Oh, I understand. You saved it to Dropbox. Never mind, then. I thought you were trying to upload it there. Well, there's still time to hope. =)

Sure. A script that's bad for the sake of being bad. It usually comes from a writer who knows how to write better but is trying to imitate another who doesn't.

Right on.  SO sorry, Sean, that I couldn't enter. You've done a great job already as mod and OWC KIngPin.

It's no big deal, Jeff. It's not like it's the last OWC that there's ever going to be. And, yeah, I don't know if that's true (mostly because I've hardly done any modding), but apparently, I'm batting 1.000 in OWC-Land, so that's something I suppose. =)

I'd like to put out a big shout out to Don for allowing this little contest. Really, he's the one who made this possible (I just filled in Mad Libs). At the same time, Don also mentioned to me that he's going to be a little busy and will start uploading the scripts sometime this afternoon EST. So, it may be a little later than usual, but certainly not so much so that it will be a detriment to the amount of time for anyone's reviews. Happy reading and reviewing. =)

A pisser is short for pisstake. This is a comedy script, usually a parody of the requirements and involving using SS people as chars, with jokes about their personalities and habits, etc.

Every OWC usually produces a couple, of varying success, lol

For some reason I see John Cleese in full 'Gestapo' trying to figure out how to install an 8 bit version of "Mein Kraft" on an IBM Selectric.

Thanks for the insight...

One by one they fall...

Maybe Dustin will write a 2nd or 3rd entry in the next 4 hours, knowing what a stellar writer he is.


Wrote mine in a single sitting. Took another few looks at it while finishing a feature then handed it in with around 36 hours till the deadline.

Your last effort was a disaster so I'm not surprised to see you bow out of this one. Chicken.

I was checking the forum after a long absence. I got excited that the OWC is here already. I heard about it, but never participated in it. (Didn't know what I was missing) I checked the deadline, it was Jan 10. Cool! I checked the bottom right corner of my screen; Jan 11. Not cool. But I live in Algeria, and the day is still young. Time Zone always has been my friend when it comes to deadline. It's 4 am EST Jan 11. Not cool at all. Now I really needs a time travel device not just a story with one in it.

I've promised, ages ago, that I'll return the favor for all the helpful reviews I got for my script, but I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm not selfish, but it's a drag not to be so. My laziness is always forcing me to do horrible things. Really horrible things. You don't really wanna know.

But it's 2014. Which means the Mayans were wrong. Curse them! I didn't do anything with my life because I thought if it's gonna end in 2012 then nothing is really worth the trouble. Long story short, I'll be reviewing this OWC. Get ready!

El, Psy, Congroo.
