contest Describe This In 100 Words!

[Sacrifice 2,278]

 

@SHREYA88 It was decided that the results of this contest will be announced in the birthday issue. When we announce the result, we need to create the topic as well as mention all the details in that topic. 

So in this case, random basically created the topic for results two days before the results submission was closed and started "formatting" the topic ie adding banner, linking it to MT, mentioning crystals for each position and etc. 

After two days, when the submissions were closed, random started judging entries. Which means that all entries submitted before the deadline mentioned on the topic were considered.

After judging entries, the only thing that was left to do was to mention the winners. 

In short, the template of the results were created before the submission date ended, while the results were judged and winners were mentioned later during the week.

The confusion over here is that basically reporters can create topics and keep them hidden from general public. We do this all the time and at the end of the contest, we only have to copy paste winners name. This saves us time and makes us efficient.

Additionally, please refrain quoting the whole topic

To avoid any confusion: Entries submitted by @E_polypterus and @sharifsahaf were considered provided that they submitted them before the mentioned deadline.

Thanks for participating and congratulations to the winners! If you are unsatisfied or have any concerns about the judging, please PM me for any further inquiries.

 

@SHREYA88 This is the topic that was created "two days" before the deadline. 

After deadline and after the entries were judged, the "USERNAME" was/were replaced by the winners name and the entries of all the winners were pasted in the spoiler. I hope this clarifies it!

No worries! You really don't need to!

It's alright, I didn't fully understand how the Forum works, and I'm learning... You guys help people like me in times of confusion, and that's what matters! 

Sorry for being overly suspicious, but frankly, that's how it seemed until now....(now that I've understood how Newspaper Reporters work)

Thanks a lot for everything!

No worries at all! Before I became a reporter, I had similar questions. We are open for any questions that you may have and no, it was not "suspicion". I would rather take it as a mere concern and you have every right to clarify your doubts.

Stay safe.

See?? 1st June, Monday, was the last date to submit entries. Yet the results were announced 2 days before the submission date. I don't understand whether this was a mistake, or a serious practical joke.... 

or... there is a third option... i can't say it it is too scary and unthinkable just to think a bout it

the contest is rigged!  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
