I'm 99% certain that has never happened. The only time I can see quantity coming into play is in the sense of the simple reality that you can achieve more in 2000 words than you can in 200, so a few posts several pages in length are going to beat a few posts several paragraphs in length due to the fact that the paragraph-length writer just can't tell a story as well unless he or she is very good.
I'm certain that that situation has occured though so my advice, unless a Creative member contradicts it, is to never look at post count, or even word count as any kind of indicator.

1. What do you think creative looks for in determining a good, winning feud? I really don't know, but I don't think they look at what they should.
2. What do you think creative should look for in determining a good, winning feud? They should look at who writes the better story within the feud. If I write a good story & you write a good story, but your story mostly revolves around character developement or outside influences or past storylines that have nothing to do with the feud you are currently in, then you should lose, even if you out wrote your opponent. You need to include your opponent, not exclude them & only focus on developement of a new tag team-mate or or anything like that. Some people will argue that character developement is important to show the how's & why's of their character & I agree, but I don't think an 8 page post with 7 pages dedicated to char devel is better than a 2 page post that only concentrates on the interaction of the 2 opponents, no matter who wrote it.
3. What do you personally enjoy reading in feuding? What makes a feud entertaining to you? A little bit of comedy, some drama, but mostly human emotion & involvement. While one of my characters is an "otherworld type", I don't care to spend a lot of time in the other world. My feud is in the here & now, so I want to read about the here & now.
4. Is there anything that crosses over numbers 2 and 3? In other words, are you entertained by certain things you think creative should look for, do you think creative should look for these certain things that entertain you, etc? Creative needs to get onto ONE set of rules that they look for & stick with it. That's all. Do I think that a splash of comedy should be required for a good feud to win? No. But if that comedy he uses is better than the drama I use, he should win.
Bottom line...I could've come back already...but I haven't because I didn't like where this place was when I left & I'm still not impressed with it now. But then again, who said you needed to impress me? And for those that will say I'm complaining about losing & such...I stepped down with the tag titles & could come back to them & I'm still not chomping at the bit to get back.

Would this be a bad time to sing a happy song to cheer everyone up?

Just because those who generally win most of their feuds happen to have a lot of backstory does not necessarily mean that they're winning because they're pushing that backstory.
It's not hard to see how there could be a correlation between someone able ot handle long-term storylines, character development and a complex, interesting backstory and someone who can write well, I don't think.
