Sam's dare didnt matter, only the approval of his two companions. Knowing he was going to be injured, he refused to back down. He was a novelty, and just longed to fit in.

"WB, relax dude! You write very well. Remember, these 1-5 ratings are subjective. What is "spectacular" to one person may be "decent" to another.

Like Jillian said, you can't expect everyone to pass a comment when they give you a rating. There is a reason feedback is usually collected anonymously. Most of us are not completely honest even to their best friends when it comes to criticism.

Also, remember, this is a "3-sentence-adventure", and one may not exactly be blown away in 3 sentences to say "spectacular". I don't know why some have got 4 while you have a 3.25, though. What is definitely wrong is deliberately giving someone a low rating, and I understand your frustration on that.

This 5-star rating system is good if we're all honest with each other and truly rate the content (and not the person). But, to err is human and to fix the system is Nick :)

So, keep up your good work with writing and try not to worry too much about this! :)"

"Wow, I think you just did freak out. Okay, let's take a breather.

I know it's frustrating but remember that people are perfectly within their rights to rate whatever they want without leaving a comment. I completely agree with you that if someone really doesn't like the post or has a problem with it, then they should explain why. But, they're not obligated so you should try not to expect them to.
You never know, maybe the person is just really uncomfortable leaving a comment or whatever. Could be any reason.

Anyway, the rating system is changing soon so hopefully we can avoid most of this frustration in the future.

Breathe in, breathe out...."

"The difficulty makes it all the more interest, as well the 3 different routes give you the small chance to change the pace of the story. Its to prove that even 3 sentences have an ENORMOUS impact on where a story goes."

"I'm just looking over this and its actually even better than the one word thing because it gives people more of an ability to express themselves creatively without being forced to write an entire chapter!"

"You can get frustrated all you want, I'm sure you have more than enough to deal with, without me constantly cropping up loopholes haha! I appreciate you keeping the story here and changing it so that its more friendly to you and the site! Its still going to be tons of fun."

"Okay. We now have a 140-character limit to all posts. Yes, it's now in the posting guidelines, too. :p

Revised the story to still be fun. Sorry for being grumpy about it but I think everyone realizes this will probably get ugly if we don't head it off at the pass."

posted Apr 13 by surreal78

"Okay, not your fault. I should have thought of this a while ago. Sorry for getting frustrated there.

I'm going to tweak this post a bit, the concept sounds fun, but we'll make it a little less spammy. Hopefully no one will get too mad at me for intervening."

"Okay guys.. let's try not to game the system too badly here. You know this kind of post is going to cause problems.

Do I need to require a certain number of characters per post, now?

Troublemaker of the week is definitely right..."

"Hrm, this is gonna be another post could booster, isn't it. I may have to somehow exclude this from stats otherwise a lot of people are probably going to be pretty choked. :p"

posted Apr 13 by surreal78

"No prizes for guessing who will win the trouble-maker of the week award! Never a dull moment with WB!

For someone with the name "Writer's block", you do write a lot! Wonder what will happen if the Writer's block was unblocked! :D"
