PM stands for Private Message. So, just click on Musk’s nick and you will see an option of sending a private message. Send him one with your link and he will take care of the rest. Just like with mine. Then, with time, you will be able to post your own links here.
I got your message mistermaster and this is the link to mistermaster’s animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdCCnbEaJD8
Here’s mine. I couldn’t make it shorter, I’ll try for the next challenge.

Congratulations to all very nice and funny entries :).

Really nice work, very inspiring to see the quality. Makes me want to do it again.
Laxy, what did you use to bend the plataforms? I had the idea of bending mine as well but ended up being lazy and not doing it.
Yeah all the entries have been really funny and very well made! I enjoyed this contest, the rig we were given was just amazing!
As for those platforms, I simply subdivided the posts a few times and made an armature with 6 or so bones, and animated them by hand. I’m terrible at rigging (Kiopaa, I need a lesson), so it was the best I could do. I’m sure there are other ways using IK solvers, or spline deformation, but I thought I’d best concentrate on the animation
I have send the link to musk but just to be sure I am posting it here as well:

Btw, great entries, especially maleficio´s and Laxy´s, congratulation guys. I have also enjoyed using this rig, so thank you Kiopaa
I see, as usual, the best way is the easy way. I was setting up a spline but as mentioned before, feel too lazy and left stiff…
You made me jealous, next time I shall not let slought have the best over me.
Oh dear, almost forgot to post my entry here.
here’s the WIP thread http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=148488

good luck to all the contestants!
Ok guys I’m officially closing this round. Give me a couple of days (very busy at work at the moment) to collect all entries and prepare the voting thread.
Good luck to everyone
@Laxy-very nice! I am looking forward to that making of!
Ok I made a list of all entrants. In order to make sure that I got everything correct I leave this list here til Sunday and if I don’t hear anything from you I will post this list for the final voting thread.

til Sunday then…
I don’t mean to be a stickler, but Laxy added a rope in his entry. I thought that adding objects was against the rules?
I agree with RedJay… I wasn’t going to say anything because it was such an excellent entry but, in addition to adding the rope object, he also modified the mesh of the platform, which might just be a stretch of the rules…
I didn’t even notice the changing of the mesh of the platform but I think this is alright since he technically didn’t add a new mesh in that case. About the rope this is true the rules state that you are not allowed to add new meshes.
I will not disqualify him unless of course the community says he should be but I will add a note to the voting thread pointing people to the rules and let them decide if it is alright or not. Unless someone objects I think this is the best compromise I can come up with.
I might need to change the rules in this respect slightly. What do you think?
I don’t think the subdivision of the plataform is an issue. After all, he didn’t add any new mesh. I mean, he could have had the same effect without the subdivision it just wouldn’t look right.
In regards to the addition of the rope. That’s a hard one. The rules do say it’s not allowed and everybody else did comply with it but I think Laxy just didn’t realized he was adding an extra mesh and stuff.
In short, I would give him the benefit of first mistake. But I wouldn’t open it to everybody be allowed to break the rules once. Otherwise, it will become crazy. Obviously, he would not be allowed to make any mistakes later on.
My two cents.
