C3 2012 Results!

Apologies for the delay. As a Chester loyalist, I was recently left with the task of compiling C3 results and posting them here. Big thanks to WhiteYoshiEgg, S.N.N., and Roy for getting results from the other three pages.

Below are all the results for C3 2012, as determined by the voting thread. If you placed in the top three (including ties) in any category, (or top two, if 3rd place was very split) you will be receiving a shiny trophy soon. If your work is a collaboration with someone else, they will also receive a trophy, but winners with many contributors like collab hacks will only have trophies for the leader.

During voting, it also came to our attention that some users were intentionally "recruiting" outside individuals so they had a better chance of winning in their entry. We have dealt with this; know that even if these votes were counted, it wouldn't have affected the result. We also dealt with votes only created to "protest" said recruitment. If you were involved in either activity, you know who you are, and going to these lengths for an internet contest is a quick way to sap the fun out of the activity and ruin it for everyone else. Let's not have it happen again.

Overall though, this was a fantastic C3 in terms of both entries and participation. A big thank you to participants and voters, and we hope to see you again next year!

Below is all the results for this C3 in a TXT. Note that this is by thread ID, but it includes all the votes for all categories.

Lastly, here are the winners. If you encounter any issues with voting, contact me ASAP.

Enjoy!

Congrats to the winners of their categories! And to be honest for as rushed as my thread was, I was shocked I won anything at all.
These results are fake because I didn't win anything.
;_;


Congratulation for the winners.
This C3 had a lot of great stuffs. Next C3 is going to be even better.
Oh well, I'll retry next C3...and congratulations for the winners: I loved all their submissions!#w{=P}
Oh damn, I'm quite surprised and flattered that I actually got a lot of votes for best graphics. Thanks!

And congratz and such to the others
Congratulations to all winners, gold, silver or bronze! Wait, that kinda means I'm congratulating myself, right? Oh well, I wasn't really expecting that bronze (or any sort of trophy), but it's a welcome surprise!
Silver in creativity? I didn't see myself get a lot of votes in the voting thread. Wait, no bronze for creativity? Wait, nevermind, saw the results text and there were a bunch of '1's.

Thanks a lot for the two(I think it's two) trophies :3 First time I ever was first in a category :)

Edit: It's two gold and two silver :O thanks so much!

Haha oh boy, THREE trophies. I don't even

Words.
[22:25:05] <%andy_k_250> Turkey and Grease will one day be reunited - that day will be... Thanksgiving


Two silver trophies woo. Thanks for the votes, everyone!
I didn't expect to be second best C3 Attendee, although I think I managed to write higher quality posts than just "wow this is cool". Being the second best in Best Screenshots is also a pleasant surprise.
Congrats to everyone else, I think this was a very great C3 overall.
I didn't get a trophy, just as I was expecting. Congratulations to everyone who won a trophy...Free counters!

GvS @smwcentral.net ~ u:11380

Woah, best screenshots! Very nice to have this, as this is exactly what I aimed for. A big thanks to everyone who voted for me!

And of course, congratulations to everyone who won a trophy! And to those who didn't; no worries, there's always next year! ;)
Sorry for the delay on these - I ended up delegating the compiling task to Supertails far later than I should have. That being said, it's time for a note which I've wanted to say since the voting ended:

To those who went fishing for votes through external sources (believe it or not, there was more than one person doing this), shame on you. Does a virtual trophy mean so much to you that you need to ruin the fun for everyone else? Are you so unsure of your hacking ability that you need to cheat and beg people to vote for your thread? Measures will be taken to prevent situations like this from occurring next year, I can promise you that much.

Have a nice day.
