but i've been telling all my friends... is that wrong?

Congrats LoF!!!

so gonna try to be there!

dude, its not the official site but its official CoH work... get freaking over it, they KNOW what is theirs and what is eligible or not THEY thought it was great, so you need to get over it and give credit to ncsoft and cryptic to actually KNOW what they're doing.

for the people who think #2 shouldn't have won because of the comic book when don't yu just read this part of the agreement area you agreed to and shutup about it

"Sponsor has the right to terminate, suspend or modify this contest, in whole or in part, at any time and without prior notice"

to me that says that if they didn't say speficially you could use the comic, but someone did and they liked it that's ok cause they can change it at anytime without notifying you.

as far as this: "Al l participants will have their entries and their forum (or real names) and city/state or province/country of residence posted on the Heroes web site " is concerned I would take that as refering to the winners. considering its under #5. refering to the prize.

AND "Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may edit and modify any submission before posting. " maybe they thought it was in best interested to let Veikira modify his entry. which was NOT a second submission, second submission would be something completely different not the same thing.

And for the all the people who wanted a return email saying that got it (which I didn't even care if I got... if I didn't recieve an email saying it didn't go through I'd assume it did) lets throw this one out there: "You waive the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages. " AND "Sponsor is not responsible for any failure to contact entrants, whether due to technical or human error. "

They've had 3 contests so far and didn't reply to anyone so just let it go and don't enter any contests that CoH holds... easy as that!

Whether the "best of the best" is actually represented is subject to opinion...

Right there is what I feel is so wrong with many many of the posts in this thread. You're basically telling the winners that they aren't good, that someone else was better. And THAT is the basic defintion of being a sore loser. and you're also taking into the fact that everything thinks there's is better... but also if you've seen American Idol... many many people live in the river in egypt... Almost everyone will think their's is better than the winners. But realistically they aren't. and since the majority of the people in this post aren't the winners, there's definitely going to be a majority of people complaining... i'm think i'm probably one of the only stupid winners that's gonna bother cause it is getting pointless. But I really can't stand that people are actually dissin on the winners, even if myself wasn't included. Infact I KNEW I had no chance at first place because Veikira entered and I think his artwork is just the best and i'm very very honored that he drew my character Larke.

Oh and I would like to quote CuppaJo here

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to post all the great entries we’ve received, so we’ve put up on our gallery the last installment of what we think is an excellent representation of the contest’s varied and talented submissions.

It doesn't say that those were the best there were obviously many more... but that's what they decided to put up. And basically what is posted DOES respresent how many talented people play CoH.

And whining about what was is detracting from the fact that the winners did a damn fine job

That's the problem that many are having - many people posting here (including myself) don't think everybody that got something posted did a damn fine job... I'm not putting anybody down (or atleast not trying to and apologize if I did) but that's the simple fact of the matter...

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not saying that everyone that got something posted did a damn fine job... I'm talking about the 6 WINNERS. They did that's why they won, cryptic thought they were the best, it was their contest. You all don't get to decide and to continue to post and be pissy about how the contest turn out is distracting from the "glory" of the winners.

The wallpapers that got posted, yeah some were the winning 6, but they did not say that what they were posting were reflecting finalists or winners, just some of the desktops that were submitted. But I do have to point out that SweetThing was pretty much the first person to post and [censored] and his WAS posted there.

I think that its probably that they don't want to take the time to do it, it probably is a lot and to show all of them in each resolution will take a lot of time and space... and mine wasn't in the first set.... I think it was a nice thing that they showed people some of the entries, they didn't have to do that at all, they made it easy to find them. and people complaining they didn't get this or that and how theirs was better than the winners is being a sore loser... if I hadn't have won I'd still be [censored] at the people [censored] cause its just not right... be happy for the people that one and the people that didn't don't neccessarily need recognition, just continue to post the work in the Fan Art section. And whining about what was is detracting from the fact that the winners did a damn fine job and they don't deserve to be getting a "congratulations... but"

For some reason I have to reply to this...

1. its a contest... they could have chose the worst wallpapers out there and no one can really say anything, cause its what they want to do, they're doing something nice for the people who pay to play the game... be happy they let you submit something...

2. they made no other promises than they'd announce the winners on the 25th, which they did.

3.I have no problems reaching around my back to scratch my elbow.

4. the people complaining are being really sore losers.

5. All I wanted was a teeshirt and I got it... I didn't expect mine to win at all.. but I definitely think I had originality down... nobody knows what the home planet looks like, it was just a fun creative idea. I think I became a runner up because of that reason... not necessarily the best one, but definitely one of the most creative.

6. the people at cryptic/ncsoft never claimed to be the say all in wallpaper or graphic art in ANY WAY, they chose what they like, so its all subject. Just because some professionals might not think is the perfect display of art and good coloration layout whatever... doesn't mean someone can't like it. I personally hate the Mona Lisa and everybody freaking raves about it.
