Hi, Schulmanator. Presumably that will not be followed by HVD...

Hi, PhatHead. Niice to see you drop by.

Hi, Fox. Congratulations again - you'll have to stay tuned to see where you end up in the top one hundred.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ben's Top One Hundred +5 for 2013

It's that time of year again where we count down the top CJs from 2013. Today we have numbers 81-105.

​There are two former number ones in there - Castiana - Sahal - Vagonbrei, and Harar.

Updated Dec 29

Today we've added positions 61-80. The Great Coast hit number one this year. Izumo and Zouerat Islamic Federation were number ones from 2012.

Updated Dec 30

Positions 41-60 added today. This includes some CJs that were number one in the last 3 years: Schellingen Stadt, Parkland, Utgard and City of Angeles.

Updated Dec 31 - celebrate responsibly & Happy New Year!

CJs in spots 21-40 that have been number one in the past include Yoshi's Redwolf, Brunswick, The empire of Nueva Iberia, and Random & Random. There are quite a few Trixie winners, too.

Updated Jan 1 - welcome to 2014!

We're up to numbers 11-20. CJs that have been number one include Med Inspirations, Okatabawashi, Ring of Fire, Progress, Cattala, Selbring County and Shayden.

Republic of Shihaisha was also number one - my apologies for not having its number one star there.

Updated Jan 2 - the top ten is here.

It's not that old, but King's Bend wowed enough to get to number one four times and be the number 10 CJ for the year.

At 9 New Chandler, a Trixie winner in 2012, is the highest ranked CJ for the year not to have reached number one, although it has been as high as number 2.

Asgard hit number one for the first time this year, has won Trixies in 2011 and 2012, and is at number 8.

At 7 Hijaran United Confederacy has hit number one in 2013 and 2012, and won a Trixie in 2012.

Ionica, a number one CJ in 2013 and 2012, is at 6.

The 2012 winner of the Trixie for Best CJ, winner of Trixies in 2012 and 2011, and a BTT number one in 2009 (thanks, Time Machine), 2011, 2012, 2013, Journey through Paengia, is at 5.

At 4 is Shushtrepistaz, a number one in 2013 and a Trixie winner in 2012.

Last year's number one for the year, Schulmania, is at 3. This CJ has won the most Trixies of any CJ at Simtropolis, and was also number one for the year in 2009 (link to Time Machine Top 100 for 2009).

Number one on BTT in 2013 and 2012, Mass Effect: The Milky Way is number 2 for the year.

Which can only mean that the number one CJ for 2013 is New SorGun. Well done to this Trixie winning CJ which has been number one on BTT in 2013 and 2012.

Thanks for all your support and interest in BTT, and thanks to all the CJ authors for their creative and entertaining work. The regular BTT will be back soon.

Hi, SC4L0ver. Nice to see you commenting here - your CJ is one of my personal favorites. Happy New Year!

 

Hi, SimCoug. Getting really close to the top, now. Happy New Year!

 

Hi, sim_link. Good to see your CJ active enough to be there. Happy New Year!

 

Hi, SimRico. Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too.

 

Hi, City_Master. Well done. Happy New Year!

 

Hi, Huston. Hitting number one twice has its benefits. Happy New Year!

 

Hi, NMUSpidey. You had very consistent updates throughout the year which pays off for the finale. Happy New Year!

I'm really amazed that Cattala was even on the list, let alone that high up. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to this project Ben, it's brilliant and I wish you the best of luck in 2014.

15 is surptrisingly high given how few entries the CJ had.

I got #25 and #71. That shocked me.

Schulmanator, Simcoug, or Paeng: who gets the top spot this year?

 

Well - IF it is to be one of these three I'd be rooting for SimCoug's New SorGun - story-telling at its best!

 

But I bet it's a much closer "race" this year, tons of fantastic CJs around... Whatever comes out 'on top', all of them are gonna be a blast!

Hi, elavery. Maybe not so many entries, but they placed highly in the weeks they made the chart.

 

Hi, ThomasSimpson. Thank you! And your CJ was pretty active early in the year, including time at number one, which helped you reach your position for 2013.

 

Hi, SimCoug. Today's the day of the drum roll...

 

Hi, Huston. You and TekindusT are now tied with 4 CJs each in the top 100 - nice work!

 

Hi, TekindusT. ^ see above

 

Hi, ROFLyoshi. Very nice work in 2013.

 

Hi, paeng. The race was close, as it always has been for this section. Check the image today to see if your prediction is correct.

Awesome! So many good ones in there. SimCoug has done a great job this year and he deserves his gold medal!

Congratz to simcoug!  He really killed it this year.  :D

 

And congratz to everyone on the list too.  #13 is surprising: i didn't think i had enough updates this year to be able to crack the top 20.

I have to congratulate SimCoug's great year, taking the #1 spot this year. He totally deserves it with his amazing plotline and unparallleled detailing of a old American Western-pacific town.

But heck, I'm stoaked to see Mass Effect: The Miliy Way got #2! Wasn't expecting that, but I was sure hoping to get somewhere up there. Certainly did well for a first year :D (not sure if anyone anticipated that though :P )

Congrats to everyone on the list!  

The top ten is quite a diverse set of CJs (and the entire list for that matter), which is indicative of the creativity bursting throughout this community.  

I am humbled by all the comments I receive with each update, so thank you all for tuning into New SorGun.  

Happy 2014 everyone!

Hi, Schulmanator. Nice work in 2013!

 

Hi, jayguum. Looking forward to it.

 

Hi, Forthwall. Hopefully Shushtrepistaz will be back this year.

 

Hi, paeng. Psychic paeng!

 

Hi, TekindusT. Nice work with your 4 CJs in there for 2013.

 

Hi, wasso38. Was your CJ in Ben'sTop Ten at all during 2013? If not, then there is no way it can be in the top 100 for the year...

 

Hi, spursrule. Nice work in 2013.

 

Hi, blunder. The formula is never wrong - well done.

 

Hi, Huston. Well done on having four top ten CJs in there for the year. And I agree, pretty amazing to see a sci-fi journal make it number 2 for the year - well done.

 

Hi, ThomasSimpson. Nice work last year.

 

Hi, SimCoug. Awesome stuff last year, your work has been brilliant.

 

Hi, MilitantRadical. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new stuff you all come up with for 2014. I continue to be amazed, impressed and grateful for the creativity of all the city journalists.
