Wow...very sad that 2 days after all scripts were posted, half of them have 7 or less comments on.
I don't care who wants to bitch about this comment, but it's just sad to me.
Personally, I have 6 I haven't looked at yet. And I know several peeps have done a yeoman's job on both reads and the level of feedback, but most of the feedback is very minimal and it's quite obvious, many of the writers have read none or very few.
C'mon, peeps!! C'mon, Pia! It's your challenge...you should read and comment on ever single script, IMO, at least.
Jeff, not everyone has the free time you do. I'm sure people will get to reading as soon as they can. I've only read a few, but don't think I won't be reading more in the coming days. Also, some people like to spread it out a bit so they don't get burnt out.
And is Pia really expected to read and review ALL of them? I'd say that since she's the one who put this whole thing together, she should have the luxury of reading and reviewing the ones that catch her eye. Just my opinion, of course. I wish I could power through them as fast as you can, Dude.
Jeff, I didn't enter. Why should I have to read every script? Do you know how hard it is just to try to read all the comments and make sure there's no shit going on somewhere?

Bro, it's not about having free time..it's about making the time if you enter. Each to own, but I figure the "busy" peeps would have more free time on the weekend, as opposed to the business week, where most of us have to work 8+hours each day, plus commute time, getting ready for work time, and time with family.
Maybe I'm just dead on wrong, but 6 maximum page scripts are pretty fucking easy to get through, and based on the posts of most, that may add an extra minute or 2.
Carry on, everyone. I'll crawl back into my pool, as my dinner simmers away.
I work weekends. And I'm pulling double duty by watching my two young nephews when I'm off. Not making excuses. I'll have plenty of time to read some and review in the next couple of days.

Pia, it's your challenge! Up to you how you handle that, but I know for a fact, when I hosted an OWC, and didn't enter, I read every script, just out of the spirit.

Not to alarm you, but there were shits and giggles going on earlier in this thread,

End rant...
Jeff:
Agree with you on all participants should read. But it is early yet. I pretty confidant each script will have around 20 comments, especially given that they're only six pages.
Disagree on Pia. If I ran one of these I would read Zero scripts. a)it's already a pain in the ass to run them, b) I would not enter and, c) may have to be an arbiter on an issue and would prefer not to have the script before making a decision.

Same thought process I go by when doing these. On all three accounts.
In regards to voting, is there a chance I could get the ballot today? I'm going fishing in the boonies starting tomorrow (and why I read almost all the entries this weekend - phew!) and don't want to rely on cell coverage. I'd love to get my votes counted!
