Well done for the latest winner. Hats off.
The man, the myth, the meme has returned! Hello everyone. We need one submission more in the current ToTW, and there seems to be some lag on the last vote. It was still up for voting when I was here...
First time Ive been here in a while. Why not?
Rendezvous
Elizabeth wiped a line of sweat from her brow as she loosened up her flight suit. Two days system patrol within her tight coffin...
I'm happy with this. 426 words. Got lazy about underlining the 5 words though, sorry.
IX swept the plains, and began its standard patrol maneuvers, locking gears and turning up its internal...
Easy one for me. Great job everyone, definitely stronger showing than what I put out this time.
I'll inevitably try to do something weird with the word choices but this time probably as a joke submission more than anything. Im not at all caught up on GoT :(
I think we all know merchant of venice just has this one in the bag :P
Thank you everyone!
Looking forward to the next ToTW! Thank you everyone again for your votes.
May the best man/woman win! Have at you,gentlemen!
Not sure whats worth sharing from my present circumstances, so here is the brass tax:
Arrived in Seoul via Asiana Airlines from Canada Early March (maybe even just before) for a teaching english...
Thanks for the votes on Starman! The latest one I did for 251 was really hard. Tough to fit it into a 500 word box, but good editing practice. I cut away a lot, hopefully it is still appealing...

"Here is the news"
"Welcome. I am Arthur Mulligan, and you are watching Night-News-One."
Mulligan shifted in his seat, remaining composed. The colonies would not see his face but...
Approx. 449 words.
"Celestial Chess"
"All I am saying, Marcellus, is that perhaps you are in the un-enviable position of being predestined to be trounced."
A silky nearly glowing hand...
Holy smokes! I didnt get to see this because I was so busy wrangling kindergarteners in Korea! Thanks so much everyone!
I feel like 500 is luxurious. Knowing I'm writing a short story, I have twice now found that I ended up with around 200-300 words, total. Seven hundredis fine too of course, but I personally find...
Ah. Sadly I have lost my submission.
500 words exactly
The Cult
Caeso Aurius Zosimus carefully knocked three times, timing his knuckles to a set beat, making sure to space his fists appropriately.

On the AAR: One thing I have considered is that the character establishes a reputation no matter where he goes for basically being morally ideal as an officer and a gentleman. Over the course of the...
2. Only a little bit. The crusade was well-intentioned. Some Kolnish rulers requested military support because they were losing entire towns and cities to demonic presence, and what few knight...
Thank you! Keep track of the first post, there is a lot that I've already thought of that needs fleshing out. A few of the races (naga, dwarves) need more depth, and I havent actually gotten to the...
Greetings, I enjoy world-building, and have been picking over this possible setting for some time. I am presently developing it as a possible place to set a Pathfinder (DnD 3.5) campaign. The...
+rep to both of you, thank you!
I think delaying the release might be the key. That way if I fizzle out I wont have dissapointed anyone, and I can always return to get back on track.
Ah, so I am in error, then? I was under the impression that those men could have been acquired from a wide range of disciplines and ethnicity. While I admit there is logic in political figures using...
Almost exclusively ethnic greek, from around coastal anatolia. Many, including the particular officer, (who happens to be rather old) served previously in the legions. Some hangers-on might be gothic.
After giving this a a whirl for a few turns, I can definately say that I will need to look at ways to use up money. One may well be to double building costs, and further increase unit recruitment...
Thanks Joar, that means a lot!
First release out the door. This is quite rough and NEEEDS fine tuning for balance. I implore everyone to point out:
-Units that cost more/less than they should...
Hail, I am composing, or rather, researching the 5th century roman army for details for an AAR I plan to write using Rio's VGR submod for IB.
A character I have in mind is a good friend and...
Current release plans:
V 0.1: The core mod. What this will look like is across the board every recruitment time will be reduced by one turn (1 turn recruit units will become 0's), all prices...
Rio, you're the best! Thanks for making such a sturdy foundation and a wonderful contribution to the TWC community.
Do any of the proposed features rub you the wrong way? You know more about VGR...
Very good points everyone, thank you for replying to me!
I am trying to figure out an ideal mix of presentation, style, and focus that could optimize my limited energies in a productive way....
Hey there, Im a little worried that my 4 core laptop is struggling with RTW at the moment. Any tips on tweaks I can make to reduce processor load?
Hello! As you can see from my sig, I was the proud owner of an AAR, a fairly up-and-coming one at the time of its release. I had an initial burst of popular support and continued interest. However, I...
I am considering doing a Invasio Barbarorum one as the ERE, but I also have serious doubts. After dropping the ball so hard with this, would that be a good idea at all?
So I am genuinely sorry to leave this unfinished. Life happened, as it always does. Also, the game and the PC that it resided upon went to that place that laptops go to die. With that in mind, LETS...

UPDATE: New release! (0.01) - See the bottom of this post for the download!
The goal of ultimate apocalypse is to make public a home-brew modification for my favorite IB mod. I make this set of...
Agreed, Gigantus. Gracul's editor is superb but not really what I'm looking for. BrandonM's actually can do what Im looking for its just broken and old.
I guess I'll need to do this manually...
First and foremost, +rep, that was helpful, and you are genuinely a decent fellow for helping out so consistently.
Second, for some reason BMTWS does not want to load this EDU properly. It loads a...
