Congratulations to the top three winners, and all those who entered. My favorite script in this round is "It's that Season Again."

Congratulations, Ethan!

Congrats Ethan! And congrats to all. It's always the toughest challenge of the year for me.

No way the Reflection Road got that. It got the highest rating from me. But ok)

Congrats to Ethan!  And to Rene and Colin.

Congrats to everyone who entered.

Congrats to everyone who submitted, read and reviewed it was a fun challenge for sure. Big ups to the winners its well deserved.

I love that we included the decimals of the scores to the twelfth digit ahahaha

Congrats to the winner - also very happy that some of you enjoyed my quickly whipped up script, I had a good time reading everything

Thanks, everyone! And congrats to everyone who submitted a script, and especially to those who took the time to read and review without having entered anything themselves.

WOOHOO!! Congrats to Ethan, Rene C, and Colin!

And good job to everyone who entered! I thought the quality was pretty dang good across the board and I had a hard time coming up with clear favorites.

Gotta run and get my morning coffee!-A

Congratulations Ethan! - I might be wrong, but have you entered two and won two?  Are you taking the piss? lol.

Surprised with top three - comments were mixed - but will take it

Thanks to everybody who took part, loads of great reads - and thanks to Steve and Don for organising.

Congrats to the top 3.

Quoted from ColinS Surprised with top three - comments were mixed - but will take it

Totally agree!

I'm actually shocked with the scoring overall.  I mean, completely shocked.

For me, this OWC had the lowest quality of scripts I've probably ever seen, yet scores did not reflect that at all.

I guess I really am confused just how peeps are scoring these things.  Parameters don't seem to come into play with scoring at all.  Nor does quality and obvious lack of quality.

I'm just seriously looking over final scoring and scratching my head how some of these scripts scored what they did.  To me, it literally makes ZERO sense, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out there was an error in the tallying of the voting, or some peeps mistakenly scored "backwards", thinking 5 was actually 1 and so on.

For an obviously poor entry to score well above 2.0 means a good number of voters are handing out 3's at minimum, possibly a 4 or 5, even.

And for an obviously good entry to score below 3.0 means voters are handing out 2's, possibly 1's.

I would absolutely LOVE to see how various peeps voted.  I'm, also wondering how many peeps voted.

Peace out.

Congrats, Ethan! And a big thanks to Steve and Don for putting this together.

I'll second that. The output this time was very rough. A real slog to read through.

We should try an open OWC. Not an anonymous one. I feel like it'll encourage people to be less harsh/more constructive with their feedback. It'd also encourage more back and forth on the individual threads. Any cheating would almost certainly be obvious, and we'd have to nip it quickly and loudly, but I truly believe the vast majority of people here are honest people. Think we should also put our scores at the end of our reviews from now on. Let's put everything out in the open. It's worth a shot, right?

It could really help the OWCs expand into something even greater. Just my opinion.

Wow.

And, Zack, I'll SECOND that!  Seriously WOW!!!
