AnimeShinbun 12 Days of Christmas 2012 - Final Result
We received quite a number of entries and attempted answers to our trivia questions each day. In the end however, four participants in particular distinguished themselves. These participants managed to rack up a lead over their competitors by making the effort to participate in almost every single day of the competition in both the trivia and creative portions, and their efforts most certainly have paid off for them.
We aren't posting here today the points for each day, just the final point totals of those top four participants. Regardless of if you're in this list or not, if you'd like a breakdown of your points you can PM us for that.
A number of the trivia questions we asked had multiple correct answers. Very few of them had only one correct response. As a result of this, every day EXCEPT Day 12 had at least one valid answer given to us by at least one person. Since we didn't have any correct answers for that one....I'm keeping it in reserve for a future competition. ;) As for the rest, if you want I can edit the list of valid answers we received into this post later.
The final point totals are as follows...
1st Place: Koga88 - 86 Points
2nd Place: D3acon - 68 Points
3rd Place: futurefrog - 61 Points
4th Place: Simon_Brezhnev - 50 Points
I'll be posting the details of your exact prizes over the next couple of days.
Thanks everyone for participating!
Thing is, if most people came in late they probably would already be rather discouraged if they started participating at Day 6 or Day 10, there would be only minor possibilities of them actually catching up at any point. So it probably would have been for the best to keep an update going in the latter half of the competition. Especially with the way the question points were worked out.
In the end it just depends how people feel about entering, some will try and make a push last minute and others will see its already half done and not try. Although putting the point total up a bit more would have benefited the current participants, you had a good middle ground considering creative challenges were open until the last minute.
Edit: Now's the time for you two to offer gifts under the table to Archaic and Lavalamp! :P
There will be 4 prizes (so all you people listed up there will get something), but they'll be staggered from 1st to 4th.
Your prizes will be updated soon-ish.
