Hello everyone! It is now time for the results to be announced. Round 2โs results look something like below. The judges were Devashree (devashree_h), Nirvana (DushtKanya), and myself. I scrapped the bonus points in favour of being a judge as I felt it was unfair to try to choose one story, given both were so good.
Slytherins and Hufflepuffs were awarded 25 points each in the bonus category for division of labour. As Gryffindors dropped out during the game, I awarded the Ravenclaws 40 points in the same category. With those bonus points and with the Round 2 bonus points, the final score looks like this:
Congratulations to the Hufflepuffs who have won the game!
As I have ended the game early, there will be no bonus points awarded to Prefects. I did have plans to give awards out, but as I had to end the game suddenly, I couldnโt get awards made. Still, you all can celebrate your awards your own way. ๐
But before the award ceremony, I want to extend a thank you to the judges of Round 2 Continue the Story โ Nirvana (DushtKanya) and Devashree (devashree_h). I also want to heartily thank Sandhya (Sevenstreaks) for all her lovely tags and the quick turnaround with these beautiful siggies.
Now I have a few awards to hand out (figuratively speaking). NC tried to give it away early on in the competition, but anyways I managed to keep it a secret.
The first award to hand out is to the Coolest Prefect! This award goes to: WildestDreams! Based on the Prefects and the actions I saw, WD was the most laidback and chill Prefect who never got involved unless I asked for her opinion on something (when I was asking all Prefects).
We then have an award for the Best Owl. Obviously, there was only one Owl throughout the competition, but I must say, she did her job well. Sock-let come on up and get your Owl award.
The next award is for IMM2 Deewani. I mean obviously if Iโm going to have a round on them I want to see who becomes deewani. TC_FA and asmaanixx can share this award. The amount of times Iโve seen them talk about VR makes me think they both plan on marrying VR at some point.
The next award is to HP Fan Numero Uno. Again, a split award between Alexia_Wilson, Firebolt, and ProfMcGonagall. Seriously two people have HP names. Like obviously they would win.
I had a couple of other awards planned that would have happened with the remaining rounds and by talking to members, but I had to scrap them unfortunately. They were Most Creative Team (which would be based on your marks in Rounds 2, 4, and 6), Gayab Sadasye (the member from each house that was just gayab the whole time), Most Energetic Prefect (based on what members would have told me about their Prefects), and of course the Best Prefect award (this would have been based on what members told me about their prefects and the notes I had taken on each prefect - the Best Prefect would have walked away with 100 bonus points for their house).
All in all, a big congrats to all the participants! You really made it far and have done it!
