Loving the contest entries so far.  At the moment there are six entrants; if one more puts their lot in, we'll have seven and the rewards listing will proceed to stage 2.  That means that there will be a first, second, and third place.  At 14 entrants, there will be four places.  

[b]@New people[/b], in case it wasn't obvious, we hold contests on a separate thread (linked in the OP) in which you all can participate to earn credits for your character, which can be used to give them upgrades.  It's a fun and often challenging way to flex your creative muscle, and I highly encourage participation.
