the ramble dump

A couple of months ago, a competition was started at HBO where the challenge was to come up with something (anything) Halo-related with the length of 117 words. Apparently there were about 175 entries in all. Today they posted the top 117. Contrary to what I initially thought, that list is not in the order of competition ranking. I'm guessing it's the order in which they were submitted, but I don't know. They picked the best 117, and then shortlisted 14 of them, and then picked the three winners from that.

I submitted two entries. I am now in a happy mood because they both made it into the top 117. The first, In Character (which is about the story and characters), is number 21 on that list, and the second, Handshake (which is more about the technical aspect of the game), is number 94. I'm surprised my second entry made it into the top 117 considering it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I can't help wondering how they would have fared if they had been posted in rank order, but meh. I be content. :)

P.S. Please ignore any horrific grammatical errors.
