 Okay so I guess the OP does technically say that posts will be judged by the last week's winner and two selected co judges so if you feel that you were UNFAIRLY DEPRIVED OF JUDGEMENT please, hesitate to PM me and I'll change your avatar back or whatever.

Congratulations to the first guy in TD's three-year history to complain to the mods over judgment.

Bad seafood, perhaps you should allow Thranguy to make some of the flash rules, especially since this is his first win.

(10:57:21 PM) BadSeafood: But yeah I love gambling stories. Is it alright if I offer flash rules? (10:57:57 PM) Thranguy: Okay, so that's set up. Sure, go ahead and offer flash rules, was just about to say that I wasn't going to myself but that it would be fine.

Take a gamble with Djeser's flash rules. Are you going to have to write about an egg? Only one way to find out.

For the record, the person who complained wasn't Fausty. Hit me up in irc if you actually care who it was. Which you shouldn't.

newtestleper posted:For the record, the person who complained wasn't Fausty. Hit me up in irc if you actually care who it was. Which you shouldn't. Fine. Let's get it all out. It was me. I was the one who got a mod involved. And you wanna know why? It's because three judges are required per prompt. Every one of us who signed up went in blind but I was the only one who asked why there wasn't two other judges I'd be lying if I said this wasn't personal, but you know what T-Rex, how would I know if your decision to make me a dishonorable mention wasn't personal? How do I know that there isn't still any antagonism on your end towards me? Even after that brawl we settled? I don't but what I do know is that I poured a lot of heart and soul into a story which was incredibly unpleasant to write and did not need to be posted. But it did not deserve the DM. That's why I'm crying foul. Because this week should be null and void. Because you broke the rules. And all I have to go on is how you have an extra-special crit ready for me: Tyrannosaurus posted:Wait for my crit, darling. You know what, T-Rex? Keep it to yourself. You are no more qualified to judge anybody than I am. Newtesleper, you think you can say "I know who did it" and then scurry off where I can't go? You are a two-faced snake. To everyone else: call me a rat, call me a snitch, call me every last nasty name in the book. I don't care. Don't for a minute think that you, or anybody else, can break the rules. Because it's not about the rules, it's about us. It's about how we're supposed to be a community of writers and a competition but if one person breaks the rules, that completely destroys any confidence in what we have. I love the Thunderdome and I won't stand for this. I won't stand by and have our community turn into a prison gang. Either of you have a problem with me? Anybody have a problem with me? Good. You know where to find me, I'm going nowhere.

We've had two-judge weeks before. Noah always judges solo. No rules were broken. Rest assured though I read your story and it awful. Had I accepted Tyrannosaurus' offer to co-judge in IRC I would have agreed with him 100%.

Kinda weird it's Benny going off about the rules though considering he breaks them all the time when it suits him.

Benny the Snake posted:You're really gonna do me like that, aren't you? hi. I'm Sitting T. Here, you may know me from such works as, the OP of this thread and the OP of the last thread. im here to talk to you today about STOP RULES LAWYERING THE THREAD. judgment in TD has never been an objective ruling by objective people. lol at anyone who thinks it is. this isn't loving FIFA it's a silly internet writing thread with a loose competitive aspect to help drive interest. Plus, there have been plenty of weeks with atypical judging arrangements. We have the "rule" of 3 because there needs to be a guideline, and 3 is the lowest possible number of judges where you can break a tie. Benny, I appreciate your enthusiasm about maintaining the spirit of TD. But in this case, the thread is now derailing because of something that, in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter as long as we're all writing and critting.

For the benefit of newcomers to the thread who may be unaware and confused: There is precedent for anywhere from one to five judges for Thunderdome. Three is the strongly suggested number, and like "no fanfiction" and "no erotica," it is stated in the OP as a rule. Like nearly every rule there is, it may be rendered void by the lead judge at will. The one, true law of Thunderdome is ius iudicis. Judge's law. The prize for winning Thunderdome is to decide the rules for a week, just as the price of winning Thunderdome is the obligation to read upward of 20,000 words of fiction and render a verdict before someone hunts you down to brand FJGJ on your flesh. It isn't Humboldt Squid's job to enforce Thunderdome-specific rules, and calling him to do so puts a burden on someone who has more important forum duties. It is a dick move. If anyone new to the game has questions about the thread runs, go on and ask--or just read Sitting Here's last post and take it to heart.

Benny the Snake posted:Don't for a minute think that you, or anybody else, can break the rules. But, of course, this doesn't apply to you.  Thunderdome is, and always has been, up to judge whim with general guidelines for people not yet comfortable enough to do their own thing. Which you would know if you actually paid attention to this community you're trying to champion, instead of trying to fall flailing back on rules because you're butthurt about a DM/DQ for a nonsense story.
