Golden Hat #18 Slaves

It seems that we cannot have a Golden Hat without the voting being close. How close I hear you ask? Crowd shouts “How close Willmark?” Well… the difference between 1st and 2nd place? 1 vote.  The difference between third and fourth? 1 vote.

So without further delay here are the Top Three entrants for the 18th Golden Hat Painting Contest.

FIRST PLACEm (Gold)- Entry #12 DAGabriel
<12

Second Place (Silver)- Entry #4 Bolg
<4

Third Place- Entry #3 (Bronze) Warh

Immortality awaits the winners as the prestigious Golden Hat medals will be awarded shortly and all entrants will receive 14 Slaves from the Staff’s slave pens. Special note to ryanamandaanna who missed a tie for third place by 1 vote…

DAGabriel:

Thanks for all the votes and congrats! Will wear the shiny new hat with pride.
@ Bolg: Would like to give a vote to Ryanamandaanna for a shared 1st and 3rd but well, excepting the mayas being right, there will be a next GH and we are so close that the luck can falter on either side.

Of slaves? I must take a look, think I long since fed them to the K´daii.
(Will take some time, no free day until 22nd)

Willmark:

Also if this put anyone to veteran status because of competing in 5 artisans or golden hat comps let me know. Send a PM with which ones you were in, links make my job easier and a happier dark lord.

warh:

Wow, did not think I would get in the top 3! Thanks everyone for voting and congrats to DAGabriel and Bolg!

clam:

Congrats to the winners and what a pleasant surprise it was seeing that many “out of the box” miniatures painted for once. We have been so used seeing self sculpted/heavily converted stuff here that I almost forgot it was at painting competition. Well done guys, all of you :slight_smile:

15

Willmark:

And if you say "...5 artisans or golden hat comps..." you mean exactly that?.  5 per competition?
Or can it be combined? For example, 2 artisans and 3 golden hat comps?

Herby
Combination of both.

Zanko:

vulcanologist:

Congrats to all my fellow entrants…another high standard of Golden Hat. Huge praise to the 3 medalists especially DaGabriel for his fine victory!

Abecedar:

I thought the criteria for the veteran status was supposed to be a secret… Is that a big Ooops or a cunning plan by the sneaky mods

19

Willmark:

Not that im aware of. I don’t think we’ve ever kept the requirements for vet status.

How slaves are awarded? Maybe you’re confusing it with that? That we do not reveal.

DAGabriel:

The Veteren’s Medal is awarded to those who have participated in forum competitions. The amount of participation required for each medal is kept a secret. Cited from here.

By the way, whom to contact for discrepances (when one rules thread says one thing and the other another thing)?
