Okay, so here we go! First of all, the judges found the majority of your RPs to be excellent and entertaining, and awarded all of the teams the full 1000 points, except Reaver who scored 500 for a partial, and Squirrel Tales, who didn't submit, and so gained no points for this section.
Now, as to the puzzles, each team was only required to solve one, and most of you chose to figure out Anne's age, which was 24 or 24.5 (Jahmie is 3 or 3.5). If you need further explanation, Organized Chaos has it broken down in their RP.
It was the "guilty courtlady" which threw a lot of you for a loop, as the correct answer was Barbe. This was a "what solution fits and is possible" type of logic puzzle, and the best explanation for this was given by team Steve:
All teams had the correct answer to one of the two puzzles, so all will be awarded the 500 points, with the exception of Squirrel Tales, who has a slight error in math and therefore have 400.
The passcode to the bottom was "Swap Ships," or "Switch Ships" or any form of that, which all teams except two figured out. So that adds another 250.
Finally, there was an "Easter Egg" (hidden bonus) in this chapter, and was given in clues from Sir Wall and the Chapter Title itself. This was the references to a "Leap of Faith." However, while most of you figured out elaborate descents, only the Jalapenos were brave enough to simply hold hands and jump. This was muted a bit by the parachute appearing, but nonetheless, the judges were impressed that anyone caught it, so an extra 250 to the Jalapenos.
This leaves scores for this chapter at:
Jalapenos: 2000 Leviathans: 1900 Organized Chaos: 1800 Fallen Angels, Galactic Thylacines, Steve, Traveler: 1750 Reaver: 1000 Squirrel Tales: 400
These scores will be added to your totals above. (Thanks !)
Please let me know if I made any scoring errors.
Way to go teams! Love you all. :)
RIP Mom, I love & miss you more than you know. Tell Dede hi.

No one is more surprised than the Jalapeños that our leap of faith paid off. Seriously though, that was awesome fun.
haha, I didn't even think that we should just jump. We were told to rp figuring out a way down, after all! Go Jalapenos!
The way some people spell makes me wonder about their pronunciation. My CW shop, and my ping group
Way to go everyone! Extra congrats to the Jalapenos for just being y'all and jumping!
Seriously we got a full 2000 points!?! WTH. And I was right me. My answer. I am the smart one. GO ME GO ME GO!
Witchy asks herself if she fell into a Rainbow Patch, because this must be a dream
hahahaaa I don't believe it.
To get a score like that, we know it had to be half you being smart, and half us accidentally doing the right thing. woo!
This scoring generated a couple of appeals, both of which the judges have chosen to grant, with the following caveats.
Due to these decisions, I have adjusted the scores in my post above.
WOOHOO! Good work team!

Ha! Calling it false hope in our paper!! LoLs! Love how said " for just being y'all and jumping!" ..... And it begins... The "I told you so"s from

: Thank you so very much, you are the best!
: Way to go team!!
We thought it was false. But I guess it wouldn't have taken much faith if we knew we were striking gold? :P
If this challenge showed anything, it proved I, and nearly all my judges, are huge nerds and lovers of SF/Fantasy! I have read virtually all of the works you chose to cosplay (gave up on the Green Rider series after the author introduced an adorable dog simply for the plot device of killing him within minutes in order to invoke a response. It's a cheap trick in my opinion, so no more for me. I also don't like vampire or zombie fiction much, so I admit to not finishing those.)
Anyway, there were no surprises, which made the judging easier and harder at the same time. In the end, they did manage to pick their "Top Ten," and each of those entries got 500 extra points for their teams. If you chose to participate, your team got 1000 points.
Judges comments are below each finalist below. They are presented in order of submission:
Chapter 3 points: Jalapenos, Fallen Angels: 2000 Organized Chaos, Steve, Traveler, Galactic Thylacines, Reaver, Leviathans: 1500 Squirrel Tales: 0
Oh, I'm very happy that my cosplay was well-received! It's a character and book that's very close to my heart, to be able to represent that well enough for a nod from the judges is a great start to the weekend. :D
Congrats to the other cosplayers as well, and to all of our teams! I hope the judges are also having fun.
