Inspiration
It's a bit "me too," but thanks to the organizers and the forum for such an event in such a fine location. Castle's not normally my thing, but I'm tempted to dig out my various pieces (mostly from the old King's Castle) and take a swing at something different like a chapel. Well, maybe once I'm done playing with the stage space I've built...
But - congrats to the winners. I'd figured that either "Cry of the Ancients" - the excellent Vikings vs. Skeletons scene - or the excellent battering ram siege would have placed, but I'm sure they were on the shortlist.

Hey,
Congrats to Rocko, Weasel47, Olog and all of the participants. A huge thanks to Josh for once again hosting a great contest. I'm really glad I didn't have to judge this one. There was such a large number of high quality entries that it must have been very difficult.

Congratulations to the winners!
I am sorry about me not participating, but my girlfriend left me ((
And I focused all my recourses on bringing her back
It took few days, and I missed 5th
But nevertheless, I've made brand new moc castle, and armed great army. I will put some pictures in a day or two, because it is not important to win - it is important to play:)

Congratulations to the winners. Once again, CC has produced a contest that really highlights the talents of the builders on this site. It was a pleasure to see all of these great entries.

Wow, you're away from the internet for a couple of days & the contest gets judged - typical - exciting things always happen when I'm away Thanks, Josh for holding a great contest which saw many fine entries, you did a great job
Congratulations to the winners, especially Rocko, it's great to see one of my favourite castle builders take out the prize. Well done everyone, it was a real joy participating as always.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words regarding this contest. I think it was a big success. But that isn't my fault. Without the outstanding entries by all of you this would not have happened. So thank you all for entering. It was a pleasure to look over your most excellent battles and an honor to sit in judgment on them.
Build On! (just something other than battles, ok?)

Not gonna happen. Its hard enough to pick the top three. I'm not going to make a list of the top how-ever-many. It was good...I am tired...It is done.Voran_the_Scholar wrote:I have a question. Are the top runners up going to be mentioned? Or is that not going to happen?

Okay. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks, Josh, for putting so much effort into this. It really made me stretch myself.JoshWedin wrote:Not gonna happen. Its hard enough to pick the top three.
