Factory Lore Challenge - WINNERS

[Jorus Merrill]

We had many qualified entrants and many of the results were very close. [member="Spencer Varanin"] has authorized me to dish out some honorable mention prizes, but still: don't be disheartened if you didn't quite place. The margins really were that tight, and many of the submissions really were that good. Independent of each other, a panel of judges rated each of these submissions according to several distinct criteria. Thanks to all contestants for an awesome contest. I had a great time running it and being one of the judges, and I hope we end up doing more contests that help us flesh out our submissions in creative ways.

Ladies and gentlebeings, I give you the winners of the Factory Lore Challenge.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

• 'Rengus Pelastus' - Ring of Rescue, by [member="Vorhi Alestrani"]
• The Rogue's Coins, by [member="Macharius Solaire"]

Each Honorable Mention winner receives a one-time waiver for 10 posts' worth of development thread, including restricted materials.

THIRD PRIZE

• Tsawak Gauntlets (Embodiment), by [member="Cerita Sarova"]

The Third Prize winner receives a one-time waiver for 25 posts' worth of development thread, including restricted materials.

SECOND PRIZE

• Yugwaaargh Wood, Flesh of the Wroshyr, by [member="Gabriel Sionoma"]

The Second Prize winner receives a one-time waiver for 35 posts' worth of development thread, including restricted materials.

GRAND PRIZE

• Soul-Steel, by [member="Captain Larraq"]

The Grand Prize winner receives a one-time waiver for all development for one of the following Factory submissions.

• A mass-produced starship or space station up to 2,000 metres in length.
• A minor-production starship or space station up to 3,000 metres in length.
• A unique non-combat space station up to 10,000 metres in length. (Note that all ship- or station-related prizes must still fall within the standard faction/corporation ownership rules, and may not be used as precedents for later submissions.)
• A company which starts at Tier 4.
• Any restricted material objective at any reasonable level of production. (For example, mass-produced beskar-plated Star Destroyers would not be considered plausible. Note that a submission may require other development for especially powerful features unrelated to the restricted material.)
• Any standard Technology/Vehicle/Starship submission as reasonable.
• One non-combat submission involving quantum armor, a substance which is normally banned without explicit SWRP Staff Team permission. This submission must have a production level of Unique and cannot be reverse engineered in any way.
• The Grand Prize winner may also choose to apply their development waiver to any past, present, or future Flagship thread, reducing the mandatory post count from 400 to 200.

Note that all submissions still need to get through the Factory on their own merits.

Thanks again, everyone. This was a blast.
