LESS THAN THREE HOURS, GUYS! YOU REALLY MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT FINISHING UP!

And suddenly, large text! Huge amounts of it!

I ain't entering, I haven't got anything I can really translate into DROD without it basically being talking heads.

After trying to convert my time setting to Dugandy Standard Time, I made an erroneous deadline annoucement. Sorry about that.

Ahh. But I believe it's over now. Techant, I really, really, like your story. Good story, and good scripting. I'll be giving it high marks!

I have to say that you are lucky, I can't remember a particular time I came to know Jesus. I don't have that type of story to tell.

Actually, 41 minutes to go, by my watch.

negative 957 weeks, 3 days

untiltime tags ftw.

turns out I forgot about DST. We still have 1 hour 40 minutes.

Seriously guys, everyone who entered this particulat contest did a fantastic job. I loved each and every one of them! Is it possible for everyone to get a tie?

I just got back in and saw all the nice comments, thanks so much.

I will say that I was glad we could see some earlier entries. I had mine all laid out but had not done the scripting in the heart rooms yet. I was not doing it rigth. I saw how some of you were doing it. I was completely different from the way I was. So I did the heart rooms with the new scripting idea. It turned out so much better. Thanks.

Scripting hints for others: put all your scripting on one NPC character, and have the talking go back and forth by changing which character is speaking and how.

This works much better in most cases than having NPC characters each have a speech part with the player needing to hit the stand in place key.

So are you one of those athiest freaks?" might have gotten you in trouble though, suprised the teacher didn't get in trouble for calling christians Jesus freaks

It was a popular slang of the day, I think he was just trying to be cool rather than put me on the spot. Back in the early 70's folks were not as careful to not put someone on the spot for there political or religious positions, they wanted to know why you belived what you did. But is still took me off guard as you can see.

Thanks for the nice comments

Incidentally, I deliberately left my hold Anyone-Edit, as this is only the, er, fourth hold I've posted here, and that includes the eyeballs and a one-room joke. And it's more scripting than I've tried, so advice is always welcome.

Chaco I could not belive that you had such a bad experince. What city/town did that happen in? Why didn't you report it to the police? I just felt so sad for you when I got to that part, wow. I sure am glad you are OK now.

Oh, for crying out loud; why does this keep happening to me? I should write a hold in which Beethro writes a hold and screws up the stairs.

I've attached the proper version. Hopefully not a problem, Erik?

Yeah, it's fine.

I'm now putting the poll together and will only accept entries posted before this time. If you have any entries still posted in this topic that shouldn't be included, please remove them.
