Our first three arrivals in my email with complete url lists came in at 1:23 pm, followed closely by our second place at 1:44 pm and our third strode in quickly at 2:10 pm AW time. Whewh! It was a tight finish to the end, and here are the results:

By a matter of minutes, Ullr Egilsson narrowly won 3rd place with Alerissa Nestor close behind.
Congratulations Ullr for a very speedy race to the finish even though they had a much postponed start time in comparison to the others! Ullr has won
3,000 sesterci and this award will land in their haim shortly..

And in 2nd place is Calpurnia Caesar, who did a truly amazing job, started considerably after everyone else. She went from location # 5 all the way to finish in a half an hour tops!! Talk about a dark horse in the running. Well done Calpurnia, our hats off to you. Calpurnia has won 5,000 sesterci and this award will land in her domus soon..

And finally we arrive at our 1st place award. If we hadn't had a forced intermission on the evening of the 20th until the following day, I suspect this person would have gotten all the way to the finish before most of us could blink an eye. She not only figured out the maze and won herself the Golden Ankh, she never even needed to redeem it! No clue, no matter how strange, mistyped or difficult tripped her up. She is Leela Antonius, and she did an absolutely holy moly amazing speedy run through the trivia and should be congratulated accordingly! Fabulous job Leela, you are truly our Trivia Victrix of Rome!! Leela has won herself 5,000 sesterci and a maximum patronage to any persona she chooses. Leela please email me with your persona choice and the patronage is yours!

Congratulations to all of our winners and to everyone who played. Camilla probably would have gotten third or even 2nd as she was working quickly through the trivia locations, but had to get back to work *L* Alerissa also obviously did a fantastic job and narrowly missed placing 3rd! Caileadair had 17 of the locations correct herself but got bored and meandered into the kash bowl. Figures! LOL Great race all of you, I truly hope you had a good time. Thanks also to Decius, Senex, Sankira and of course Maria (who's emotional support and last minute clue hiding saved the day). Ya'll kept this event from being an utter disaster! I owe ya ;o)
EVERYONE who played, whether you were able to collect all the locations or not; we are proud to give you this participation award and appreciate you helping to make this a fun event!
