread only for voting - whoever gets into the smaller second thread has no chance.. and who wants to look around for 2 threads..
4. no poll and make people announce their vote as a post. - i reckon that is less fun and would ensure less people would vote for fear of upsetting people.

If i have missed something please let me know, as i would rather not limit entry either.
who knows, this may be the most entries we ever get anyway, so perhaps the problem will not arise.

I think 12 spots is enough.

[InkL0sed]

Yeah, I'm not submitting this week.

[jiminski]

....set up 2 poles that run into each other..

I can't really do that Mandy..

the site put that limit on of 12 so i am not sure if they can permanently over-ride it or not.. otherwise a mod would have to set me up a bespoke poll each week. heh a little hopeful perhaps.

Well, it would be a pity to turn anyone away. Though like you say, it may not come to that anyway.

And if you quote me one more time writing 'pole' instead of 'poll', I shall have to strangle you.

with 2 poles running together i would think it almost a certainty ^^

No need to get all Polish, let's stick to 1 vote. If there are more than 12 entries I think you, as dungeon master, should sift through the contributions and present the best 12 to the judges.

[jiminski]

it was a double-pole/cock stroke 'come again' joke, Fropper .. I was never going to entertain a double vote.

[mandyb]

Good Lord, looks like I'm the only innocent one among us!

Not to be outdone, I shall be brushing up on my porn a.s.a.p.

[jiminski]

OK guys the Poll is not working ... it looks as though we will have to wait until Tuesday anyway .. it is just duplicating everything!

[william18]

And we are back!! Lets bring up the poll!

[jiminski]

And we are back!! Lets bring up the poll!

Bloody hell this flipping Cock-up!

Poll is still not working William, sorry everyone!

[jiminski]

Ok people, the Poll is not yet working and I am concerned that this is taking too long (although we do at least have other Dramatised events to involve our active imaginations!)

how are we feeling about this?
i could ask for voting to be cast in this thread; although i think open voting is less likely to encourage a large vote.

Or we could do it by PM vote to me; although that involves your complete and and undue trust in me.


Perspectives please people of prose!

Wait? or move on in a make-shift manner?

[Frop]

Let's move on and resort to PMs, this thread will be dead by the time CC fixes it.

[mandyb]

Is it just in games that the poll won't work, or is it a general thing? You could try making the poll in 'The (not-yet) Recovered' maybe and see if it works over there.
If not, then PMs will be the way to go, though a lot more work for you Jim.

I have not voted yet so i can not tell anything yet.. but:

With the Poll being in the Main Forum, us there a danger that people will just vote without reading the Passages ?

That wouldn't really be something someone would do. People are more likely to read and vote, or not read and leave alone.

excellent, in which case some more people may get to see the story.

[jiminski]

Congratulations to Fruit for the second instalment.

All entries were truly excellent!

Sorry for the delay, but the forum cock-up and all the site drama has not helped us.

Passage 3 is now open for Entry:

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL FUTURE ENTRIES SHOULD ALL BE PM'ed TO ME.

MandyB came up with this suggestion in order to increase anonymity; add a little more mystery and circumvent any partisan voting behaviour.
