Talk:Ted the Caver/@comment-3052170-20131022051218

You can't deny that this is one of the very few pastas that deserved month status. I'm not going to sit here and praise it, because there's nothing I can add to the positive discussion already. However I do feel the need to highlight several minor grievances that prevent a 10/10 being awarded to this.

Firstly I believe there's simply too many plot points put on the table for us to digest. Unexplored/ intentionally ambiguous plot points include the beast itself, the perfect tunnel leading underground, the origin of the cave itself, how the cave naturally closed shut except for their opening, and finally the ending. The fact that the narrator feels compelled to go back down is simply stupid.

While I do understand that such open-ended plot points serve to create immersion and reflecting from the responder, the same magnitude of effect would of been achieved by streamlining the number of questions by half or so.

As we all know though, these are minor flaws that fail to tarnish an otherwise incredible pasta from way back when. 9/10.
