Quoted from Zack Only 20 out of 25 writers took part in round one. I wonder how many will enter a script for round 2? My money says fewer will be in this round. Writing comedy is brutal.

How do you know that, Zack?

Quoted from Kevin_L Can people that didn’t write in round 1 participate in round 2?

Yes, someone who misses a round simply gets the minimum possible score (as if everyone gave that person's script a "1" in every category).

As for joining after round 1, that's up to Sean, but from previous comments I don't think he's open to that.

So, if someone spends hours writing a script that everyone hates, he or she gets a 1, and then someone who didn't even bother to spend a second, also gets a 1?

That's not right...at all...

Quoted from Dreamscale How do you know that, Zack?

Over on the Updates thread, Sean has 25 writers listed. Only 20 scripts in round 1. Though I think 2 writers are partnering up, so I guess that means only 4 writers didn't get something in for round 1.

I agree. Writers who miss a round shouldn't get any points. If anything, they should be penalized a point.

OK, yeah.  I thought maybe some kind of scoreboard was up with 20 writers and their scores for Round 1.  I'm personally dreading that...

Well, yeah, but a ZERO score in a week is pretty brutal.  Just so they get less than someone who tried.

I need whatever edge I can get. I say penalize them 10 points. And make'em drink a pickle slushi.

  YES!  AGREED!!!

But, what if they like pickle slushies?

Could happen.

How could anyone like such a thing?

Oh, God. It's real!

Script submitted. Not sure what I have. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Quoted from PKCardinal Oh, God. It's real!

Hell, I have to deal with all these psychopaths for actively eat pickle pizza. I don't know what to do about them.

Pickle pizza? What is wrong with people!? Have we lost our collective minds!?
