I mean, I'm not conceding, I have 24 hours to make a slew of double-logins and try to tip the vote.

But, from the numbers I'm looking at it seems to me that I might just have to buy you a book this weekend.

Well, if the voting trend continues as it has and you wind up owing me a book, at least you can build up some violent angst to take out on your WAR matchup next week.

Yeah, I do thrive on angst.

But it was just a joke man, I'm not upset.

I'm not upset.

I'm not upset.

GODDAMMIT I'm not upset.

I hit a guy on the hand with a hammer yesterday. It was cool. It felt like that scene in Drive, in the strip club.

I think Nick got the "Good Sport" gene.  Either that or, more likely, he's getting good and juiced up for tournament writing.

Honestly, I haven't thought much about the War, I've been working on some other stuff and trying to accrue workshop points lately.

But I haven't forgotten. I know it's coming.

Besides which, I only really care about one contest.

@avery, I want my #5 spot back.

@Nick - Hahahahaha!  I've been sort of slacking lately so you might get it.  But then, now that I know it's a competition, I might try harder.

Oh, it's too late now, I think I have 2 reviews still out waiting for points but what I really want to do is review your battle story and force you to give me the points.

I made cowboywerewolf give me the points to push me out of #7 and over his #6 claim, in fact, the whole reason I find it funny is because me and cowboy went through a point where we were neck and neck and trading off position based on who had reviewed the other's story last.

But, that's the only way to do it, sieze the position and make them give you the points to do it.

That is hilarious.  I feel so dumb, I had no idea I was engaged in an art of war type thing. 

I'll sneak back in there, when you least expect it!
