Dear sirs dear ladies, time has come for results to be disclosed!
As previously stated, I've been helped by 3 judges, unaware of the authors behind the submissions.
I wish to thank them all for their patience and dedication: they are Azull, Rasiel and Maebius.
Your entries have been valued based on these preferential criteria:
- The target should have been a character, not the person behind it.
- The "rituals" should have been designed within MD borders (resources/materials available in the realm).
- The "rituals" should have been customized on the victim's fears and/or weak spots.
- The ability to create a "dreadful sense of anticipation" without lingering too much on gory details. So, terror, not horror. Fear, not revulsion.
Each judge came to a top 5, independently from the others (partial results are available on the .xls file attached).

For each judge, I assigned 5 points for the 1st place, 4 points for the 2nd place and so on.
I resolved ties by considering my opinion as the least important.
So, the results:
[b]1st place: submission 8[/b] (targeting *Peace*) wins a [b]WP [/b]and a [b]Shade[/b].
[b]2nd place: submission 3[/b] (targeting AmberRune) wins a [b]GG Drachorn [/b]and [b]10 sc[/b].
[b]3rd place: submission 10[/b] (targeting *Burns*) wins a [b]Lock in Chaos stone[/b] and [b]5 sc[/b].
[b]4th place: submission 2[/b] (targeting Mur) wins an aged[b] Tormented soul [/b]and a [b]5 credits code[/b].
[b]5th place: submission 17[/b] (targeting dst) wins a fresh [b]Sharptear Archer[/b].
All the submissions nominated (even by a single judge) will get a minor prize (a moderately aged [b]Tormented soul[/b] from my collection), that's to say submissions n° 1, 4, 5, 9, 14.
Winners and sponsors will be contacted soon, in order to arrange deliveries.
Once again, thanks a LOT to all those who participated!!
