Competition of Heroic Interviews Supported by GAMER.ru and CBR. Results

So, my dear birds of happiness, how are the nerves treating you? It's too late to be nervous now, as I hold the results of the contest, final and, well... undeniable! To start off, in the spirit of the genre, I'll stretch out the time a bit, although the particularly impatient ones have already skimmed through these words and are rummaging about in the area of the winners announcement. But I will say it anyway...

IMPRESSIONS

A picture to grab attention. Or distract... doesn't matter.

A total of 43 works were received for the contest, with 7 of them arriving on the last day. And 3 in the last hour, while I was battling with a malfunctioning preview and quietly cursing into the astral plane. The fight was indeed intense, and I am once again grateful to all the jury members who agreed to sacrifice themselves for the sake of judging.

The jury consisted of six brave souls, from both your side and ours, as they say. Representing the administration of GAMER.ru were (you'll never guess!) svetakru and NoFate, while from the users: agrippa, Eversleeping, Darrggon, and AQuaRity. They distributed their votes among the three best works, in their opinion. So now you know who is to blame for everything and whom to stalk in the alley to catch them by their coat button.

A complete list of works, if anyone forgot/lost/couldn't find/and so on, can be viewed here.

WINNERS

This is roughly what the jury looked like when faced with a heap of works.

And now, the most delicious part. For me, the intrigue lasted until the very last vote (which, by the way, is true), and I think it did for you as well. So, please announce the full list!...

• I PLACE

The first place, the CBR KB 355GLM keyboard, the CBR CM 610 White mouse, and 100 experience points goes to Enigma\_Warfire for the interview with Kate Walker (the work is located here). Siberia, battle mammoths, and Jack Sparrow's compasses did their dark deed, so in some time you can expect a review of gifts and thanks on the portal's blog. Congratulations to Enigma!


• II PLACE

The second place, the CBR CMS 550 B acoustic system, and 80 experience points goes to Mr\_Moxnat for the interview with Andrew Ryan (the work is located here). The fluffy mister quietly sat in the bushes throughout the contest, like a partisan, only to shoot his work at the jury exactly at 20:00 on the closing day. You shoot accurately, sir, you hit the bullseye!


• III PLACE

The third place, the CBR CW 110 USB mug warmer, and 50 experience points goes to Exstas for the interview with Lara Croft (the work is located here). The hedgehog, who also launched Lara into space on the last day, took an unconventional approach to the interview, and lady Croft turned out to be so lively and human, not an über-tank. Well done!


ADDITIONAL GOODIES

And now, we shall magically grant experience to the smartest...

Now about additional prizes in the form of my +5 to author posts and experience from the administration (this consolation prize showed up at the very end of the contest when it became clear that not awarding some works would be unfair). All these gentlemen receive an additional 100 experience points from the administration for their efforts.

• der-komandant for the interview with Pac-Man.

• vladforn for the interview with Kalkstein.

• Hocc for the interview with GLADOS.

• Smol for the interview with Gromila.

• ArDec for the interview with Tommy Vercetti.

• Drebin\_101 for the interview with Zoltan Hiwaem.

• FruktoZa for the interview with The Nameless.

• HiFly for the interview with Diablo.

• Oktotorp for the interview with The Worm.

Gentle authors, you are great, and that's why you will be punished. :-D

All winners, please compile lists of your surnames-addresses-zip codes (and phone numbers - for Muscovites) and send them to me in private message (along with your apartment keys, yes), so I can forward your details to Sveta all at once.

All authors I mentioned, please prepare for the fireworks and discharges. If you want, you can send me lists of your author posts. I would be immensely grateful for simplifying navigation.

So, I have everything. Once again, thank you for the activity of all distinguished participants, the company CBR for the prizes, and the portal administration for their help in conducting the contest. Get ready for the relocation of works and know that you are awesome. And I am off to do my dark +5 work... mwahaha! You know, one cannot be famous for good deeds, as one stylish woman of strict rules used to say.
