Congratulations to General JJ!! Your building was definetly awesome, both in size and at fitting the category idea.
Looking forward to see what will come next in LCC!

[Becheman]

Wow, that was tense. Well done, everyone!

Thanks to the time difference, I picked up the results at 17.00 on a Tuesday - brilliant way to end the working day!!

Great job General JJ, you guys are amazing. And congrats to my fellow Lenfald members for winning the first 2 categories, we did good!

Excellent work everyone! Congrats to our winners! Also as Ieuan said...atleast we didn't come in fourth.

AK,

Is there going to be a Random Prize Drawing?

[AK_Brickster]

Yes, thanks for reminding me. I'll try to draw a winner by today or tomorrow.

[Justin M]

Wow! That was the most intense waiting period just to find out the results ever!

A hearty congratulations to all of the winners, y'all did great.

[Ronin Dragonslayer]

Congratulations to the General brothers JJ for a glorious win for Garheim! The CCC and this last GC really taught me about matching your build to the theme intended and you guys pulled it off perfectly with an awesome build.
Congrats to Lenfald - Sergeant Chipmunk and Caelan - for a very close second! And congrats all around for so many great builds! Glad to be a part of LCC!

Congrats everybody! Way to go Lenfald, 2/3! And congrats to General JJ, you guys totally deserved it.

[Luke the Swift~]

Great job everyone! I think this is by far our best GC so far! Really good effort everyone!

[Caelan]

Congratulations to General JJ for their second GC win, two in a row, very impressive. You two have become the guys to beat now!

Sergeant Chipmunk did a wonderful job in so little space, so clever, I really hope you keep it as a permanent build. Congrats, fellow Lenfel

Soccerkid6, love that Thenwell Castle, it's such a sweet build. We'll take 'em next time Isaac.

[Lord Mercat]

First off, congrats to General JJ and the rest of Garheim for the win! Well fought!

Second, congratulations of course to Caelan and Sergeant Chipmunk for the Restricted, and Vignette category wins! Excellent work Lenfald!

Now, I saw AK Brickster's posts regarding Global points and voting points being different, etc in the Lenfald thread, but I feel that here would be a better place to post my thoughts on this.

As noted in the GC thread, the voting points do not equal Global Points.
I need to confer with the KC on how we will be doing global points for this new GC format.

If I might make a suggestion? I believe a good format would be the following, where a category victory translates to the following points for each category:

10 global points to the winner of the Vignette Category

30 Global Points to the winner of the Restricted Category

50 Global Points to the winner of the Unrestricted Category

50 additional Global Points to the Winner of the Global Challenge.

Remainder edited out due to brainlapse.

That said, after this contest, I am of the opinion that the 5 points per vote for the Unrestricted Category is too high.

Five points would probably be too high, which is why it is three points per vote.

I say this because the points of the unrestricted category are worth more than both the vignette and the restricted category combined.

It's equal, right now, actually.

In this instance, it seems to be greater, but that is merely because the brothers received the majority of the votes. They received two-third of the total votes, so with any point multiplier the outcome is going to seem great.

Prime example is the "Restricted" category. Lenfald's entry dominated the votes so much that adding up the other three factions from both the "Restricted" and "Vignette" categories does not even surpass the value of Caelan's.

Do not let any one build be the clear winner of a category, and no one tier will seem so overwhelming in regards to its weight towards the outcome. The system is fine, in my opinion.
