Sorry this took so long, everyone. I hadn't forgotten - I've just been busy of late.

So, here are the candidates! Everyone here has already won the title "Fool of Win" (unless they tell me they don't want it). Poll closes (if I did this right) on Friday, at which point the winner gets a Custom Avatar AND WotC has decided to throw in a free hardback book from the 2008 book line. Woo!

Without further adieu here are the finalists (in the order of original postings)

#1 warfteiner
GenCon - awesome time
But some gamers don't wash up
Time to use the Axe

#2 - Tancread
I Am An Elf Mage
I Have Two Hit Points, One Spell
I Am Soo Screwed.

#3 - Telvin3d
Gameday sausage-fest
At last, here come some women
No, it's guys LARPing

#4 - amysrevenge
It's always the same
Fat guys playing halflings
Or slutty women

#5 - danpersand
small town convention
No players arrive at all
ads listed wrong date

Rawr!


Vote for me, and maybe I'll bring a cheesecake to GenCon.

If you don't vote for me, I might bring a rabid wolverine to the table.

Just sayin'. No pressure, of course.... ;)

Remember, if you don't vote for warfteiner, we all get to hear the awesome story about how he brought a rabid wolverine to Gencon. You know everyone wants to hear about the rabid wolverine at Gencon.

A vote for Telvin3D is a vote for awesome rabid wolverine stories.

Well, it seems the desire for rabid badger stories outweighs people's desire for cake.

... Excellent!

Yeah... see... you lost me at cheesecake... I never met a cheesecake I liked... . if it was just cake... I would have voted for you. I would have made dummy accounts and voted for you. Or creme brulee. I would have gone for that too. Or those dark chocolate bacon cupcakes...

Mmmm... bacon.

If the powers-that-be ever put us up at the Residence Inn in Indy for GenCon (or any hotel with a decent kitchen) I swear by all that's somewhat holy that I will make cakes, cupcakes, cookies, you name it.

I bake. And I have a terrible sweet tooth.

It's a wonderful life. ;)

Congrats indeed to Telvin3d.

I'll put in the new titles on Monday, and will get a PM to Telvin about choosing a book.

Thanks again, everyone. If anyone should have any other contest ideas - my PM box is always open, as is my VCL thread (linked in my sig).

I can see it now. "Warfteiner's Top Chef". When they want to throw you off the show, you have to fight increasingly tough creatures, like half-dragon strudel and dark chocolate zombie bacon cupcakes!

Thanks to whoever voted for me, even though I realized a few days after posting that mine was 5-6-5 - oops!

Personally, I voted for the eventual winner, not my own entry. :P

Customer Service has been alerted to the winners. Prizes (titles, avatar for Telvin) should show up in the next 48 hours or so.

Telvin - keep an eye on your PM box for details on the book.
