2014 ICS Elite Eight: Discussion Thread

[DinoInstitute]

So Z, I have a question on the power of the bullets. I'll use MK rides as an example.

So, I guess you can do this for 1 sentence:

Rides:
-Space Mountain
-Peter Pan's Flight
-Splash Mountain

But can you do this?:

Rides:
-Space Mountain, a high speed roller coaster in the dark, located in Tomorrowland
-Peter Pan's Flight is a classic suspended dark ride in Fantasyland
-Splash Mountain, a long time favorite, musical log flume ride located in Frontierland

That looks awesome Red! Really cool and original concept, but not a weird-original concept. A great addition and area!

By the way, critiques may not come tonight (because they take longer to write up), but you will definitely find out who won.

Hopefully LJ has set aside time for us tonight.

I'm digging the concept of guest judges!

Thanks!

I was worried "Fine Arts" may be "out there" for the monorail loop. But you know… Fancy hotels… Fancy Pavillion

No. Remember, I said that bulleted lists had to be able to be organized into a sentence with commas. Your example would have commas inside commas, so it would be a run-on sentence.

What about multiple comma items on a single bullet point that do not read as sentence fragments or complete sentences?

E.g.

• Tickets, annual passes and Magicbands
• Reservations, restaurant and events

I would allow that. As long as you can organize it into a single sentence.

Alright, sounds good. Just wondering what I could do to embellish

Thank goodness, we went a different route.

After finishing a 15 page paper yesterday, I am struggling to write my descriptions.

Well @englanddg, I think I'm ready.

Now we wait, like a staring contest on who posts first...
