I think that was the closest contest we've had in a long while. Congratulations go out to the winners of the Twenty-Fifth RPG Forum Contest:

• Violet Orange Trouble Evolved 4: Kings and Lunatics - Kal the Guardian
• Hunted - Kal Grochi
• The Light Meets the Dark - Toa Levacius Zehvor (Withdrawn)
• The Dark and the Dead - Lord of Adders Black

Thank you everyone for entering, reviewing, voting, and otherwise supporting this contest. We'll be back in two months with the next one!

As usual, winners from the last contest have until next weekend or so to wrap things up.

Congrats to the winners! Sad that Dark and the Dead didn't make the tiebreaker, but at least I've got Violet Orange!

Time to begin re-imagining my character!

[Basilisk]

Time to make some character profiles then. Hm. Let's draw some inspiration from the Sith, add in some Xanatos and mix for five minutes...

[Dallas Winston]

Really wish The Dark and the Dead had made the tiebreaker...

I didn't really feel any of the winners, so I probably won't be joining into them. But congrats, anyway!

-Teezy

[The Giant Space Butterfly]

To be honest I would have prefered The Dark and The Dead too. It was really very interesting... But still, congrats to the winners. I'm just gonna go make a few more chars for Hunted.

Current character count:

VOTE 4: KaL - 5

Hunted - 2

TLMtD - 1

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

I feel like dancing.

Instead, I made the topics for my RPG.

Have fun folks.

[Kal the Guardian]

Congrats to all!

Either way the tie went, I'm still in a bind. Normally I would just RP in my own RPG or one of my choosing, but all of these are so good that I might end up joining them all and stretching myself too far. But this is a good problem, and one I shall tackle as best I can.

Congrats to all the winners!
I'll probably end up playing all of them, so I'll be busy.
Woohoo!

[Grantaire]

Yes!

Hunted!<3

Only RPG I'm playing this time around.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

I did not expect to win the tiebreaker. I do, however, still want to know what the hat was. :|

Congratulations to the other winners, and to TPTI, as I had voted for Dark and the Dead in the finals and had looked forward to seeing how long I could beat out everyone else survive. I hope you decided to reenter that next contest.

[Half a Cup of EW]

I was only planning on playing tDatD, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope it's re-entered. Congratulations to all the winners!

[Lord of Adders Black]

I think this is the second time I've been in and then lost a tie-breaker
No hard feeling though, congrats to you all. No really, I'm not bothered. This in my hands? Just a harmless vegetable knife, I'm peeling potatoes, honest

[Basilisk]

Incidentally Adder, do you know there was a swamp near here? A swamp where a large and organic object might decay quickly in?

The more you know eh?

[Black Six]

Toa Levacius Zehvor has retracted his entry, so Lords of Adders Black with be taking his spot as our third place winner.

[ZHX]

Wait, what?

[Kal the Guardian]

Well this is unexpected.

[Burnmad: Toa of Emoticons]

Well dang, I was just about to join.

[The Snark Knight]

Huh. Didn't see that one coming.

[Randy Disher]

Oh yay, the only RPG that I had joined was retracted. I wonder why, though.

[Hurricane iBrow]

Oh darn, now I'm gonna be in all three RPGs... life = gone.
Well, sorry to Levacius for the circumstances that caused this, congrats to Lord of Adders Black!

Hooray *dances a jig*

[The Lorax]

I'm blown away by this. The RPG seemed to be starting out so well too.

Oh well, surely Levacius would have had his reasons.

[TX Wade]

Darn, I was enjoying that RPG...oh well.

[Cosmic Titan]

Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks to everyone who read my RPG and a even bigger thanks to all those who voted for Otherworld.

[Dreadheart]

Lev has retracted his RPG?

This is... unexpected.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

This post was for this morning, but BZP was being like a turtle. So, from my clipboard -

Yeah. I've been mulling it over, and I don't really have enough time real world to keep up with the RPG the way I intended. Not to mention the fact that a few more additions to my day have been coming up. I could probably run something like Waves of the South, because it was designed to be more in the hands of the players. But not this one. At least, if I wanted to stay true to its purpose.


So, yeah. If The Dark and the Dead is nearly as enjoyable as IoP, then I have no doubt this contest is definitely going to have three great RPGs.

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[ZHX]

Oh. Time constraints. That's why.

[Hurricane iBrow]

I figured time constraints of some kind, but I hope you don't finish off Waves of the South and then discover you have the time you needed. >.>

Oh, Waves is still a long way from completion. LMTD was designed to be snapped through quickly, with a lot more action and excitement. The finale, for reference, was going to be the Beast attacking Sumonu-Metru itself and getting defeated by the players in an epic, week long fight. But Waves wasn't designed for epic struggles between good and evil, it was.... well...

Heh. You guys never really did find out the story, did you?

-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Half a Cup of EW]

I was really looking forward to the whole Morality Meter function in particular, so I'm sad to see LMTD go. But I hope you'll run it again some other time (only now you'll have to change the finale ).

[The Lorax]

Why on earth would you change something like that? It would have been a battle to remember, that's for sure. So what if people know the ending? It's still awesome.

The morality meter was an interesting device as well, even though nobody ever got to advance either way. If LMtD was entered again next contest, it would (probably) still have my vote.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

The problem with the morality meter is that it couldn't really work properly in LMTD, because it was a one season wonder. The system was designed to be implemented with a huge setting where players would be fighting an 800 foot long dragon on a weekly basis. Such an RPG would also be designed for multiple seasons, not just one.

Now, Waves on the other hand is a trilogy. It's ending won't be a climatic battle of an army of players against a singular entity of evil. It'll be a much better. Of course, it all boils down to what players do.

[The Giant Space Butterfly]

Karz, now I'm thinking about joining Waves...
