We did it! Thanks to your dedication, button-pressing, and blind obedience, my entry in the WeLoveFine: Ponies Vs. Villains contest accrued over 3600 votes, surpassing the person in second place by nearly three thousand votes.

It was complete, unnecessary overkill, and it was amazing. You guys are the best.

To all the other competitors mercilessly crushed under my heel: BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. But seriously, you guys were good sports about it; I asked WeLoveFine to cut $1000 off the top of the prize to make sure everyone left with at least $100. You are all better at drawing than I am, and I’m sorry we had to meet in a contest that rewarded my kind of creativity.

To everyone else: count on seeing more Nefarious Schemes in the future! I probably won’t steamroll another contest, but I do want to keep exploring what sort of things can be accomplished through the combined efforts of several thousand readers.

And lastly, to any pony people who plan on actually buying the shirt that won me $1500 dollars: Prequel code-master/co-creator/button-printer Ch’marr is offering a matching pin to anyone who does! Can he mail pins faster and more efficiently than I could? Let’s put him to the test! I don’t get anything from the shirt sales, but it still seems proper to reward people who like my work and/or purchased the shirt from We Love Fine.

We will now return to your regular scheduled sad cats. The two voting incentive updates with Quill-Weave can be viewed at the following links: QW: Research and QW: Take control.
