Wait a second...
:objection:
In the awards ceremony, it was clearly claimed that there were 36 prompts. However, as RiksKing pointed out earlier, there were actually 37 prompts (not counting Prompt 0). THESE RESULTS ARE INVALID!
Oh, yeah. Forgot to do this:
I humbly accept the award for best yandere, and feel obliged to mention that, had I been offered the award for Best Most Plant, I would not have accepted it, as RiksKing clearly deserved it more.

If I understand this right... was every other entry besides mine a first trial? If so, congratulations to RiksKing and Reecer as well. Actually, congratulations even if it wasn't your first trial. Nice job everyone... who submitted something. The rest of you are terrible human beings.

Thank you! I haven't seen your tree yet though,so I wouldn't really be able to tell.
I do feel to point out however, that the only thing Rinkkjs contributed to the case was that Talk to Plant conversation... so uhm, that's something.

Kinda funny indeed how this competition mainly consisted of newcomers, except you. Makes me wonder that if we joined later, (or in my case, a later competition) that there possibly would only be 1 entry. And you know, competitions with one entry aren't all that exciting.
I also like how the last one to join was the only complete entry.

You didn't have enough crack though, DWaM, which ruined the comp regardless. Gosh, DWaM, THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

Trust me, your case had the Best Most Plant. All my tree had was seemingly-unimportant-but-probably-critical-to-the-case-somehow evidence. And Trucy tried to lick it.

Like I said before, it seems that new guys are just better motivated to get stuff done than experienced veterans.
All in all, I met some new people, actually got started on a case that I've been meaning to do for a long time, built up some hype for it (and motivation to keep working on it) and finally manage to get myself back into trial-making. I'd say this comp was a success from my perspective.

Congratulations to calvinball. I'm excited to play his trial and to enter the next competition, realize I have 3 weeks, and drop out.

Update for everyone: calvinball and I have a theme, and we're putting together the thread. Because it's late for both of us, the new thread will probably be up tomorrow. So if any of you have anything left to say on this thread, say it now.
