Voting for Challenge #8 is OPEN!

by Charlie Plaine, Chairman

12th December 2011

With one individual challenge in the bag, returning player Conno "WeyounsLastClone" Hendrikson claims the top spot and rookie Mark "BaronMorrath" Morris stands behind him as runner up. But, it's still a wide open game, as anyone can slip up or find a brilliant entry and there are lots of points to be claimed. The game marches on, and it's time to judge the submissions for Challenge #8!

Here are the team's submissions. They are being presented anonymously and in a standard format:
