http://www.rpgdl.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9668This is the (incredibly late) conclusion to this old contest that I started back when I first joined the RPGDL. I hate to graduate from college before I had enough time to finish all the math involved in scoring this.
Here are the individual results of each team, if you have any more detailed questions about them, feel free to PM me.
In case you forgot what the prize was, I offered up the amazing prize of putting together an original image of the team you made.
To review the rules, read the old topic, too much to summarize here... >.>;;

MVP: Leon Geeste (...how?)
Best: Excellent distribution of Race/Hair/Occupation. Beautiful Elemental variation. Perfect Gender distribution is probably what gave her so many points here, though.
Worst: Too many overlapping game series and game types! SIX Final Fantasy characters?!
Score: 1.778 (The winner by the skin of her teeth...)
Yeah, the winner is
ClearTranquil. Apparently by choosing characters from only a few series she managed to achieve the most overall variety. I suppose that's a testament to how much variety is in every single RPG cast, in general.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who played, enjoyed, and humored me in my first and last attempt at biting off more than I could chew in making a contest. Once I had the free time, I really enjoyed scoring these.
Congratulations to ClearTranquil. Please PM me so I can discuss your prize with you.
Winner: ClearTranquil
2nd: GateWalker
3rd: OblivionKnight
