Sorry I wasn't clear on that. You can vote publicly.

Tough choice but I will take #2.

I'll go with Number Two as well. Dunno why Venus is the Jungle Book, but I can dig it.

Venus is a tropical planet with jungles, dinosaurs and lizard men. Haven't you ever read any reputable astronomy books?

Dunno, guys. I think that Plot #1 adheres to the blurb theme better. I give it my vote.

That having been said, I loved the Jungle Book references in Plot #2.

They were both most worthy offerings, but the vote stays with Plot #1.

Yes, but I don't remember dinosaurs and lizard men in the Jungle Book - unless the Disney adaptation was for once less historically accurate than the source material.

The Jungle Book references started me thinking about the next set of story ideas I'll be giving you guys and I wrote a largely incoherent post because of this.

Anyways, I think we'll move on from historical figures in SF/fantasy situations to literary figures in the same situations. Huck and Jim; Mowgli and Baloo; Long John Silver; The Count of Monte Cristo; etc.

I for one, don't have time to study astronomy here in the jungles under the Antarctic mantle.....or sky for that matter.

I vote #1.

So far, it's a 2-2 tie (not counting Norym's vote). Wintremute will cast the deciding vote.

Drama Button


I tried to PM him to make sure he was aware it's time to vote, but his PM box is full. Apparently, minions of Dr. Doom are not given additional memory space for such things by their supposedly brilliant leader.

His donor status expired, and he is at GAMA today.

Would you like to hear a little song?

Goes something like this.......

I have returned from GAMA to cast a vote!

I vote for #2.

So Plot #2 wins. That means EmperorNorton wins the round and Space Jawa is knocked out of the competition. (Though he can still vote.)

Here's who is left:

Charlesx (1 win; 1 tie)

St Dumas (2 tie)

EmperorNorton (1 tie; 1 win)

Norym (2 win)

I'm about to leave work and am hosting a game night tonight, so it will be tomorrow before I select the next two players and post the story titles.
