The Drawing of the WinnersFollow

I'm not trying to be condescending Jord, I always assumed that it would just be a draw. It reminded me of the wiki contest that we had when that was launched, all the prizes were randomly drawn. I'd think that if they were doing merit based awards they'd have to give a pretty clear outline of what would make a post "better" or "worse", somewhat like those story contests that were linked back in the day. Without those criteria I assumed that it was going to be a random draw. I assume they planned on reading all the entries too, just to make sure they were eligible, now who knows, filtering this is going to be a nightmare.

Probably the fact that's already been discussed in every single thread about this that they'll be checking for multiple accounts/posts.

But but! I'm an English major! I thought that'd be an instant win for me :(

I hate you Zam! I hate you!

Tongue in cheek. fyi.

I'm sure they wouldn't put their blind faith in the random number gods. At least one admin has to have played Pokemon at some point and know that's just a bad idea.

I assume they'll do something along the lines of a random drawing, and then check the winner's entry post. They'll make sure it conforms to the rules, including an official entry and the absence of socks.

I think when I crunched some numbers earlier if all posts are counted and they dont delete any right now it looks like the chance of anyone getting one is like at 0.7% chance.

It could be both, but it sounds like they'll be posting it for sure. Not sure as to the when exactly, other than later today.

Well, some of us actually wrote alot, and put alot of work into it. Atleast I did, and I did't know it was random. If I knew I would't write so much, and just simplified it alot. I think it's lame that they did't make this clear in the rules.

But in a wierd way im glad I wrote alot, because maybe someone looked at my post and said to them self: Wow, I actually look forward to that aswell, I just did't think of it this way!

So maybe I made a difference even tho I dont win.:) Just that is a prize for my part.

Good that it's random. I'm bad at writing. Not everyone here is a Shakespeare.

And besides, you need only one reason. There's no reason to write an essay about new heroics. Few sentences are enough.
Hoping to get a key! :D

*evil grin* QQ moar about believing you had to think about something you're looking forward to and - ohmygosh - typing it up and posting it ;)

So will you complain about having to download the beta client for ages because that's hard as well?

Yes, I'm feeling snooty *gg*

Although the difference with the wiki contest is that there were ways to get your name on the list more than once depending on the number of wiki entries/pages/guides/etc that you made.
