I was just curious if anyone had heard about the results for this yet. I'm crossing my fingers, for sure!

    I`m sure the results will be posted on the main Penny-Arcade site, probably as a newsblurb from Gabe. I would hazard a guess that we`ll find out the winners on Monday.

    gabe will post it, if it is indeed a copy of the 10 word warcraft contest they did before they might even make it into a comic. The warcraft contest was announced on april 4 and the winners were announced april 18. This contest was announce july 11, it stands to reason that it'll be a little while longer before winners are announced.

    Submissions for that ended on Apr 10 and the winners were announced a week later (roughly). Submissions for this ended on Wednesday, so we`ll probably see results next week at some point.

    I doubt they`ll do a comic for it since there`s 8 winners.

    hrm...if this is true I didn't win. Therefore I am going to assume you are lying...because I like avoiding the other option.

    That would seem to indicate that one of you won.

    I won also.. and just to show I'm not lying, I'll predict one of the entries. It is of basements and fuckwads:
    I'm only anonymous in my basement? Shitcock.

    I assume its not breaking any rule to say what I sent in, since there were only like two rules anyways.

    I'm hoping that whoever wins they will post the results on the blog like they did for the Warcraft one. It's really the only sure way to know :P That, and PA fans can be damn witty, it's so fun to see what we come up with.
