The BrikWars Forums

My judging is complete.

Fyi, you forgot to actually include the [BF20] tag, but it's tagged in the top thread and I've already written this up so here goes! Dios Resurgent Concept and Theme: 10 - Hard to go wrong with what is effectively a "liberation day" story. Form: 9 - All moves forward nicely. Voice: 9 - Pretty simple...

Akhilleus and the Prince of Vasluxia Concept and Theme: 10 - Death of the crown prince is a pretty significant development worth telling. Form: 10 - It definitely kept moving. Voice: 7 - I liked the two opposite views, but it was a little confusing at first until I figured out that's what was going ...

Hell Raiser Concept and Theme: 6 - I'm docking on "Why it deserves to be told". Resurrection of a major character? Great. I'm just not a fan of space nazis existing, even if it's only to be slaughtered mercilessly. Form: 8 - Overall well formed. Voice: 9 - It's pretty Style: 18 - Overall pretty good...

Investigation of Object FI-219184 Concept and Theme: 9 - Very meta. Form: 10 - Keeps moving, I'm a huge sucker for "Something lurking in the dark of space picking us off one by one". Voice: 9 - Not much to complain about here. Style: 19 - Great cerebral engagement. Just goes to show you don't need t...

A Terma Story: Face to Face Concept and Theme: 9 - Quite the assassination. Form: 7 - Probably could have been a little shorter for what was in here. Voice: 7 - Main part I found awkward was early on there's a lot of stuff in brackets that breaks up the active thought. Style: 16 - The main problem f...

The Underworld Concept and Theme: 9 - Solid intro of a new "world" for chaos opportunities. Form: 9 - Covers a decent amount of small interactions, decent pace. Voice: 6 - The jumps were a bit awkwardly handled. Style: 17 - Felt a little inconsistent, but overall decent for the cerebral engagement. ...

I don't know whether I want to award bonus points or dock points for that opening line, it's just fantastic. So instead, I will ignore it completely so I don't have to think anymore. From A Place of Love Concept and Theme: 10 - Satirizing fandom is always a win in my books so easy points. Form: 8 - ...

The Evergreen Depths Concept and Theme: 9 - Hooray for major alliances. Form: 9 - Things flow pretty well. Voice: 10 - Very clear. Style: 18 - Definitely good cerebral engagement. Dealing with lovely snowbanks that get taller than me, can confirm, Winter is definitely worse at the start and then you...

Boris fell into bed, exhausted. He had finally officially been accepted as a Bard within the tribe, which naturally required partying way later than was reasonable. From the very first time he heard The Metal, it had taken hold of him, spoken to his very being. He had known from that day that he nee...

I've read them all but I also entered the contest myself so I think that kinda rules me out.

I mean, I'm planning to enter tomorrow as well. Though I'm pretty good at remaining unbiased other than for the things I gravitate more towards anyways. That's what the point of the alternate judge is.

Apparently my post volunteering as tribute for judging was devoured by vicious internet gremlins.

I can judge, hoping to myself enter near the deadline.

If you're fine with me taking a few days to do it, I can cover it. I'll try not to be super biased in favour of the one I was in

Go for it. Just make a post here when you are done.

And done.

Brik or Treat Battle Royale Gameplay - 5. Good contest, good killing. Everything felt properly unpredictable. Photography - 4 The dark shots actually work reasonably well here. Usually I'd be concerned about not really knowing what is going on but here it's both clear and adds nicely to the overall ...

Among Us Gameplay - 4. It was a pretty good adaptation of the game with enough changes to remind some people it was Brikwars instead. Photography - 3.5 Would have been nice to get full ship overviews at the end of each round in the final report. Violence - 3. A bit lacking, could have done horrible ...
