Star Legends Halloween Haiku Contest RESULTS!



I would first like to start off by thanking everyone who participated in the contest. The whole purpose of me hosting the contest was to bring the community a little closer together and I fully feel I achieved this goal. We had a lot of new players signup specifically to join us on this extravaganza and the participation in the contest was more than I could have ever expected. The contest had over 5200 views and over 60+ entries, which is 120+ haikus! That is why it took almost a week to narrow down the finalists.

Secondly I would like to thank those who donated to help make the rewards of the contest a little more appealing and their time to help judge the contest.

Thank You To The Following People:

The STS Dev Team
CanonicalKoi
Ebalere

If you see them in game or on the forums, throw them a "Thanks" or two..=)

It was a winner in my mind, but unfortunately had nothing to do with Halloween :(

ahh he edited the original post so the rules aren't there anymore, but the original rules said it had to be SL themed, and an example was to do it about things like death and space and such (killing auctioneer preston). Trust me I read the rules many times. Never said it had to be 100% Halloween themed, just was that it was taking place at the time around Halloween, but whatever. Next time I hope this is specified.

Also liked my other one about Schizophrenia and Halloween...dunno if people just didn't understand it or if it wasn't that good :(

EDIT: Found it, forgot this was only the results:

"4) The haiku should be about Star Legends. It also should be themed around Halloween (Death, Ghosts, Candy, etc.) The tone you set is up to you, comedic, sad, angry, etc. Have fun with it and be creative!"

Should be about Star Legends. Should be themed around halloween (DEATH.) Dunno, thought that was covered. Maybe I'm just being a poor sport :(

Your entry was not disqualified or overlooked, due to it not being Halloween. It was actually allowed because I did consider the "death" theme. Ironically I thought the judging would be harder but all 3 judges had similar tastes when it came to the finalists. Out of the 3 judges, the 4 finalist appeared at least twice in each of the judges final results. The judging was anonymous also, all names/guild names were removed and I replaced EVERYONE with a random number. So when I asked the judges to judge, I asked them to give me the # and the haiku that corresponded with that #. I tried making it as fair as possible and remove a possible biased panel, so sorry you did not end up winning. Granted you did have a very nice and funny haiku.
