Hiya!

Round two judging has finally concluded! It was very tough and there were SO many good pastas. So let's quit yapping and get to the results, shall we?

TheDiamondPro123 vs Kitten Of Seeker

Winner by default: Kitten Of Seeker.

I did not judge yours but I will read it after this is posted. TheDiamondPro123 did not write a story in time therefore you win by default. well done ecksdee

Shrautsticks vs BlueHeart7693

Winner: Shrautsticks

These two had the largest overall score against the other groups when combined together and were literally the closest. Let me show you the stats and give some notes.

Shraut: Plot: 7/10. I was interested in what was going to happen next and it was a fantastic, albeit short story. Well done! Originality: '''5/10. '''After the controversy with League I decided to lower this mark to a solid 5 for average. Nothing much more to say. Theme: '''5/10. '''I didn't really understand why it was Christmas. But I am probably stupid lmAo Language: 9/10. Fantastic language. You did excellent here! Punctuation/Spelling:''' 7/10. '''I found a few spelling slip ups (i.e minuet instead of minute) that clearly shows lack of proofreding, but otherwise it was pretty solid. Overall: 37/50. Impressive. Well done.

Blue: Plot: '''8/10. '''The story was creepy and it certainely kept me engaged. The characters were interesting and the overall idea was very cool. Originality: '''7/10. '''Pretty original. Haven't heard a story like this before really. Theme: '''7/10. '''A bit iffy in terms of tree but it was still in there and the Minecraft-ness was incoporated well. Language: '''6/10. '''Above average. It was good but nothing super impressive. Punctuation/Spelling: 6/10. Didn't notice any massive mistakes in terms of spelling but overall punctuation could have been better. Overall: '''36/50. '''Impressive. Well done.

Congratulations Shrautsticks! And great job to BlueHeart9673. EXTREMELY close.

But Blue MIGHT get another chance... read on.

Simon Slaugters vs MinecraftPastaWriter

Winner: MinecraftPastaWriter

Here are the stats.

Simon: Plot: 6/10. Pretty interesting and I liked the concept very much. Originality: 5/10. Seems kinda liked a Christmas take on a cliche 'server shutting down' story. Not bad though. Theme: 8/10. Very much Christmas Trees and Minecraft. Definitely worked there. Language: 5/10. Average. Nothing else to say. Punctuation/Spelling: 5/10. Same with Language. Overall: 29/50. Pretty good. Continue to write and you WILL get better :D

MPW Plot: 7/10. Weird as. Kept me interesting and engaged and I was definitely taken on a wild ride with this tree. Originality: 7/10. A tree causing power malfuctions and spiders to come out of nowhere? Where have I heard that before? Only 7 because of the cliche 'my lights went out' deal. Theme: 7/10. Minecraft and Christmas Trees. Minecraft could've been better incoporated though. Language: '''7/10. '''Above average. Nothing much else. Puncutation/Spelling: 8/10. No noticable mistakes from me. Overall: '''36/50. I'''mpressive. Good job!

Congratulations MinecraftPastaWriter and good luck to Simon Slaughters for future stories!

Icydice vs League Fighters

Winner: Icydice

Tough. Here are the stats (again).

Icy Plot: 8/10. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. As usual. The twists kept on coming and the story kept on moving. Originality: '''6/10. '''Slightly above average. Not new to me but not blatantly common either. Theme: 8/10. Minecraft and Christmas Trees, again. Language: 7/10. Fantastic. Punctuation/Spelling: 8/10. No big noticable mistakes from me. Overall: '''37/50. '''Very impressive.

League: Plot: 6/10. Interesting and weird. I liked it a l ot. Originality: 5/10. After the drama with Shraut I lowered it to a solid average 5. Theme: 7/10. Once again, Minecraft and- do I even need to say it? Language: 7/10. Compelling language throughout. Punctuation/Spelling: '''4/10. '''This is where it kinda flopped. Improvement is really needed here. Overall: '''29/50. '''Well done.

Congratulations Icydice and well done to League.

Now for the draw:

Randomely selected by wheeldecide.com, here it is.

Icydice vs Kitten of Seeker

Shrautsticks vs MinecraftPastaWriter

Good luck!

Now for the WILDCARD!

BlueHeart7963 is the lucky reciever of this Wildcard challenge.

Their challenge: Create a story with the semi-final rules that reaches a score of 38/50 or over. Sounds menacing but I am sure it can be done.

If this challenge is successfly completed he will compete in the Wildcard round where he will go up against the lowest scoring winner of the semi-finals. Whoever wins the Wildcard round - whether it is Blue on the winner of the original semi-finals - will continue against the highest point-scorer of the semifinals for a chance to be the first Annual Christmas Pasta Tournament winner.

Now for the rules.

Your pasta MUST be longer than 300 words.

Your pasta MUST be originally made by yourself. No collabs.

Your pasta MUSTN'T be older then 1 week old. I highly suggest creating a new one.

Your pasta MUST fit in with this rounds theme: 'Christmas Ham'         

Your pasta MUST be related to Minecraft in some way.

The theme is a little wacky, so get creative! It doesn't have to be a creepypasta you know... it is a 'pasta' tournament after all. Not just creepypasta.

Good luck all, and may the best pasta win!
