I'm working on finding an Instrumental version of the Gilligan's island theme, but so far, no dice. If I find it, I'll throw something together for you. I won't post it until after 9 Eastern, so it won't be an entry in the contest. It will just be a gift from me to you. :)
These are all great. It would be a shame if everyone who entered didn't win something. Tell you what, how about a last minute rules change? How about we make it so at the very least, everyone who entered gets atleast 1 free month Ascendant Membership?
Also, how about if we have a vote off where the community as a whole can vote for the best 6 entries to see who the grand prize winner is? And the 5 who aren't the grand prize winners can get 3 months of Ascendant Membership for free?
That sounds great!! Thanks. :) I was also blown away by the obviously huge effort that people put into their submissions. I had a lot of fun checking them out over the days. My only regret is that I have the Squidgirl song stuck in my head! j.k.
I'm all for that. Being as an Ascendent member anyway and being the only GM in my group I pose this question. If someone is not a GM and cannot use the asecendency membership, can it be transferred to another person? Also, I would hope that more people than just the people who submitted the entries are the ones voting. :)
So we're going to put up the voting link now. If you left an entry in here, send an email to [email protected] with the subject "I WON A FREE MONTH OF ASCENDANT MEMBERSHIP FROM SQUIDGIRL!". Don't forget to include your Obsidian Portal username in the body!
Volks, old buddy, I'm goose-eggs on the Gilligan's Island Instrumental Version hunt. I will attempt to look again tomorrow. For now? I need to decide who my votes will go to. Hint: I take bribes. Double-mega-hint: Pie is a great bribe.
I owe the good folks in this thread an apology. I'm sorry for screwing up the prize distribution. In the original blog post I said that our 5 winners would come from each category. And then I totally forgot that part of the contest when we came up with the plan for the community to vote for the top 6. I'm sorry. I don't want the folks who all put in a tremendous effort to think that we ignored them or their entries. They are wonderful, and I see it as a personal failure that we don't have one of each listed among the final 5.
It was a mistake on my part that came from being both over-eager and absent minded, and it won't happen again. I will see to it that we live by the letter of our rules for future contests, and I hope that that I haven't put anyone off of future participation.
Let me also restate that everyone who has entered the contest has won at least 1 free month of Ascendant Membership, so no one goes away without something to show for their efforts.
We have a winner! Congrats to Duskreign for your Grand Prize winning entry of The SquidGirl! We'll break down the voting in a future blog post. If you were a finalist, be sure to send a PM to Micah with the subject I WAS A SQUIDGIRL FINALIST AND I WON 3 MONTHS OF ASCENDANT MEMBERSHIP! And to include the user name of the account you want to get the membership.

Awesome lyrics, btw!
WOW

Hows that sound?
I think I'm okay with that plan, autumnschild. But I am curious to know who you all would've picked as well.
Also, yes the Ascendant Memberships are transferable :)
Autumnschild, Autumnschild, Autumnschild... I think I like pie-bribes a _little_ more than you.
(I just realized that the Pie-God has returned! DAMN YOU, RASE CIDRAEN AND YOUR BRIEF MENTIONINGS OF PIE DEITIES IN A THREAD OVER A MONTH AGO!)
