In a WBO writing battle, participants will decide on a scene or event, and will have to write a short paragraph or 2 describing the specified scene or event.

The rules:

1. Each battle must have its' own thread, and participants cannot vote

2. battles will be won by the most amount of votes for an entry.

3. Each battle cannot involve more than 10 people, as more would get messy

4. Each battle must specify in the opening post what the challenge is, and the entries.

5. Voters will vote in the thread (duh)

6. Participants cannot post the entries

7. When the entries are posted, usernames will not be given. They will be labeled by the entry number.

Wait, you need to include the voting at least in the OP

EDIT: Never mind, you made the poll.
they were both stunning pieces of writing. but i think entry one really got the emotion of the character well.
Hm? Someone besides me, Sparta or Coasters "R" Us voted "Only Coasters, Sparta, and Megablader9 should choose this". Anyways, this should be fun.
One was great. Whoever wrote it has a great vocabulary.
Ha, I think I went waaay overboard with my entry. I can't specify in what way, because that would which one is mine.
I don't think so. I think mine may have been a bit over-dramatic myself. Anyway, I would have preferred the poll be public, so that way, we know who voted for who, and make sure that nobody just voted for themselves (Theoretically. I trust everyone involved enough so that they play by the rules.) Mainly, I'm peeved by whoever voted for the third choice for no reason.

Yeah, that was kinda weird...unless it was another coasters megablader or Sparta :0

Honestly, this was NOT my best work. I started it at 12:15 and finished at 12:20. NOT a lot of effort...
Meh, mine took about three hours to finish. Editing was a PAIN. Maybe my ending was a bit abrupt?

I know your one now. heh. my vote stays
Meh. I wish people would at least post WHY they voted for someone. That would be best. You don't have to, but it's recommended.

EDIT: Apparently, my post was illegal Wink
Ah! Edit that, Sparta! It's not illegal, I don't think, but it may make some people vote for or against you depending on who wrote what.

Copied what, TFW?

And please, NO MORE VOTING FOR THE THIRD CHOICE! It's a wasted vote.

Haha, two more people...

Really, we should have just made it a public poll
...You people are ignoring me to annoy us, aren't you? It's not hard. Pick choice ONE or TWO. The third one is OFF LIMITS. Geez, I really want to know who's doin' this stuff.

Haha, 2 more! I shouldn't encourage them, but I have to admit it's kind of funny that we're all getting TO'd and they keep ignoring us.
But it is starting to annoy me like crazy. Ignorant users...
Just close the poll so people will have to vote in person. It is very annoying.

People these days Serious tisk tisk tisk....

Wait, I forget. Is it the first to 8 or is there a date (rhyme)
We may have to start over. All these non-votes skew data. (Yeah, I said "data". Technically, it is.) We should have a date, though.

Ok, your right; and sure, how about the 16th?

Oh, does that not work for you? We can change it if you'd like...

To avoid SPAM, let's continue this through PM's. For now, maybe we should just have this thread closed...
It was supposed to be first to 8, read the very bottom of the OP. I can't close the poll, only mods can.
