And The Results Are...

[Balmafula]

First of all, a big thank you to everybody who applied!


Alright, now here's the deal:

The 3 Judges' Pick applications are getting into the contest for sure. Congrats!

As for the other categories, the audience will vote for the 2 from each that will make it to the final 9. As far as voting goes, send me a PM ranking all of the apps in that category from 1-5 (or 4 for the Dewhurst Players) with 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. At the end of this period, we'll tally up the numbers and then we'll have ourselves a cast!

The deadline for audience votes is June 8th at midnight (EST)

For those of you who did not get in, please don't reveal yourselves yet! I'll let you know when everything is clear (probably around when the contest starts).

For those of you who DID get in, you will be getting an individual gmail and forum account. I will be sending that to you now. The Writer's forum will not be available until the rest of the 9 are chosen, though.

That's pretty much it! Any other questions, let me know.

I stickied this for ya, so there will be less confusion about what the next step is. :)

QUESTION.

I understand this is kind of like a game of golf, where characters with the lower strokes or vote totals are the ones to get in. What if I send in votes but neglect to include someone? Do they get an automatic 5 points, or are my votes thrown out because I didn't read directions?

[Balmafula]

I would probably send you a PM asking where the missing character's vote is.

[Balmafula]

And now, here we have our final cast for Mossflower Odyssey! Please welcome our top 9:

Vanessa
Gashrock
Goragula
Nyika
Istvan
Noonahootin
Risk
Poko
and last but not least, Zevka!

Again, a big thank you goes out to everybody who applied and reviewed! We had a lot of really talented writers and the competition was crazy.

[Rousseau]

Congratulations to the winners. Hope you guys can make a good story :)

I don't care what the numbers say! I AM TEAM VIST UNTIL THE DAY I DIE. **sniffle** I will cherish my glittery fangirl t-shirt always, Vist. Always. ;_;

But overall I'm excited about the cast! I think Vanessa, Istvan, and Noonahootin are going to be an incredibly diverse set of guards. I'm excited to see what they come up with together. I'm also excited to see how Gashrock the stickler reacts to Risk and Poko, who are erm, a little less than professional at times. Also I will be sad if Poko and Istvan never have an...incident. Can you say epic death post? Er, not that I'm wishing Poko dead already! I'm really not. I'm definitely waiting to see how the story goes before I start casting premature death votes! BUT YOU ALREADY HAVE AN AWESOME IDEA IF IT HAPPENS AND ISTVAN IS STILL AROUND. Ahem. I'll just move on now, shall I? As for merchants, Goragula, Nyika, and Zevka. Hmmm. I honestly really don't know how they'll all fit, but as they're all vermin, I hope it's something extra dastardly.

Anyway, I'm excited for this!!

[Aleisou]

Wow, what a great cast! Slightly disappointed to see some of my favourites missed out, but that's the way it goes I'm afraid. So excited for Nessie and Istvan (fwuffymustelidromance... No?) Poko and Risk? EWno. Doesn't bear thinking about. 

I need to go sort out the rest of those smileys now.

[Rexim]

This is quite a fantastic set of characters! This promises to be a wonderful and original story.

[Chokk Wulgar]

Whoa! Not what I was expecting but cheers to our cast! I'm looking forward to a great story!

[Risk]

My lawyer informs me that I am terribly, terribly sorry for that one line, and I owe 14? to everyone who has read it. Since I do not have the funds to do that, everyone gets a free peck on the cheek instead. With a knife.  :D Or one of these kerchiefs...

[TNT]

Well, it's good to know that that one line didn't sully your reputation enough to keep you out of the contest! I'm glad I get to read more of your writing, because it was very good. Really though, where in the world did that ever come from, good sir?? XP

Also, who wrote Vist? I have a couple of guesses, but still! I am dying to know who wrote my Visty. I must knowwww! :D

[Vanessa]

Nessie and Istvan???  :o No offence, but I rather think she'll try to punch him on his tatooed snout if he takes a step too near. But who knows, maybe they'll get to like each other.
