Anyone else get shafted on the recruitment video contest?

[BotenAnna]

Welcome to life. You don't always get a trophy just for participating.

Except the extremely bare minimum "I participated" entry got an award and the one that is actually well done and amusing got nothing

Please try to keep up.

I like your video one of the best I seen. As for that trash KoK video that won, SE must have picked them at random because that had squat to do with a FC. The DEVs will post tomorrow saying there was a mix up like every other contest.

Up to 10 does not mean there will be 10.

I can't understand how stuff like this won https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNHB...ature=youtu.be

Yea um, I can't understand how that won either (if it did). I would say you're all crybabies, but that video is a great heaping load and I would honestly probably be upset myself if anything I created was passed over in favor of that.

Then again, I would never join that free company now if I were on that server, winners or not. So...

Am I the only one who wasn't impressed by half of the "winning" videos? There are some quality ones in that list but most of them were just - ugh.

[KraggyKor]

So I'd like to hear what you guys think about this matter.

You really think that SE's checking to see if the FCs who submitted their entries were ACTUALLY open to recruitment is unfair?

Really?

LOL!

Seems your FC weren't really wanting to recruit, just get a prize so .. yeah, SE were perfectly fair!

And yeah, as many have said "up to" doesn't mean what you think it does.

Just for reference, my FCs entry (didn't win): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D99xoFad4A

This is great and you are great. I'm sorry your FC didn't win anything.

It's puzzling but important thing is have fun when making it with your friends and fc. I had lots of fun when doing it cause the whole fc came together. Didn't bother abt contest in the end haha

[Elvin]

Didn't submit any video, but yep, I think that they choose them randomly.

I thought the same about some screenshot contest. SE making friends xD

Hello, I watched your video and could think of only two things that probably would have disqualified it.

1) Showing your website in the middle of the video
2) Showing the names of non-FC people from the different servers during the PVP portion

Edit: As for my own video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j7_WTVpk7I
I decided to play it safe with no voice or text overlay or special effects (except the beginning and end, which was allowed). While voice was confirmed to be okay, the moderators never got back to us with the other things. The contest rules were sort of hard to follow or vague and this seems like the reason many were disqualified. >< Although I won, judging from the other videos that won, I could have done a lot more with mine. I wish more clarification was given. ;o;
