The final round is now underway, again, sorry for the delay. This round will start immediately, and will run until 11:59pm GMT on 24 July, just to make sure that everyone has plenty of time. The final winners will be announced soon after, since I will probably be traveling for work on the 24th and 25th.
 This is the round that will determine the winners, folks, so give it your all. We're taking ten of our best performers from the second round to have a shot at the big prize; your finalists, alphabetically, are: alphasmart archetype Death Penalty Dragon_Fire FallingHeart Nytecrawla Sherick Shotgunnova Silver_Zombie The_Pink_Nu1 And then we added two bonus participants, footbigmike and MogMaster, due to the fact that they won the two other groups in the second round. So, there you have it, the top twelve folks going for the big prizes, totaling $60 in AmaCoN gift cards! If you're not in this list, though, make sure you participate in the final week anyway; anyone who participates this week can still be eligible for the $5 consolation prize. And, to help everyone out a little bit, we've updated the hint page to link to our last.fm pages. Once we finish up this last round, everyone will have a chance to take all the quizzes they weren't able to take as part of the actual contest, and we'll have score leaderboards too. And after that, who knows? We'll try to set something up for you! -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Quote You scored a pretty decent 4. Climmy will now enter it into the score database. I guess that won't be enough, but what the hell. Also, it didn't play me the 7th song, you'd better do something with it, because it played all the other songs perfectly well, so I guess it's not my computer's fault. -------------------- You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one... |

hmm...drat, a pathetic 2. Bang goes my chances then, I did well on the first rounds...
Out of interest how many people will get prizes? Is it like 1st, 2nd and 3rd plus the $5 consolation prize, or will there be more winners? *wants a prize deeply* Also, I'll be gone from friday up until the 6th August, so I won't find out the results until 2 weeks after they are announced -------------------- "Fire and steel follow me through the lands you will burn hordes of hell in the deadly raging flames of revenge" Rhapsody - Flames of Revenge |

Hooray for decent 5's and NED's superhuman/lucky guessing techniques to get it done in less than 3 mins or 4 mins or whatever! This white chocobo is on fire, baby.

Arr. I got 2 the first time, 1 the second, and 2 this time. I'm pathetic, evidently.
But $5 consolation prizes are always nice. -------------------- Squenix games completed: FFIII FFIV FFVI FFVII FFIX FFX FF Tactics: Advance 2 Chrono Trigger Dragon Quest 8 Dragon Quest 11 Super Mario RPG |

Quote Nytecrawla Posted on 16th July 2007 17:05 All I get are 3's!! Hey, 3's aren't that bad! The first time I got a 2, the second time I got a 2! I just bet you can guess what I made this time, right? I made a twee (3). Hey, I can't complain, I would have broke my computer if I ever got 2-2-2, but hey it's a jackpot, kinda.. -------------------- Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Chrsit for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost Acts 4:12 Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost |

Quote (Nytecrawla @ 16th July 2007 18:05) I may be taking third with a pathetic 3...All I get are 3's!! Wronnnnnnng! Anyway, eight of the final twelve have already taken it, so quickly! If everyone else finishes so rapidly, we'll probably know the final winners sooner than expected - but everyone will still have a chance to finish in the other group so we know who will get the consolation prize as well. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Nah, it just means I know some things I didn't before. The quiz remains open for all the time I mentioned in my first post. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

I know there are probably some of you waiting for news, so here's a brief rundown for now.
1. Yes, the contest is done and closed, it closed automatically at the time put in my first post in this thread. 2. Yes, I know who the winners are of all four prizes. 3. No, I won't tell you. The winners have been notified privately and I will announce it publicly once I hear back from all of them. 4. Yes, there will be more data for scoring and such so you can see how you did. Also, everyone, not just the original entrants, will get to play all the quizzes that you didn't get to before, probably in a week or so. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

So if I haven't received a PM from you, then it means I won nothing? That sucks ;)
But still, I enjoyed the competition. And I'm quite surprised I made it to the top ten before the last round even though I'm still quite new to the forums and I've never been to the CoN chat. It was fun, so I don't really care about not getting a prize ;) -------------------- You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one... |

It was all quite clear, the conditions for winning, in the initial pages. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |
