I believe it's 16:00 forum time or 4pm actually!

[The Scout]

Maybe we should cut it a few hours short? Like 1 or 2. I think we got everyone who's gonna do a haiku.

[mendonca]

Sounds good to me, I wondered if there would be confusion after I put down 'forum time' ... I just assumed it was set to Seattle or something, but as I feared and should have expected, it is different for everyone ...

I'm going out for a jog, and will call time on it when I get back, which should be about half an hour from now.

e: Gee whizz, should have checked my emails :- Alex at Fractal Softworks has matched my donation, we now have sixteen (16!) keys to give away to Bay12 .... wowsers.

Not an attempted second entry. Just a general "thanks" haiku. Thanks!

The end-time draws near.
All praise the generous ones!
Who'll win free space game?

Alex is matching your gift? That's just incredible! I'm seriously stunned by the generosity shown here.

Congratulations in advance to all the winners! Don't forget to give Alex and the Fractal Softworks fellows your feedback on the alpha once you've played it a bit. It really is a great game, even in early alpha. The campaign (not yet available) will make this into a fantastic sandbox universe for us to play in. And mod!

I can't wait to hear what all you winners think about the alpha. I was surprised by how great it played, hopefully you will be, too! Alex is very active on the Fractal Softworks forums (which are already growing rapidly), so don't be afraid to offer suggestions, polite criticisms, and (hopefully!) praise.

Thanks so much, Mendonca! And thank you, too, Alex!

So, the company is giving away copies? Best. Company. Ever.
Edit: Wait, it's a person in the company, not the entire company. I LOVE YOU ALEX. :3

Sure enough- I rolled a natural 1 on my reading check.

Also, yes, this is good publicity.  Got to hand it to the little companies- they understand the power of word of mouth on the Internet.

[Frajic]

Even MORE copies? That's quite generous! If I win, I might return the favor by giving it a small amount of publicity. A Let's Play or something.

[Paul]

Thats great. Thanks Mendonca for being generous and starting this, and thanks to Alex for generously matching him.

And this is why I love bay12.                 

[cerapa]

16 copies...

I have to agree with warhammer.

[The Scout]

Almost time...

[mendonca]

With one entry in the last 10 hours or so and the thread sat at the top of 'other games' for all that time, I think it's reasonable to cut short the anxious waiting and jump to the decision.

With 40 seperate entrants and many more poems, it's been more fun than I could have imagined.

Poems, collated in a PDF (will take a minute to post, link might not work straight away)

So if you'll wait a few minutes for the judges* to retire and think hard about the entries, we can rejoin our host for the evening and kick back for the awarding of the prizes very shortly.
