Yes!
The contest ranking / medal tally / leaderboard is now fully automated.
At the same time the suggestions in this thread were implemented. This means that many people were put back a few ranks, but at least now you have something to look forward to again :dms::cms:
It also means that you can always find a current leaderboard and medal tally at the second post in this thread.
It also means that new winners will recieve their medal and rank much sooner, with at most a day delay after the contest was registered. Regardless of whether I have time or not.
The coolest thing IMHO is that there is now a moving goal to work towards: Orjan is our current Champion of Light, while darkcatalyst is - fittingly - Champion of Darkness. Congrats!
Let's celebrate!
(btw, the Ruby script to do all this (read post from DB, parse, generate tallys, update db) is 110 lines long, with a few debug statements))
