I don't think TFFers are up to the level required to actually win the RPJam... not with the type of requirements they used to look for anyway. The posts that usually won each day were ones with obscene amounts of detail to the point where it was overkill. It was more about how many synonyms you knew than anything, IMHO. Of course, those fools actually thought it was amazing writing, where if they had bothered to look up any of the words, they would have noticed how lame it was. I can't think of an example so I just made this up, but seriously, they wrote shit like this and won:
"The sky was pitch black, the lands obscured by ominous shadows from dark clouds that blanketed the heavens. The very plants seemed daunted by the gloom of night, their withered, crinkled, tattered leaves stretching outward for some glimpse of light. "
Sure, I used a lot of fancy descriptions... but can you count how many ways I described the fact that it was night? Is this really necessary? Is THIS good writing? No it isn't. Its dark... AND? They would literally go on for paragraphs about nothing.

In any case, I really don't have time to spend on it anyway. I'm swamped with work and college.
