Battle Royal: Final Results!

[a_bit_of_wit_2]

And so, at long last, Battle Royal has come to an end. With it, the end of an era on Fantasy World. These past 8 contests have been great, but for all its fun, I'm glad it's over. 3 months of giving up my evenings for these can be weary. So, even though this was my last large-scale contest, the new format begins next summer. Basically, it's going to still be the same type of contest: single elimination, polls and such, but it's going to be much smaller. 32 characters instead of 128. 3 weeks instead of 3 months. To everyone who participated, not just in this contest, but in the previous 7, thank you very much. Really. It's been great fun, and I know that you enjoy playing along as I do running them. I hope, that with the switch to the shorter format this summer, I won't lose you, and I hope you play along again. But before I get too sentimental and mushy, let's get the final results out of the way. If you prefer to get the podcast, download it via the link below. I'll also give you the final leaderboard graphic.
