Looks like I just missed the contest...I always enjoy writing exercises though.  I'll try to make the next one.

You still got a day

Today is the 30th!  Maybe I skipped over a post with the extension.

Oh well.  I'll give it some thought and if I get anything good in mind tonight I'll write it up and post.  Either way, I'll be better prepared for the next one.

I know it's not really my job, seeing as this is olaf's competition, but I'll just leave these here:



Quick 5 min job in paint, enjoy.

[Jack Sheehan]

I finished it! You can start the voting now if you like, or wait for anyone else. Entry in original post.

By the way, there are so many entries this time could we have a longish voting period? Say 2-3 days?

[olafmoriarty]

Okay, a little late, but let the voting begin! Two votes each.

You have two days to vote, so that should be Friday (October 3rd) at 8:45 AM GMT, right? If anyone really needs more time to read all the contributions, say so, but give it a try first.

And I was really intending to make some throphies, but DanielH's are so sheer awesomeness that I just have to use those instead.

Good luck, everybody!

The contestants are:
Bluke4x4: Warning forever
DanielH: Beneath a steel sky
Eggie: Rageball
Jack Sheehan: Dead rising
kaputtnik: Traffic department 2192
Krazy: Zworx
rock_chick: Runaway
TwinMoon: Sam 'n Max hit the road

Arrgh! Computer troubles, I can't check often. My votes go to Daniel H and TwinMoon. Kudos to everyone for making this one one of the most successful compos ever!

[TwinMoon]

Could you extend the voting to Friday 12:00 GMT?

[olafmoriarty]

No problem.

EDIT fifteen minutes before voting ends: My votes goes go Eggie's "Rageball" and DanielH's "Beneath a Steel Sky".

[TwinMoon]

Damn, there are three entries I really like: Dead Rising, Rageball & Warning Forever.

But if I have to choose I'll vote for Jack Sheehan and Eggie.

[olafmoriarty]

Okay, that means all votes are in...


The winner is DanielH
Shared second place: Bluke4x4, Eggie, Jack Sheehan and Krazy.
