This is the second time I have been rejected!!! why? Both times they say that they have too many inquiries, last time I waited 37 days and no reply, this time I wait a week and get rejected......

why??? ... did you start this pointless topic?

Keikan, I mean no offence, but you seem to have an attitude toward me.....

Akreal, i mean no offence, but you seem to start pointless topics and postings over and over again.

Why did you make this one? Want to waste some space?

If you are asking why you have been refused, we are not able to tell you the specific reason.
As it is stated in the last email you got from us (twice) we dont have the time to say everyone individually what he did wrong.

You have your own brain, we are not here to think for you.

Both times I was rejected after the story.......Ispent alot of time finishing them....

Hmmmmm..... did you put good english in your story? Some of the people accepting are German too! So if you mis-spell one word wrong, their translaters would not know what it meant, making it an unknown word, making a section of the story hard to read, making the story 'bad'. And, did you make sure you had no modern words like 'dude' or 'car' or something like that, or comp talk like 'lol' or 'lmao'.

The player of Sess'sth falls on the ground laughing, as he puts lmao down.

Ahhh I love that 'word'. LMAO!!

If the people of the account team would use translators, no one except the german players, woul be accepted. Just try it out, translate any text from english to german and than back...

But I think a proper spelling is always fine

Many of the native German-speaking GMs have an amazing grasp on the English language. They can indeed tell the difference between a poor response to the stories and a well-written one.

For the record, there is at least one native English-speaking GM. Now, no one can use the excuse that their submission was an incredible piece of English literature and the language barrier caused their unmerited rejection.
