Nice one!
Don't you hate when all the derivations of your "great idea for a name" are taken?
Okay, I'm kinda new at this, but here goes, I hope you enjoy

... Yes her name is kind of a play on the latin name for sheep... Yes I'm a bit of an odd one? ^^; Well, enjoy! As a note, she is a DA/Mace tanker.

This is full of win. I may have to steal that design.
Entries are do tomorrow night! Don't forget.
Quickie Entrie - I'm not real crazy about this pallete, though some folks have done some interesting things with it.
Captain Hazmat - Cleaning up YOUR neighborhood!
He really needs a fire extiguisher backpack in there someplace.
I guess there's a first time for everything, including palette contest entries. Here is The Pointy Stick Avenger . And another shot.
I've never yet taken a hit from a bad guy skidding across the floor on his keister.

Learn the knockback, live the knockback, love the knockback!
I would enter again this time, but I simply don't have time to whip anything up. Hoping I'll have more time next round.
The Chocolates gallery is up. Critique to come...
(Is there some reason why the images are all the way to the far right in IE?)

Yes, there is: IE sucks.
So does my HTML fu. 
Edit: Ugh. Looks like all the pages are messed up in IE. Bleh.
Since you're using auto margins, try changing your DTD definition from Transitional to Strict.
I'll try that tonight. Maybe I'll switch it over to XHTML, too.
While I wouldn't discourage you from doing that, neccesarily, XHTML comes with its own set of baggage and that won't fix the problem if said problem is actually in the CSS.
*edit*
I think I can tell you what's going on. I'm just not entirely positive whether switching to Strict will solve it and make further advice just confusing.
IE does funky things with textalign:center under Transitional that it won't do (or shouldn't do, at any rate) under Strict.
Simple advice - If switching to Strict doesn't solve the problem entirely, then either remove the absolute positioning in the #container class or else specify a "top" and a "left" for the container.
What's currently happening is that you have specified absolute positioning, and you haven't specified any coordinates, so it's inheriting from the previous block. That is, the centered headline.
Under Transitional, IE has a tendency to to treat "text-align:center" as "center this entire block" instead of "center the text inside of this block". That affects the current top/left coordinates when your #container tries to figure out what its default top and left values should be. If you draw an imaginary box around your "container" you'll see that the top left corner is precisely at the center point of the headlines preceding it.
This is also why switching to Strict may be all it takes to fix it - You still don't need the absolute positioning, but it will at least be inheriting correct values when it guesses where it should be positioned.
If you don't need the absolute position for something in particular, I'd just remove it, personally.
I'll give that a shot. Thanks, Slick!
Just an update: the medals have been forged, and the new palette is ready. Go batty!

Code reviews are the programmer's redlining. *heh*
Well, at least the page isn't aligned to the far right...
It still isn't centered as I had planned it to be.
Change
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre><div id="container">
<div id="palette"></pre><hr />
to
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre><div class="container">
<div class="palette"></pre><hr />
*edit*
Ditto this for the contestant's class. When you specify something like #heroic { width:100px; height:100px}, that's a style class. It's a set of styles that's meant to apply to any number of elements as opposed to, say, just paragraphs. You use the CLASS="heroic" attribute to assign it to an element.
ID="heroic", by contrast, just says that the current element is referenced by the name "heroic", so that if I wanted to get the value of that block, I could do something like call getElementByID("heroic") in a javascript and then manipulate the contents of the block that has that ID.
ID="heroic" doesn't apply any styling.
Really?
I could've sworn it's applied styles to the contents every time I've used an id.
Class uses periods, id uses hashmarks.
So for instance:
p.stuff = <p class=stuff>
p#stuff = <p id=stuff>
To be W3C compliant, use id when there is only one occurrence per page. Use class when there's one or more (aka anytime; this is why I just always use class).

Driven mad by the emergence of her demon-half, Liza Freeman became a burning scourge tearing across the already hellish Mercy Isle. She became Hott Chocolatte (because Hot Chocolate, Hott Chocolate, HotChocolate, Hot Cocoa, and Hott Cocoa were already taken and that's just too many people to kill over a name--she's insane, not crazy).
