A text version of the scores is in (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149613&p=2418749&viewfull=1#post2418749) this post.

The original thread (now unstickied) is here: (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149369)

If you wish to look through a Google sheet containing the above scores page plus all the votes for every mission, it is (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lsf224xzdrhGZeF4xQfTww-xWVaM2-r-8qh4xQ9F3Ko/edit#gid=609969883) here.

Authors will receive by PM or email all of the comments their mission(s) received within the next week or so (whenever I have time to do it). Also, as with past contests, selected comments on each mission will be posted in a separate thread as soon as I can get to it, perhaps this weekend. There were over 1700 votes cast with around 75 per mission, so there are a lot of comments to sift through.

EDIT: Thanks to (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149613&p=2415567&viewfull=1#post2415567) fortuni for creating lootlists for every mission!

Congratulations Tannar and Pukey! You guys almost went mad in the last weeks before deadline, and it's understandable : the amount of work in your mission is outstanding. It is a well deserved win.

Congrats to all the participants, these are tight scores. Such a quality contest that was :thumb:

Congratulations Tannar and Pukey! You should feel especially proud to have won a contest with so many great contenders for the top spot!

Here's a message for people who tend to come along later and only play the missions that finished near the top (I've done it myself!): There are several all-time classics outside of the top 5. Don't pass over them! The quality of the entries in this contest were just that good and that competitive.

Congratulations to Tannar and Pukey! (and DrK and skacky too). A well deserved victory!

Altogether, the contest spoiled us with a whole lot of outstanding missions, which will be ranked among the classics in the years to come. May our community continue to produce such amazing work!

The Scarlet Cascabel was one of three maps I didn't manage to play before the deadline. Looks like I was missing out! (The other two I didn't get to were Lord G and The Tomb of St Tennor)

Congratulations, everyone! There's some amazing maps here showcasing a whole bunch of creativity. I had a whole lot of fun playing them.

Congratulations, everyone! The Scarlet Cascabel blew me away and got my highest score by several points! The rest of the top 5 was not quite in the order that I ranked them, but pretty darn close. What a contest!

Congratulations to ALL contestants :)
Now, I'm curious how many of 30s did each of the missions receive? :)

I'm glad there will be a version 2.0 of Scarlet Cascabel :)

Thanks to all the authors, testers, organizers and congratulations to Tannar and Pukey. As Sally Fields would say "We like them, we really like them !!!"

I had so much fun playing these and will have fond gaming memories of the Winter of 2018/2019.
