DESOLATION QUEST 2018 ROUND ONE DRAW, NEWS and COMMENTS

[Spoon of Ploff]

This is what you asked for. This is what you got.



First again yes the rules:

1. Each match will consist of two shots per player, except the final in which there are three shots per player.
2. Each round will have an opening theme supplied by the Administrator
3. There will be no limit on the word count of each shot, but each shot must contain one desolation only.
4. The player with the opening shot (i.e. the server) must link their desolation to the given theme for that round.  All subsequent shots can contain an element of the previous shot, or refer back to the given theme for that round.
5. Voting will take place by posting the name of your favourite in the game thread immediately after play has ended (i.e. when the 4th desolation of each match has been posted).  The voting will last for 48 hours.

And a reminder of time permitted:  You have 48 hours to post your desolation from when the round starts or from when the last shot has been posted. Keep a look out on your game for when your opponent posts their shot, as it's from that time that the 48 hours start. If you're feeling sporting, PM your opponent when you've played your shot.

No word limit is to allow everyone to play to their strengths, but keep in mind that a variety of shots may count in your favour come vote time (and lessen your opponent's ability to predict your play).

Second then the theme word for Round One is "forgotten"

[PlanktonSideburns]

Fierce openers so far

[Ferris]

No way will I beat pancs. This is a setup.

Edit: right I've had a go, no one can say I haven't.

[Ferris]

Decent start for you and all.

I look forward to being crushed by you in the final.

[BlodwynPig]

I look forward to being crushed by you in the final.

There are greyer, more forlorn beasts to be slain first.

[seepage]

splurted out my first go

[Noonling]

I swear I meant to do a short and snappy one, but sadly I failed. Still, I did it and didn't forget about it.

[Bazooka]

I've got a fever, go easy on me.

[PlanktonSideburns]

I have returned, if you can call it that

[seepage]

I've just about managed to flop one back over the net, Plankton

[Ferris]

Got my 2nd return over the line. I am spent.

[pancreas]

Got my 2nd return over the line. I am spent.

Bah. All this special pleading. Pull yourself together, you fucking worm.

[Spoon of Ploff]

The match pancreas v FerriswheelBueller is over.

Go vote there for the player that makes you feel more wretched*.







_{* Not in general, just in this match}

[PlanktonSideburns]

I'm finished.

[Ferris]

Bah. All this special pleading. Pull yourself together, you fucking worm.

I let my desolation do the talking.

[BlodwynPig]

I'm finished.

*pulls lever*

I don't think Panco will recover from this debasing.

Also. Voting numbers have been pathetic so far this year. We usually slump to these levels by around the quarter finals. Please show a modicum of respect for your fellow players (even if we all know you despise them utterly) and do the thing. Many thanks S'Ploff.

Yes. Vote, you fuckers.

[steve98]

I fucked up (posted in the wrong thread), but it's done now, for better or worse, the die is cast.

[Rocket Surgery]

Got mine in, finally. It's a long one and definitely not worth the effort. Will message :(

[Phil_A]

My single post thread is starting to feel appropriately desolate at least.

[Spoon of Ploff]

The match between BlodwynPig and finnquark has drawn to a close. Make haste and slice a strip of meat from your preferred desolationist.

[Bazooka]

Thou art has completed desolation, god speed.
