I actually like the first prize entry best.

I agree, Jon. Great poem.

I liked all 3.

Grand prize one is quite awesome.

Grand prize one is quite awesome.

This

First was actually very nice, second was ok, third was awful. Really horrible.

I did not actually expect the submissions to be in that form. When I did a halfhearted entry myself, I just wrote within the box and submitted an old SS. Obviously submissions in this form would have an advantage.

The second submission was not good at all in my opinion. The rhyme was there, but it had no rhythm.

This.

I loved the first one, second too. The third I was kind of like ''okay it's not bad... but what the f'uck?" I'm sure a lot more entrys were better then that.

Okay...
1st is just as relevant pre-BB as it is post-BB. the artwork is great, I will concede, but that shouldn't have been the factor for why it won alone. Where's the memory, hunting for items to exchange at orbis? And you can't still do that now?

2nd was perfect. It was cute, fit the theme of reminiscence, and it wasn't a terribly done comic that had a lot of the aspects to MS to it.

3rd is typical basil screen-section drawing... booooooo.

grats to those that won all the same.

Third one... no, just no...

For the last one, I actually had to look at the Maple avatars to discern the genders.

Grants was good but i always get suss when he wins :/

I hated the third entry; has nothing to do with old Maple, it's just a (not very good) drawing of two Maplers. Sure, they're friends but that has nothing to do with the contest itself.

I actually liked the grand prize, because I kind of see what she's portraying with it. Dark background, showing that Big Bang happened, and her practically going "What happened here? What happened to the old Maple?" At least that's how I portrayed it... I could be totally wrong on that. There WAS no real memory involved, though... so at the same time, it's not really that deserving for GRAND prize.

Second entry was adorable and actually worth the reward.

I don't like neither of them.
Ironically I know who won the third one. Heh.

Grants was good but i always get suss when he wins :/

Ha. Nice guy but I feel the same way sometimes.

I'm liking the grand prize entry. Third is okay but it's nothing special that fits with the event.

How on earth did the third one even get chosen?

Poem?

1st is like a dream, I really like it.

2nd was the only one I liked, since it actually reminded me of 'old' MapleStory (Red Drakes, Pianus being a threat, playing around with horrible NX outfits). I didn't really understand 1st place, though the person said they submitted a paragraph with the image. 3rd place was just the typical undeserving entry (Yeah i'm hating).

Grant's cool, but Nexon uses him for alot of thier "Winning spot" fillers.

But above it all, I was really expecting some nub in an owl helmet to say "Plz l3t m3 b3 r@nd0m w1nn3r" to win one of those 3 prizes for the lolz
