Fusion month competition! ~ Winners announced!!!!!!

Elanthiel · **Posted:** July 4th, 2008, 8:45 am

For those who did not notice yet, the Legends pronounced it Fusion Month. That means that people will be fusing their names, creating weird and funny combinations.
And now, you can win something from it too!

This fusion month competition is in Subway-month style (for those who haven't been around then: there was an amount of prize money set, and if you won, it would be donated to RuneVillage in your name). This time around, there won't be just two winners. There will be seven. Here is how that works.

There will be two people who win the first prize: the couple that gets the most votes.
There will be two people who win the second prize: the couple that gets the second highest amount of votes.
There will be two people who win the third prize: the couple that gets the third highest amount of votes.
There will be one person who wins the seventh prize. What for? Well, you might have noticed that I have not mentioned the amount of prize money yet. I will not announce that. The first one to correctly guess the amount of prize money and it's devision (first ones get ..., second ones get ... etc.) will win that seventh prize.

In the contest to guess the correct amount of Prize Money, Dark Paladin (original rv name) has guessed it correct.

Here is where the main part of the competition starts. The voting for the fused names. I will present you now with a list of names, directly taken from one of the sacred modforums, the Name Change Forum (I was allowed to leak, yes :shifty:

). Next will be a template for voting, please copy that in your posts and edit in the relevant parts to vote. Then I will run an example.

So, first on, the list, put between spoiler tags to reduce scrolling. All participants are listed on here, anyone who is not listed on here does not participate in the contest.

So, for the template of voting. Please copy the code in your post and add your votes on the correct places.

Code: Select all

[b]I give three points to:[/b]
[b]I give two points to:[/b]
[b]I give one point to:[/b]

Now, I will run an example. Names are entirely made up.
In the test case, these are the fused names:
Note that these are not the real fused names. See the spoiler just above here for the real participants, this is just an example
silence!, ikillyou -> iSilence, killyou!
Warbeast, sickhead -> Warhead, sickbeast
power342, lightbulb -> powerbulb, light342
thelegend, I Am Cool -> theCool, I Am Legend

Now, my vote would then look like this:

Quote:

I give three points to: silence!, ikillyou -> iSilence, killyou!
I give two points to: thelegend, I Am Cool -> theCool, I Am Legend
I give one point to: Warbeast, sickhead -> Warhead, sickbeast

Big edit: winners announced here
Time for drum rolls all over again, it is time that I announce the winners of the Fusion Month contest

Here we go.
At first, the correct amount of prize money is guessed correctly by Dark Paladin, and this means that he will 'donate' $10.
The third place is shared by Donut Juice and TheAmericanIdiot (TheAmericanDonub and Idiot Juice), scoring 32 points and both 'donating' $10 to RuneVillage.
The second place is also gotten by staff people: Richboi and Gamestar (Richstar and Gameboi). 49 points and each donating $15
And with a whopping 51 points, the absolute winners are Whydidijoin and Canada Quest (Whydidiquest and Join Canada). They will both donate $20 to our humble village.
So, 1 times 10, 2 times 10, 2 times 15 and 2 times 20 makes a 100 dollars in total for RV. Congratulations to all winners.

If you want to see how I counted the votes, you are more then welcome to download the spreadsheet that Glodenox hosted on his server.

F.A.Q
Q: Will you be fusing your name yourself?
A: No. I'm too attached to my name to change it, and besides, I host the competition, why would I enter in it, then?

Q: Can I join in?
A: Unfortunately, you can not join in in the competition any more. You are still very welcome to fuse your names with someone else, but the voting has started.

Q: Why the 12th?
A: After that, I will be going on vacation, so I want the voting to be running when I'm off and have no access to the internet. I will then count the votes when I get back.

Q: Can you give any hints about the amount of prize money?
A: No, the prize money has already been guessed (see above).

Q: Will you be voting yourself?
A: Yes. However, I will vote on the last day, to not give a bias for when starting off the voting.

Q: How will you be keeping count of the votes?
A: I will use an Excel file to add up all the votes. When the adding up is done, I will post it as attachment, so that if anyone wants to see if the adding up has been done fair, you are able to.

(I'll add more when needed)

Ready? Set? Vote! This is the time that you have left to cast your vote. When the timer reaches 0, no votes will be accepted.

Please do take a guess at the prize money. If there is no winner, I'll have to keep it myself :shifty:

Should the list of name fusions be posted on this thread, in an effort to give everyone a fair chance of receiving votes? I'm sure that some users are not aware of some of the fusions.

Yes, that will be added after the 12th, when the voting will begin.

There have been no correct guesses so far. Keep in mind that the money a couple will donate will be split in two devided over the people who make up the couple. So for instance (not true) if the first couple will 'donate' $1, both will 'donate' $0,50

Would it be to much to ask for a prize for the worst fused name, Elan?
