Hi! Here are the results of round three!
The Lion Sleeps Tonight | 2 + 2 + 1 (+3) = 8.
The Frost Games | 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 (+3) = 18.
The Ultimate Story [24] | 1 + 2 + 3 (+3) = 9.
New Intel | 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 (+3) = 8.
Exodus | 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 11.
The winner of round three is Luciole! Although relatively new to URPG, Luciole's story, The Frost Games, has clearly hit a chord with our voters. With a clear-cut victory, he shows great promise for the future. Keep at it, Luciole, and we'll see you in the final! You can claim 5k. :>
A special thanks, as always, to our voters:
Smiles
Luciole
EmBreon
Jack of Clovers
Gliscorman
Joltik
Princess Crow
Post here to collect 3k for your work.

Our winner, by a whisker, is SLC04! While being a bit of a nubface, SLC04 seems to have impressed a few readers with his story -- at least, enough for him to progress to the final round! SLC, congratulations on your victory. You can claim 5k here, and we'll see you in the final round!
Thanks, again, to our voters:
SLC04.
Joltik.

Claiming my 3k. Congrats, SLC, and best of luck to you in the final round!
I should claim this
BIA-
Oh wait, I made it through? Sweet.
Claiming my 8k and my 4th place for when it happens.
I'm pleased to say that we have sufficient votes! I know I took quite a while to post these final results, but I'm sort of sick at the moment.
Before I announce our winners, I'd like to thank everyone who wrote a story for the SWC, and the people who voted throughout the different rounds. Thanks to Scourge for allowing me to host this year -- it's been a pleasure. At the start, I thought it was going to be nothing short of a disaster, but then the stories and participants began to roll in towards the end of the submission dates, which showed me a lot of promise.
You guys made SWC 2012 something fantastic, and there've been some close moments (like Nitro losing out to EmBreon by a point ;p). No matter where you've placed in this competition, you're still a winner, and there will always be more opportunities in the future to improve and show off your skills in writing.
Right now, however, it's time for the results.
In third place is SLCalamity! His story, Valiant, gained him 6 points -- an amount befitting for a dork of his stature. Congratulations, SLC! You can post here to collect a Hard-rank Pokémon and5,000. By the way, I noticed something in the OP... I said that third place will get [prize] for their 'valiant' effort. SORRY, GUYS, I MUST HAVE RIGGED IT.
In second place is Luciole! His story, named The Frost Games, was well-written and saw him boosted into the final round, to the surprise of many of the older members. He gained 14 points. :> I'm glad we have a representative of PWN in the competition and, indeed, on the podium! Good job, Luciole! You can take a Complex-rank Pokémon of your choice and
And our winner is EmBreon, with a whopping 17 points! Her tale of Agent X was coined by many as the winner, even before the competition began. It seems that their claims were not unfounded, as she is standing on the top spot. Splendiferously marvellous work, EmBreon! You can post here to select a Legendary Pokémon (!) to keep for a year from this post, so long as it's not already taken, and you also get
A special hand goes to our voters for this round:
Princess Crow
EmBreon
Backslash
Joltik
Smiles
Jack of Clovers
All of these except for Princess Crow, Joltik and Jack of Clovers can collect 3k. These three people get a more special prize instead. All three of them have voted steadfastly in every round since the beginning, and I'm going to recognise that by allowing them to claim 6k instead.
And now, at the beginning of October, our Summer Writing Competition has finally drawn to a close. Thank you all once again.
Keep aiming to be the top Pokéathlete! That is...
POKÉATHLON FOREVER!
What do you mean, 'it's the wrong line'? Oh, right! Silly me. Nevermind. I'll see all of you guys on the flipside. :>
Wow, okay. Totally didn't expect that, but I'm not complaining, especially since I only entered mine last minute.
Congrats to everyone else, particularly Emma. I'll take Litwick as my consolation prize.
Also lol'd at the rigged comment.
Congratulations to the winners! Some of your stories were fun to read!
I'll claim my money too. Thanks for running this thing Buoy~
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
I'll take Mewtwo.
Thanks for being an awesome host, Buoy. And yeah, special thanks to Crow, Jotlik and Jack for being dedicated voters. THEY SHOULD GET LIKE 50K. AND A PUPPY.
