Which means 11linda put us all to shame and wins first place just 2 points short of 100 - with her first dare entry, made in a rush using Audacity... Congratulations 11linda!!!!
And now.... for the SPECIAL MENTIONS and NAUGHTY MENTIONS !!!
Special mentions:
* 11linda, carmsie, Bliss, da_Butch, TIamIsTiam - For their first dare entry (and for sticking around to vote!)
I also want to encourage people who did something different (and maybe did not get a lot of votes)
* andymanister - The only piece that is trully scary! Come on, be honest: what is the risk of you dying as an astronaut visiting an alien ship, being attacked bu zombies, ghosts or creatures from another dimension?... But when you car parking sensors go beep...beep..beep.beep.beeeeeeep Don't you fill a shiver down your spine!?
* ThatsWhatYouCallClass - Great sound design. Probably the most horrible sound I ever heard! (mean that as a compliment). Unfortunately for the dare we needed a bit more. But a sound like this strategically placed in a composition (AND at a sensible volume) could have made for a great entry
And last... but not least... The NAUGHTY mentions:
Da_Butch...... for listing more than 10 entries in his vote
...an offense also committed by Kyster
But the winner of the naughty mentions must be Snapper4298 - who managed to embarass his music partner by not only listing more tahn 10 pieces in his vote but also for having the cheek to vote for their joint piece (a vote dully discounted by the judges) - LOL LOL LOL
-------
Hope you had fun!
And hope to see you in the next dare!
Just like AlienXXX mentioned, I was seriously happy with our two new female entrants' compositions.
a big, big congratulations to 11linda for a host of things she's done and achieved in this dare.
LOL @ snapper. I thought it was too funny (both what he did and how AlienXXX put it).
Congratulations also to everyone else who participated. I think we all had a different experience listening to things given the number of entries.
Overall, a good dare topic by AlienXXX as well!
Hey, i didn't know the results was here. Guess i've been way too busy with solving my computer problems.
Congrats to 11linda, you truly deserved every point given. Your entry really was the best 
11linda Congratulations!!! This was a nice dare! As always I learned a lot, Thanx AlienXXX
aww thanks so much I haven't commented because I wasn't sure what to say but thanks so much for the chance to be apart!
This Dare was a lot of fun.
So many entrants, too!
Who could resist a scary Dare?
Congrats to everyone involved.
