Now, judging for this was pretty difficult, all-around. As much as I would love to say 'fuck it, you entered, you all win'; but c'mon... we're Goons. You'd never let me live that down.

First, AJ_Impy managed to capture the pure, unadulterated of Far Country with a single audio entry. That is... impressive; especially since he didn't need to create any original content.

Second, ZeeToo solved the canonicity problems of Far Country with the holy power of muppet babies; which truly can make anything better.

Bobbin Threadbare's entry was fucking prolific. It was consistent, readable, and quite enjoyable. He spent a lot of time on it, and it really shows.



So, for bragging rights (and a prize, I guess), the contest winner is Bobbin Threadbare! Congratulations, Bobbin, you read Far Country for us!

FCFP1) Help me plan the next scenario. Also, bragging rights!
FCFP2) Name five as-yet unnamed Clan Omnis. Also, bragging rights!
FCFP3) Choose whether one Great House or Clan suffers either a windfall or a setback of some kind. Also, bragging rights!
FCFP4) Help me write fluff that makes 'Far Country' a canon story in my timeline (if you choose this, I will kill you). Also, bragging rights!
FCFP5) Poptarts, I'm not doing this for the prize, I'm doing this to inflict Far Country on everyone. Also, bragging rights!



AJ_Impy, as our runner up and to commend your work (and absolutely not because I want to encourage other people to enter future contests), you win a lesser prize!

FCSP1) Select a weight- and era- appropriate 'Mech for the next scenario. Also, slightly reduced bragging rights!
FCSP2) Name two as-yet unnamed Clan Omnis (Bobbin Threadbare potentially gets first pick). Also, slightly reduced bragging rights!
FCSP3) Pick the first Lostech weapon that ComStar panics and passes back to the Successor States (from a limited list). Also, slightly reduced bragging rights!



Last, but certainly not least, ZeeToo takes third place!

FCTP1) Name an as-yet unnamed Clan Omnimech (AJ_Impy and Bobbin Threadbare potentially get first pick)!
FCTP2) Pick an (appropriate) atmospheric condition to help or hinder both sides in the next mission!
