This year's Easter period saw more competitions take place than ever before, with the traditional Easter Egg hunt complimented by a glut of contests courtesy of the Community Events forum. The entry window for each of these competitions has now closed, and below we've summarised the winners for the benefit of those who would like to feel aggrieved at not having won.
Torn April Fools
The Torn April Fools contest required entrants to tell us their true stories of trickery and foolery. This was one of the strongest categories, and it was won by its very first entrant, Actuariolam. Her individual pranks involving jello staplers and cardboard Liberaces may not have been enough to secure her victory, but by listing several incidents of japery she wowed the judge with her commitment to quantity over quality.
Second place went to L4suicide for an entry which referenced Torn and supplied evidence of her misdeeds. Scams are always popular with the Duke, and it seems he chose this entry for the seemingly casual way in which L4suicide went about conning the entire Torn community. Third place was awarded to CrypticBruh, whose tale of a staged burglary prank gone wrong was rounded off nicely with a punchline of impromptu child abuse.
Special mentions were also given to the likes of Hopslam, Wadertx and Avarliea, each of whom received an Easter Egg, as did several other entrants who impressed Judge Duke.
Bring Back Dogs
This contest was also well subscribed and stocked with high-quality entries. Participants were asked to tweet or Instagram his holiness the Pope to ask for his help in bringing dogs back to Torn. Our dogless state has been a cause for concern for some time now, and it seems Pope Francis remains our last hope of persuading the notorious canine-racist, Chedburn, to relax his ban on man's best friend.
Incredibly, one of our competition's entrants managed to elicit a genuine reply from the leader of the Holy See, with Hanamichi's definitely authentic response below meaning she had to be declared the winner.
Second-placed Mujera's effort was short but sweet, with her creative use of the word 'bassackwards' allowing her to convey her frustrations without actually swearing at the head of the Catholic Church. Her tweet also contained a revelation most profound, as this studious citizen deciphered the word God to discover that it actually spells Dog backwards.
Keelosncreme's entry was deemed good enough for third place; partially thanks to her reference to the Forgiven merit, but mostly because she slid straight into the Pope's DMs like an absolute player. We have yet to discern whether Keelosncreme received a reply, but if she did, this reporter is in no doubt that said response almost certainly contained a picture of the Pope's most blessed obelisk.
Special mentions went to DarylPang for his reference to Leslie's lunch, Quilogy for somehow managing to neg the Pope, Zed for quoting a relevant passage from the Bible, and Jesus, for being the actual son of God. These and other outstanding entrants will also receive an Easter Egg courtesy of the Duke.
Easter Eggstravaganza
Only 21 people could be bothered to paint eggs for the Easter Eggstravaganza competition, so those who did stood a good chance of being selected for some kind of prize. The winner was RichR, with his tableaux of egg-based warfare employing cardboard and marker pen to great effect.
In second place Duke plumped for DudeSweet who animated his entry, with his egg-Leslie joined by a clever spinning egg wheel whose movement could only have been made possible through the use of sorcery.
Third place went to Vampyre_Yuki for her casino themed eggsibit. The judge was especially impressed with her intricately painted wheel and slot eggs, and the inclusion of what we presume are edible bullets tipped the odds firmly in Yuki's favour.
Eggs were given out to those who had clearly put in a great deal of effort, but special mention was afforded solely to Vladar for his sassy comment on the perpetually delayed nature of some of Torn's most hotly anticipated updates.
Good Friday Memes
This competition seemed to confuse many people as few entries fulfilled the criteria stated in the original post. Highly rated memes by wedge_antilles and Mujera were given eggs for being funny, but neither managed to display something both good and bad in a Torn context. Duke couldn't decide on an overall winner for the Good Friday Memes contest, so he broke the rules and awarded natASSha and Rainbowsaurus joint first place.
natASSha's entry pointed out two of the many pros and cons associated with level holding, whereas Rainbowsaurus took umbrage and pleasure from the knowledge that Torn will soon have access to beards.
Avarliea came in second thanks to her observation that while scamming is now legal, it is now easier than ever to drop 440 million on a snowboard masquerading as a skateboard.
VinnyCarwash was awarded third with his meme regarding Rosary Beads being 10% more effective, despite nobody knowing whether they do much of anything at all. Also, he implied they could be inserted into your back passage, and this is a topic which never fails to appeal to Duke.
Several memes which did not meet the criteria but were nevertheless funny were awarded with an Easter Egg. And with that final bit of information to shovel your way, we have reached the conclusion of our latest competition roundup. But with contests and events popping up almost on a monthly basis, one wonders what the next few months will have in store for us. Will Cannabis do anything differently on April 20th? Might St George's Day be celebrated in some way? And what in the name of all that is holy will happen on World Milk Day? I guess you'll have to wait to find out.
