Will winners be announced before Friday night?

if I don't win, I gotta pre-order my Cyclops after all.

Sorry, my memory was wrong.

PGI shared the contest on Twitter:

In the words of Futurama's Tiny Tim, "You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!"

The PGI tweet is still cool, no doubt, but now I have something to shoot for on the next attempt!


I completely understand about the request BZArcher and I've already got my picks in mind, but I think the other judges are still reviewing the entries. I'll try to get in touch with them later today to see how that's going.

No worries. Thank you for this!

Heya!

Sorry for the delay on winner announcements, It's busy Tournament prep weeks lately, however I got a couple Devs who are super interested and hyped to take part reading the entires though and would like to take their time over the weekend to do so and make their votes too.

I hope this is okay with everyone, on side note, if you've already purchased the cyclops for early adopter purposes and then win as first place, that's totally no problem, we can refund it if you're the one who's won it.
Thank you very much and big thanks to Aranzor for putting this event together and being patient with me!

[BZArcher]

Thanks for the update, Tina! Guess I'm gonna go cover my bases in the store.

Same, quite excited. But I have to wait until Thursday??

[Ibrandul Mike]

oh sorry, Tuesday ... why do I get those two mixed up every time ...

And I don´t think on Monday because of the holiday in Canada.

Ah, no worries. And I didn't realize it's a holiday in Canada. (Dumb American here.)

[Ibrandul Mike]

*looks at the date* Maybe Thursday will not be the wrong day

If it is maybe I am a clairvoyant?

[TygerLily]

Hmm I don't remember seeing a Tuesday date in the first place... Eh, read when they're read, right? =)

[Blind Baku]

Waiting for the rulings so much antici...

[BZArcher]

Here's hoping Tina tosses a few cases of Bawls at the devs to speed things up.

[TygerLily]

[Aranzor]

Thy demands have been heard!

After much deliberation, we finally have our winners! (I cannot hit that high note Tina uses when she says it, so tough luck there)


1st Place ............. BZArcher
2nd Place............. Highlighter
3rd Place.............. Karl Streiger

Congratulations to you all! Please contact me in private for further instructions!

Furthermore, I will be learning from this process in order to run at least one to two more contests this summer, so be on the lookout for them! I still haven't decided just what they will be yet but once I have that figured out I shall return!

[Ibrandul Mike]

Congratulations to all the winners!

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Congrats!

[TygerLily]

Congrats!

[Karl Streiger]

Congrats to the winners and of course all other competitors. I think I can say nobody did it because of the prices but because we like BattleTech, and your stories are proof enough.
Thanks for the kind words Lily and that the story happened right at the door steps of PGI was a coincidence. Wasn't my first BT story that played on earth, but it was my first I've written in English so I surprised to get such a good ranking.

Special thanks to Ibrandul without him I wouldn't have participated, and of course thanks to you Arzanor for the idea of this contest.
