⚜️ ONE WORD COMP! [Results Posted!]

[Outbound]

You accidentally credited Disney Warrior for geysers even though I submitted that, but anyways that’s not my point as I want to say a few words about this competition, and I mean that literally (ahem):
Well-Hosted
Innovative
Humorous
Memorable
Wordfull​

Ha ha, the reason I prefer to post reviews & results during my time's midnight is that I'm ridiculously indecisive with certain rankings mid-posting. Once I post they're final, but I usually switch around so much, I must have accidentally forgotten to change the name for the honorable mention. I caught and fixed it a few minutes before you posted above, but yea if you're around at this time (or on the other side of the world) you might see some backward shenanigans.

Anyways, I respond -

Much-Appreciative!!

FINAL RESULTS
Saturday (Again)

A tremendous round of applause to all who participated in the One Word Comp! This game wouldn't be possible without you.

Now, with the finale in the books, it's time to take a look at the final scores!

Spoiler: 5th Place

@PerGron
26 Points

Despite only joining the game at the halfway mark, PerGron's consistently high-scoring submissions for the latter half of the game rose him to an incredible 26 points! Congratulations!

Spoiler: 4th Place

@montydysquith-navarro
34 Points

A high-scoring competitor throughout the game, Monty scored first place for the "regular season" of Days 1-6. Despite a high-risk, high-reward Triple Threat Finale, Monty put his best foot forward and still earned an impressive 12 pts, placing him at a grand total of 34 points. Congratulations!

Spoiler: 3rd Place

@D Hulk
36 Points

The most astonishing character of the finale is undoubtedly D Hulk, who earned a record-breaking 24 points in the finale alone. Through quick-witted thinking and bold decision-making, Hulk managed to earn a medal in all three prompts (WorldDiscovery, WorldNature, & WorldShowcase), a truly monumental feat. This superb performance, plus his consistent performance in the regular season, propelled his placement to within just three points of the ultimate winner. Congratulations!

Spoiler: 2nd Place

@spacemt354
37 Points

Another monumental-scoring player in the finale, Space's inventive and inspired finale submissions boosted his already high-ranking regular season score to 37 points -- just a single ranking away from tying with the first-place winner! A consistently innovative regular season and fantastic finale performance award Space the second-place medal. Congratulations!

And finally... the moment ya'll been waiting for...

Spoiler: 1st Place

@Outbound
1 Million Points

Determined to win a third Imagineering game before the end of 2021, I decided to reward myself with a million points, because I'm the host, so I can do whatever I want --

just kidding.

For Real:

Spoiler: The Winner of the One Word Comp.

@ThemeParkPriest
39 Points

With a consistently-high ranking performance all season, Priest sealed the deal against his many competitors through a series of tight-clenched medals for the finale. Often employing distinctive and imaginative word choices pairing well with own his talents, Priest has either been at the top of the leaderboard or narrowly behind all season long. All in all, a much-deserved win for the newly-crowned "one-word champion"! Congratulations Priest!

Until next time, OUTBOUND OUT!​

[ThemeParkPriest]

Wow, I’m honored and a bit surprised that I came out on top! There were so many great ideas throughout the competition; we can work at fleshing them out going forward! It was a very close competition up to the finale and throughout it; I’m sure @Evilgidgit would have had some great ideas in the last day if he would have submitted. Halloween Horror Nights is definitely out of my wheelhouse, so I was lucky that one wasn’t worth more points (and that I came up with PREYing-Mantis that at least made the judge and me chuckle). Well done, @Outbound, for making it such a great game!

I leave you with one final one word: Merry-Christmas!!
