Ooooohhh... see, that explains why my portrayal of the Shadow Court as the group "Public Enemy" never won anything. Arel was Flava Flav. I must have submitted that like eighteen times. I thought it was just because of my repeated use of the word "biznatch," but you can't censor great art!


FLAVA FLAAAAAAAV.

It didn't win because any story involving Xenthos is doomed to failure by being DEBATED TO DEATH.

Congratulations to Amani for becoming a Minstrel; Lendren for becoming an Exalted Maestro; Catarin for becoming a Superior Storyteller; and Sylandra, Siam, and Cenydd for joining the rankings.

Congratulations to Eliron, Thalkros, and Solanis for becoming Storytellers; Thul for becoming a Laureate; and Tanwen, Chixsanga for joining the rankings.

This time was delayed since the effort of maintaining the three-column form was far too crazy to maintain, so I wrote a C program to generate it for me from a plain list. Not gonna do the congratulations part anymore, though.
Kiradawea2010-09-15 22:52:15
I'm no longer on the list? ohmy.gif
Lendren2010-09-15 23:09:34
Hmmm.... maybe there are still bugs in the program. sad.gif
Lendren2010-09-15 23:37:36
Bug fixed. Sthai, Catarin, and Kiradawea are restored to the list.

I expected this to be a pretty trivial program but it ended up almost 200 lines.

All the work you put into maintaining the bardic records is very appreciated, Lendren smile.gif
Ayisdra2010-09-16 11:47:02
Me and my one point self are gone from the list too.
Kiradawea2010-09-16 16:48:08
Yeah. The work is much appreciated. It makes me happy to see that there's one thing I do reasonably well at least.

No you're not, you're there. Don't scare me like that.

Ooh, its not in alpha order....
Lendren2010-09-17 02:13:18
It's in score order, then alpha order within each score, as it's always been.

Lendren! biggrin.gif Just the person I require.

Does the story you write have to be based on your character, specifically? I read through this thread and someone mentioned it but I'm not sure. You seem like an expert.

HELP BARDIC suggests in one spot that it should be something your character might have written. I personally think that's a bad idea if taken literally, since it means those who play characters who wouldn't write (because it's not in character for them to do so) can't participate, and since the rule makes even less when you consider how artisanals work. So far as I know, bardics are never outright rejected because someone says the character they were posted on wouldn't've written that, but you never know. Naturally, it doesn't have to involve your character just because he may have written it.

Thanks! happy.gif

Actually, I'm writing it about a character I had about four RL years ago. Sometimes I base my stories like that which is why I was wondering.
