Hey, everyone. When we announced the Halloween Art Contest at the beginning of the month, the official rules stated that we would publish the results "on or around October 29, 2010." As such, I know you're expecting the winners to be announced today, October 29. I'm posting to let you know, with my apologies, that we won't be able to publish the winner announcement today. The judging process was already completed, so there aren't any issues related to the judging or selection process involved. There are some logistical issues with website publishing. We expect to have the winners announcement page published by Monday, November 1. Again, I apologize that we were not able to post the winner announcement today as expected. I understand the disappointment this causes, but hope that the Halloween weekend celebrations helps lift that disappointment somewhat. Thank you for your attention, and have a great weekend.

With the "on or around October 29, 2010" approximation you could've delayed it until the end of the weekend without giving us a heads up and we wouldn't have the right to complain.
So thanks for taking the time to write this post, it's much appreciated by all of the participating guru artists, I'm sure!

With all the ToT bags being opened this Halloween, I'll be surprised if a vast majority of GW players don't need physical therapy.

Thanks very much for letting us know! Like Tzu, said - you didn't have to. But you want out of your way to do so; that was very courteous of you.

loved the winners. didnt see how the grandprize one was halloweenish. i think the one taking out the trash or the cute chibi one should have been the grandprize winner. both were very awesome. the costume section was cool too. if i was thinner i would soo buy that female costume for myself. xD
