He tried to buy a snowcone off a local street vendor but couldn't get exact change, so he realized Arachnos had been right all along.
- not a story post, but a question. If I'm reading this right, this contest only rewards the final post, so what incentive is there to post a sentence any time besides waiting until 5 Pacific to try and get the last post in. And with everyone trying to get a post in at the last second, the story won't make any sense because the last-second posts will all be going off the last non-last-second post. I think it would make more sense to award it randomly to any person that contributed to the story (equal chances per person, not per post). That way everyone gets an equal shot, and there's more incentive to add to the story before the last-second.

Hello everyone!
Unfortunately, there were not enough posts in the thread for a winner to be chosen. Please remember that 50 posts are necessary in order for the final poster to be eligible for a prize. Please remember that you can each post three (3) times, so you can use your first two posts to advance the story, and save your third post in order to compete for the final post!
We look forward to seeing you again next week for the Tell a Story contest!

Is some really cool time travel stuff. Where do I get some of that action? | 5:00PM Pacific Time (7:00 PM Eastern Time / 1AM GMT / 2:00 Central European Time) |
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Unless they want to reward two prizes for this contest, one for the best contribution and one for being the last poster. Otherwise, the contest requires heavily on contributing late and penalizing you for contributing early - - but if no one contributes early, there is no prize.
I'm kind of curious to see this succeeds, actually.

I wonder if this might help: rewarding the prize to the last person with *three* posts in the thread, if there is one. Encourage people to post more than once- but maybe disallow replying to yourself?
Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.
