That makes my theory about the Russians possibly taking over the world in the next 20 years. Anyone who using small animals as high-yield explosive devices should be crowned Emperor of the World. Or, even better, God.

So today I threw a grenade at a crowded group of enemies. One of the soldiers who was hit flew threw the air, hit his one of his comrades, knocked him to the ground, and died. I have never seen anything so glorious ever before in my life.

I flaked, actually. Partially because we celebrated my daughter's birthday last night, and I was down, and I had to pound my wife's Egyptian forces into the ground

Well, here's to hoping I was the only one.  Instead of coming up with something new, I pulled out the outline of a historical novel I was working on two and ahalf years ago.  I was amazed at how much it sucks.  It's very unimaginative and derivative, and if anyone else entered, I'm sure I would lose.

I wrote mine up, but my computer crashed when I tried to save it.  I had school the next day so I decided I would just go over to onion's house and play his copy whenever I wanted too as compared to not being able to get up the next morning...

No. There will be no coming to my house and playing any of my games. So there. HA!

You know that is an incorrect statement.  I demand you take it back or I will smite you in several spontanious duels.  And start checking your friggin' inbox.

For those interested, the winner of the Silent Storm contest was...House of Mustard! Don't cry nepotism: he won because he was the only entrant. Here I am giving out free games and only one guy can get off his duff and ask for it. You've got another shot with Spellforce, so I expect a lot of entries. Go team!

probaly the main reason you only got one entrie is that the contest was very unfriendly to the casual browser/viewer, and so is this current one.  You might get more submissions this time becasue the topic isn't as strange and time consumeing, but still you're asking people to spend a few hours doing something to qualify for the contest.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Wah wah. We're giving out a $50 game here, I think a few hours of works is hardly out of the question. I admit that the last contest was a little wacky, but webcomic reviews? Anyone can do that.

eh, I think that defeats the point of contests, which is to draw attentoin to the site.  The most work I've ever seen a videogame website require for people to enter a contenst is to fill out a survey. I do think most people (ie the ones that come to the site, but don;t hang around in the forum) will be turned off by it.  But it's your site and you can do what you want.  But might I suggest you actualy require the reviews be of a comic not in our database and be a certain length.  How the rules are now I can write one that's 10 sentences long and be entered into the contest.  You should also say how the winner will be determined (ie randomly, voted on ect).  For one thing it help us in the event a staff member wins and other people had entered loose then cry foul.  and second you know what you, as the contest supervisor, is expecting from the entries.

well, he did recommmend either following the established format or to cover the basics really well. He did also already state the criteria: completeness, insightfulness, and entertaining value.
