Mortality Challenge Results
Tuesday October 17 (Mortal Bloggers in bold)
Toad on a Leash 1:11:20 PM
Christy - 3:53 PM
DonutBites - 4:10:49 PM
The Chronicles: 10:00:51 PM
Let’s repeat the scoring instructions that we included in the original post:
Fifteen (15) health/poison points will go to the Mortal Blogger who posts first. (As long as their post meets all the requirements given in the final autoresponse.) Five (5) health/poison points will go to the Mortal Blogger who finishes, and makes us laugh the hardest with their entry. We value humor highly.
And here is how we phrased it in the final email each individual received upon completion of the challenge:
First to post the Challenge Entry - 15 points
Funniest Challenge Entry - 5 points
At first we thought we should award Toad the full 20 points, as the challenge entry he posted wednesday morning was hilarious. However, rereading the rules we wrote, we realized that the way we had phrased it the challenge entry for finishing time had to be the same as the one for humor. It may not have been abundantly clear to everyone (including ourselves) but that is how we interpret our language.
Deciding between Chronicles and Donut Bites was difficult, but in the end we decided we were laughing harder at Chronicles entry, so they received the 5 humor points.

i'm not quite sure how that implies a single entry per mortal blogger, but that's fine (although i'm wondering if i would have been better taking the 5 pts and letting donuts dole out the 15 pts than letting chronicles get 5 more points)
