Excellent job, Thieves and Monks. And seriously, honourable mentions to the Black Mages for that insane point racking. Dragoons, Soldiers, White Mages, let's try harder next round!

Congrats to everyone for an awesome round. ♥

Congrats to the Thonks! XD ...And to the Black Mages for their awesome first place standing and amazing point-getting skills! ♥

~And congrats to the White Mages, Soldiers, and Dragoons too! Let's all try our best next round! XD

[the-404-error.livejournal.com]

I'll just say congrats too all teams for making this fun and interesting!

... and hopefully the soldiers and dragoons will get higher scores next round. ;X

+4133 is kind of epic. We're even more awesome than I thought we were... and I already thought we were high up on the awesome scale!

Great job, Team Thonks! Congrats to everyone for making this round so awesome...

Also. +4133 to us? O___O I LOVE MY FELLOW BLACK MAGES. I DO.

*fistpump* HECK YEAH that's some fine placings for Team Thonk, guys! A big nod to the Thieves, who were consistently fantastic and have some hella talented people among their ranks. From art, to writing, to the funny - you guys did fantastic.

As for ze Monks, I'm so proud of you guys. We dropped off a little towards the end (totally forgot to vote a few times myself), but hopefully next game will see some re-ignition of true grit and fighting spirit! Special mentions to Eilia, who did a fantastic job as an ff_minigames mod on top of teamwork with us, Frei who is fighting the good fight with higher education (do I know the feeling there), and B, whose kind spirit and desire to do her best is an inspiration for all! :3

Massive props to the late-starting juggernaut that has been Team Black Mage. Absolutely fantastic stuff in terms of participation, the content you've come up with (writing and artistry included) while also being collectively awesome and supportive to other teams or in the general comms (such as the airship_lounge).

Fantastic late momentum was also seen from Team Soldier - you guys have the means in which to become a dominant force in the next Game, and I'd love to see how far you guys can take this. You've no shortage of talent or awesome! Hey, maybe you guys will be able to take Team Juggernaut Black Mage next time, eh? :3

I also think that Team White Mage has a lot of unseen potential, and could in fact be the sleeping giant of the next game. We've all seen a taste of what the White Mages can do, and it's a scary prospect! :D

As for the Dragoons, hopefully things will pick up next Game. You guys suffered a terrible blow to your numbers mid-game, and I hope that we get a few more epic-scale Dragoons (like roax, thedrowned, stormloire, or laifan) to even the playing field a little.

All in all? Fantastic work, guys. My first ever time in a landcomm was a blast! :3

lol, Hey Tiz

Oh I see how it is. Out for dinner with the family, so bored I could cry

~Haha, yes...we'll thump everyone in the back of the head with staffs and then we'll heal you later--once our victory is assured! XD

Thank you though, your talk of all of the teams' strengths and weaknesses was really wonderful--I couldn't agree more with what you said about everyone. All of the team members did great and there's a lot of potential for fun in the next round for everyone. ♥

Aww thanks for mentioning Dragoons, it made me feel much better since I was kind of frustrated it was only a few of us trying but it was still fun/worth it.

OMG!!!!!! WHAT?!!! Black Mages!!!

[panda3035.livejournal.com]

I can't believe we rack up so much points for the last blitz for 1st place!! Congrats everyone! We outdone ourselves! Congrats to Team Thonk for staying in first place since the beginning, i think.

Re: OMG!!!!!! WHAT?!!! Black Mages!!!

[glacialphoenix]

I know, right? I kept thinking, 'Hey, I can't believe we made it past the 2000 mark!' and apparently we made it past the 4000 mark. O___O

Great job everyone, congrats Thieves and Monks! The Thief contest-winning and icon-making skills are astounding, and I bow to the Monks writing ability and minigames scores, considering that one of the most active members of your team can't even participate in them.

White Mages were great partners, there's some great talent and heart there. The Dragoons started strong, and the Soldiers ended that way - hopefully both can recapture or continue that fighting spirit!

...but the super-special awesomeness award goes to my team. You guys are awesome! Almost doubled our point totals - simply amazing. While the contests were obviously a huge part of that, the minigames points is the more impressive of the two, I think! 1386 points, all just a couple at a time, is fantastic. You guys are inspiring.

[arivess.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow!

CONGRATS EVERYONE!

Good job, Thiefies and Monkies! :DDDDDDD

And, wow, Black Mages. That was insane. XD

Also, great job to White Mages, Soldiers, and Dragoons! You guys really started getting there towards the end!

I look forward to playing with everyone again next game. <333

Congratulations to everyone!

Nicely done, Mugging Thonks! From what I understand, both of you started out strong and stayed that way the whole round, which is impressive. *thumbs up*

And Mages! Wow, just...wow. Black mages broke the 5 figure mark. *goggles* Both of you had some fantastic entries and some really strong participants.

And Team Draconian Steel! Hey, we need a nifty name too, no? I am super excited by our momentum towards the end of the round, and am glad that the Dragoons were able to rally from early losses to their team.

All of you were a blast to play with! ♥

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Oh wow...congratulations to all of the teams! The Mugging Thonks had great momentum and a lot of wonderful participants to so many of the challenges (and awesome fan-works submitters too! ♥)...and the Black Mages just completely dominated every challenge with their awesome awesomeness. :)

Team Draconian Steel (hehe, I love name! ♥) had some really great participants--and Team Dragoon really dominated the mini-games field. Team Soldier has some awesome members, and their domination in the later rounds was truly superb and I know great things will come from both teams in the next round. *waves support banner*

And as for Team White Mage...yay, we actually managed to sneak into fourth place from fifth in the later portions of this game which was awesome. Everyone contributed greatly where they could, and we had a lot of fun. We'll make even more points in the next round, I'm sure of it! Congrats. ♥

Congratulations to all of the teams again for an awesome gaming session, and the next round promises to be insanely fun! :D
