So early on I was like "lol gonna kick butt even though I haven't reviewed extensively in forever."

And then I saw this.

And laughed borderline hysterically.

I love you, wifeymine, but I have a reputation to uphold! (or so I tell myself as I weep on the floor)
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

For every review I write, I'll send a gift to my opponent, just to be a good sport.

SCORE UPDATE

Notes: all scores are approximates and should only be taken as guides: if you think these numbers are wrong, remember to keep track of your reviews by saving the links!

After one day out of seven, how are our competitors faring?

Match 1

StellaThomas 0 - 5 Kyllorac

Kyllorac steals an early lead with a strong first day! It's still early days, but Kyllorac has certainly laid down a challenge for StellaThomas to respond to.


Match 2

Alteran 1 - 0 Lauren2010

A slow start to this encounter. Neither competitor has come leaping out the blocks, although Alteran just shades the first day with a solitary review.

Match 3

FermentingFruit 0 - 3 guineapiggirl

A decent first day from guineapiggirl gives them a 3 score advantage after one day of play. Will FermentingFruit respond tomorrow?

Match 4

Audy 7 - 3 ash211

Our highest scoring match thus far, Match 4 has seen some fireworks. Audy posted 7 reviews in one day, which is a huge effort, but ash211 has stayed focused against the onslaught, and has posted a commendable 3 reviews in response. This could be the match to watch in the coming days!

That's it! I just wanted to ask if I can take bets and then cheat everyone by sending my works secretly to the participants, and then send my people to collect what others owe me ^_^
Not that I ever would.

For now, you all have my support, people! Go do your best :mrgreen:

At first, I felt bad that I only did one daily score update.

Now I actually think it makes it vastly more exciting to have no real idea who's winning! No-one can get complacent and everyone must keep reviewing to give themselves a chance of victory.

I've been keeping a list of my reviews, will you want me to send that to you at the end?

I'm winning mine, BTW (We discussed scores earlier lol)

Mmmust keep eat--I mean reviewing.

Jack, Jack, Jack. I just got an idea :o Maybe it's easier to just keep track of the review numbers via leaderboards? Like, before the actual tournament begins - mark down the total number of reviews everyone has. That way, you only have to check it once at the end. I mean, we can still keep track of our reviews and all too, if that helps. But I think I've missed a few of mine x_x
  








I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
