I'm waiting for stEPH to come back and finish off Set Down This.

What part of "rage quit" did you not get?

[deflective]

the time has come for set down this, the point goes to oil of dog.

our list has become pretty small, everyone that wants to could start tracking their own changes.  just include any untracked changes since the last time the list was posted.

Evening up the bottom and the top.  I'll be glad to see Dreaming Way and Her Collection of Intimacy gone, but then the top 4 are awfully hard for me.  This will require serious thought for tomorrow.

Don't bother, m8... it's already outlived far worthier stories for too long.

Hmm.... At the moment, there's one story in the top four I haven't heard (papa was a gypsy). I should probably find time to listen to it soon or I'll have to stop participating.

I should probably give Her Collection of Intimacy a listen. I haven't made any plays for or against stories I haven't listened to, but since we're down to the last six...

[deflective]

both set down this and is this a horror story? have been eliminated now.  these are another two stories that i wish came head-to-head at some point.  they had a lot of similarities, both works were almost plotless and focused on exposing the reader to the reality of horror instead of creating something new.  is this a horror story? was a lot shorter tho.

I love Jim Biyeh's stuff.  The Nimble Men was good, but there wasn't really much to the story, I felt... two guys step out of their plane, stand around, and freak out.

[Bdoomed]

Okay crap what's the actual score now?  There are three different numbers

[eytanz]

Follow the score from the post above yours; it's the final one (Deflective's one also includes the daily -1 to the lowest scorers).

Also, you voted -1 for acceptable losses but your post was about the nimble men. Which one did you mean?

[Bdoomed]

Yeah I saw that.  Fix'd.  When I first copied a list, Nimble Men was where Acceptable Losses was.  So when I changed it, I put the -1 in the same place

[+1] The Nimble Men
[-1] Her Collection of Intimacy

Voting for my favorite now, because it deserves to be in the lead.
