A huge congratulations to every single one of our finalists! You all have made it so far, and it was such a pleasure to read your entries. Notes will be provided by PM so as not to influence votes.
HOW VOTING WORKS
A system developed by RappyTheDinosaur, each voter shall rank the competitors by the one most deserving of the win to the least deserving. You MUST also include an EXPLANATION for every single person's ranking. I will not accept votes otherwise, nor will I accept vote explanations such as "I really like this character more than the others." Also, this is not a popularity contest, and if I see similar votes across the board, I will get suspicious. Any sort of tampering of votes by strategically voted will be cause for penalty. As the host of the games, I am within good measure to be able to adequately define what each entry is and is not, and if an explanation seems to vary wildly from what the entry actually appears to be, I will require further explanation.
Example: we are ranking Harry Potter characters in terms of best to least/favourite to least favourite:
1. Minerva McGonagall + explanation about her defining traits and heroism
2. Luna Lovegood + explanation on her curiosity and personality
3. Hermione Granger + explanation about her intelligence and bravery
4. Severus Snape + explanation on personality and defining traits
VOTE BY PM ONLY
Obviously, all four are my actual favourites, but I've ranked them as so because all four finalists are deserving, and therefore there are some examples of possible explanations, just tweaked for the purpose of characters rather than writing.
Your top vote will receive 4 points, the second 3, the third 2, and the fourth will get 1.
Finalists are only allowed to vote if all of them vote, otherwise they will not be counted.
YOUR FINALISTS:
District Four, Jacqueline Ecclestone;
District Five, Leo Tolstoy;
District Eight, Roscoe Wayland;
District Nine, Follin Ryme.
VOTING WILL CLOSE MONDAY, MAY 16, 10PM GMT. Special Awards will be posted sometime before that, either an hour before or at ten EST the previous day.
For the final time, may the odds be ever in your favour.
