At the beginning you said that you were not going to be biased for your character. The RP was carried out with what was "in your head" rather than any test of skill or luck. Your character wins. No one's going to believe that this was a fair and honest contest and participants are going to feel cheated. Even from a non-participant point of view, I don't see a point in having your own character in the race to begin with. In the end, it's another Tirah-shit-her-pants story.

Just lessons to learn if you plan on doing another one.

I agree. And I read a few of his stories. I don't know why he always writes about his characters shitting themselves. Nothing appealing about reading that.

A little off-topic from the story, but this is quickly becoming the most popular thread in the Stories subforum, at least in the amount of replies it's getting.

The final result looks like a copy paste. There are the same flaws in it. No offense.

I did basically just copy-paste everything together and make the transitions between zones work a bit better for a full story.

This is no surprise. RP threads are meant to get a lot of replies because, obviously, people are roleplaying. All the top threads are community-based.

I think we forgot something... So I give my silver medal to the robot.

Also, when I was reading the results, I felt I wasn't in control of my character. And that is not acceptable.

And also I wasn't alone. Heres a few examples that happened:

Loves deep sinking, the deeper the better. Would like to enter, just to see how deep I can sink, and maybe rescue some DID :lol:

You did not provide the gender, age, or outfit, so I'm going to assume female, 18, and nude except for hip waders.

Oh I'll find a way (I really won't be happy if I can't - as in won't get the chance to try anything). Trust me, you aren't going to stay down there forever. And if I am 100% confirmed dead, I should have forfeited and spectated. But woulda coulda shoulda is bullshit and is completely unacceptable to me.

Your life jacket nearly worked, but there was a leak in it that you were not aware of.

Just more stuff for me to consider next time, now that the race is over.

I feel the same way. I didn't get the option to look where I was going. And I have never considered that my character (Bumblebee) would run out of battery.

The thought of this beauty getting involved in this situation is sad.
