*drum roll*

Introduction:

It's time for you to cast your votes on who you believe should be crowned the winner of our Return of Reckoning Baking Contest!. We understand this is somewhat delayed however it's December and we, much like you, are busier than normal outside of the game, but we thank you for being patient, especially to those who entered the contest!

As a reminder - the prizes for this contest are as follows:

First Place - “Top Chef”, a custom made Chef's Hat (cosmetic item), and 500 Gold on either realm. The winner will also work with the development team to create a new in-game item for a future live event.

Second Place - “Prince of Pies”, a custom made Chef's Hat (cosmetic item), and 250 Gold on either realm.

Third Place - “Baking Champion”, a custom made Chef's Hat (cosmetic item), and 150 Gold on either realm.

In addition to the guaranteed rewards, the top players will have a choice of a pool of rewards, with the 1st place player getting first choice, the 2nd place player getting second choice. Initially we had the Chef's Hat as a third option however we believe all top contestants should be able to show their baking prowess with style!

These items include:
  • A year-long and exclusive live-event mount. (ram/bear etc!) - You get to choose from a selection that will be provided.
  • Two bottomless dyes of your choice from the list of dyes
Additionally, all participants with eligible entries will receive two custom trophies - the Chef’s Wooden Spoon and Chef’s Rolling Pin, and a Picnic Blanket Cloak.

How voting works:

As there are three prizes for this contest we are allocating 3 votes on the poll per person, they will all weigh equally and upon the end of voting we will record the votes and announce the winner(s)! You can review the eligible entries in the poll linked to this thread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spoiler:

Why isn't my entry listed?:

The poll functionality on the boards only allows a set number of entries (currently set to 10). Internally we ranked all entries on a scale of 1 through to 10 and once Max did some excel formula magic, we were left with the 10 entries that will come through to the community vote! In future contests we will look at what functionality we have to enable all entries to be voted publicly.


When will the voting end and the winner be announced?:

We will allow voting through until the 23nd December 2022. Meaning you have exactly one week from this post being made public to submit your entries. The winner will be announced on the 24th December 2022.

How do I recieve my reward if I win?:

Please PM myself here on the forums with your account name / character name and I'll get the rewards distributed in due course. I appreciate your patience if the rewards don't come through over the holiday period.

May the best greenskin/dwarf cake/pie win!

Khorne is a bad taste for cakes, pity i didnt have time to make a Slaaneshi cake with some splash of rainbows on the side(my tick)

Sad there is no dark elf, high elf and empire themed cakes, had a pattern to make a an Eataineian soft bread.

All the best with the contest and good luck!

Should've hidden the names on the entries to make this less of a popularity contest tbh.
