So glad to have you with us. My door is always open if you ever need anything.

This is it, the final round of voting for 2013's Top Sim. The winner of this vote will be considered the Top Sim of 2013 -- one of the most highly coveted writing awards in our community. Voting closes automatically at 23:59 Eastern Time on Sunday, December 29, 2013. Please read all three sims before choosing the one you like the best in the poll above. These sims were submitted by members of the community. A panel of judges which consisted of one judge from each ship voted on the best sim from each round. Then, the best sims from each set were culled in run-off rounds. Run-off Round 2 had a tie between two sims, and so both of those sims are now in the running during this final round. Your choice will be public, so that we can ensure that one ship's crew is not "stuffing the ballot box." If we find that any one crew is trying to force someone from their crew to be the winner, that sim will be disqualified and the ship will be ineligible to participate in the contest for all of 2014. Similarly, if anyone is found coercing members of their crew to vote for them, or a sim on their ship, that sim will be disqualified -- before, or after the vote. That does not mean that you can't vote for a sim that was originally simmed on your vessel. You just shouldn't vote for a sim from your ship simply because it's by your crew-mate. Instead, choose the sim that you believe is the best written, most engaging, and embodies the principles of good simming that this community values. For a vote to win the final round, at least 10% of its votes must come from a ship other than the one the sim was created on. LIST OF SIMS – please read all before voting: Hannibal Parker, "Revelations & Invitations"Tal Tel-ar & PNPC Sherana, "Sparring Match"Katy Orman, "Clashing"Greir Reinard & PNPC Chen, "Come Hell And High Water"Tal Tel-ar & PNPC Sherana, "I will remember you"

Run-off Round 4 winner: Tal Tel-ar & PNPC Sherana, "I will remember you".

Polling closes at 11:59pm Eastern on Sunday, December 1st. This is a run-off poll, where our general membership will choose from the top sims of Rounds 19-24 to find the best sim that will proceed to the final round of the contest. Please read the sims below, which were chosen by a panel of judges (one from each ship) to find the best sims from each round of Set 4: Tal Tel-ar & PNPC Sherana, "I will remember you"Saveron, "The Quick And The Dead"Cade Whitman (PNPC), "Don't Mess with Texas"Rogg, "Finis"Sorel, "Addiction"Tracey Townson, "For The Love Of A Child"If any crew is found "stuffing the ballot" – having everyone on the crew vote for the same sim to ensure it proceeds to the final round – that crew will be eliminated from the contest for the remainder of the year. Good luck to the nominees!

There's no rule against it, but the idea is to make something fresh rather than recycle. However, I suppose if you wanted to use a sim as inspiration, there's nothing with that (assuming it's yours, of course).
