Fact of the matter is, you guys are doing something wrong. I haven't seen one person say, "nice work man, you earned it" to these winners. The charlie brown one got some compliments, but I have a feeling that if you had a public vote on the best pic, NONE of the winners would make it in the top 10.

Frankly, I'm entirely over the disappointment of losing. I got my own beta key a few days ago and I have no reason to visit these forums. I'm writing this because I think you should know that the judges of these contests are NOT fit to do so, not by a long shot. There isn't a trace of talent or initiative in any of the winners. Why are you rewarding mediocrity?

I was fully prepared to lose to that guy who sent in the "Blinding Flash" submission from week 2. I thought I had a good chance of beating him, but I knew that it was going to come down to the 2 of us. I looked through every single submission multiple times and didn't see more than 5 or 6 good ones, the blinding flash being my biggest competition. The winner's submission was so underwhelming, I don't even remember seeing it. It was so unimaginably dull, simplistic, and unfunny, it made me realize that you guys don't take this contest seriously. No one in their right mind would pick that failure over the blinding flash submission, let alone some of the ones I sent in as well as a select few others.

You have to realize that the reason people think this contest isn't really a contest, is because of the massive failure of the judges in selecting winners. People have a hard time believing the legitimacy of this thing when the winners appear to have been selected randomly. It's not everyone else, it's you. I've shared this contest, it's winners, my submissions, as well as some of the other top submissions with hundreds of people over Facebook. ALL of them are nothing short of disgusted with the results. It is an abomination, and an insult to real competitions everywhere. At least half of them asked me, "are you sure the winner wasn't selected at random?". No one believes that a group of people sat down and picked those winners over some of the amazing entries that came in, it just isn't logical, and it doesn't seem possible.

Sorry, but this is one of the biggest failures I've ever witnessed.

*sigh*

Every week I dread this because there is no way we can please everyone. One thing I CAN assure you of though is we do not hand out keys to friends. We have staff that still need keys. We were not given these keys with any instructions. If we wanted to keep all of them and pretend we got none we could have. I know not everyone is going to agree with winners, and that's just what happens when you have near 3000 entries from all across the world.

I just don't want anyone thinking we're doing anything shady. We'd never betray out fans like that. We even exclude staff from these contests because it wouldn't seem fair if they won, and everyone would be angry.

Anyways I think that's all I wanted to say.


Sorry you didn't win, better luck in the next contest! Binkles is a interesting little guy. In case anyone is wondering he is just a frog with a special name that was datamined, we have no clue where he's from or what it's about, he's not even in the game. So the story is yours to mold.
