Judging this contest was a lot harder than expected. Not only was it difficult to find personal favourites in the contest as there are many great entries, but all the judges had very different opinions. But we finally managed to settle down with this winner list.

The contest originally had 2 categories (one bonus category with my handpuppet), but since the puppet category only got a few entries I decided to merge both categories into one.

And the winners are...

1st place: Widowmaker! (200k + 2nd year birthday present + Varesh minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2225

2nd: Winterzcall! (100k + 2nd year birthday present + Charr Shaman minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2227

3rd: Morag D! (75k + 1st year birthday present + Necrid Horseman minipet + Jungle Troll minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2241

4th: Perynne! (60k + 1st year birthday present + Necrid Horseman minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2217

5th: Haloghost! (55k + 1st year birthday present + One flute of +1 energy)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2235

6th: StarrTheInsane! (50k + Rat minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2221

7th: Tzu! (45k + Pig minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2223

8th: Ero Chrono! (40k + Devourer minipet + One red iris flower)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2233

9th: Elite Zeon! (25k + Devourer minipet)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2231

10th: Redstar, Magna Carta, Minelle Tempest and Owoc (20k each)
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2219
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2237
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2239
http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2214

And a final entry worth mentioning is Winterzcall's second entry: http://www.tzarsectus.com/gallery/ma...g2_itemId=2229 (we could only choose one entry per contestant, but choosing between winterzcall's 2 entries wasn't easy at at all as they are both really good)

---------------

Congratulations to all the winners! We'll hold a little event giving out all the prizes to the winners on Saturday (26th April) at 14:00 (2PM) UTC in Lion's Arch International District 1.

I'm sorry if that time is an inconvenience, but I had to choose a time where I knew all the judges could attend as well.

If anyone won't get the chance to attend the event, just send me a message ingame (my ingame nick is Sanra Sprinkleworth) and I'll give you the prizes.

If all the winners could post in this thread with their ingame nick (or send me a PM with that nick), that would good. That way I can confirm who you are, and I won't have random people saying "Hi, I is winner. I can has all prizes? ^,^".

Also, there's the extra optional prize in the big old bag of prizes. If any of the winners woud like anything from this list just let me know: http://www.tzarsectus.com/contest/REWARDS.txt

Once again, congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everybody who entered the contest!

Congrats Widowmaker, and everyone ^^.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it

due to school and it's too early for me.

My IGN is Tsuka Hayami.

StarrTheInsane · Apr 22, 2008, 03:47 AM // 03:47

ROCK ON! I don't have a rat yet!!!

Edit: Oh yeah, I'll be on as Grim Mortbane for the LA party

Widowmaker · Apr 22, 2008, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Thank you

. Wow, I never thought I was even in the running.

Thank you so much to all the judges and a special thank you to whoever was the judge who did the most hitting with the biggest stick.

*Does a happy dance*

Morag D · Apr 22, 2008, 07:17 AM // 07:17

congrats widowmaker, awesome work!

wooot!

yay!

so I gather that UTC is the same as GMT, which is good cuz that means no calculation for me

but is that with or without daylight savings? that always confuses me...

btw, I'd like Kerrsh's Staff, if that's ok

UTC is never affected by daylight savings while GMT is. I think that's how it works anyway. Timezones can be so confusing, especially with daylight savings...

Okie, I've written down that the Kerrsh's Staff goes to you. Let me know if you want anything else from the list.

RedStar · Apr 22, 2008, 08:00 AM // 08:00

Could I have Galigord's Stone Scroll, if you still have it ? please ^^.

Fenryl · Apr 22, 2008, 08:03 AM // 08:03

Grats everyone ... you all did a great job

I really like what you did Perynne ^^

Gah, I just checked and unfortunately the Kerrsh's Staff isn't available anymore. Sorry about that. If there's anything else you want instead, let me know.

Since there were so few Fluffy entries they got merged with the main list. So I combined the prizes from the main list and the fluffy list into one.

And yeah, if you're UTC+8 that means it'll be 10 pm for you.

Owoc · Apr 22, 2008, 12:47 PM // 12:47

I'll be on the party
<--- ign
Can I have Strongroot's Shelter please?

I have a spare Kerrsh's Staff to give if it helps.

Myself, I'm torn between Mallyx Savagery and Scepter of the Keeper (my main on account 1 is a dervish, my main on account 2 is a necro).

But if anyone else really needs either of those, that will make the decision for me.

And congrats to the winner! Awesome drawings from everyone, I'm sure it was a very hard choice to put them in some kind of order.

I'll try to make it on Saturday, so far there's nothing that will keep me away.

Tzu · Apr 22, 2008, 05:37 PM // 17:37

If you're willing to give away that Kerrsh's Staff that would be appreciated. I've written you down for Mallyx Savagery and Scepter of the Keeper by the way.

Galigord's Stone Scroll
Icy Blade Axe Of Enchanting

Strongroot's Shelter
Thornbeards Horned Bow
Korens Hornbow
Sundering Azure Recurve Bow Of Fortitude

If anyone wants any items (even if you're already picked some) from the list which hasn't been selected yet, let me know!

Tender Wolf · Apr 23, 2008, 02:02 AM // 02:02

Congrats everyone! Truly impressive pictures. Wish I could do that. lol I'll see if I can attend the party too, depending on when the TMW party is going on.

Morag D · Apr 23, 2008, 06:55 AM // 06:55

no worries about that staff, its really just for my heros as I hardly play anything but paragon anyway. I could just as well do with, say, Kanaxai's Mallet or the Skybringer. whatever
