Hail,
i would have loved to participate at the contest.
but:
1. i didn't see your post early enough, i found out about the contest on the 5th of november.
2. i can't design a real nice house in 2 days
3. i can't decorate a house in 2 days
sadly i don't have enough time to play 24h a day *grins*
the timeframe... 22 of october til the 8th of november.... 3 weeks?
think everyone knows, to build a real nice house for a specific purpose including decoration will take a while. so 3 weeks are .... not long enough. could be people don't find out about the contest in time or are busy RL and there was the halloween quest.
just my personal opinion.
maybe next time more house design freaks get the opportunity to participate a contest like that. and maybe they can design something what is more drachenfels like.

Hail,
1)
http://drachenfels.uoem.net/ is the official source, if you don't want to rely on my informations here
2) It's not my fault that you read about the event only 3 days before it's ending
3) I don't have 24 hours/day to play either - in fact I have only 6-7 hours (and most of them I am asleep)
4) 3 weeks are fair enough if you really want to participate, do something, even if not perfect, just DOING something
Well, I heard my design was the ONLY ONE who was sent in, that's probably why it was chosen as the winning one. What does that tell us about the oh so dedicated designer community of Drachenfels? You know, more than one dedicated house designer, that would be really cool - it would be a real contest then!
But, as you probably know, it's always the same: People (like you) complain immediately when they realise they are too late, too busy, too lazy or just finding a convenient excuse to just COMPLAIN about something. Complaining AFTERWARDS is so easy, right?
After the WBB design was chosen - oh sorry, I won that also, but this time I know it wasn't the only one sent in (rolleyes
- I was amused how people (like you) showed up AFTER the event, complaining, talking about how much they could do it better, bla bla bla etc. etc.
Anyone can read on the EM's webpages and inform themselves of events. Aynone can spare a few hours if they really want to. Anyone can copy & paste pictures if they really care about an event they like.
And fact is - you are/were too late.
And to be blunt: I am really fed up with people who ALWAYS complain AFTER events. And most of them are doing NOTHING for the community - only brag about it before an event even starts...
So, yeah. Good luck next time!
