Ah yes. It's that time everyone. I know, it makes me sad too. But we must see the Carnival off for this year.
It's been a great two weeks, and probably the most successful Carnival we've ever had.
We had new, innovative ideas for the prizes, and the Scavenger Hunt, as well as the ZV War event which saw amazing participation. And let's not forget the record breaking number of 4 Panel comics we saw this year too. Some of the best yet as well.
But the time has come to wrap this all up. So here goes. Let me start by announcing the winners of the games.
Games
ZV War:
The winners of the ZV War event were... The Zero Virus Military! That includes Ztrl, HZ, Cemmerian, Spex, Majeh, Suprema, Bloodbane, JY, Reaver, Nick, Sunny, and Renegade. These people will recieve the Gold Star which will be displayed in their profiles from now on.

The winner of the Musical Avatar Game this year is... Swim again! Congradulations once again to Swim, he had the highest score for the Musical Avatar game (4/5)

Yin Yang Badge;
The winner of the Spriting Contest this year is... Random!
The scores are listed below.
Entry Number: 1 (Cemmerian)
Color: 28/40
Proportion: 32/40
Originality: 22/40
Accuracy: 31/40
Over all look: 23/40
TOTAL: 136/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> For someone that doesn't seem to have much spriting experience, it's not that bad.
<DrFann> Not bad. Somewhat had a nice blend of both. Good effort.
<Xero Bloodline> Very good job combining the two, thought it was an original idea. Could have done without the blue underwear though...=)
<Nightmare> Not too shabby. Mostly just a recolor though, with the edited parts being mis-shapen. I'll commend you for making something that looks even this good though, considering your bases.
Entry Number: 2 (Fusion)
Color: 34/40
Proportion: 38/40
Originality: 33/40
Accuracy: 34/40
Over all look: 34/40
TOTAL: 173/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> ...
<DrFann> Though a recolour, it matches well with the alien blob thingie there.
<Xero Bloodline> Good combination of colors, and fairly accurate to both sprites.
<Nightmare> Nice work. This is one of the better Sonic style edits I've seen. I'm not sure what is is about it, but I really like the colors.
Entry Number: 3 (Reaver)
Color: 34/40
Proportion: 37/40
Originality: 40/40
Accuracy: 35/40
Over all look: 35/40
TOTAL: 181/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> ...
<DrFann> Reaver has done it again. Spriting with scratch the unexpected and most original in my view.
<Xero Bloodline> Thought the colors could have used a bit more contrast, and I couldn't tell if the right arm was just facing out or completely severed.
<Nightmare> Looks good, though the colors are a little dull. And it looks like it could use more Aegis. Too much Samus I'd say.
Entry Number: 4 (Z-Kat)
Color: 31/40
Proportion: 39/40
Originality: 17/40
Accuracy: 32/40
Over all look: 30/40
TOTAL: 149/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> Way to live up to your title, Z-Kat.
<DrFann> Quite creepy per se. *Shudders*
<Xero Bloodline> That's just weird. That's all I've got to say....
<Nightmare> Umn... Yeah. That's some serious WTFery. Not bad, all things considered. Though it's more or less just a nicely done cut and paste with some recoloring.
Entry Number: 5 (Random)
Color: 36/40
Proportion: 38/40
Originality: 40/40
Accuracy: 38/40
Over all look: 34/40
TOTAL: 186/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> I still can't believe you actually went with that suggestion.
<DrFann> Quite an effort displayed there, like Reaver's. Good job done.
<Xero Bloodline> Very original idea. The head could use a little work, face and hat look kinda squished in.
<Nightmare> Damn. That's another pretty WTFish one. I really like the way it's shaded. Good work.
Art:
The winner of the art contest will win the Palette Badge which will display in their profile.
Palette Badge;
The winner of the Art Contest this year is... HZ!
The scores are listed below.
Entry Number: 1 (HZ)
Design: 31/40
Proportion: 35/40
Originality: 29/40
Accuracy: 31/40
Over all look: 34/40
TOTAL: 160/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> ...
<DrFann> Once again, displayed your artistic creativity. Good, good.
<Xero Bloodline> Wasn't too sure about this one, since you didn't provide references. Can't really be sure when I don't know what they're originally suppose to look like.
<Nightmare> Looks good. Proportions are a little off, and it looks like we got more Alice in there than Luna, but over all, I like it.
Entry Number: 2 (Random)
Design: 30/40
Proportion: 37/40
Originality: 31/40
Accuracy: 29/40
Over all look: 32/40
TOTAL: 159/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> ...
<DrFann> Matching resemblences, but the moustaches and beard are slightly off. Still nice though.
<Xero Bloodline> Don't know much about Lucci character wise, but just on appearance I thought they flowed together very well.
<Nightmare> Not bad. Lines are thick and messy, while colors are shaded kinda blurry. I know that's your style, but it subtracts from this one.
Writing:
The winner of the writing contest will win the Page Badge which will display in their profile.

Over all quality: 33/40
TOTAL: 157/200
Judge Comments:
<Tony> Kept things short and to the point. Always good.
<DrFann> Definitely worthy to publish. Has me convinced that he really genuinely enjoyed the game and thoughts are original as well. Good job.
<Xero Bloodline> A few gramatical errors, as well as some incomplete thoughts. A few times he assumed we've all played a Banjo-Kazooie game, which may or may not be true.
<Nightmare> Nice work. I haven't been convinced to try playing it yet, though. Was a good read though, everything layed out nicely.
Entry Number: 2 (Ztrl)
Correctness: 19/40

Judge Comments:
<Tony> Once again, kept things short and to the point. Good plus.
<DrFann> Publish Do Not Want. Review is considered too short and not elaborative. Has however made me feel it's a worthy game to play and do want to play it.
<Xero Bloodline> Yeah, found your "review" somewhere else online. Nice job.
<Nightmare> Not bad at all. Too bad you didn't write all of it yourself.

Judge Comments:
<Tony> ...
<DrFann> Publish Do Not Want. The plot summary paragraph is almost unoriginal, causing me to doubt if the article written is genuinely of your own thoughts. Only worthy effort mention is the pictures and some manner of descriptions of game.
<Xero Bloodline> Very good layout, solid presentation. Got a little too detailed and long-winded in the middle, but you still convinced me to try this game. =)
<Nightmare> Excellent work. I loved the layout. Easy on the eyes, and looked real professional.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
The winner of the Brawl Tourney will win the Brawl Badge which will display in their profile.
Brawl Badge;
The winner of the Brawl Tourney this year is... We don't know.
Sorry guys. Brawl Tourney got off to a late start, so we're a little behind. It'll go on after the Carnival is over though, and a winner will be decided then.
Well folks. Looks like that's all there is left to the Carnival.
I'd like to thank every one of you for your participation this year. The ZV War is by far one of the most successful events we've ever done for a Carnival thanks to your participation. We didn't get many contest entries, but some is better than none. And the 4 Panel Comic game has been amazing this year. It reminded me how much I love making sprite comics.
I hope you all had fun. See you all at the Carnival next year.
(P.S: Still got 5 hours left before the Carnival is taken down, enjoy it while you still can!)
