Whatta? I cant find the results :eww: When I look at the keep there is nothing new since voting rules and deadlines were posted (30 December) :confused:
Help me, give me some link ;)
Edit: NEVER MIND. I GOT IT. Something happen with my "refresh" function...
EDIT 2:

A request to Shadak, Brethren and Redface: Could re-release contest entrires on your sites with updated readme files that include the nickname of author of each mission? This wasn't always done by some sites after previous contests.
Yeah, I have updated readme with my nickname, email adress and also my translator's name. It's important to me to give him a credit too. Could I somehow send it to you to be replaced? Or should I rather send complete FM zip file with updated readme?

Uh oh, I have a slight little bit of bad news - I forgot a few votes!!! :eek:
Slyfoxx tipped me off about it, and it turns out I forgot to check one of my email addresses, and I found 6 more votes there! I've already crunched the numbers and other than slightly changing some of the final result numbers it doesn't affect the winners. The only thing that gets changed is 7th and 8th place missions switch. I'll update the Keep with the new numbers soon :o :eww:
And also yes I want to update all the readmes, so if authors want to send me an updated readme I can update the mission files myself, or authors can host an updated mission and we'll get the new full mission file that way.

Don't worry folks. Sly's always on the case...so sleep a little easier.
also makes it easier for me to nick your stuff in the dark of night.

Most important thing:
CONGRATULATIONS Lady Rowena. Your entry was my favourite too, and I'm very, very happy that your mission won the contest.

O.K. Sent you a PM with link to updated Weak Links archive.

I think that Weak Links is by ghost_in_the_shell.
Now, when all cards are on the table I can't stop myself and not ask. How did you recognise that? :) Was it my activity in the Weak Links thread so obviously pointing me as an author, or was it rather something in the mission itself? I'm just curious :D

If any authors care to update their readmes & zips, I will be happy to update the files at Darklurker. You can pm me a link, if you prefer, or post it.
Congrats & thanks again to all contestants!

The only mission of yours that I played was The Box, so I went by exclusion. The most similar was Weak Links. (then I cheated and had the confirmation :)) But I resisted and I didn't "peek" at until the very end, after having played all the missions. :angel:
BTW, the authors should clear the well known file before starting and/or releasing contests missions if they seriously want to stay anonymous. ;)

I must admit I didn't know about the info_window. :o

Congratulations, Lady Rowena. The Tower was on the top of my rankings, too. Thanks to all authors for the end of the year entertainment. And of course to Shadak for organizing it for us.

Incidentally, you gave the lowest ratings, by far, of any voter, by almost half the average! I guess this contest just didn't do it for you! That's fine of course, we all have varying tastes, but maybe you're growing "Thief Jaded" in your old age or something ;)
Oh, that's clever. Give really bad votes to all the missions but your own (which you're not allowed to vote for anyway) to lower their average and give your mission a boost. Makes me think I should have voted, too... And there I was thinking it was unfair to vote when I was one of the contestants.

Ah, I get it. Probably doable to recognise it this way, as I used much of what I learned working on The Box (which was my debut release, and the only one until TAC) to create Weak Links. Probably some details and solutions are very similiar :thumb:

At least I'm sure I put 'anonymous' as username for dromed info_window ...
But I suspect what else could identify me as I think more about it now. Either some strange, but distinctive objects names in dromed or my convention of naming objects in objnames.str file... am I close? :erm:
Also I guess my readme file was recognisable, as I used the one from The Box as a base for contest one. :sweat:
