QuoteBut I think that's all theoretical!

QuoteIn politic, you can vote for yourself, so why not here?

Well, I don't think this is theoretical at all! It is quite pragmatical: voting for yourself in "politics" is a symbolic act with no statistical relevance. Candidates vote for themselves just to assure the confidence in their campaigns. But in council decisions, voting for yourself is prohibited, for obvious reasons. In the case of this community, allowing the candidates to vote for themselves has a significant result: it gives some advantage to the proud ones, who always think they are best, and some disadvantage to the humble ones. I don't think voting for yourself should be encouraged in this case. Disallowing candidates to vote for themselves is a common measure to minimize this.

Another problem in this kind of competition is that people tend to vote because they like the author, not necessarily the work. Influential people, or people with more friends, will get better results.

I don't have enough patience for Hope. I rather just stop hoping and live as if those films will never exist.

Wow, thank you so much, Andail! This is the first useful feedback I have in years. It's the first time I try to write directly in English. I wrote short fictions before, but they are all in Portuguese, and they were all very experimental. Thank you for your help.

There was someone making a Gargoyles movie too? I mean, those from the cartoon?

I wish I had enough coordination to play platformers. I keep dying again and again. But the game is neat.

Wait, do you think that's the reason why I play adventure games?

Hey, Gribbler, that reminds me that there was a soccer adventure game before The Bum: Tiny Soccer Manager Stories.

Thank you all for those helpful tips. But I think my life is either bugged or designed as a merciless Sierra Game without Save & Load capabilities. I fear I'm stuck in a unwinnable state, with no possible restart. I have being reading this huge black leather covered guide for some time, and I think some of the most difficult puzzles may be just red herrings. And there is a LOT of red herrings in this one. Also, it is VERY choice & consequence based, so I cannot try everything on everything, absolutely not. Sometimes I feel like I was playing a rogue-like version of Alone in the Dark. How scary is that?

So you are right behind me?

My dear fellows, if Frodo starts talking about a new brilliant idea for a game, be sure of one thing: She was spying at my annotations.

Now, excuse me, I think she will probably backstab me.

Ponch seems to know a lot about that ring. Maybe he has a Palantir hidden somewhere?

Real life has some pretty unfair puzzles, doesn't it?

Just wanted to share this thought with you...
