Airship Components: R&D Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[Pison]

So here's a funny little story.

In the contest entry, I sort of rushed to get my entry in there. Didn't see the line about the 500 character limit, so I decided to come into the discussion thread to apologize for it. Wound up re-clicking on the entry thread, posting it in there. Which is my bad.

And then I put my entry into several word count websites, minus the text at the top detailing my character name, prize, etc. and found out it was 496 words. Meaning it was alright as an entry.

But I still posted my apology on the entry thread; sorry 'bout that. I'd delete it if I could. D:

Hi, thank you for running such a fun contest, but now that the winners have been announced I noticed someone missing.

It looks like everyone who entered and followed the contest rules (and several who didn't) were announced as winners, except for one. As far as I can see, Kesari Soulfury is the only entrant who both followed the rules and didn't win. Was this an oversight, or did she actually break the rules in some way?

Thanks again to the Community Team for another fun event. It's a shame more ppl didn't enter. I noticed that this contest could have had up to 100 winners... but only roughly 55 entries.

I had a brief chat with someone over at lodestone who didn't know about the contest and though that it hadn't been advertised at all. I linked them to the original news post though... Perhaps it got lost in the shuffle, or perhaps there could be a little more exposure for these contests?


A couple of random questions regarding prizes:
1) Are there any plans to add additional prizes in the future? I'd love to keep participating in these events, but I now have all 4 usual prize options...
2) I was surprised to discover that the Scarf of Wondrous Wit can be stored in the Armoire. However, the Bluebird Earring, Ahriman Choker and Mandragora Choker cannot. Why is that?

Hello Beckett,

We’re glad you enjoyed the contest!

In regards to Kesari’s entry, this was indeed an oversight during our internal region checks. They’ve been added to the list of winners, and a delivery moogle has been dispatched to deliver their prize as we speak! Thank you very much for alerting us to this.
