Lets discuss "20 sec to New year"

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

I don't think mine was as good as some of the others. I am not saying I am not happy that I got second, but it was undeserved. Wiki's, Selena's, and others had better videos, although not the most original. I think though, that even if you didn't win, you should know that everyone is a winner at heart. If you take the time, try hard, and strive to win, then the battle is already over, and you have suceeded.

Wow, cliche alert...

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

LOL

 

cliché or cliche (UK /ˈkliːʃeɪ/ or US /klɪˈʃeɪ/) is an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.^{[citation needed]} In phraseology, the term has taken on a more technical meaning, referring to any expression imposed by conventionalized linguistic usage. The term is frequently used in modern culture for an action or idea which is expected or predictable, based on a prior event. Typically a pejorative, "clichés" are not always false or inaccurate; a cliché may or may not be true.^[1] Some are stereotypes, but some are simply truisms and facts.^[2] Clichés are often employed for comic effect, typically in fiction.

Lol, I can't say that I can agree.

My son is the one who got me hooked on this game and yes, I did earn and try despirately to keep up with him and obtain Warrant officer 4 status on my own... we battle together and against each other sometimes and we were really, really excited to do this contest... the developers have shown their acknowledgement but we have a problem.... they did not award crystals to his account, only mine. Now, he is totally discouraged so I am hoping that he gets crystals applied to his account, even if they split the award as that is what we expected them to do... UGHHHHH I am sure it was an honest mistake and we have alerted thru PM to Bruce the problem... they are gone for the day so hopefully everything in this area will be resolved tomorrow... do they work on the weekends or should we just assume nothing will be done until Monday??? Any input is appreciated! Thanks guys!

Hmph. I have to do now one or two months' waiting before I re-activate myself in this contest business, I need to think this thing over.

Hey Selena... it was a learning experience for us all, that's for sure! YouTube added an extra second to our video too and so we can all plan on that ahead of time so as to not have to go back and re-edit to allow for this to happen. I think they may have loved your video as well but because of YouTube adding that extra second, it may have just boiled down to being over 30 seconds total and eliminated you not for quality but for length.... so don't beat yourself up too bad... you have really great creative and exciting ideas... don't be afraid to utilize your thoughts and ideas in the future! Seriously.. just don't be discouraged... we all have to live and learn ... I hope this helps! Enjoy your day! Edited December 29, 2012 by beastie408

It is commendable for you to come on here and be so humble but it is clear that you did put forth a great deal of effort and thought to your video so pat yourself on the back! See you in the battles! Congrats!

i have earned my crystals

Yes you did! I have faith that the people responsible for applying the crystals correctly will come through and correct their mistake. It was supported through the rules that more than one player is invited to participate in the videos and our video clearly states both of our names as player's and therefore, I just hope they correct it sooner than later..... Great Job! : )

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

your taking this so well is also very commendable :)

[Meliora 1,652]

Beastie, I know for a fact that the extra second was not the problem. I had already asked Bruce.

I was just trying to figure it out because yours was pretty unique and those dominos were an excellent idea! You are lucky that you got a response from Bruce... my son is sooooo discouraged about not getting any crystals into his account when he and I both worked soooo hard on our video and the editing and everything... we have not heard anything from anyone on this.... the 3000 crystals should have been split between the accounts... I don't have the money to buy him crystals to make him feel better nor should I have to. There is no way to transfer crystals and he wants to upgrade something. I wish I could at least get someone to at least respond to us. The original instructions encouraged more than one player to do videos together yet now we have a problem that just seems to go on without any response at all.... I have absolutely LOVED playing this game and think so many great things about everything in it so I JUST HOPE THIS situation doesn't persist tooo long as it is really taking it's impact to another level when no body even responds to our inquiries and requests of applying the crystals half and half to both accounts... it is clear in our video, you tube and beyond as to our equal participation in this contest. UGHHHH... I don't want all this stuff to get too escalated but shouldn't have to spend money to make my son happy when all we expected is that any prize be split between the player's involved.!!!!! I hate that we have a problem, I wish we didn't. Nothing was answered today at all. I am not sure if they are in the office over the weekends or if it's automated server updates and stuff. It's hard to tell a 13 year old they have to wait to get their prize... Just venting here as to what I am dealing with and anyone have any ideas about the schedules if they work on the weekends or not would be appreciated. Thanks!

These contest are judged only by devs and other tanki staff. In their opinion the current winning videos were better, and you can't change their idea even if you think that your entry deserved more. Here "My (Devs) Opinion >>>>> Your Opinion".

 

 

Keep this in mind: even if you made the best video evah, entry, painting, cake or whatever, you could still not win. Instead, maybe that one crappy video you thought to have no chance of winning could get the first prize. This will save you from butthurt and whining at unexpected final results.
