After much bribery and coniving behind the scenes, the TeamLiquid staff has done something it rarely does. Reached an agreement. It helped that Leg was absent, Aussies get stubbourn when it comes to pumpkin judging.
Without further ado, here are the winners of the first TeamLiquid carve something into produce contest:
The Grand Prize Winner!
Without a doubt the best pumpkin of the contest turned out to be an apple. Life is funny that way. But, by turning in a second entry, the combination of the two were overpowering. JellyCat is the happy winner of $100 dollars and eternal TL.net fame. Congratulations.
and
The "Yellow is metrosexual even in pumpkin form" award.
Just behind JelloCat was the remarkably lifelike carving of the progamer Yellow. Indo wins the second prize and takes home 60 bones. Congratulations.
The suck up to mods 3rd for the Place prize...
... goes to MyLostTemple for his stiring rendition of my avatar. The fact that MyLostTemple selected the moderator avatars as his subject piece had a great impact on his placing. For all those that think try hards get ahead, think again. This is the path to success, and if you don't agree talk to MLT and his 4000 new shiny pennies.
The "Blatant abuse of powers and poker debts" award goes to...
ToKoreaWithLove. Yep, once you make it to the top the gravy train pulls in. TKWL rakes in 30 big ones, enough for that manicure he has been wanting. GJ buddy.
Lastly,
The "Another staff member? WTF rigged" award goes to...
Saro. He threatened to code in pictures of Nazguls hairy ass to appear randomly, so we had to throw him a bone. He gets twenty dollars in exchange for Nazgul keeping his dignity.
Honourable Mentions
I list these honourable mentions because it won't cost anyone any money. Thanks to:
XeoFreeStyler (Yours was next in line) G5 (The kid who got NO help from his parents) bioboyAT (pumpkin labotomy designs are in this year) Naz's GF (blame your boyfriend) Chibi (self portrait?)
So, thats it. Thanks a lot for everyone who carved, and I hope the experience serves you well in the future when pumpkin carving joins underwater basket weaving in the olympics.

I would LOVE that but still..I am more a "reader" member than an "active" member there even if I've been around for some years now. You guys wouldn't see the pumpkin around so much :d
On a side note I've seen that Saro "only" has a TL.net icon. As he is the one who initiated this great event, maybe he should get the icon !
By the way, put here all your potential pumpkin's icons to have a look !
Edit: For those who didn't notice, my name is JellyCat not JelloCat (thanks Drone for the trick )
