RE: An IFC short story.

Thanks for the nice words about my writing. :) I liked headchange's story as well! I thought she did a great job. Also I think you meant iexplore by the way you typed iexploit a couple times.
No worries about not getting an entry in! Glad you tried. :D

I'm not totally sure what you mean by a conspiracy to finish off the IFC? I think overtime is often welcomed in sport especially in championship games.. Some of my fondest memories growing up were watching overtime games with my father and seeing the competitors play their best with time running out, it was one of the things that made watching sports really enjoyable for me growing up not that I watch sports much anymore other than some UFC from time to time.
To answer your question yes.. I suppose we could have used other parameters to decide like you mentioned. And originally it was suppose to be an odd number of judges but a couple backed out last minute and I was unable to find a replacement in time.

I will do my best to make sure we don't have ties anymore in the finals.. Or.. I may make a post about it and ask what the community thinks as you were not the only one who was concerned about that. There was one other person who also pointed out similar.. So.. I'm thinking it should probably go up for a vote and we should ask the community what they think about ties in the final round.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I value your opinion and I'm glad to hear you still believe in the IFC. :) <3
