I would like to say that this is really turning out to be one of my favorite past times to watch here on Wyrd and am VERY happy to have it hosted here - its interesting to watch people push themselves and to get so inventive with their entries.

[Duende]

Yay, birdie versus bovine final round!

What's the theme? What's the theme!?!!

:cheers:

[supervike]

patience my young padawan....LOL...


more fun filled scoring facts from the last round....


Highest Score.....Stupid Cow with 50

Best in THEME.....Wren with 14

Best in TECHNIQUE....Stupid Cow with 13

Best in 'overall aesthetic'....Stupid Cow with 24.5


Interesting fact....Stupid Cow had originally LOST to our reigning champ SKYA (in RD 2), but earned the coveted 'hey give me another chance' nomination....Wren, however defeated Skya (rd 3).....What does that mean?

[Stupidcow]

I'm surprised the results are out even before we get EricJ to comment on them. Anyhow I should have nothing to complain about the outcome. Appreciate the effort of Beelzebrush for putting up a good show despite the loss of his faithful dog. Judging from the scores I think I owe my win to FF! (Wipe away sweat on forehead secretly).

Now to relax on a lush green pasture while waiting for the finals to start.

[Hinton]

Congrats to the winners! Good luck in the final round.

[Wren]

Congrats to Stupidcow, and all my fellow competitors! I don't envy the judges their work on this last round, I think everyone did great and fun stuff. I'm a bit on tenterhooks awaiting news of the final theme...

[LavronYor]

Great job Wren, and Stupidcow. Well Beelz, it's you and me next time, eh?

I'd like to thank everyone who left me comments and encouragement along the way. I can hardly wait til the next IRON tourney.

[Frustrated Father]

Ya'll did great work with these and it is always an interest to me to see how the judges vote on these and how close we come on some and diverge on others - particularly interesting if you go back and do a bit of studying and looking at the entries and scores and ya'll might pick up on some of the things that really pull our strings and what doesn't. I know I've learned a thing or two about my counterparts and I'm sure some might have picked up on mine too.

Again, congratulations. I'm really looking forward to this last matchup and a whole new Iron Painter to come as I think this just gets better and better as it goes.

[EricJ]

nice work all, and particularly the to the winners!

I've actually been considering being a contestant next time, it'd be nice to be on the other side of things next time perhaps! (and jumpstart my painting some perhaps?)

[Frustrated Father]

There ya go .. think I would like to see ol' Eric under the gun actually ...

Me, I'll stay a judge if I'm asked but it would be interesting to see the Wyrd Painters have at each other and the public if they are of a mind too.

[EricJ]

Nathan just wants to see me a crying loser I think!

But this final should be good, can't wait to see the theme which defines the field of battle

[Skya]

Woot! I'm rooting for Wren....
:cheer2:


.. cause you know, I already beat StupidCow. *evil grin*

(no I still havent found an evil grin smiley I really like so :eviltongu)

[Stupidcow]

Now where's my supporters?

:elefant::thcow2::elefant:

[Maestro]

WOOOOO!!!! Go Stupid! Go Stupid!

[Stupidcow]

I just had another look at the scores which doesn't seem right. My score should be 49 and not 50 & LavonYor's should be 45 and not 46, unless supervike himself is secretly helping the underdogs.

Oh no wait even Wren's score is wrong by a point. The score on best overall and stuff are also wrong. Hmm maths sure is hard.

[Malebolgia]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Go Cow...go cow! Long live red meat and milk!

Congratulations to Wren and cow! That should be one grand finale. Looking forward to seeing the theme. Maybe it is 'Mooooooody' ;)

[EricJ]

Cue the kirk-spock dramatic duel music - it's ON!

now which one is kirk and which is spock...hmmmm

[Wren]

Woo hoo, the last winner is rooting for me, that's gotta be good mojo. ;->

Hmm... with his recent display of math expertise, I'm going to nominate Stupidcow for Spock. Plus I'm a Canadian like Shatner, and have been accused of talking funny.

[Beelzebrush]

Grats SC... Was hammered by the rather large margin in the FF round up :(

Good luck in the next round... pm me your address and I'll get a mini to you.

Egads...

Let me profusely apologize.

There is absolutely NO excuse for errors like these.

The problem was not my math, but my ability to copy these scores correctly to a pad of paper. I hastily did that yesterday and added the scores up a bit later. I had a million things going on yesterday, and wanted to get the scores posted. I should have double and triple checked the scoring. AGAIN...there is NO excuse for this, and I feel terrible about it...

However, their is no change to the winners, although their were scoring errors, it did not affect the outcome in either matchup.

Final totals were this...

Wren 47, LavronYor 45
Stupid Cow 48.5, Beezlebrush 47.5

I have traditionally posted the official judges scoring from each round to prevent any illusion of wrong doing....then I go ahead and make an error like this....UGH!

A million apologies...

[EricJ]

my vote is for Tar and Feathers :)

[LavronYor]

wow, now I feel like Al Gore. and vikey still is misspelling Beelzebrush's name.

[cdukino]

great work all. Definatly some close shots. Curious about the final theme. Next time i want in again, in the iron painter.

[Beelzebrush]

wow, now I feel like Al Gore. and vikey still is misspelling Beelzebrush's name.

LOL... well I've only been in the comp for 2 months :( :)

[LavronYor]

Implying what.... slowness or intentional disrespect? just kidding vikey

[supervike]

Beelzebrush

Beelzebrush

Beelzebrush

Beelzebrush

Beezlebrush....DAMN!

[Duende]

Poor vike... can't add, can't spell...

Is that what it takes to be a moderator??? No wonder I never was offered a position here. I can do those things! :p:

[Stupidcow]

Didn't mean to rub into the wound (since it doesn't affect the outcome), but Vike seriously needs some rest as its the 2nd time he counted the scores wrongly.

[Maestro]

I thought smack-talk was supposed to be directed towards the (fellow) contestants, not towards the Great Leader, the Supervisor...

Bunch of whiners...

[supervike]

I will do better next time!!

I do need some rest.........

[Ritual]

Don't worry Jim! :)

So, what's the theme for the big final? (The match-up is not an issue this time... )

[LavronYor]

Yeah, no worries. I think someone must have slipped you some Kryptonite. So get some rest.....

after you announce the theme;-)

[Frustrated Father]

Ya'll made Jim upset and I got an e-mail saying he wasn't going to be doing these anymore. I'll pick the theme to finish this off and we'll figure something out.
































<suckers>

[Duende]

*Looking at calendar*

Last time I checked, April Fool's Day was APRIL 1st, not December 1st.

:aetsch:

[EricJ]

Nathan, you big jerk! I had a box of tissues half packed to send to supervike to help with all the crying already!

[LavronYor]

Man, I was really going to feel bad if that had been true.

Jim you can call me Larva Y Nor for all I care, just don't stop doing this contest..

[EricJ]

seriously, you've started the NEXT GREAT painting phenomenon. Skya will be the next Kelly Clarkson, unfortunately the winner this time will have to be Rubben Studdard...:(

[Skya]

Damn it! I almost breathed soda out my nose.

*keels over and dies laughing*

:fight:

[LavronYor]

Figuratively, I hope.

[Skya]

Figuratively, I hope.

Nah, I'll just do the whole ressurection thing. Tis the season you know.

[Duende]

Nah, I'll just do the whole ressurection thing. Tis the season you know.

I thought the "whole ressurection thing" wasn't until Easter? I guess Skya's out of the IP until spring!

:rip: :saint:

At least everyone else will have a better chance next time. Stupidcow can rest easy. ;)

Bah! Birth, ressurection, close enough. Grrr, my name is Noel, you'd think I'd ba able to keep these things straight.
