<p><span class="postbody"><a href="http://af.gog.com/en/frontpage?as=1649904300">Good Old Games</a> thought it would be a great idea to give us #10 games to give-away as part of some sort of competition. To show them how stupid that was and in order to make them regret it, we've come up with the <a href="http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=193">Codex Good Old Games Short Story Competition</a>. Follow the link for details and entries received so far.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks to all those who entered. The winners are:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Speculative fiction set in a future society based around the teachings of Volourn.</strong>


<ul>
<li>Darth Roxor. For a r00falicious Volournian poem.</li>


<li>Quilty. While the judges weren't entirely certain of it's relevance to the topic, the visual imagery was hard to pass up.</li>
</ul>
</li>


<li><strong>Why/How Age of Decadence should be made into an MMORPG. Entrants are encouraged to include hypothetical gameplay examples and prototype screenshots.</strong>


<ul>
<li>Silellak. How could we pass up the MMOARPG or screenshots accurately typifying the average MMO experience?</li>


<li>Annie Carlson. Someone else's breadcrumb trail came close but Annie's revolutionary click combat "where whichever opponent is able to click their mouse button the most times is declared the winner" won the day.</li>
</ul>
</li>


<li><strong>Developing Grimoire: A Day in the Life.</strong>


<ul>
<li>Elite. A clear judges favourite for conveying Cleve's endless suffering as an intellectually talented developer.</li>


<li>Seymour. This was difficult as the judges were going for Darth Roxor but his Volournian poem took the prize, leaving Seymour to collect on his entry here.</li>
</ul>
</li>


<li><strong>DarkUnderlord</strong>


<ul>
<li>POOPERSCOOPER. Truly, a visual masterpiece.</li>


<li>Shannow. Ultimately for mentioning Fez, just pipping spacemoose to the prize</li>
</ul>
</li>


<li><strong>Attack of the 50-foot Multi-Headed Dick.</strong>


<ul>
<li>Data4. A clear winner in this category for his lovecraftian epic. Though the judges insist he complete his masterwork before collecting his prize...</li>


<li>Occasionally Fatal. A struggle in this category with many winners considered but OF coming through in the end, possibly because of cigars.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
