Something to tie you over Wink

During the final round of Autohost's Annual Stars! Competition, the eventual top 4 finishers in the tournament played their final duel game against each other. Each of the top 4 finishers played a different race type in this last game. Use the clues below to determine the name and nick-names of the first through fourth place winners of the tournament, the race name each used in their last game, and the race type they used for the final game.



  1. Judy played the Minbari.

  2. Zed placed ahead of the one who used the Butterflies.

  3. The top 4 players were Whopman, Martin, the contestant who played the Ravenoids, and the player who played the Alternate Reality race.

  4. John finished exactly 2 places ahead of the player who played Space Demolition.

  5. The race of the 3rd place winner has less tendency to dislike spaceflight than that of Esther's.

  6. The race type of the contestant who placed immediately after Master X can stop speeding ships; mind you, also can the race played by the one who placed immediately after Bugbear.

  7. The lowest performing race type of the competition was shown to be the Inner Strength race.

  8. The Warmonger was neither named Ottoman nor Minbari.

  9. The Bugbear placed lower than the Butterflies.

Could you clarify the meaning of clue number 5? This seems like a double negative, to me.

They are less likely to dislike? Confused2

Er.

Judy, Zed, Whopman, Martin, John, and Esther all look like player names.

While Master X could be either...

...there's four racenames that are relatively obvious.

So... who're the actual players?

I came to the conclusion that John, Martin, Judy, and Esther are the four players.

Chuckle! Laughing

I thought I'd posted this in vain:
HOK:
Players: Judy, Martin, John, Esther
Nick: Zed, Whopman, Master X, Bugbear (by elimination)
Race Names: Minbari, Butterflies, Ravenoids, Ottoman
PRTS: ????
Placement: 1,2,3,4

You can map it Wink

Well let's see ... there is one race that definitely likes spaceflight (they make babies there)... and there's one race that hates spaceflight (they die in it) and everyone else falls somewhere in between.
