Category:Event:Ultimate Guru Contest

The following are the entries in the Ultimate Guru tutorial contest.

CONTESTANTS -- if you wish to keep your tutorial linked, please link your own copy of the tutorial to this page. You can do that by putting the following line at the end of your YPPedia page, with two square brackets [[ ]] around it: Category:Event:Ultimate Guru Contest
If you're unsure how to do this, pull up one of the tutorial pages, click 'edit' to see the wiki "source", and look at the end of it.

The "anonymous" tutorial pages and non-linked drafts will be flagged to the YPPedia admins for deletion at the end of the month.

NOTA BENE -- as it turned out, a bit less prize poe was awarded than was donated (as I had to make sure the prizes were structured so that I could cover the maximum-award case). I've calculated the pro-rated return rate... if you did donate to the contest, please contact me in-game so I can refund you an appropriate % of your donation. all left over donations now refunded

If arrangements can be made for a larger & longer Tutorial Contest for later this spring, that will be announced here too.
