I had a feeling Jordan wrote 'Repetition' and Michael Cornetto 'Omelian Resolution' - wrong on both counts.  

Now that the names are revealed I'll try to read a few more entries.

Haha got my guesses wrong. Then again, I didn't guess much. I wouldn't have gotten any correct any way. Good job everyone. This has been a great OWC.

My guesses were way off.

Quoted from Grandma Bear
Awaiting Heaven:  I think this is Zack, even though nobody gets killed.  I mean, except the talking rat.

Experimental Heros:  I think I recognize Wesley in that one.

Rydale's Prison:  There is alot there that reads like Mr. Z, but oddly, a few things that do not.  I am only about 75% on this one.

Best so far (to me):  Rydale's Prison and Repetition.


Who's da' man?  2 out of 3.

And damn good on you, Sean.  This is your most mature work yet.  From a guy who read "Kill Ride", let me say you are really coming along.

And nice work to that Whitcroft fella'.  You and I have a lot in common, sir.

And how did I miss Abe's?  I will certainly catch up to you when I get the chance, pal.

Gross, Kill Ride...Ha ha I've been looking back at the script a few times and I just think it's a terrible script...in my opinion...I don't know about other people. It wasn't thought out well enough and it's weighted down with extreme spelling and grammatical errors and those descriptions...


Look at me. I'm reviewing my own script.

Seriously, after we have the 20th OWC, I still won't be able to recognize who's who. :(

Yep! It's getting kinda itchy though. Could you send me another?

My script will have to wait until tomorrow for my defense.

By the way... Sean, I enjoyed your script the most. However, there were plenty of other really good scripts this time around. Great OWC people!

Your script gave me scurvy...Argh!!!


Zack,

I think you reversed things.  Your head itches because you're probably wearing the jock strap on it.

You know, you may be right. I thought it smelled like ass.

There was this, right up front:

By:  Who ever the hell wrote it!!!


That's "whoever", btw.  And then later, this:


Quoted from Awaiting Heaven
...you piece of p**** s***...


And, somehow, I just knew it was Zack.  I am not really sure how, actually.  It just clicked.

And while I'm here, sorry to be so tough on you, ABSteele.  I would not have connected you to that one in a million years.  When you misfire, you really go all out, don't you?   :)

nice job everyone. this was my first OWC and it was a blast, hopefully I wasn't too harsh on anyone.

Wow. There were a lot of entries from our new members. Welcome aboard, guys, I hope you all stick around.

I may have done something wrong here but my script hasn't been revealed. I wrote 'What you did', and it isn't on the list.

Hmmmm.

I didn't put any guesses out there, and I would have been way off as well had I put any guesses out there. It seems like a lot of these scripts were written by newbies, myself included. This has been an awesome experience.

I just feel so close to you guys (wipes a tear).

Great job to all, I hope we can do this again sometime. In the meantime, it's back to the keyboard for some new material.

Wow. None of my guesses, save for "Forsaken Seas," was correct. I'm really looking forward to seeing the three entries. I didn't vote for them, but here are my predictions:

Repetition
Rydale's Prison
Awaiting Heaven
