Okay, I had formatted this entire thing, at which point Firefox proceeded to exit my tab and kill the entire page-long post. >_> So here's the short version, because I'm not typing it all up again. I apologize for losing the epicness to a browser crash.
The final challenge was a 50-act speedrun, done on acts suggested by other TSCers. Since Spinny led by 15 points, he was given a 15-minute head start. Of course, the results mean nothing, because Achlys didn't submit. Therefore to Spinny, the winner, I present a sig banner to patch up his fail sig.
To the 2nd and 3rd place players, Achlys and Rick, I present little trophy-lookin' things.
This is as close to "Unofficial Sonic" that this TUSC tourney has gotten.
At this point in the awards creation I was having fun with Fireworks and decided to make a pic for whomever assisted me most in the tourney. This turned out to be Achlys -- he helped me nag Rick and RPG as well as give out challenges to others. Therefore I give a nonsensical pic as a prize.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is the guy who only wants to trash the tourney. genus made an honest attempt to get paired with Spinny for the second time in a row in round two, and due to future circumstances they was paired up
four consecutive times, giving Spinny easy points and a ticket to the finals. His home life situation made scheduling tourney rounds take WEEKS. To him I present a different nonsensical pic.
Lastly, a pic to my fellow Dela-where? native, JBertolli, as a sign of "you kept chugging for as long as you could, but you were just too fuckin' weak".
To everyone else who dropped out without trying... you get zilch, and screw you all. Comments are welcome, and to whoever runs the next tourney, may it run better than mine and mike's .:P
