Hiya!

We have finally reached the Finals! Yayy! Everyone who has come this far should be VERY proud of themselves. You 4 are essentially the top 4 writers on this wiki and you should be immensely proud of your achievements.

But as always - a new round brings new eliminations. And so, let us see who will make it to the Finals.

I shall begin with the wildcard, '''BlueHeart7693. The requirement was to reach a total score of 38. '''

Blue: Plot: '''8/10. '''Very interesting. I was somewhat confused (more about that later) but it was overall a great story. Originality: '6/10.'  Average. Theme: '''8/10. '''Christmas ham? Check. Minecraft? Check. Incoporated well? Check, check, check. Language: '''8/10. '''Great language. Punctuation/Spelling: '''6/10. '''The weird punctuation made it a tedious read. This is really where you were let down. Overall: '''36/50. '''Sadly 2 short from making the Wildcard round.

Bad luck to BlueHeart7693! Hopefully next tournament you will rise up and maybe get further then you did this time.

Now for the duels!

Icydice vs Kitten of Seeker

Winner: Icydice

Time for the notes.

Kitten Plot: '''8/10. '''Strange but compelling. The plot twist at the end was very good. Originality: 7/10. Pretty original but still borderline not....? I don't know. Theme: 6/10. I failed to see Minecraft, but that's probably just me. Language: 6/10. Average. Punctuation/Spelling: '''6/10. '''Also a bit iffy. Overall: '''33/50. '''Great job!

Icydice Plot: '''9/10. '''Literally scared me. Impeccable writing and fantastic story. Originality: '''8/10. '''Similar to Kitten but still a point higher. Theme: 7/10. Nothing much to say. Language: 8/10. Amazing. Very well chosen words. Punctuation/Spelling: 6/10. Felt a bit rushed here. Some quick proofreading could have picked up a plethora of mistakes. Overall: 38/50. Very well done!

Well done Icydice and good job to Kitten of Seeker for a fantastic edit.

Shrautsticks vs MinecraftPastaWriter

Winner: Shrautsticks.

This one was VERY VERY close. Literally off by one point. They both stepped up there game here and it was a pain to judge, but you both should be EXTREMELY proud.

Shraut Plot: 8/10. Weird and quirky but compelling. Originality: 7/10. Pretty original. Theme: '''7/10. '''Theme worked well. Language: '''8/10. '''Very good language! Punctuation/Spelling: 8/10. Easy to read and grammar was great. Overall: 38/50. Very well done!

MPW Plot: 6/10. Ugh, this hurts so much. If you had just finished your story you would have beat Shraut and gone to the final. The plot was interesting but the fact that it was still WIP even after my extended due date sucked. It's a real shame, to be honest with you. Good plot from what I saw, but damn. Originality: 6/10. Average. Theme: 7/10. Nothing much to say. Language: '''9/10. '''Fantastic here! Wayyy better then last time. Punctuation/Spelling: 9/10. Also very well written in this regard. Overall: '''37/50. '''Well done!

Congraulations to Shrautsticks and bad luck to MinecraftPastaWriter - you put up a great fight.

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for... the finals!

Shrautsticks vs Icydice - The Ultimate Pasta Showdown.

Wow. We have come to the final moment of this tournament. It has been an amazing ride.

Here are the rules:

Your pasta MUST be longer than 1000 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: 'The True Meaning Of Christmas         '

Your pasta MUST be related to Minecraft in some way.

To clarify:

Yes. It MUST be longer then 1000 words. I know it was usually 300... but big round means big stories. And this time I will ACTUALLY be checking whether it makes the cut.

By The True Meaning Of Christmas I am not saying that your story has to be anything religious. I would actually prefer not. It is completely open to your own creative interpretation!

The due date is the 9th of January, 2019.

Good luck you two, and may the best pasta win!
