Defi 1 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Congrats to winners! I'm a bit disapointed i didn't even get an encouragement prize but hey, the judges obviously have their reasons for giving the prizes to the winners that have them, we just have to try and figure out what they are ;) I just hope that people are gracious in victory (Unlike jayrox :facepalm: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer snorlax 645 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Developer Share Posted July 30, 2013 Dear players. I had to delete some drama here and I will explain everything. Rules are rules. Story contest "Day in the life of a monster" originally was designed as short 1-day story and 1k-4k characters is not a "must", but "should" criteria. Few hundreds characters more are not that bad and not such big violation. It is normal to discuss current thread, but insulting other players and administration will be prosecuted. We are trying to keep friendly environment on our forum as it should be. It is hard to post all measures for that kind of contests, because it is a creative one. You cannot measure the talent, but we tried to make some contest and try to judge stories. Overreacting is quite expected, for sure. Unfortunately, we couldn't make 100 hundred first places, even if we would like to. Every single thread deserves attention, of course. We will try to make some easy judging contest accessible for everyone. Dialogue is the key to understanding. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i already said to cereal killer we also enjoy just participating. Actually a lot. Thank you, but next time add (please) in the rules that rules may be changed if judges are not happy enough with the "artwork" who fit in rules. It was shocking for me and you guys will not understand. I could made a better story, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defi 1 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I agree that the competition was hard to judge and that the stories chosen were very good. But the rules say the max character limit is 4000 and winning posts are over this limit. I know nothing can be done now the rewards have been given out but next time, if you see that the stories are going the wrong way, tell us so we can sort our entries out and we can all avoid this ending. Then we can all be friends :friends: :drinks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's done and that's fine, but their was no 'should' in the original contest post and now you guys are trying to bend things to fit your actions. I know that it's bloody hard judging creative work, but in story writing a max limit of characters is a very important and hard criteria to consider when you plan your story. Not even you devs seem to exactly know why this happened, more then apparently everyone missed the critera mark and thats why you guys had to improvise the rules to even get any winners. It's quite obvious why people are upset. Instead of trying to slither just apologize. And congratulations to the winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REAPER 110 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 lets not start drama again. there are many that writed a story within 4k chars. some won some not. but there was good stories that was over 4k chars. just cut them off? nope. some of them won too. topic should stayed locked.

If i knew some winners were over 40000 my 6700 charcter could've possibly won. But geez not even a encouring prize. I read your story btw was wonderful.

Many? If i could quote i would but earlier on devs were saying only 3.5 of the stories were actually within limit. Just a bit of fuel to the fire there, but i think you should read everything that has been posted by devs/users before you start making statements. So yeah, well done to the 3 and a half people that succesfully wrote an interesting short story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m sure you have some good in-game friends. That just might be an reason to stay. Sorry but I really think you are overreacting to a loss.
