Nice job, Ruhn! Thanks for organizing this and getting in contact with her.

That's so great that she seems really interested in our 10 hour fort challenge.

And great work on your forts, everyone!

It's hard to choose just one.. And I'm actually just having too much fun exploring everyone's saved forts right now.    There's a lot of variety, and when I look beneath all the corpses, blood, and undead denizens, I get a lot of new ideas for my own designs.

[Mishrak]

When's the voting deadline by the way?  I forget.

[Ruhn]

When's the voting deadline by the way?  I forget.

If we set one I've lost track, so let's give it a final 24 hours.

[Mishrak]

In re-reading her email: When we do actually submit one (or however many) to Casey, I'll be glad to help her interpret them.  I'm no Captain Duck, but if I actually devote time to really focusing on a write-up/tutorial, I can do good job of it.  There may be some folks better suited to it here than me, but I'm willing to help.  Or at least help her learn the game, if she wants to play it more.

I'd love to see her post a series of articles over a period of time where she actually is able to get things done in the game as a result of our helping her learn it.

Congratulations to our Grand Prize winner Thatdude, and runner-up Mishrak!

This is a Grand Prize.  All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality.  It is encircled with bands of silver and shark leather.  This object is adorned with hanging rings of goblin bone and menaces with spikes of Adamantine, gold, and star sapphire.  On the item is an image of an elf in oak.  The elf is burning.  On the item is an image of ThatDude in Adamantine.  ThatDude is surrounded by the bay12 members.  The artwork relates to the awarding of the 10 Hour Grand Prize to ThatDude in 2013.

I will get an email sent to Casey with links for the winning forts and writeups.

[Mishrak]

Well done guys   Thanks to everyone for participating.  Some really great forts here.

[Thatdude]

Wait, I won? I missed the voting and it's bugged out now so I can't see just how many votes were passed. Shame, I would have voted for Gigaz because his dam was awesome to see.

But thank you guys. I didn't expect to win to be honest  . I guess my prize is the right to sig the "Grand Prize".

Also, when will the voting for the other categorys start

[Ruhn]

I'll have to go through and see which forts qualify for the other prizes.
The mega projects one should have enough submissions, but I'm not sure about all the others.

What does everyone think about opening up submissions again?

Edit: poll results are fixed now, thanks for pointing out dude.

[flabort]

Hey, third-to-fifth place for best fort. Out of 8 people, that's not bad.
So, shall voting for the other categories commence? 
Congrats, Thatdude, First Place is quite an accomplishment in any challenge.

[Ruhn]

Come one, come all and place your vote for the best Mega Project in a 10 Hour Fort.

This is based just on the fort save, and everyone is included since definitions of what constructions would qualify surely vary in the community.

[Mishrak]

It was a tough call between Thatdude's really cool above ground setup (and graveyard) and Vjek's all masterwork gold bedrooms.  I picked Vjek's though, because that much masterwork gold is pretty amazing.  Also 1 well per room?  Seriously?  I need to d/l the fort and see the piping network underground there

[Ruhn]

Let's continue the Megaproject voting to Wed 3/27.

Also, looks like we will have 4 forts for the dangerous area voting.
Gigaz, do you have any stories of danger and terror from the nearby necro tower?

I hope we represented the game well. 

When the emails stopped a couple weeks ago, I assumed we had tl;dr'd her to death, but I guess not.  Hooray. 

[flabort]

Woohoo! We were mentioned! She even... uh... I lost my train of thought. She did a sequel article, though, and we were featured! 

... The user comments are a bit more negative then the ones on the original article. 

[Mishrak]

The comments are dumb anyway.  Haters gonna hate.
