Alright, a while back I decided to conclude the story, but shortly, I changed my mind.

Now, here's a simple poll that will determine whether you guy's want to continue, or end it.

I say end the thing. It's turning into a "Red_Hawk vs. wackhead_uk" contest anyway.

Well, it is sort of getting old. I suggest letting it go for a couple of months, then reviving it.

I thought it should have ended about 15 pages ago. Other people felt it should have gone the way of Barbra Streisand's career fifteen pages before that. Honestly, I haven't even opened the thread in longer than I can remember.

How about a one sentence story? I think that would be much saner.

That would take up too much bandwith, and, even if we had the resources, 56K users (like me) would find it immensely difficult to read topics then.

I'd like to point out that, when we do decide to end the "One-Word Story", that we should lock the topic so that no forum lurker will come back to the topic 5 months later. I doubt Matt or Erik would have an issue with that...

Um.. When Stuwy said "Think hard about the next word, this is the last sentence," he definately meant that the next sentance was the last. So therefore it should have ended with "Stuwy exploded".

I don't know, "Stuwy exploded!" seems to have been prophetic. I think he's actually about to spontaneously combust.


...wait for it...

Heh... heh.... now I'm going to be the one to take the One Word Story off the "last posted on" list.

Is it going to be locked?

Yeah... Now we have a happy ending.

The whole story should be found in one place. (I think I saw it somewhere on some page earlier) I doubt, it'll make a lot sense, though.

And one thing, I've learned many new words!

It is, on the first post of the One Word Story.

You know, maybe we should have let it go to 1500 words. Ah well, too late now.

Sorry for posting twice in a row -

Since it's over, should we ask Schik to go over the page which shows all the words together and correct grammar and such?

Don't worry about posting two times in a row. Well, the Story is finished (try reading it now, look at the first post) A good run too (about 7 months, wow.) But fear not! Coming soon to an Anything board near you, more wacky word usage is on the way!

Well, it sort of faded into obscurity. I guess it's because people preferred the normal one, since it was already so well established.

When it first started, rank points were already implented. So nobody could gain another level unless you had very creative, funny and witty responses through the story.

Well, usually in a topic like that, only the first few good posts are rated. People seem to be too apathetic for the rest.

Actually, it just got too random.

Many people were trying to relate the middle and end parts back to the start themes, but then other people swung it off again at a completely random tangent. It got boring after a while. Plus, a lot of the grammar became extremely incoherent towards the middle, so some of it didn't make sense anyway.
