God Auction, the wrap-up?

[triadruid]

Dreamt about ridiculous feats of archery, battling and eventually reasoning with hordes of monsters (a bit like Davy Jones' Crew crossed with Alien's Xenomorphs, in this case), and then reasoning with the last surviving monsters, in order to get them a fair armistice and relocation. Yep, nothing to see here...

In not-unrelated news, the God Auction is done for 2007. Apollo did not win, but came in a very respectable 2nd, and still made some...well, impressions I think with some of his ideas. And the overall total in both food and money donations was massively increased, so that's definitely a success. More pictures can be found here and here, but my favorite is this one:


And now, work.

Do I spy a Flying Spaghetti Monster?

After looking at the second set, yes I see that I was correct :)

So who did win?

Oh, sorry! Brigid won the day, and is community patron for the coming year. That makes two hearth goddesses in a row, following Hestia last year.

More information (if I haven't posted it before) is at http://www.gaiacommunity.org/godauction.shtml

Perhaps of note, Brighid *would* have been in last year's auction, except Oghma was higher in the penny auction and we didn't want two from the same pantheon. Since Hestia was one of the runners up, we swapped her in.

Our community seems to like fire...

Which was inadvertently my "fault," I fear. I had a couple of penny rolls in my purse from school that I'd cashed in while arranging a field trip, and I stuck them in there on the last day of voting.

I like Air. :-)

Honey, that's nothing compared to the ballot stuffing going on this year. ;) There were more dollar coins and quarters than pennies, some days...
