Contract Negotiations - Rube Goldberg Story Contest It's a part of the Harbor City Universe, and got it in with less than 3 hours to spare.

This is turning into a nail-biter. As much as I'd like a Dewey-Defeats-Truman moment, I think I'll be congratulating Darinost later this afternoon.

I already voted for your story, so I can't close that gap anymore.

Oh well, eat your heart out, Truman. Looks like we've got a winner here. @Darinost put in a great entry and we all had a lot of fun with them all. I tip my hat to the victor.

(Besides, as a mod, I can't give myself a cool title anyway.)

Congratulations to @Darinost and to our runner-up @SoftGameHunter, too. What a nice duel between two first time participants.

And as usual, the story I voted for doesn't win. Maybe my votes are a curse. :lol:

I would love the title of “Proud Hrat”, please. And no, that is not a typo.
