CoNtest 2006 - The Resolution

Posted on Saturday 9th December 2006 at 04:56 by laszlow

First of all, thanks everyone that took part in our little CoNtest. We had around two dozen entries, with some of them surprisingly close and some of them hilariously off-course. In any case, we had two entries in particular that came awfully close to a perfect four for four. So, I hereby offer heartiest of congratulations to...

Zeromus_X and Nytecrawla!

Both users guessed two correct and had a third guess that was one of the four fakes in the wrong place. No users had more than two correct answers. Still, in any case, both Nytecrawla and Zeromus_X each earned twenty dollars in the form of an amazon.com gift certificate! If there had been a single winner or if the winning entries had been more correct the prize probably would have been greater, but hey, it's twenty bucks! What's not to love?

Also, the staff members of Caves of Narshe would like to thank all of the participants and other interested parties. We had a blast conducting this CoNtest (mostly laughing at the antics of the four fakes) and you can probably expect a new CoNtest sometime next year, but not one like this. Seriously, we'll probably never be able to pull this off ever again now that all of you have experienced it.

And yes, I know what you guys want to hear. Who exactly were those four? Which staff members went incognito? Well, we'll let them tell you themselves. Keep an eye on this thread for the final posts of chou, kimono=

=kitsune, Inque, and Green Mage for the truth!

Zeromus_X	Comment 3: 2006-12-09 05:24
	Oh wow! I can't believe that I actually guessed some of them right! Although, I just had a feeling karasu was chou.

	Wow! Chou was made up! So cool! Was this character based on a real person by any chance? Cool entertainment there anyway, hehehe.

You also can't change your name. 4. Or be a mod. 5. Lurn 2 tpy plz kthx 6. The next person who says 'kitten sith' dies. 7. If you want an FF8 section, build your own site and make it yourself. 8. Seriously, no, you can't have a custom avatar! 1. Chou worked on getting that 2. N / A 3. N / A 4. Chou became a mod 5. Chou had troubles spelling and doing proper grammar. 6. N / A 7. N / A 8. well! Besides that, it was you mentioning that you were certain chou was fake... all this evidence =) I would never have guessed kimono, as i havent read many of neals posts, though i did study the posts of kimono, pure cuteness Well, hope youll do other exciting contests in the future, ill participate for sure
Inque	Comment 8: 2006-12-09 14:05
	Hello I am Inque and my English Teacher told me to Always make capitals for every Important Words. Especially remember Names like Inque, Rangers51, and Iaszlow. Except it's actually laszlow. With a lowercase L.

	Quote (karasuman @ 9th December 2006 05:01) i am chou. hear me roar. Whoa...I couldn't have guessed that, but somehow I'm not surprised. Just out of curiosity, did you make up a character to base chou on or did you just write his absurd comments on the fly?
Green Mage	Comment 10: 2006-12-09 14:25
	WHAT?!?!?!?!?! I go away for a few weeks and evryoen says i'm a fake being controlled by a staff member?! Oh well, amusing whilst it lasted, like Heart of Midlothian posing a real challenge to the Old Firm and St. Mirren on top of the table. So... Who was Green Mage? Who, indeed. Unless one is riding reading bold backwards downhill on a s led, may I give you the answer? <--- No? Pity... I'm Sparticus, and the walrus was Paul.

I'm Sparticus, and the walrus was Paul. Clever, Del. Because of lousy timing I never was able to participate in this contest, but if I had, you'd have been my pick for GM. Quote Wow! Chou was made up! So cool! Yes truly, now if only there was a second secret contest going on... ^_-
Nytecrawla	Comment 12: 2006-12-09 15:22
	Yesssss! So I had chou and GM? I think I had Del, Neal and I know I picked Karu for chou. I think I had R51 instead of lasz on my list though. This was a great CoNtest, and hopefully the antics will be ever better for next years. I plan on being around for it, that's for sure.
Barrylocke	Comment 13: 2006-12-09 15:42
	Nice job guys. This was the most fun in a while, but I kinda still wish that chou was real.
Gears	Comment 14: 2006-12-09 15:52
	Augh! I had one right (Neal) and two in the wrong place (lasz and Karasuman.) So close...
King Eddy	Comment 15: 2006-12-09 18:01
	Too bad you guys probably won't be able to do this again, with all of us being on the lookout for fake people and all. It was hilarious! I never expected chou to be karasuman! I can't believe that I actually thought that chou was real for a while there (I came to the conclusion he wasn't later) and I even tried to make him feel better about not being a very good mod. I feel like such an idiot! Way to go guys!
