Don't worry; you aren't the only one.

(I can lose track of time while I'm looking at a clock. )

Due to far too many things going on with both my boyfriend's and my own busy lives I'm dropping out of this contest. I'll be watching and rooting though! It was fun .

No need to finish judging my first round entry, it would not change anything about the final score. As I see I am on last place of all people who finished all rounds.

aba, this is the first time I have ever done this well, so I do understand how you feel.

(((HUGS)))

I do like your entries.

Chibspan, We will miss you.

Edit for Aba: with Chibspan dropping out, your first round remainder and the bonus round you did might bump you up a place. Depending on the scores.

Okay. While we wait for bonus round scores, here's round four:
++++++++++
Basically, in round four you'll be creating the next generation. The next generation of what? That's up to you. Pick any round (including the bonus round and application) and tell the story of the generation that came after them. Let's hear about Allen Price's first son, or Sim #2's adopted daughter. Let's hear about the barren birth of "Bl"'s wife, or anything else that comes to mind. Here's the deal though: No words.
The only text in your entry may be the names of the people in the photographs, plus minimum explanation. For example:

The man in the military uniform is Uncle Joel, and the two teens are my older siblings, Seth and Cora; this was at Uncle Joel's birthday party back in 1972.
That's it. You may use the title bar. But that's it. Minimum of five pictures required, maximum of one sentence per picture. The rest, you know the drill. This round will also be judged differently:
Sim creativity /15
Photos /10
How the pictures tell the story /25
Total: /50

Aba, don't be disheartened, top four is still a good place. It's higher than I have ever gotten.

Here are the scores as they stand now, plain and simple:

Ghost: 640
clw8: 622
Happyasabunny: 572
aba23: 538
Nayanrose: 486.5
Jaliban12345: 309.5
Dreamydre15: 151
Happybunny: 128

As of now, the four toppies are Aba, Happyasa, Clw8, and Ghost. Aba, you will notice that your score is bumped up; i finally just added the score for your missing round. I think that settles everything. Wow, I can't believe from 14 contestants we're down to eight! And six that have participated past app round...
Oh well.

don't worry jewaukeela - the entire contest area has actually suffered from the merge. but, atleast you have a few contestants still completing the contest

Yeah, and I have a great idea for my next contest, but unfortunately it'll be on hold until after camp. Anyway, have fun with the last round!

I might be dissapointed by times but that does not mean that I do not have fun in contests. Self criticism is not a bad thing somtimes...however with all the merger and downtimes of the forum and my tardiness with round1, this contest was a bit confusing at times.

But I am looking forward to your next contest.
Now let me see what I can do with the freedom of round four...

Looking at my scoring, my pictures are my weakest area. Telling a story with just pictures is going to be an interesting challenge.

That's the spirit! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Just read the rules for round for again and I liked how you put this together. Especially this part quoted above, I love it

It is really difficult to do...let the picture carry the story...not easy...I could not make something good up...until now

Yep, four more days to get those entries in.

I've decided to stop second guessing my pictures, especially as my game has decided to have thunderstorms every time one of my sims goes outside. Are these captions alright, or do I need to re-write them?

Valeria: feminine of Valerius; meaning Strong, and name of numerous saints and martyrs
Alvar: elf army or elf warrior, from alfr (elf) and arr (warrior)







Valeria has my eyes and my nose, but where did that black hair come from?





The Shadowking's minions held my daughter hostage





Until Mystislav found out where they were.





Alvar was also a captive.





Fate works in mysterious ways




Only my daughter would continue with an outdoor wedding in a thunderstorm.





So that's where the red hair went!

Your captions are great, Ghost! :D

Oh, that's sweet!

When is the round ending?

June 7th as far as the time schedule on the first page says

Yes, but that would be today. And if she is in the eastern time zone, June 7 ends in about 3 hours. But the title still says 3 days for Round 4.

I was wondering if she is giving people more time to get entries in. We still need to see ones from Happyasabunny, NyanRose, Jaliban, Dreamydre, and Happybunny.

(Although if Happyasabunny doesn't get an entry in, you will have jumped into third place. You might manage to get up to third even if Happyasabunny does get an entry in, simply on that 4th round entry and the fact that you did a bonus round. You did a good job.)

yeah, but unless someone gets one in in the next hour, it's a no-no. PMing the judges now.

Sent my scores in lovelys

I've been walking into walls for the past week because I thought I was dreaming, so I didn't need to bother with doors.

This is the first time I have ever gone into the final round of a contest doing this well. I'm usually in Aba's situation. So I'm excited to see how I did, but I'm even more excited to see how he did.

Waiting is going to be the hardest part.
