https://i.imgur.com/P2HZtz2.pngCongratulations to nicked for his winning entry, A Shadow on the Water! Lord Taffer's Mysteries of Tolham isn't too far behind, and Wolfenstein and One Man's Trash are also both pretty close to each other.
Unattributed comments have been given to all of the authors. Thanks to all four authors for their participation!

Congratulations to Nicked a well deserved win.
I was initially shocked to see that Mysteries of Tolham didn't win because it is such a staggeringly good mission, but then of course remember one of the voting criteria's was related to how much the mission was a tribute to T3, and in that respect Mysteries of Tolham probably didn't score too well.
I would have liked to see Wolfenstein score more highly as it is a superb city mission with by far the best plot of all the contest entries, but a fair few people didn't play that one so it lost a number of votes..
And well done to One Man's Trash, yes a bit of an odd ball but full of clever ideas, great humour and it even had an actual working clock which I don't remember seeing in a fan mission before.

Nicked's mission was just well made, so it's a deserved win.
I totally loved the TDS "mechanics" and aesthetics properly "ported" into T2. Great work.
The atmosphere, and plot was really TDS-ish, so another point.
Puns with a wink towards TDS? Also there. So we have another point.
(Many water jokes)
Mysteries of Tolham would have been a fair competitor, only if would have more (or more obvious) attribution to TDS.
Wolfenstein is underrated, but also underplayed.
One Man's Trash has water jokes, too! But... I have slight suspicion about the real author here...
Right. We need to know the author! :D

With Thief's Rising: Wolfenstein, Adsk1 has reached a total of 23 released missions for T3: 10 from the Thief's Rising campaign (2013), 12 from the Thief's Rising 2 campaign (2020), and now 1 standalone mission (2024). I think few people in the community know how big his contribution to Thief is. I was delighted to get to play a new T3 mission of his in this contest.

All were very enjoyable to explore. I appreciate all of the authors entries and the work that went into making them!! I will have to replay each of them to look around more carefully to find stuff I missed.
Thanks to all the Authors Great job!!

Congratulations for all the authors who participated in the contest!
I had a great time playing the missions and i was happy to see that we also had one for TDS.
I'm pretty sure we are all looking forward to see the imported TDS aesthetics in future FMs.

Was Hanover Aldercash revealed as an alt? One Man's Trash felt more like an experienced author having some fun with custom assets and less like a mission by a first-time author. The reg date of the account is April 2024, mere weeks before the release date of the contest.
