Re: Create a Puzzle Pirates Commercial video! Win a Familiar!

The results!

An amazing number of entries, and again such skill! We so much enjoyed watching these and judging them - whether it was screenshots or animation or live action or lego, you did brilliantly! This was judged by the OceanMasters, by the Ringers in the office, and by the dashing Captain Cleaver himself.

Here they are, then. First the category winners, then the overall winner, then the honorable mentions.

Best Live Action:
Winner:
Kingpriam (Midnight). Linky. (parrot awarded)
Runner-up:
Frubert & co (Viridian). linky (elephant awarded)

Best User-Created:
Winner:
Shantybones (Midnight). linky (Need prize choice)
Runner-up:
Cae (Midnight). linky (tortoise awarded)

Best Game Art Use:
Winner:
Osira (Viridian). linky (parrot awarded)
Runner-up:
Satin (Cobalt). linky (Stone figurine awarded)

Best Script:
Winner:
Frubert & co (Viridian). linky (octopus awarded)

Overall Winner
The overall winner was chosen from the four category winners shown above.
The final decision was Osira's Talk Like a Pirate! Nicely laid out graphics,
great script, overall really nicely finished entry! Osira wins $250 in addition to the in-game prize. (Parrot awarded)

Prizes
Category winners win a fancy ribbon and their first choice from the following prize list:

* Familiar (any color familiar for the overall winner, tan familiar for the other three category winners)
* Sleeping animal (pig/piglet/turtle/tortoise)
* Pet (see available options at a Palace Shoppe near you!)
* Rare furniture item (click from this list to see tabletop and wall furniture that isn't normally available)
* Any hat in any color(s) (except savvy hat)

Category runners-up win a fancy ribbon and the second choice from the above prize list once the category winners have selected.

Would category winners please post in this thread to indicate which prize they are choosing, and then PM me their exact choice. Runners-up can then post their choices after the winners, and likewise PM me their exact choice.

Honorable Mentions

Awood (Midnight). linky
Bisquick (Midnight). linky
Conall (Midnight). linky
Darkviper (Cobalt). linky and linky
Escape (Cobalt). linky
Frubert & co (Viridian). linky
Hornitoad (Cobalt). linky and linky
Hungrypirate (Viridian). linky
Iago (Sage). linky
Lokijki - (Midnight) linky
masta13 (please provide pirate name and ocean) linky
Mogget (Midnight). linky
Muffbeard (Cobalt). linky and linky
Osira (Viridian). linky
Pareia (Viridian). linky and linky
Razorwench (Sage). linky
Redfly (Viridian). linky

Rhyf (Sage). linky
Saken (Viridian). linky
Satin (Cobalt). linky
Shadowwalker (Viridian). linky
Synful (Hunter). linky
Tamtia (Sage). linky
Tippler (Cobalt). linky

All honorable mentions will receive a flower trinket.

I will be awarding all prizes (other than those requiring a PM) later this afternoon.

We've not been able to award prizes to everyone. There weren't any bad entries, though - so congratulations to everyone, and if you didn't win this one, keep trying in the next one! The high quality of entries (especially those that were good in more than one category, and especially those people who produced more than one excellent entry) made the judging both difficult and enjoyable!

Thank you to all my fellow OMs and Ringers who helped with the judging, thank you to those helpful people who posted technical advice in this thread to help less experienced players, thank you for the good humor and patience, and thank YOU all for participating.

Apollo.

Re: Create a Puzzle Pirates Commercial video! Win a Familiar!

lol, KP, I think I prefer reading your response than actually winning a tan familiar myself.

Congrats to all of the winners :) I believed I linked most of yours in my crew forums as "of interest" right before the contest closed. I'm glad my votes for the winners were very close to the actual results...I'm definitely not disappointed (even though I seem to be building this collection of flowers....).

Re: Create a Puzzle Pirates Commercial video! Win a Familiar!

congrats to the winner, Althought I think shantbones should have won.
Please note the following is my opinion and I just want to air it.

Yet again I believe those who put least effot in seem to win.
I dont know if I'm going to bother anymore, I've seen some amazing entries that dont even get anything for the effort. Dont get me wrong I think the comps are great, but I do think the judging leave something to be desired... I just cant understand HOW some of the enteries in these comp even get a mentoin.

I'm not being sore because I didnt win, as I didnt expect to because there were some quality entries.

I'm gonna go and cool down now.

Good luck with your furture comps, I'll have to see what happens.

Again congrats to the winners enjoy your prizes, and dont squander it.

/me takes a bow and leaves the room.

Re: Create a Puzzle Pirates Commercial video! Win a Familiar!

That was pretty hotheaded, DV.

When it comes to judging artistic events (especially where there aren't any definite criteria to grade by), everyone's individual tastes are going to come into play heavily. Just because the judging didn't agree with your tastes (and not by a lot, because Shanty was in the final four) doesn't mean that it's been poorly done. I don't know how they run their judging, but in the drum competitions I'd go to back in high school, if you came up 2nd - 4th place on all the judges lists, you'd win 1st, because every judge would have their own favorites.

Hell, if they'd let me decide this contest, I probably would've given the whole thing to Muffbeard's "More Fun than Clubbing" because it was the only entry that really made me laugh. And that's the kind of thing that could mess up the judging if it was weighted by all the voter's scores for various entries.

It would be cool though, if in future events like this, they made the scores/votes public, (leaving the judges anonymous so no one gets message griefed), so we could see why things turned out the way they did.
