2016 Run-off Round 1: Vote here, vote now!

[Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf]

Polling closes at 11:59pm Eastern on Saturday, April 30.

This is a run-off poll, where our general membership (that's you!) chooses which sim, from Set 1 of 2016 (Rounds 1-6), should proceed to the final round of the contest for a chance to be selected as the Top Sim of 2016! These sims below were chosen by a panel of judges (one from each ship) from the sims submitted in Rounds 1-6 of the contest.

TO START, please read these sims:

• Round 1: Alora DeVeau & Lobo, "Unlikely Fellows"
• Round 2: Renos & Traenor, "Point of View/Pain of View."
• Round 3: Didrik Stennes, "A different calling”
• Round 4: Akeelah D'Sena & Tabitha Gard, "Sleepover"
• Round 5: Merrick R'Ven, "Past Goodbyes"
• Round 6: Safine Tan, "The Room Where I Died"

NEXT, using the poll above, vote for the sim you like the most. It should be the sim that's the best written, with strong characterization, and evocative or descriptive scene-setting.

DON'T vote for a sim just because you serve on the same crew as the person who wrote it. Any crew that "stuffs the ballot" (by having everyone on the crew vote for the same sim to ensure that it wins this poll) will be eliminated from the contest and shamed by the rest of the community as terrible, terrible cheaters. That would be awful.

Good luck to the nominees!

Congratulations -- this sim will head to the final run-off round of the year!
