SD has just given a hard slapp on my back


Me?

I really should change my nick so I know if someone is talking about me or about StarDock. I can usually tell, though.
"These programs are awesome" = Stardock
"What the hell is this thing you made?" = Sleeping Dragon

Sorry I mentioned you as a judge, BX. I should not have. I did not know it was to be anonymous. Please accept my apology.

Anyway, like A_67 says "On with the contest!!!!"

I find it easy: any reference to a swift kick = me.

Maybe I can change my name to Big Goofy Dragon Wearing Gold Ornaments and a Bow at Christmas. Then people can call me BGDWGOAABAC.

Yes, the contest is finally coming to an end.
With just a few hours left before any more entries can be accepted the judges can begin to grade the skins/themes. It has been a great contest and the authors have presented some wonderful work.
I really want to extend my gratitudes to everyone involved and those who participated. And a very special thanks to the judges and sponsors; Ms. X, SleepingDragon, IslandDog, Geyster, and Stardock Corp.
It shows once again that WC kicks @$$

The plot thickens. Agreed, A_67. WC is so full of incredible talent. Thanks to all who participated. Still might be a skin or two submitted before the deadline. I am extremely impressed by the submissions to date.

..... and thanks to Apocalypse 67 for all of his work in this contest.

Good luck everyone..thanks a_67 for arranging contest. Im glad I'm not a judge. I have liked just about everything. A skin doesnt need to have 5 stars for me to love it. Flaws make things unique.

And thanks a_67 for a remarkable holiday blind that im using now. Easy on the eyes yet , festive.
