Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. It's been WAY over a month and I haven't posted anything new here since then, but I have an excuse, OKAY! 1. Some of the judges quit for personal reasons leaving me with only three, which is the minimum number I wanted for judging. 2. One of the judges, who hasn't been contacting me awhile for, again, personal reasons, finally sent me a PM and is getting to work judging the last of the stories. 3. I'm a really lazy person by default.

Anyway, this isn't quiet unexpected seeing as this is the first time I've ever done something like this and hopefully this sort of thing will become rare over time.

Partially as an apology for not posting anything but mostly because one of you guys told me it would be a good idea, there's a forum for Battle Royal! Go and talk to each other about how long this judging has gone on, or something. Just one rule: since there are unfortunately stupid people out there, if you are a judge you are not allowed to announce so on the forum because some idiot might bribe you for some unknown reason. For everyone else, don't believe anyone who says they are a judge because I've discovered that I can ban people and the "judge" will be banned. If you need further reasoning behind this, don't hesitate to send me a private message.

As always, ask me any questions you have about this competition!

"Hmm," a dark hooded judge pondered over a screen.

"What bothers you?" a second appeared behind the first.

"This competitor actually tricked the planetary computers," the first chuckled.

"Oh?" asked the second. "What did it do?"

"She didn't kill a competitor, but everyone thinks he's dead."

"Interesting. Too bad he can't get off the planet. Did she win by default?"

"Yes. Are you about to say what I believe you will say?"

"Perhaps."

"Then spit it out."

The second grinned mischievously. "Beam him into the hanger bay and tell the third judge to give him a ship."

"He's an enemy of the Tallest."

"They don't need to know he's alive."

"And the Overseer?"

"She probably already planned for this."

"Of course."
