    The TotW has been fairly busy since the last blog posts, with a number of votes going up and closing and thus we have two winners to announce.

    TotW 243 saw the brave competitors channel their inner Indiana or Lara Croft and go raiding some tombs. But what would they find? Treasure? Scrolls? The previous tomb raider? Six competitors set out into the dense jungle full aware that only one would come out alive. But who would it be?
