For as much as it counts for, I really liked your piece Stouda!

To be honest, I too am rather surprised that you're not in the honorable mentions either. But again, a lot of the contests are pretty much about whether judges like your pieces or not, and GW official contests do have that tendency. The judges not selecting your piece as a winner does not make your piece less awesome, and you should be proud of yourself about being able to draw so well.

Gratz to all the winners! So many wonderful entries. I think I spent a good half hour admiring all the artwork from the winners. Half of it was spent watching the grand prize winning entry on repeat though :P

I have to agree with tommy and arghore, stouda really should have been in the honourable mentions at least. Didnt realize he hadnt won until middle of today when it dawned on me. Some of the winning entries I don't agree with, but I think this year is one of the better years for the judging; there is less I disagree with this year than last year for sure. Perhaps because the prizes were more valuable they had to step the judging up a notch? Oh well. Theres still the workshop prizes!

Just use the motivation of knowing that you should have won into making an even better wintersday painting; then you'll surely win. And who needs a mini guard when you could get a reindeer tonic?

Alright, so in the event I win something in the workshop and we decide on a day for the party;

I may or may not be able to attend the party. My laptop is about to implode (the hard drive is failing or... something. Its rattling at volumes louder than I can speak :|) and could die any day now. Since its so unpredictable, I may have to use the internet off of my iPod; so I could still visit the forum but may not be able to be in-game depending on the situation. I'm also buying a desktop this week, so if I can set it up and get Guild Wars re-installed in time I may be able to attend. Everythings up in the air right now

But the good news is I'll have a desktop, and will be able to play non-guild wars games and be able to paint on photoshop canvas' larger than 1000x1000 without going into critical lag/freezing the program. So yay for that!

Hey guys. This is Verene (lost my password and the reset's not going through for some reason, so I'll fight with it later).

There's really not much I can say other than I am really, really sorry. I should have handed over the reins to someone else when I was getting overwhelmed by real life (between work and my mom being in the hospital, I've had zero time to myself), but I was stupid and stubborn and didn't. I'm really sorry. Please don't kill me.

That said, don't worry that I've run off with the prizes or anything (I'd never do that, and besides, I haven't even logged on the game in over a month now)

I've got a few hours free today, so I plan on basically dedicating all of it to going through everything on here, creating a list of all of the entries, and contacting judges. Whatever I don't finish before I leave for work, I will get back to when I'm back home tonight.

And yeah, again, I'm really sorry.

And, also, congrats to those that did win in the official contest!

besides, I don't think anyone wouldve thought you'd steal the prize pool. You're too nice to do that sort of thing. It sounds like Aero has taken over quite a bit and/or was looking for you, if you havent contacted her yet. She needed the judging sheets I believe and/or the names of the anonymous judges (?). You'll find it in the thread. She just PMed me ^^

I actually did not have anyone who asked to judge anonymously. So that's not a problem!

Also, go me. I just noticed someone's been keeping up with the first post. Thank you, Aero and Sierraa and whoever else did that! I'll whip up a judging age, then, and send it out.

Also, while I'm here - party. When do you guys want to have it?

Sundays usually work best for me; while I nearly always work on Sunday it's also always a very short shift in the afternoon. Would November 6th work for people?

Also, where? I think my favorite location was Tombs of the Primeval Kings, where we did it last year...

Verene, sorry to hear about your mom

Hope RL calms down for you *hug*

As for the party, we have an out of town friend coming over this weekend, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to the party on Sunday... depends when she flies out.

I can potentially come sunday, solely dependent on time. I'm getting my new desktop tomorrow (yay

) but need to find a way to make internet happen in my room for it first. So depending on when I get home from my outtings sunday I could possibly. :S

Shamefully it took me this long to start reading the literature entries. I started my reading with Konig's "Primeval Darkness" and i gotta say: Wow! One of the first sentences of the story got my completely hooked and interested in the story: " “Desmina….” Konig said silently to himself as he watched the woman who died almost five centuries before."
I was sad when the story ended and hope you will finish it Konig! I absolutely have to know how the story ends

!

I loved this workshop, learned a lot and had fun! So thanks everyone and congrats to everyone for their awesome pieces! And special congratulations of course to everyone who placed in the offical contest

Well, on Sunday I'm available until about 4pm Central time, and then I'll be back again after about 7:30-8pm, so if we were to do the party that day I'd have to duck out for a while.

(and thanks for the well wishes for my mom, guys - she's doing better but she is going to have to have surgery soon)

Seeing Verene's situation, and me already volunteering to organize the party, I will

Seeing multiple people indicate that A sunday is by far the best day for a party, it is beyond doubt that we should pick a sunday...

But, seeing various people already indicated that this sunday (6nov) isn't an option for them, i would like to suggest throwing the party next week on Sunday the 13th ...

this will also give the judges another week, and perhaps more important, it will give Verene another week to see how things develope, gather the judges results or appoint someone to take care of this, as well as appointing someone else to hand out the prizes if she is unable to do so herself ... it will also allow me some time to get the party bit organized so it can be planned in advance... And last but not least, sunday the 13th sounds like an appropriate date for a halloween related party ^^ ...

Anyone opposed to Sunday the 13th as the date for the Halloween Workshop Party?

As far as locations go, i think Tomb of the Primeval Kings was a good location, but if anyone knows a better spot for a post halloween party please let me know (i'll think of it myself aswell)

As far as time goes, i am thinking of doing a 6h party, mostlikely starting at 19:00h GMT (20:00h Europe time), which correlates to about 12:00-14:00h USA time (roughly speaking that is) ... this will give both sides of the ocean enough time to hop on ... and if there are australians, if i am not mistaken for them the time would be around 23:00-midnight, late for a sunday, but if you show up at the start you can atleast pick up your prize while you brush your teeth... i will mess with the times some more to get a decent coverage for most of the world within this 6h timeframe ... also in cooperation with gw-en, whom i will ask to provide the music and some on air trivia ...

Thanks Arghore. That sounds perfect to me.

We definately need a bit more time to get the judging sorted out.

Next next sunday (the 13th) would certainly be better for me; as of right now I have nothing planned whatsoever. Work is done for me this sunday for the season, so I'm pretty much free unless something pops up in real life.

Hopefully there are hardly any people opposed to sunday the 13th, i'll keep an eye out for this thread, but in the meantime we shall keep sunday the 13th as the day for the party

Seeing time is more important that location, the time will be up next

... seeing gw-en has 3h DJ-slots, it turned out that starting one hour earlier would pretty much fit the scedule @gw-en, meaning the party will be:

12:00h - 18:00h CST
18:00h - 24:00h GMT (thats 19:00h - 01:00h for most of main land Europe).
approx 04:30h - 10:30h Middle Australian Time (though i am not sure when you guys go outof summer time, which may change this to something else :/ and there seem to be 4 timezones in Australia, so i picked Adelaide as a point of reference.)
For all those not directly in any of those locations please use GMT to calculate your own starting times..
* if only the world were flat, then this whole time thing would be so much easier*

As far as the location goes, Tomb of the Primeval Kings is as good as any, so lets stick to that. And since we are comming from all corners of the world, lets go with the International District 1

Sounds good to me, Arghore. Not sure if I'll be around for the whole party, but I'm definitely better with it being next Sunday as THIS Sunday is the ski swap and this ski diva wants to go SHOPPING!!!! WEEOOO!

(also means I prooobably should get my second account there so I can hand out prizes without having to bounce back and forth between there and my GH)

Did everyone already collect their in-game prizes already? I'm not sure what GM names I need to add other than Stephane's.
