Whew, that took a lot longer than we thought to look through all those. In addition to the forum thread itself, we received an impressive spread of PMs and even some tickets on this one (mostly backing up names that were already given with sometimes overwhelming amounts of info).
Since we had so many entries, we expanded things to a full 15 winners rather than 10 with 5 runners up. We're in the process of awarding those now, but everyone on the following list will or has already received a small amount of gold and a special item called the "MW Honor Guard" in recognition of making the game or community better for others.
Some of these will look like a no-brainer to most people, and some of them may be controversial, these are our winners. In no particular order:
Thief
Sgt RUD
Khimsoo
Thunder Child
McDoc
TheRipper
SpeedUmp
HookerGal
MickyMac
Ferr
Gigs
Solo
Hammer
Dansgek
Agent Orange
If you don't have your prize yet, don't worry, it is on its way. I still need invite codes for a couple of people though (notably Dansgek, HookerGirl, Solo and Gigs. Also, Agent Orange, I need to know which account you would like your prize on).
I will also be going through and adding a small amount of gold to everyone who was nominated whose game information I can get ahold of (for both recognition and the extreme patience while we were sorting through the correspondence on this), although that will happen tomorrow.
Thanks for helping make the game and community great, everyone. We will very likely be doing more things like this in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.
