Care, 16:00 in GMT. I missed this little information nearly a hour ago. So i think it's 80 minutes, not 20.

Damn you daylight saving time!!! :P

why is it called Greenwich Mean Time? Because it is mean!

unlees you enjoy eating Green sandwiches.

It's also an anagram form New Reg Time Machine. Time travel always screws everything up.

Halfway there....

Third Batch of Winners, Wednesday 11/05 2011:

Gold Award Winner:
Allukka

Entry:
“The Good Old Games is such a splendid place,
Here the community is just plain ace.
Each time it never ceases to amaze.

With such a glorious game now coming out
It makes the buzzing forum grow more loud.
The RPG that we've been waiting for
Creates anticipation in us all.
How to sing praise to such a grand event
Epic both in scope and also breadth?
Roll out the contest, let us celebrate!

2 win a prize I must think this thing straight...

A way to show you all that I indeed
So very, very much do this game need.
Something creative, with a little twist
And also humor thrown into the mix.
So with a pen I sat on my best stool
Sat there the whole day, from morn till noon.
Iambic meter quickly filled the page,
"Now", I thought, "this is mighty strange!"
Some weird pattern had appeared onstage.

Oh, look at the first letter of each line,
Focus on them, maybe write them down.

Keep your eye on how they seem to form
In conjunction, something we all know.
Name that every Gogger recognizes,
Gerald, that beloved womanizer...
So who will get all of those tasty prizes?”

"Solution (if needed): Look at the first letter of each line. Read the letters from top to bottom. They should form the title of a certain game..."

{The Jury quite enjoyed Allukka's great and intelligent rhyme, even including a hidden message down the line. So when it came to voting we pretty much agreed his prose was golden indeed}.

Silver Award Winner:
GameRager

Entry:
“Why do I need The Witcher 2? Let me count the ways upon which this brilliant gem set in the darkened environs of so much gaming dreck calls out to me....to touch it, to feel it, to KNOW it. To be able to able to follow 1 man as he fights & loves through such a breathtaking setting such as this. To live the duality of a man beset with two natures, one serious and bold, while the other lighthearted yet refined. To be a man thrice cursed by some who know him at time, and loved by the same even more so at others. A man of all four seasons, fighting to survive and carve his niche through each in turn as he makes his way through the world on a seemingly never-ending quest for honor, justice, love, revenge & knowledge. These 5 aspects and more guide him through the world and make me cling to his every move, to look for the hidden and the mundane in meaning in every step, every expression, every single word uttered. As if examining the masterpiece of all masterpieces in reverent joy & silence.

Why must I have this which is sure to be the next great role-playing masterpiece? One only need look into the heart, mind, and soul of Geralt of Rivia to know why I seek that which I do. “

{GameRager's entry created a bit of a stir in the Jury. Two of us wanted him to get Gold, two wanted silver. We debated it for a while like gentlemen do, but eventually had to bring in a fifth man to settle down on an award. He happens to be lawyer, and was watching something interesting on the TV when we came and interrupted him. So what he said was something a bit like: “Give that man Silver, or you'll all face litigation for civil unrest!” … Silver it is then!}

Bronze Award Winner:
Aningan

{Aningan's entry was an interesting picture of his facial expression when thinking about a certain women in The Witcher, which was also pictured in a separated upper right frame in a rather... revealing way. Sadly, he asked us to keep his entry private. Nevertheless, bronze it is.}

Skystrider, you are truly beyond awesome! :)

Thank you!

(PM sent.)

Guess i didn't won nothing... seeing that those who entered their entries close to mine are already picked. Anyway - good luck to those remaining, I'll attach my entry artwork if the author of this topic is ok with that, if not i'll make a new topic..

Congratulations to those who won so far and nice gesture from a witcher fan, I'm surprised that officials didn't do sometimes like this...

I assure you, that has nothing to do with how we pick our winners. Don't worry so soon; there are still five more winners to go in each category, and we are discussing options to maybe extend a few more gold awards by tuning down The White Wolf Award, maybe even split it in two. Surely, it is better to bring The Witcher 2 to more hands, than bring one big award to a single man.
Anyway, no announcement about that yet, but we will let you all know what we decide. :)

For now, everything can happen, so no-one (except the winners who are already announced, of course -ed.) should be too sure on either victory or defeat! Of course, we will give at least five more awards in each category as promised, and either a single big one or a few more gold ones beyond there. ;)

Thanks a lot!
The wait is over now, I just bought the Witcher 2 :D

Thanks to you, KavazovAngel, I am now a Kyau & Albert fan. That track is incredibly addictive, and their other work seems pretty good too.

You have good taste in music. Thank you for introducing this song to me.

All done. :D

And now for a tease for one of tomorrow's winner(s): this. The music more than the pictures anyway. ;)
