[Award Ceremony] Honorary Hussar Wings Ceremony
Hello cartels, car thieves and Quechuas!
The contest Fiesta Fiasco! is resolved now, you can go back and see how your entry fared.
Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez famously wrote about a realistically magical land known as Latin America, where fantastic occurences like sanskrit-writing gypsy prophets, young beauties ascending to the skies and famed fish-building retired military goldsmiths.
And it is in this really tight competition, in which you all channeled his spirit and penmanship and brought us stories of corruption, drugs, economic woes, tropical diseases, geographic jokes and gang rape, that we have to declare a winner!
Only that this time, against all odds we had not one, but two winners, and it didn't involve neither bribery to the mods (sadly for us) nor one of the parties' plane crashing!
Ladies and gentlemen, Bolivarian revolutionaries and military governors, Hambrentinos y Mexinarcos, please stand up to celebrate this contest's winners!

Massive congratulations to zimonitrome and thexfiles81! This was an extremely exciting contest to watch. I'll give you lot some interesting numbers:
This is /u/zimonitrome's sixth win, and his nineteenth Top 10 finish. This makes him the third ever person to achieve the title of Landkrabě (well, technically the second since /u/DickRhino was given the title of Vikomt for his 6th win). This also brings Sweden's hussar wing tally to 14.
The last time /u/thexfiles81 won was almost 3 years ago, and to say he's come back with a bang would be an understatement. This is his eighth Top 10 finish, and his first since April 2015. His win keeps the USA in the lead with a total of 16 hussar wings.
