Sound, I've been moving since Thursday so I'm a little behind. Story is pretty much done, just moving some shit around and getting rid of dumb stuff because it is kind of all over the place at the moment. I will try to get it up tonight or tomorrow if that's cool.

Wow. Look at all this battling that's been going on. I'm impressed! You guys all seem full of fight. You seem ready for action.
Just a brief word for those of you who haven't battled recently:
You should. Just pick a fight with somebody. Do it soon.
Think of it as a warm-up.

Just throwing this out here. Richard dropped out on J.Y. and Wildman dropped out on Sound. I know it was two different props so lets give them both a victory. And for shits and giggles I'll figure out how to set up a poll and we can pit those two awsome shorts against each other. If you guys both agree I'll make the poll.

If Sound wants to, it's okay with me.
Mine's posted already, so he could conceivably screen it before giving the go-ahead.
Plus the mismatched prompts.
Meh. Whatever. No big either way.

Don't get me wrong guys. I still would love to see a Utah vs. Sound battle start immediately. I’m just suggesting putting a poll up for “Petra” vs. “Extraction” this wouldn’t have to delay a new battle since they are both posted already. We can just throw up that poll and beg everyone to vote for whichever story they hated least.
