[MDP] Media Contest Winners

Day 2,477, 06:39 • Published in Canada Canada • by Xander Kross

Well folks, I'll chalk Xander's Media Contest - my first attempt at a contest of any kind - as a modest success.

MDP-flagged articles held the Top 5 spots for a few days. We had at least one article in four out of the 6 categories, lacking only Financial Business (which no one gives a damn about anyway) and Battle Orders (which is largely reserved for actual battle orders from the Ministry of Defense). I would have liked to see more activity, surely, but there were some nice surprises.

Here are the winners:
Political Debates:
L I G H T S - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mdp-looking-to-the-future-2422971/1/20

Warfare Analysis
TheSmoke - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mdp-fight-the-good-fight-2423264/1/20

First Steps in eRepublik
L I G H T S - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mdp-your-first-steps-2423489/1/20

Social Interactions & Entertainment
Jason Welsh - http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-mdp-strike-hour-2424021/1/20

My favorite: TheSmoke, a die-hard CPF baby-snuggler and presidential hopeful, had glowing praise for Rylde and the MDP. His prize money will be donated to the charitable cause of his choosing - let me know in the comments.

L I G H T S pulled out all the stops and submitted several articles over the span of a few days. Subsequently, he wins in two categories, pulling in 3,000 CC for his efforts. Spend it well.

Jason Welsh wrote a number of MDP articles early on. His Strike Hour idea is a good one and I hope we can repeat it in the future.

My thanks to those who generously donated to the prize pool, and to those who spread the good word of the glorious MDP.

NOTE: There is leftover prize money to be donated. Be sure to read the comments below to suggest where it might be spent.

EVER FORWARD!
