House Pictor in the lead, current Debrief Victors...

House Pictor is fairly bad a** just in general. Not only do they have the highest share rate, but they also have the coolest flag. Ukraine colors with a splash of Maritime. Solid stuff. LOL

From seeing past Debriefs, expect a lot more shares after the initial reveal. Although this reveal is not as drawn out, so we shouldn't see as much of an increase as the other Battles, but I would expect a little more people to share after Wednesday (tomorrow).

If you're wondering why the reveal was in two short bursts rather than a slow trickle over a week, this was for two reasons:
  1. Time. All of this coding is on-the-fly. I'm in perpetual "catch-up" and have to code my butt off just to meet these deadlines. Future Battles will not be like this, and we can play around with this reveal a bit more. For the record, none of the front-end code has been completed for the reveal at the time I'm positing this. That's this afternoon/evening/tomorrow early morning.
  2. Some folks expressed to me that they didn't like how drawn out the reveal was in past Battles, so I think this is a good experiment.
Crossing my fingers that I don't accidently reveal everything prematurely... Confused

Max, you're a rock star!

I feel like a week to read debriefs before the Swiss reveal was just enough time. Ok, to be fair, it has felt a bit like torture... but still, it's nice to be able to read and engage with folks through debrief and make guesses. And releasing the results of all rounds in one day sounds like it will be a lot of fun! 

I am very glad we do not have to wait another entire week for final results. Three days seems like enough time to read more of the final stories we missed before winner announcements. 

Please don't stretch any of this out and make us wait longer next time. haha!

The layout of the forums here is so... 1990's. There's no intelligence built into it and you can't easily find anyone else in your group unless you use the search feature. They already have the master list that they publish so it's not like they don't have any idea who is in what group and what the genre is.

Just a request, it would be really lovely if there was some indication that I had already left a comment on a story! I keep clicking through and being like "I'm sure I've read this, did I comment when I read it or did I read it in the early hours of the morning and couldn't coordinate my brain enough to actually say anything that would make sense". Even just a little tick would be great for my brain!

I understand though it may not be as easy as that, so totally fine if it can't be implemented!

Also so many people are commenting that my story is quite smutty, which I didn't realise! I guess fanfic has really desensitised me :P

Hi SZ (and lampoon housemate),

I concur that it would be great to know which ones I commented on already but that sounds difficult to program. I wish I'd kept a running list of all the stories I read/reviewed. Next time.

BTW, I also have a blue humor content warning on my story. I wonder if anyone judged our stories head to head?! Plus we have "All Hands on Dick" in our house, so there is more smut to go around! Ha!

Military lampoon is a surprisingly easy genre for it, it seems! LOL

I think we should consider forming an all-girl military lampoon inappropriate content gang. Who’s with me?
