I love how I was completely ignored on my entry inspite of how much work I did to get the clothing a& the fact I made effort to throw in the All Saint's wake (Halloween) season flair. I feel very jipped right now. I think maybe I should just quit this game first my main character is robbed of hundreds of thousands of gil and allagan tomestones and Im given the run around for 2 months & now after waiting days for them to post these results I see people who to be honest were BORING in their winning entries. I feel very jilted by Square right now. OF course most of the winners are from Japan & it seems this was based on the amount of LIKES their posts got on the forum post of their entry as I checked - Funny I didnt recall that this was said that this was going to be the criteria used to judge is in the rules. IF I knew, I would have shamelessly begged friends to click LIKE for me.

Joe, go chill your knickers. It is not a fraud. You just didn't win.

SE doesn't care about how much you spent. It was about composition, creativity, and mimicry. No amount of 'flair' is going to help. Which is why the seasonal entries didn't place.

I understand how losing a contest that you really wanted to win feels.

It's strictly against the rules for anyone outside of the U.S.A. and Canada to win. Each region had their own contest. You're content to throw mud and baseless accusations because you didn't get what you wanted.

I saw your entry and-- it wasn't executed that well. The composition was off, your focus wasn't on your NPC, it was blurred and there was a random imp flying in it.

The contest wasn't chosen by likes. If it were, they could have just tallied them up days ago and got us results like a poll.

The choice isn't going to be reversed because YOU didn't like it.
