Well before I announce the winners, I wanna thank you all for entering and showing lots of interest in this thing

Hopefully if we do this again next year we'll have less bad circumstances happen so everyone can all hatch at once. You guys rock!
Again many thanks goes to Kat for participating as well and for running her ocean with us during the challenge. I really enjoyed the pictures! I think everyone else did too 
I kept in mind the circumstances some people had and I'm going by last ages of death and overall pause time used by each participant. Now as I said there was only going to be a first and second place winner each...but looks like a tie in second place.
Jiro started a day late for the challenge with Poopy and
Mothra paused her ocean for more than the 3 hour grace period given with Sushi. Given the circumstances they both had IRL out of their control, I waved the delays. Jiro's Poopy passed on at 5 years old and Mothra's Sushi passed on at 3 years. They are both officially tied as second place winners

Good job to both of you!
Our first place Ocean Challenge participant who only paused his ocean for 2 hours would be Ginjirotchi aka Dennis! His lovely clam passed on at the age of 7. Congrats to you for making it this far

I'm sure several of us including myself would LOVE to know how you did it and what tactics you used if any to achieve your first place rank! Speech! Speech! LOL!
Ginji, Jiro and Mothra, if you can please PM me on here or talk with me privately about picking a number out of the Numbered Draw selection, which can be found in the Events Section version of this topic. All the numbers entered with a name given to it will be there
I will be announcing the Numbered Draw winners once you have all picked a number! Congratulations again guys!
