i would like to reiterate my sincere appreciation to OCD for the support they provide to us shadow hunters . their curations are a huge incentive and opportunity to raise the entire community to new heights. and now they have
outdone themselves and announced a VERY SPECIAL EVENT!
✨OCD IS holding a Shadow Hunters Community Boost Contest!
there are still a few days left so check this out:

and now to divulge the mystery shadow maker. here it is at last
congratulations to all participants. here everyone is a winner! before we get to the prize ceremony i've got to take a shower and don some proper attire. meanwhile it is a great pleasure to introduce this week's judges
i was out of cake so when i heard these bank mynas could talk i figured i could ask them to judge for just a few crumbs. and indeed they were at least as helpful as those last ones. so this time everyone was happy. by the way, i heard those girls tried to call me asking for more cake but since i lost my phone i couldn't answer. in norway we have a saying which translates: never so bad that it is not good for something!
this week we had a new situation where several people guessed correctly. normally it is only right and reasonable that the first one gets the main prize- 3 HIVE. but this time in addition to answering correctly, one of the late guessers added some insightful humor to the comment that got the 3 mynas clucking, croaking and whistling so much that we are splitting the HIVE. other late but correct guesses are rewarded with points and a rehive nomination, which, if lucky can prove to be more valuable than the main prize.
so without further ado here are the winners
2 HIVE to 
1 HIVE to 
"Yes, I really think the shadow you see is of a car, but that sticks out... It looks like a rifle with a bayonet... :)
I think it's you waiting for someone to come out of that forest with your phone, but... Relax man, take it easy!
I know that losing your phone with so much 'sensitive information' is terrible, but violence is not necessary :)"
50 points each to
40 points each to:
30 points and a rehive nomination to:
30 points each to
that's it, a big thanks to all. i hope you appreciate this week's judges as much as i did but if you have any complaints they will be happy to hear them for a few crumbs. no cake required.
don't forget there's already a new contest going on here:
@eolianpariah/announcing-the-9th-guess-the
there's a new prize available- the venwood prize for the most fantastical answer but to win that will require more than just a one-liner reply.
it wouldn't be right to close without mentioning our generous sponsors:
