#3 - The Fury Wraith's The Judge's Halloween Party


- "I even managed to get his remains! *Shows dish*" Ha! :awesome:

- Liking the foreshadowed horror cliches.

- Yes, this is probably the funniest so far. And I like how Dracula's defeated - for after all, what is a man? A miserable pile of secrets!

- Kind of tough choosing between this one and Moltor's... but I think I'll go with this one. It makes me laugh more, and as well as this, is much more fitting to Halloween, which, yeah, gets it some bonus points. :awesome:

Bold = Played

Blue = Current Leader
  • Moltor, with his monstrous name!
  • Hold It!, who's ready to make you freeze in fear!
  • The Fury Wraith! (With a name like that, do I really need to give a scary description?)
  • Falco120, in all his frightfullness!
  • Mimi Mika, your fearsome ruler!
  • Wackyman and his fearful Starr Power!
  • Trybien and SuperGanondorf - the match made in Hell!
  • Paradoxinparticles, who's prepared to cause THE VERY FABRIC OF EXISTENCE TO IMPLODE INTO ITSELF!
  • The abominable Admiral Canuck!

By the way, Zeel, are you planning to let Dypo have a chance at this before it's over?

#4 - Falco120's Trick or Turnabout


- Ha, the way the argument was built up and began reminds me a lot of my own competition-winning trial... might earn you some bias points there. :awesome:

- As a matter of fact, a lot of it reminds me of TMITEH. The way two teams build up for each argument, and then the player chooses which side wins. And then there's the fact that you referenced it by name... :awesome:

- Liking all the evidence/profile descriptions - they're usually ignored in competition entries, even though they're really the perfect spots for random jokes.

- This is probably the most random one yet, which I'm all for.

- I do love all the needless dramatic shouting in the "Don't go trick-or-treating" ending. The other one isn't quite as strong.

- Wait. Now I see what you did! You crafted this in similar fashion to mine, because you knew that'd be my favored style of a competition entry! What a deliciously evil plot, you master manipulator you!

- Hmm, this is rather hard to judge. I mean, it's kind of a stylistic choice here - do I go with The Fury Wraith's more plot-based humor or this one's more over-the-top random humor? Hmmm..... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

...Battle Royale? No? Eh, in that case, I guess I'll just stick with Fury Wraith's. Loved this one, but that one sticks out as the most Halloween-esque entry so far, and well, this is a Halloween competition... :P

Well, I know he has atleast until I've finished judging all the completed entries. As far as another chance after that, well... it depends on how long it'll take him. Technically, it's already November 1st where I am, so I can't necessarily say that we can't go past the day of Halloween... :P I don't want to stretch it to Nov. 2nd, though. I hated how Meph just kept letting days go by to wait for people who we pretty much knew weren't going to be sending anything in. It seemed a tad inconsiderate, in regards to the next competition runner - of course, that's just because I had a more set deadline than he did... :P

I got what he meant though, in that it would be lame for them to do that work for nothing, so... if he can get it done quickly enough, I'd be willing to give him a shot.

#5 - Mii-sama's Trick o' Meat


- Well, creativity points for this story, though so far, (Up to the investigation of the Gant Room at this time.) it's not exactly Halloween-y. Huh... Firefox doesn't think that was a typo. Am I to take that to mean Halloween-y is in it's database...? Oh well...

- I must say, you do random humor quite well, Mii-sama. (=3)

- Of course Mii-sama is a bird. "What a fit bird she is!"

- The more you break the fourth wall the less funny it gets, y'know... :cute:

- It was a bit long, and the ending was rushed as you've mentioned, but I very much enjoyed this trial. Won't win out, but don't fret, dear - you're still our awesome ruler. :awesome:

#6 - Wackyman's Turnabout At My Doorstep


- Up to the court part now, and it's definitely winning on a humor level.

- "OH NOES THE JUDGE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PROFILE I'VE BROKEN THE RULES NEXT THING YOU KNOW I'LL BE SUMMONING A BUNCH OF MONSTERS IN ONE TURN." Looks like the rules... *Puts on sunglasses.* ...just got screwed. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

- Phoenix is kind of the ghost in AAI, isn't he? They pretty much allude to him as much as they possibly can without actually saying his name...

- Wait a minute, did you just dump a huge amount of needless evidence at the player, and asked them to choose one to see the ending? I believe there's a certain high-ranking Canadian that would like to have a word with you, good sir... :P

- ...So, was he really dead or not? THE WORLD WANTS TO KNOW!!! :awesome:

It's frightening how you can be SO creepy and SO romantic at the SAME TIME.

I'm either going to be smacked on the face so hard. Or just get yelled at. Or another option in between by Mimi Mika. XD

#7 - SuperGanondorf and Trybien's Haunted House Stories: The Two Mirrors


- Yeeeaaah... kind of struggling for things to say here.

- The concept was intriguing, but none of the plots really interested me.

- Got the normal ending... yeah, didn't really do much for me. Don't really want to play the whole thing again just to see the others, either...

#8 - Paradoxinparticles' The Curse of Samhain Night


- Well this one didn't take long to pique my curiosity...

- Definitely liking this so far - the first one to really get creepy.

- I find myself saving over and over at different spots and copying the URLs, just so I can see everything. That bodes well for you, I must say... :awesome:

- In hindsight, Iris' hidden psyche-lock kind of confuses me... was she lying or not?

- Okay, so the evidence reviewal loop is rather crippling. As much as I like this, I can't in all good conscience ignore that, I had to use avancement to get to the ending. That said, I read about it shortly after starting this trial, and decided then that I'd probably be using avancement once I got to that part, so...

- Gotta say, I was really into the emotion of this story, and was happy when it was all resolved. No matter how funny a comedy trial is, that's something they can't really replicate... or atleast, haven't in this competition. :P It's mainly due to this emotion that - while The Fury Wraith had a very good run - I'm confident in naming Parrie as the new leader~!
