Guild Wars 'Dingbat' Contest - FoW Armor prize and more..

[Arthur Victus]

13 Prizes: 2 GWOnline, 11 Guru. Yes, cheated would seem to fit. They must have had all the creativity.

This is also why I wanted to see the selection process, to see how they were selecting the entrants.

Well Congratulations to all the winners that will never see this since they reside on Guru.

AND TO THE 2 OF OUR WONDERFUL GWONLINERS:
WOOOT! You beat the statistics and truly impressed them. My hat's off to you.

[Minelle Tempest]

Woah.. I won something?!

Personally, I think there are so many other entries here on GWO that deserve a prize more than mine..

Also, it would be nice if there had been a compilation of at least all the winning entires. Having all the entries compiled somewhere would be nice, too, but I realize that might not be feasible. Thing is, I'm one of these people who, well, favour GWO over Guru (don't even have an account over there) and it would be nice to see what everyone else came up with without having to do forum or even google searches for the entries.

Oh, and how will the prizes be distributed? Are you hosting a ceremony of some kind or what? Info would be appreciated.

Excellent - the 'winner' isn't even a Dingbat!

Perhaps the 'creators' of this contest should understand what it is they're asking for BEFORE they post the competition to the web.

Sad that so many people simply wasted their time because this was a comp run by high school kids for high school kids.

Guessing that many people are feeling cheated right now.

Exactly, thank you BOB, I was expecting a bunch of posts flaming me by now. Glad to see someone else sees the same way.

Same here.. I didn't know Guru was involved till very last days of the contest and I was pretty sure I couldn't win

Oh well, yeah 13-2 seems a bit wrong here too but I can't really go on and make myself accuse anyone since these guys are distributing FREE prizes(and what prizes).. heh

Congrats to you two Minelle and Dark3, although personally, from what I've seen at Guru, one of you or both of you should have placed in the top 3.

after reviewing the entries i think they disregarded their statement of the "you dont have to be an expert with drawing to participate" there should have been a disclaimer stating " You dont have to be an expert with drawing to participate: but you wont have a chance to win!" -rant-

Yes, they basically contradicted everything they stated in the rules. Good show judges. I don't know what possessed me when I assumed this contest would be based on creativity and humor. Oh wait...maybe it was from the contest description. NAH.

That's a really negative view on a contest...

Not sure on what you were "cheated" out of besides a little time, and I doubt that anyones creation here will yield much fame or fortune beyond the in-game stuff the winners got.

It's not a negative view. It's the truth. When they tell us specifically what the contest is about and what it should be based on, I expect the winners' drawings to have all of the aspects that are supposed to be in them.
