Before I announce the winners, note that there were only 24 votes cast, s there were several ties. My tiebreaker procedure was to personally cast the deciding vote for my choice among those entries that tied, discounting those that won a clear majority in another category. I'd like to spread the winning around, you know?
So without further delay, ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the Screen Name Prestige Class Contest:
Best Warrior Class (mechanics and flavor):
This was the biggest landslide, with a clear winner getting 10 out of the 24 votes cast: Kazdaran Wolfriders of Gorbash's Hunt (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920238 85) by Gorbash Kazdar.
Best Spellcaster Class (mechanics and flavor):
A much closer contest, with The Grand Scorpina (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920250 58) by Scorpina pulling out only 4 votes (but still beating three other classes with 3 votes each).
Best Skill-User Class (mechanics and flavor):
The Guessmith (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920252 43) walks away with it, with 8 votes.
Best Flavor/Introductory Text:
This category had a three way tie between Gorbash Kazdar, Guessmith, and Ikkitosen, but I break ties around here, and I say the Ikkitosen (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920239 31) by Ikkitosen.
Best Articulation of the Screen Name Theme:
Another close category, with 12 entries splitting 24 votes. A four-way tie between Alarra, Gorbash, Guessmith, and Mohkomancer. I choose Mohkomancer (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920244 25), by Mohko
Funniest Class:
A win here for Petey the Frog Boy and his Disciple of Petey the Frog Boy (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920242 17) with 6 votes.
And now the big prize...
Most Likely to be Used in an Actual Campaign:
Interestingly, this category had the most number of vote-getters, with 16 entries getting votes. There was a massive six-way tie between Alarra, Elays, Gilgamesh, Gorbash Kazdar, and Ikkitosen. But once again, I cast the tie-breaker, and I chose:
The Alarran Dreamwalker (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920240 40) by Alarra!
Finally, the Website Staff Award was a clear favorite:
Kazdaran Wolfriders of Gorbash's Hunt (http://www.GiantITP.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Contests;action=display;num=10920238 85) by Gorbash Kazdar.
Congratulations to all the winners, and stay tuned for the next contest!
