Thank you for all those who came to our event

Despite an Anet upgrade in the middle of the event and my internet problems caused by an electrical storm earlier in the day that knocked out my wireless connection...
We hope you had a good time and managed to win something

Although some party poopers tried to spoil the event by claiming I was scamming people (I scammed nobody - and when one person offered more than the prize was worth I told them to find something cheaper to trade)

I gave out over 200k in prizes in return for correct answers and items of little value.

The event ended with over 1,000 mini fireworks (sparklers, rockets, and champagne poppers) and the snowman bombing of ice tooth cave with 400 snowman summoners.

For those who missed our finale for whatever reason here is some video footage of the end:

Yes, we were inspired by Ghosts of Faith - cool video guys - copying is the highest flattery we can give you.

The Winner of the 100k cash prize was Alastair Res of [ESP] guild - congratulations

It took me by surprise how fast people were able to spell 'Eternity' with cheap items in guildwars - the only Y I could think of at the time of creating the 100k plus runner-up prizes was yeti items - well done for quick thinking in producing a yule tonic - as did all the runner-ups
