We're underway folks.
After a few bumps in the road, titles are up and running.
For those of you who haven't been checking in to the reviews on the last post:
If you haven't checked your title, do it now. If you are a contestant and can't see your title let me know ASAP so I can get it fixed.
Remember, you have until noon EST, next Tuesday to submit your entry for round 1!
Bigmike! We still haven't heard from you. Are you in this thing or no?
Everyone else. I love you with the passion of a happy retard on Christmas morning.
That's right, I am a special special boy.
Here is the revised Matchup graphic...thing... picture...thing for round 1.

Pretty soon it won't matter what you type, all roads will lead to Bart...

Regarding the Amish school shooting...
The gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, a 32-year-old truck driver from the nearby town of Bart, was bent on killing young girls as a way of "acting out in revenge for something that happened 20 years ago" when he was a boy, Miller said.

Of course, there may be a bout with a closer margin to his than mine was, so it will depend on how many matchups up we were in the margin-ordered list.

The winner of the bout with the closest margin to mine is Jack McCallum.

@Jpeg
Since I would probably be facing Stevie, you'd probably go against who he beat, in this case Donovan.
Our match-up had a 34 vote difference, theirs had 33.

A story should draw you in and get you into the author's world. Every fuckup makes that task harder and pulls me out of that world a little bit. If the story is good enough, it doesn't make a difference, but if I'm having a hard time getting into it, it can be a fatal distraction.

If a story really grabs me, I can ignore all the little errors. However, if it's a weak story, I'll just get tired of mentally correcting what's there. I know my shit is filled with utter garbage but I try to make up for it by having a strong story.

If the story is good enough, it doesn't make a difference, but if I'm having a hard time getting into it, it can be a fatal distraction. Especially in a situation where I have to pick one story over another. I try to pick based on the total package... the ideal story gets both an intellectual response ("clever idea"), an emotional one ("the author really made me care when the character was nasally tentacle-raped by demons"), and a technical one ("damn well presented"). If you're faced with two tales that hit the first two roughly equally, then the role of spelling and grammar get magnified. Usually they're not the deciding factor, because the great storytellers more often than not make a strong effort to get the techincal fiddly bits right.

Yeah Bubba, when I saw I was up against Jack in round one, I cried a little. And thanks for the kind words.
I was in too big of a hurry to post my entry and I failed to properly prepare it. You're absolutely right about using all my resources. Like I said, I'm just glad that you actually pointed out some of my mistakes, because up until that point, I wasn't entirely sure what the complaining voters were talking about. Like the "past/passed" thing - I never would have even thought about that!

I want to thank you for actually taking the time to point out 3 of my more stupid mistakes in my entry against Jack for the title "Flawed." I don't have a Grammar Check on Apple Works, and you totally proved to me I need to up my game for the next round. While Jack and I had a pretty close race, I really do believe it was due to errors like those you mentioned that cost me the win.
__________________________
Dude, I wasn't trying to be rude (HEY! I'm a fuckin' poet!).
Spell/grammar checkers won't catch things like that. "duel" "lead" and "past" are real words, and grammar checkers are not sophisticated enough to catch those errors.
You suggested having your brother check your next entry, and that may be a good idea. Not that you fuck up all the time, that's not what I mean. I enjoy your stories a lot. Just use everything at your disposal to come out on top. McCallum is awesome at what he does, and I think you will agree with that assessment. I sure as fuck wouldn't want to go against either of you, as I would get my ass handed to me.

I didn't like my title, Genocide.
If I'd had the title Permanent Ban, I'd have written a story about the goatse man using his anal talents to smuggle cocaine into the United States. That, or I'd write a mock Reader's Digest interview about "the man behind the scrotum."

Loki, I know exactly how you feel...
People kept commenting that my tale was a rip off of "Amittyville Horror." Why, just beacuse it was a haunted house story without any proper spooks? People actually called Jack's a "Jurrassic Park wanna-be." Hell, some folks even went after that entry for "Genocide" that delt with the Hitler transmission. They said it was too much like Carl Sagan's "Contact." The problem is... that's a factual element!!! It is a widely believe theory that since Hitler's speach was the first world-wide broadcast, the chances of it being the first communication that any aliens would receive are pretty good. It was two years before Churchill did a similar thing.
I'm not sure what these voters are looking for. No matter what, someone is gonna find something they think is based on some other bit.

Many writers, including Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Stephen King have stated that there are only about five basic stories, and everything is one of those in one form or another. Humans are very similar in many respects, so it is no surprise to find that two people may write similar things.
Uberers don't seem to read posts for enjoyment. Rather, they look for something they think is wrong, and, as always, they will find it.

Loki, I know exactly how you feel...
People kept commenting that my tale was a rip off of "Amittyville Horror." Why, just beacuse it was a haunted house story without any proper spooks? People actually called Jack's a "Jurrassic Park wanna-be." Hell, some folks even went after that entry for "Genocide" that delt with the Hitler transmission. They said it was too much like Carl Sagan's "Contact." The problem is... that's a factual element!!! It is a widely believe theory that since Hitler's speach was the first world-wide broadcast, the chances of it being the first communication that any aliens would receive are pretty good. It was two years before Churchill did a similar thing.
I'm not sure what these voters are looking for. No matter what, someone is gonna find something they think is based on some other bit.

at least I didn't lose by my own vote
congrats ghola
and just so you assholes know, I have no idea what this quiz show movie everyone is going on and on about is
I got this idea from hearing an interview with that Jeopardy freak whatverhisname is Ken something who won all that money and then wrote a book. He said in the interview that people ask him all the time if they tell the contestants ahead of time what the questions are going to be.

Well, I believe you. You don't have a history of excessiv ebullshitting. Not on Uber, anyhow. Sorry I was so harsh before.
=====
not a thing Jack
A lot of people said that so it's not like you were the only one. I just found it a tad bit frustrating and I don't know what to do about it. I 'suppose I should have typed "game show cheat" into google to see if there have been any books, movies, television plots, etc etc etc ever written on the subject in the history of man so as not to stray into known territory.
That being said, had I realized this plot line had been **done** before I would have taken it a different direction.
but (note intentionally irritating formatting)
I'm a big girl and can certainly take a hit, I rather liked ghola's entry and lost fair and square. Onward to round two it would seem.

Our Jack McCallum review for "Under the Stars":
Submitted by Jack_McCallum (user info) at 2006-09-27 16:11:45 (#)
Ranking: 0
I'm voting for Author #1 because I felt both stories were equally good, but #2 had WAY too much unnecessary detail before getting to the punch. Knowing every item on the restaurant menu only delayed moving the story along. Sorry, #2.
You know, it's funny how I think sometimes. As in most everything I write, I feel that certain aspects of description set the mood. I like the reader to see the story, thus the descriptive rambling. Let's take the dinner for example. In that particular part, I have given Uber way too much credit for deciphering what exactly it is I was trying to say.
This was an expensive dinner meant to show that money was no object compared to the love of a lost daughter. My character wasn't as sad as he was reminiscent. That bottle of wine goes for about a one hundred and seventy dollars in a fine dining establishment and it was there for that exact reason. My character didn't care about the money, he cared about the memories. I think a good tale elicits emotion from the reader whether that emotion is sadness, exhuberance, or disgust.
Anyhoo, I do like the fact that Jack gives honest reviews and good criticism. I'm sorry that the piece was too descriptive for you Jack, but you will agree with me when I say that it is the little things that make for a good story.
To those of you that voted on our matchup, I say thank you for reading with interest and giving your feedback whether it was just a rating or a paragraph of opinion.

Stagger...
I was harsh on a lot of reviews. With some it is because the stories were pure undiluted shit. With yours, in all honestly, you easily had the potential to win, but it wasn't realized, and that was frustrating. There were one or two other entries like that, ones that came SO close and didn't deliver, for me, anyhow.
I hope that makes you see where I'm coming from. I should have said that from the get-go.

Okay. Entry 1 was written better than entry 2. But I went with #2.
Author #1 is too much in love with his thesaurus. It was over-written, and there were a lot of things that bugged me, including the unresolved ending. The girl wakes up and sees a guy with hanging, leathery pock-marked skin and hardly reacts?
Author #2 needs to pay very careful attention to proofing and checking the layout in the preview mode. Otherwise, while a bit corny, it was more of a story and not a purple vignette that leaves us wondering wtf just happened.

Thanks, Manda. Apparently, you are one of the few who read for content rather than bullshit like the format.

it's a bit annoying, but the reason i'd point it out is because it makes you easily recognizable.
as awful a human being as you are, you probably don't want everyone to know immediately which entry is yours.

No need to state which entry was mine. Maybe I fucked up by changing the character's name,
but the biggest complaint was about the formatting. Fine. I'll switch to paragraphs with
more than one idea, just to make everything uniform.
People get on my shit for being a grammar Nazi, so perhaps I should get on your shit for
being a format Nazi. Hmmmm???
One-sentence paragraphs beat the living shit out of using the wrong word or misspelling
most of the text. Sorry, that shit pisses me off.
---------
no that's not what everyone was talking. it's that they were cut off at the right much shorter. you must not have been using word. yours are always like that.
_____________
OK, I see your point. Maybe, in the future, I will discontinue the practice of cutting off things on the right side of the page. Cutting things off on the right side of the page is a travesty, and far be it from me to be responsible for a travesty. Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, I will post something that goes all the way to the right side, thus causing those of you with smaller monitors to HAVE TO SCROLL!!! See my fucking point? If formatting is of such fucking importance to all of you, fine. I vill follow orders, Mein Fuhrer. . .

Note to Snark:
From what I can gather the general consensus heralds this as the best of all the UM tournaments. Personally, having witnessed (now) 3 of them, I hastily agree. There was only one forfeit in the first round, no "Paid in Full" (although I am willing to admit this is as much a minus as it is a plus) and I have noticed very little drama/bitching on any of the posts I managed to review. Also, the matches were almost ALL pretty tight, and this just made the whole thing better.
I have enjoyed this tournament far more that the others already, so allow me to say, with complete sincerity: THANK YOU SNARK.
(and the judges too, I suppose.)

Author #2, it's a shame you put so much effort into your entry, since you would have crushed a weaker opponent. I thought it was okay, but this kind of fantasy stuff has been done a LOT, and I just didn't have any investment in the characters. Good effort, though.
