Winners Announced

The winners in the "Name The Mall" contest are as follows:

First Prize - BeastyClaire
Second Prize - JazzyCat
Third Prize - JazzyCat (again)

For full details, scroll down.

-----
Well, I created this contests forum so.. let's have a contest.

As you know, the mall currently is without a witty name, and it needs one. Rather than think of a name ourselves, which is just a bit too much like work, we've decided to turn it over to you.

Prizes

FIrst Prize: 1,000,000 (1 million) moolah
Second Prize: 350,000 moolah
Third Prize: 150,000 moolah

Rules

* Post your entries as replies to this forum thread, before Intermission on 5th October, 2008
* The mall name should be reasonably short, original, catchy and preferably include a reference or pun of some kind
* You can offer up as many names as you can think of. Each name comprises one entry. If one person contributes the three best entries, that person will receive all three prizes.
* The winning entry will not necessarily be included in the game, however the best three entries will still receive prizes as stated
* Entry is open to all except official Dev Team members (that's anyone with a PID less than 500)
* The contest will be judged by myself and 2 other Dev Team members (to be advised) before Intermission on 6th October, 2008
* The judges' decision is final
* Prizes will be awarded as soon as the decision is made

Let me introduce...MOP...

Where you can find all of your [cleaning] supplies in one convient location!

*THE* Mall of Paradox! (note had to do this due to regional relation

)
We're located just North of the Spiffilicious River, at the intersection of Impalix 494 and Highwaywomen 273

Where you can have some fun at Barry's Burger Bits Barn, making your own burgers, provided that you bring your own bun and meat. Or The Pharmacologicopaediatorium, where it has all your snot, and boo-boo bandage needs, and some cream...you can do what you want with that

And the Supermegagoogolplex Cinema, though it's currently underconstruction, and we're not even sure if it's going to show movies yet or not.

Otherwise outside we have the beautiful Charlie Gardens Memorial Park, where you can take a jog, step in something gross, fight off some pigeons for some of your soggy bread. Don't forget to bring a helmet for the squirrels!!

Escher Mall in Downtown Paradox
Outskirts Mall (Hey when it was built.....)

1. Paradox Mall, where you shop 'till you drop, then get up and shop again. Or Else.
Are we going for the name? Or a description on top of that? I don't really understand.

It seems that some people (*cough* unknownz *cough*) have been getting a bit too creative, but as stated pretty clearly in the original post, we're just after a short, catchy name for the mall. That's it. Just a name.

Wow, some more great entries for sure. I definitely have some favourites, and it looks like picking a winner is going to be a bit on the tricky side. There are still 6 days to go, so keep thinking and make the judges work hard for their... whatever it is they get out of judging. A sense of satisfaction or something I guess.

The contest is closed, Elljae and I have picked our favourites, and I'll announce the winners as soon as I can find a third person to judge.

Time to put this thing to rest. There were a heap of awesome entries here, and choosing a winner was particularly difficult. With few exceptions, the judges voted for a bunch of different stuff, and in the end we had to get a fourth judge to split the difference. In the end, entries were awarded points from 5 to 1, and winners were awarded based on the total of all scores.

There was a very clear winner, however. All judges rated this entry very highly, and with a final total of 18 points out of a possible 20, I'm pleased to announce that, henceforth, the "Mall without a witty name" shall be known as (drumroll)....

"Moolah Rouge Mall"

Congratulations to BeastClaire (#501), who takes away the 1,000,000 moolah first prize!

In second place was an entry from someone who clearly has a talent for this kind of thing (having already given us the "It's About Time" tagline). On 10 points, it's JazzyCat (#503) with "Anomaly" (or "Anomally").

You're not going to believe this, but in third place... Yep, it's JazzyCat AGAIN with an entry that I initially missed (sorry Jazzy) but is quite clever and catchy and well worth the third prize. That entry? On 7 points - "Magic 8".

So, in summary:
First Prize - BeastyClaire
Second Prize - JazzyCat
Third Prize - JazzyCat (again)

Congratulations to all winners!

I will be distributing prizes by Pmail in a minute, but while I'm at it, I've decided to award 50,000 moolah to everyone who entered. Just because. This too will be distributed shortly.

All prizes have now been distributed. If you entered, and didn't get at least 50,000 moolah consolation prize, please send me a Pmail.
