Thanks for the recognition but like most PBM games I'm just trying to make this the best experience possible. This game allows us to be an explorer or a builder, a warrior or a homicidal maniac, a hermit or a social butterfly. Your empire is what you make it to be. The fiction is just an avenue to let you share with us your vision and imagination.
Just to give you an update on the competition. The judge has returned his verdict. In his view there was a definitive 1st and 2nd place but a 3-way tie for 3rd. Instead of sharing the 3rd place prize each player writing one of the 3rd place stories will receive 8,000 RUs. My turn has been sent in and barring anything unfortunate all judged prizes should be paid tomorrow. Cybernetic prizes (yes there was one) will be paid in 4,000RU increments. If you don't get a prize award tomorrow don't give up hope, there is still the reader's choice awards.
If you did not get an entry in for this competition sharpen your pencils. I hear strong rumors of a future competition or something to do with player histories coming up.
One thing I should also add. The judge did say purely as a reader's viewpoint, that he did not understand the cyber war ramblings. Ok, maybe he did not say ramblings. Maybe that was just my interpretation. Personally I think those cybers are drunk on too much binary code... but maybe that's just me. [Editor's note: Am I just poking fun at cybers? Definitely yes. I'm just going to put my earplugs in before the talk of heresy and me being smited starts:-)]
