New topic for the new month: Duel

Link is http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...ember-Edition) for this month's main thread!

**Jonesybites** · 10-03-2011, 02:43 PM

Oh damn, it's October already? I totally forgot about checking my entry score.

**Croswynd** · 10-03-2011, 02:44 PM

Time flies, eh? As well, your scores are in the main thread where the entries are.

**Jonesybites** · 10-03-2011, 02:46 PM

Even moreso now that I have to read CE and I just got teh game too at the same time.

But thanks for taking the time to critique our entries, Cros. I know it's time consuming but I just wanted you to know it's not going unnoticed. Now I gotta improve my game,

Oh crap, I just picked the theme this month didn't I...and I just realized now I gotta think of something for Crash. (bangs head on desk)

P.S. Since somebody asked, I could care less about a "prize" but that's just me. My rewards lie elsewhere.

**rusticangelic** · 10-03-2011, 02:59 PM

wow what an immense title, my brain is already whirring with activity, must make time to post in this one.

**Croswynd** · 10-03-2011, 03:10 PM

If anyone feels like judging instead of writing this month, please let me know. Still, don't feel as though you have to, since I -can- handle this myself should that be the case.

**wolfius** · 10-03-2011, 03:28 PM

I'll take a laugh at it.

**Croswynd** · 10-03-2011, 03:44 PM

Oh, hey, Jonesy, I don't suppose you could put another section in the FFC with links to each month of the assignment? Doesn't have to be now or anything, just a future idea. Don't want to lose these stories in the shuffle. :3

You do just that, sir.

That's a great idea. I'll get to work on it.

**Wisdom Thumbs** · 10-03-2011, 05:00 PM

I...
...I...I...

...I don't know what "Crash" means. At all. Not even in the slightest.

**Croswynd** · 10-03-2011, 05:03 PM

It means you have to write something that deals with a "Crash". Mentally, physically, monetarily. Anything, as long as it involves crashing.

**Sgt. Grub k1ller** · 10-03-2011, 06:12 PM

Is satire acceptable?

**wolfius** · 10-03-2011, 06:23 PM

You'll have in the next week. I need to concentrate on the noble art of "crashing a vehicle".

**Croswynd** · 10-03-2011, 06:32 PM

As long as it pertains to the topic, it can be any kind of genre, Grub. I've an open mind.

Also, while I admire your enthusiasm, wolf, make sure you take your time on it. You have until the end of the month, after all. I do recommend starting early, though, and working through the month on it. That goes for all of you :P

**Vandy** · 10-03-2011, 07:51 PM

Yea, ha ha, my last minute thing didn't seem to work

**Sgt. Grub k1ller** · 10-04-2011, 12:24 AM

Ah, ok then. I was considering a satire piece, but most look down on them because "Gears is serious business, no funnies allowed!". Ok, no one's said that, but I got the impression they would.

**Croswynd** · 10-04-2011, 12:43 AM

Well, since I seem to be the only judge, I think you're safe.

**SKORGE** · 10-04-2011, 01:49 AM

"Crash"?

.... alright, well off to attempt some sort of brainstorming.

**Sgt. Grub k1ller** · 10-04-2011, 02:15 AM

Crash, as in when Baird runs outa druggs, man.

**rusticangelic** · 10-04-2011, 04:27 AM

wow I just filled several note book pages for the term Crash... hmm where to go from here...

**Vandy** · 10-04-2011, 07:48 AM

You know that Gears is serious business, no funnies alowed right?

**Croswynd** · 10-04-2011, 12:09 PM

Oh, by the way, I hope you all read the rules again, because I added something fairly important about editting.

**rusticangelic** · 10-04-2011, 12:31 PM

you mean the no editing part of your rules? or have you added something more?

**Croswynd** · 10-04-2011, 01:19 PM

That's the one.

**Croswynd** · 10-06-2011, 12:16 PM

Bumping to keep this fresh like the Prince. How's everyone doing coming up with stories around "Crash"? ;P

**wolfius** · 10-06-2011, 12:25 PM

Almost done....some touch ups and it'll be ready.

**rusticangelic** · 10-06-2011, 12:28 PM

Currently still at notebook stage, I'm off work tomorrow, so might put fingers to keyboard and rattle out a few words then.

**Jay the Arbiter** · 10-06-2011, 12:54 PM

Eh, no real luck.

Though I am sort of thinking elsewhere right now.

**Croswynd** · 10-06-2011, 01:14 PM

You guys still have a whole month, so take your time.

**SKORGE** · 10-09-2011, 01:22 AM

I got some writing done for it.

**Croswynd** · 10-12-2011, 12:46 PM

Almost half the month has passed. Such a small amount of time. How's everyone doing?

**Sgt. Grub k1ller** · 10-21-2011, 03:07 AM

Geez, page 3 bump. Anyway, I completely forgot about this, but I have an idea now. I'll try my damnest to get it done.

**Sgt. Grub k1ller** · 10-24-2011, 10:45 PM

Just posted. My fingers are crossed that I win. :P

However, I am slightly pissed. I needed to say that my piece contained a Gears 3 spoiler, but if I edit that in, I'm disqualified. >_>

So anyone who is going to read my entry, THERE IS GEARS 3 SPOILERS!

**Croswynd** · 10-24-2011, 11:37 PM

Always glad to see another entrant. Looking forward to reading this one, Grub.

How's everyone else doing? :P

**rusticangelic** · 10-25-2011, 03:59 PM

Not going too bad Cros, will look at it over the weekend to see if I can get mine posted in time.

Btw good read Grub, I liked how you linked it into the campaign

**Jay the Arbiter** · 10-25-2011, 04:43 PM

Haven't had much luck, to be honest.

**Croswynd** · 10-25-2011, 05:08 PM

Oh, but your entry was so great last time, Jay. I hope some idea takes hold of you

**Jay the Arbiter** · 10-26-2011, 06:24 AM

I slept on it, and now I think I've got an idea to do!

It came from an idea I had for a short fiction, which I may do some day. 0.0

**Croswynd** · 10-27-2011, 09:26 PM

First two entries are graded and ready to be posted on Tuesday. Hoping for some more entries out of you guys, soon. Still got a few days; plenty of time to write something up.

**Jay the Arbiter** · 10-28-2011, 09:31 AM

Submitted my entry.

I don't think it's my best, as I did struggle with the theme. That, and I discovered a while back I'm a bit of a perfectionist. 0.0

Like I said, it was actually based off an opening chapter for a short story I had planned. I also had another idea, which was also based of an idea for a short. Trouble is, I think they were both more "Character BSOD's" rather than crashes.

Still, enough rambling from me, I tried!
