shallara Report post Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) After an inventory check, Contestants were led to secluded places and shown to three hyperspace bags FULL of raw ingredients with one hint given. "Rounder's, you spend your time outfitting friends and fighters, advancing your skills and knowledge with every update. You each will have a set of ingredients. It is up to you to make what you will of them." We were looking for armor, essence, potions, rings and/or medallions. Quantity AND diversity. The scoring process was very complicated and time consuming on all parts. Many thank you's to my fellow judges Aduard, Ferny, and MilesP, without whom this would have been impossible to pull off. As well as members of Riva and Tech guilds for help completing the prize packs. The final scoring is: CelticLady 1037 ermabwed 1023 Queens 1023 lilbear 910 scafativ 831 maxine 753 walt_her 745 niemand 699 firehand 662 jezebelle 574 Congratz to all participants. Winners will be contacted in order of placement to choose their prize Edited September 16, 2007 by shallara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jezebelle Report post Posted September 16, 2007 Thank you all for organizing this, it was great! And as always, I am lousy in calculating, lol..ask my family, i always mess up with guildprojects as well In fact, im much like my father irl; he takes machines apart, puts them back together and always has leftover parts..haha!

Maxine Report post Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks for a great contest, a puzzle as well as a test of skill. I had fun making stuff I had forgotten about, showed me how much I got in a rut of always making the same stuff. Great fun and well organised. Maxine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember more I'll post it, but I'm kind of brain-drained right now and super happy with my fourth place! lilbear *does the fourth place dance* Edit: Shally brought an extra 10 blue lupine to those who wanted/needed them, so we had 20 then. Could have used just a little more coal! Edited September 16, 2007 by LilBear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BethAhabah Report post Posted September 17, 2007 Hi Shallara, It was a great contest! I've watched it, sitting next to 'niemand' behind the computer. Even just watching was very enjoyable and fun. Hope to be able to be in a contest like that someday ... soon ... Best wishes, BethAhabah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aduard Report post Posted September 17, 2007 I enjoyed judging in this contest as well - getting to see the behind-the-scenes action as well as the contestants' efforts was great fun and enlightening. The organizers put in a tremendous amount of effort and it really showed in how smoothly it went off Congratulations again to all of you I'm ready for the next one (to help out - I can't handle that kind of stress with mixing ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
