Back on October 1st, 2020, I announced the "(

Congrats to Schlock - 1st place goes to him and his mission
Alcazar, for Thief Gold. Excellent work there.
The missions were ranked 1-10 points in three different categories, for a potential total of 30 points per entry. A more detailed breakdown by category should be available within a day or so, but I still wanted to post the final rankings as soon as possible.
Here is the final tally, with the average points per entry (out of 30):
1. Alcazar, by Schlock, 26.84.
2. The Turning of the Leaves by nicked, 26.34.
3. A Midsummer Night's Heist, by skacky, 25.29.
4. The Cinder Notes, by DrK, 25.21.
5. Recipe for Turmoil, by Psych0sis, 22.82
6. The Perdurance, by Skejven, 22.14.
7. Sabotage at Eastport, by Intruder, 21.84.
8. Sinister Night, by Terra, 16.36.
9. Nightwalk, by Pookaball, 16.19.
I may have missed my cue during the (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng4705MW0Sk) recent podcast, so let me give out a huge THANKS to all the authors for all your hard work. Obviously none of this would be possible if not for you.
Also, thanks to everyone who played the missions and voted. We had a pretty decent turnout with an average of about 125 votes per mission.
As I mentioned, we should have some more in-depth results later this week, including category breakdown and possibly voter comments.
Thanks again to all, and good night.
Edit: One more thank you to Al_B for setting up the voting system and making it all run so smoothly. The whole thing wouldn't work without you.

Congrats to Alcazar, it deserved it, I totally agree with the Top3. Thanks to all the authors for giving us several fun and interesting approaches on the contests topic :) and damn Psych0sis tricked us again. Skacky was pretty obvious considering his behaviour on twitter and the forums :D DrK, could have guessed that now, considering the architecture. great job guys!

>1. Alcazar, by Schlock, 26.84.
Hmm, that was the single FM in this contest which I disliked so much that I haven't even finished it.
Previous contest had the same result: I never finished that rooftop maze.
Strange...
Skejven on 1/3/2021 at 07:48
Alcazar is a very deserved win, Schlock has easily became one of my favourite FM authors with his last 2 missions
Congrats to all the participants and thank you Brethren for the contest!

Congratulations on the winners, "Alcazar" was also my favorite mission of this contest. I forgot to vote for one mission that i never was able to finish it, too late now...
