Everquest Giveaway Winners!
Dialogue, 2004-08-13

Like I said on the contest page, it may take us a little while to get your prizes out to you. Hang onto your hats while we get everything sorted out. Until then, and without futher ado, we have the winning entrants into the contest! Each individual entry was awarded a prize based on their funniest caption. Some folks have more than one entry below under the screenshots. They didn't win an additional prize, we just felt that more than one of their captions was funny.

Some statistics for you:

• Over a quarter of the entrants made some sort of lewd comment about the first screenshot. I guess those orcs look cheeky.
• The third screenshot had the most harmonious of all the entrants. Nearly 50 people sent in captions for that screen with some variation on "Can someone help me find my contact?"
• In all, there were exactly 214 entrants.
• Of those, roughly a quarter do not own Everquest.
• Of the ones who do own EQ, the expansion that was least owned was (not unsurprisingly) Gates of Discord.
