Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Please use this thread for any general discussion or questions about the Top Sims Contest.Do not post praise or criticism for submitted sims in this thread. Instead, post those praise or criticisms in the submitted sim's own thread.
+ LtCmdr Alexander Richards Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Interesting new system. Hopefully it achieves it's goal of getting more people involved in the contest
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 "Tallis and Parker - Showdown" has bee disqualified due to open tags. Please see the note on the thread on how to resubmit.
Sedrin Belasi Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Drats! The forums seem to have posted two copies of my Top Sim nomination for Lt. taJoot's Bent out of shape... can some kind moderator please do the needful? Much abliged.
+ Johanna MacLaren Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 If I recall correctly, one of the criteria for a top sim is a balance between dialog and narrative. Is that correct? Would a lack of dialog then disqualify a sim?
Liam Frost Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Not in and of itself.It might affect the way some judges rank it, but that's at the discretion of the judges.
Lt. Cmdr. Katy Orman Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Is it alright to aggregate a sim before submission? I guess this is actually two questions:1. Is it alright to submit a sim as a single entry, that was initially posted in several pieces (assuming they all were posted in the relevant timeframe?)and,2. Is it alright to submit a sim that was posted with open tags, but filling in the tags with the responses that were posted in a different post?
Liam Frost Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) 1. If it was originally intended to be written as a single source sim (either by one writer or as a JP) and was split into parts for reasons such as length (separating it into parts to make it easier for the reader, for example), it is alright to submit them as one sim. If I've misunderstood what your asking, please correct me. 2. Not only permitted, but encouraged. Edited May 20, 2013 by Liam Frost

I did a single narrative in three parts, posted several days apart, each one picking up where the last one left off, labeled parts 1, 2, and 3. I like them enough to overcome my aversion to vanity and submit them, but they work better as a single sim rather than as 3 separate ones. Not to mention it would be weird to have them competing against each other. So what I'm asking is, is it alright to submit them as one?
Liam Frost Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Based on the fact that they were all written by you, and assuming they're meant to be read more or less together, I would say yes.
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted December 15, 2013 Author Posted December 15, 2013 The Top Sim of 2013 vote is still wide-open, with only about 21% of the fleet having voted so far. Be sure to vote ASAP for the sim you think deserves the title!
