I know you weren't complaining.

Thank you for your contributions to the site.

2002 was the last year that I won't have to pay taxes.

Length was only one consideration. Again, I really liked both articles. Good work both of you!

Well, kind of sorry to see you go. Thank you for your contributions to the site.

Lets get back on topic and ignore TheSod_88's comments. He or she has been dealt with appropriately. Thank you.

Assuming that both the articles section launches and that there are several articles made available before we have the 2003 awards.

Hello. Challenge over. Here are the results: 1. monkeygirl - Article: White Belt: Learning How to Learn 2. kchenault - Article: Christians and the Martial Arts 3. LeaF - DNP 3. ZeRo - DNP I would like to say that both articles had good content and displayed good grammatical context. I didn't have to edit them all that much and they are both very good articles that I look forward to publishing some time in the future. It was very close between the two. Congrats to monkeygirl. You win the Immunity. Once again, it is time to vote someone off. Please note that EVERYONE can vote and that monkeygirl CANNOT be voted for. This means that you must vote for someone else. You vote by sending a private message via this link: http://www.karateforums.com/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=745 Please mention what player you are voting for and feel free to give a short rationale. The vote and rationale will be posted, but your username (IE: who made the vote) will not be posted. So, all votes will remain anonymous. If there is a tie in voting, I will then make the deciding vote. The deadline for this vote is Wednesday, April 16 at 10:00 PM Central US time. Please remember that the person voted off will then get to choose a person to take off with him/her. Good luck.

Ken, Its cool. We had moved the deadline to Sunday at 10 PM, so that was just last night. I don't want to say much about the Articles feature, just that I have to wait on one thing and it may not be soon. But, I will make an announcement when it is getting close. Getting more articles in (building up our database) can only be good though. The results will be posted in a few minutes. Thanks.

Ken: 2 entries got in. You and monkeygirl. What do you mean "don't keep us waiting too long?" Cripes. lol I posted that right before I went to bed and I have been up for 1 hour now. So, 1 hour has passed since I wrote that. Relax. I had previously decided to mention the article titles when the winner is announced. Withers: Survivor 2 has been going for a while now. But, feel free to submit an article. For details look at the Articles forum description on the forum home. Thanks.

Welcome.

Thanks for the intro. Belated welcome to you.

Deadline has passed. Thank you for the entries. I will be reading them when I get a chance and results will be posted within a day or two.

Yes, your submission is in as well. ZeRo and LeaF: Better hurry up and get something in!

Welcome.

Welcome to the site.

No problem. Submission received and it appears to meet our guidelines. I look forward to reading it.

Welcome.

Well, in their culture someone turning the sole of their shoes on you is a huge insult. That is how I understand it, anyway.

Kensai, Well, its not about as far as you are concerned either. But, we're just posting our opinions here, so everything we say is as far as we're concerned. I agree with you that it wasn't best time to put the flag out there. I just don't feel that it was some horrendous act. Anyway, like I said... I don't really participate in here, if you notice. Tough to take an administrative role when you participate. Thanks.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

Obviously, I don't want to get involved in "Serious Discussion," but like you all... I watched it live and it was an awesome site. The US flag "issue" (not my term) will be contorted and twist, just like this war is and will be for a very, very long time. We are ingrained with Iraq quite a bit now and although it may not have been the best moment, there is really nothing wrong with it as the US flag, while being a symbol of the US, is also a symbol of freedom as far as I am concerned.

We meet again. I apologize the time it is taking, which is why I have never set a date of any kind. I am sorry for your frustration. But, know that whatever frustration you have, I have double that. The articles section will launch when I feel it both appropriate and moderately stocked. This contest is designed to enrich the community by adding more content into the articles section. I do not want to release any specifics at this time. Thank you. --- Now, this thread is about the Survivor game, so let's get back to that.
