You're not required to post your story to the forum, or in other cases the Sex Stories Site. My stories do not get read here on the forum, however it's the only place where I can receive public comment. I've taken a page from blueheatt and start a thread here, giving the link to the site.

 

I would still like the voters to remain anonymous (known only to the host and previous host for confirmation) and only the vote totals made public at the end. It is only important who won and not who voted for whom.

Seeing who voted for you (or who DIDN'T) does little more than promote bad feelings, in my opinion.

 

Ouch.

Imagine you go to the races, and they're off and everyone turns away from the track, the commentary stops and a Barry Manilow song plays until the commentator announces the winner cause that's all that matters.

Yep, that sounds exciting.

 

Imagine watching the Oscars, Billy Crystal does his boring jokes and then it's a night of NOT opening the envelopes because everybody already knows the results.

Yep, that sounds exciting.

 

Oh touche you wordsmith you.

So what's worse; your example or mine?

Not that it matters a rats arse, you and EJLS and the other elite members of the brains trust will do exactly what you set out to do in the first place.

 

Wow, you writers sure are wordy (I always try to say as much as I can with as few words as possible). I'm with Ejls, I support her all the way :rose:

 

Basically, with an attitude like this, no one cares to listen to you. We all get shit in our real lives, and when we come here, in our off time, and put in hours of work trying to better things, only to get shit from you, what the fuck do you think we're going to do, thank you?

No, we're going to say "Fuck you" and do what we think is best, and even if you had a decent idea or two, we're going to be prejudiced against it just because it came from you with your shitty attitude.

So, put that in your pipe and smoke it, motherfucker.

 

An attitude like what shit for brains?

I am calling it exactly as it is and you are one of the clique so you're as biased as they come.

You can't cope with a contrary view you can't beat so you resort to name calling.

This whole thing is a sham, EJLS and her trusty pals are going to make the rules up as they see fit and that's how its going to be.

 

Even if that were true, none of the rules seem draconian enough for it to matter anyway. I think the voting mechanism has always worked fine as it was (well, except for sock votes, but there's not much to be done about that), so this strikes me as a case of something unbroken not needing a fix, but by the same token most of the proposed fixes seem like they'd work fine too. I guess it's not that helpful to just say "Oh, anything will do," but that's honestly how I feel.

 

This IS, after all, a challenge concept that ejls brought to the forum. It has been through ten and a half runs and now (as it again falls to her to host it) we all want to improve it so that it continues into the future.

It was ejls who wanted to make sure all voices were heard before permanent changed were made.

I'm sure, Prurient Purveyer, that yours will be one of the voices taken into consideration.

From what I have gathered, most people will be very happy with the coming CAW challenges.

 

So why do you persist? You're the loudest complainer, yet, you rarely participate, and when you do have something to say, you're the lone voice of dissent. Can't you get it through your head that you're simply wrong? You sit here and insult Ejls and, well, recently you said 50 people here were wrong and you were right. How self-centered and egotistical can one person be?


God, I've never come across a more obstinate fuck in my life. You make Joe Dirty a welcome sight.

 

BRAIN TRUST???

XNXX HAS A BRAIN TRUST???

HD

 

Whats Happening? I can vote but not tell the forum who, or why, I voted for them? Only two people will know who voted and will tell us the number of votes? I am not allowed to vote because of my name. As was proved in the last challenge. If anybody else votes and you do not like their name will you just not count it. Will you inform the thread that you have received a vote but didnt count it because you didnt like the name.

 

You have it in one; there is no transparency its all done in secret, by two buddies.

Horse can't understand why I bother when I'm wrong.

But I'm not; after all the input on voting and show or don't show we get ELPs post and its obvious he and the others are stuck on what they have proposed. So back to the "draft" and the driver is the expectation that stories and or writers will be disqualified, that generates the need for polling to be by PM and we have no idea who or what sock vote was accepted for not.

Maybe it will be run according to Hoyle but if we can't see, we can't know.

If it goes ahead as planned then absolutely all the fun in it will be sucked right out of it and the result will be one huge anti climax.

ELP uses the Oscars as a for instance. Fair enough, he has a point but what about elections. Follow the Presidential one or the mid-terms? Watch the polling updates? He doesn't, just reads it in tomorrow's paper.

 

If that were the case, sir, I wouldn't ask for people's opinions. I want everyone who wants, to have a voice in how to avoid the issues of the last CAW.

But then, you don't care do you? You don't play our reindeer games.

 

So tell me I'm wrong Madam.

Tell me you aren't just going to go ahead with Plan A.

At the end of it all all you have to do is issue a Post stating the team have looked at all the proposals and the following is confirmed. Only nasty little fault finders like me will bother to read it and it will become law.

And obviously I do care so that was a stupid comment to make and no I have no idea what reindeer games are.

 

Official voting will be done by pm, however anyone can announce who they voted for on the thread.

 

If you have been following along from the beginning, you would know that it has been revised a couple of times. Nothing said is going to please everyone - but I'm attempting to do something that will be fair and please most. After all, it's not like any of us is going to retire on our winning a CAW.

 

Reindeer games are what they wouldn't let poor Rudolph (the red nosed) join in. It was also the title of a 2000 movie starring Ben Affleck.

 

Um, you didn't get the retirement bonus from winning? Geesh. I'll have to talk with the other elitists and get that money rolling your way.
