Yepper to all of above.well... contests are fun although this one is kind of ... weird. I guess weird is the word I'm looking for.
If you are serious, look me up in the game under Avyi Zenith' (don't forget the ' at the end)...I'll donate a lot to you.well... contests are fun although this one is kind of ... weird. I guess weird is the word I'm looking for.
well. guess I will have to sit around a money lot so I can afford to buy a lot. hmm.
Having FUN! is an objective that, like Mother and apple pie, is difficult to disparage. The problem is that you've designed a contest that relies on subjective standards. Wowing a judge is hard enough when skill is involved. No matter how it rolls, people who don't win will have a fair reason to cry foul. I do not envy Pari!So the entire concept was for people to use what they've learned over the years, and make up some fun things to enjoy. Story-telling, unique homes that you've built, fun uses for items in the game... not "let's impress Parizad"... it's about having FUN!
I thought my whine was a nice subtle hint that Parizad should flip the sandbox switch but instead it brought out some nice players. which is good, either way I don't feel like sitting at a money lot and I have some excellent ideas.Well AK I think it is a great contest to participate although the end is looming over us all...
I noticed some comments on the original article, people really need to let go of their bitterness or gtfo. Honestly sitting here for the next two months bitter is just going to (as my friend says) give you premature wrinkles.
I mean it will give me something to giggle at. But I'm easily amused.
I think those who think they have a good shot at winning should enter!
those who have a good chance at whining, should continue to do so... we wouldn't want to freak anyone out by switching that up now.
oy.

Awards Ceremony: Winners Announced!
Posted By AutumnKiss, 2008-07-01 16:11:10 for EA Land
Last night we held our Awards Ceremony in our EA-Land Contest Giveaway at the Allakhazam Awards house!
It was all glitz and glamour as we invited our contestants to a before-party at the home. This gave our contestants time to get to know each other and wish each other well. Shortly before opening to the general public, Parizad arrived to greet our guests.
Precisely at 4:00pm PDT / 7:00pm EDT, the doors opened to the public, and we were flooded with guests at the front door! Everyone wanted an opportunity to get in and watch the awards show. We quickly filled up, and I had to soon find more seating from other parts of the house! Eventually we got everyone in and started the show.
I know that everyone is just dying to know who won, so I'll get right to it. Well... after I once again congratulate all of our winners, and thank everyone who participated in this event! Many thanks also to Parizad and EA for their contributions towards prizes!
