Christina/Infinger
Story- 8/7
You both did an excellent job. Christina gets the edge because her conclusion felt more like a conclusion, whereas Inkfinger’s simple did not.
Continuity- 8/8-
Both of you did well with keeping up with your characters motivation for being in the tournament. I really liked both character’s quirks, such as Christina reflection back on her childhood memories at the zoo, or Cael’s heavy reliance on his papers.
Setting- 6/7-
The zoo was a good setting and you both did well describing it. Inkfinger gets the extra point because Cael used the setting a bit more in each post than Christina.
Creativity- 7/8
I enjoyed the creative ways both of you used your skills, but with Cael losing his primary ways of attacking, he gets the extra point for finding ways to use what he had left.
Character- 8/6
Christina showed far more character in this thread than Inkfinger did. Every time she tapped into her emotions I truly felt her plight, whereas with Cael I didn’t see much in terms of internal reflection.
Interaction- 7/7
You both used your setting and dialogue quite well. Whenever Cael threw something at Christina, she found a way to make it work for her character and vise versa, as such I cannot justify giving anyone an advantage here.
Strategy 6/7
Christina was more reactionary in this thread. Cael mentally, physically, and verbally tried to take down Christina, which gave Inkfinger the lead.
Mechanics 10/10
I was on the fence with Inkfinger’s whole paragraph dedicated to It, but after replacing It with someone else’s name it all made sense though it was awkwardly phrased. I believe I saw one mistake from each of you, not enough to take any points away.
Clarity 8/7
All of Christina’s attacks were easier to envision and the descriptions left an image in my mind. Inkfinger takes a hit due to the awkward phrasing with It and a couple of re-reads to understand exactly what happened to Cael’s papers in the water.
Wildcard 6/6
It would have been a seven for both of you, but you each missed a deadline. All in all, this was one of my favorite threads from round two.
74/73
I will calculate experience and gp when I am back home tonight. Christina wins and both players advance to round 3.
