This is a current event. It happened today.

For all of you that were in my contest today, you saw that it got closed put on hold. I made changes to the OP to try and fix it. At 3:00 GMT-6 (4:00p.m. server time) I left to go to work. This would be why I was not there to explain the ambiguities in my OP.

The “Most Interesting Post” Category never had a prize (it was 0BP and never increased). Thus, its presence in the OP makes no difference.

it’s not closed, it’s on hold until ET and MCB give their thoughts on what happens now.

Also, there seems to have been an epidemic of not reading the posts in the thread. zagerblag could not benefit from the contest since he decided not to participate. Nor could anyone else that pulled out of the contest while I was gone.

imo, a closed contest is “a contest that cannot be posted in”

point taken, post edited (this isn’t a contest, no toxx)

IMO, the entire alleged BP pot needs to be transferred to a Mod, first of all, to prove that the prize pool actually exists.

Then, a Mod or Admin should clarify the rules of the contest, and edit the OP of that contest to reflect the clarified rules, and gene should NOT edit that post at all, or suffer toxx.

My question is this: How did gene go from begging for BP to running this insane contest? I thought the he was unable to purchase BP because his parents monitored his activities so closely.

generichaxor is my main account. anonymoushaxor is my alt.

—————————————————————-

if it not’s obvious enough that zagerblag, darkdespair5, and generichaxor are different players, look at their profiles.

zagerblag and darkdespair5 are b& for individual posts they made. i am not b&. Bans go by accounts, not characters (as far as i know, this is true)

yeah, they did. But i’ll post as often as I can in RP to make up for missing views.

i hate being at the center of it all. the pressure that i may get b& any second now (seeing as my excessive verbosity and typographical errors turned a functional contest into a festering pile of contradictions)

You have to admit, though, yours was a really convoluted contest, with the rules changing around so much. Maybe Hobart went overboard trying to get you in trouble, but the part that irritates me the most is that the people defending you got banned.

With all due respect, if you’d kept the contest straightforward and simple, none of this would have happened.

I hope this gets resolved quickly, and I really hope you do have the BP for the contest.

when this all gets cleared up and all bans expire, it’ll be a klan contest again. i have 11, MiaHo has 20, DraQ has 2, CommunistPrime said he would donate his BP to the jackpot (he still has a lot of BP, so this could increase the jackpot significantly)

My question is this: How did gene go from begging for BP to running this insane contest? I thought the he was unable to purchase BP because his parents monitored his activities so closely.

i’ve never bought a BP (no yellow smiley)

let me give you my history of BP:

1. Ran contest for 1BP with 0BP (shut down by McBanhammer)

2. Got 1BP from Dorque’s website (sent to Tubs to start contest)

3. Got 3BP from a contest (can’t remember which one)

4. Got 4 more BP from Dorque (bought ep2)

5. Won the “Christmas Sob Story Contest”: Received 4BP from Dobnits.

6. Sent 4BP to Tubs (contest now at 5BP)

7. Got BP from a dare (can’t remember the source)

8. A friend of mine dared me to get banned for a BP. I won the bet by asking for a ban. (sent 2 BP to tubs, contest now at 7BP)

9. received 5BP from a player (will look for the name soon)

10. bought 1 community ad, other 4BP sent to tubs (contest now at 11BP)

11. Receive 5BP from CommunistPrime. Buy alt and 2 community ads.

12. Receive 20BP from MiaHo. (sent 20 BP to tubs, contest now at 31BP)

// never received DraQ BP because he renounced his desire to donate BP (he wisely chose to avoid the impending drama)

——————————————————————————————-

all my BP were obtained on the internet, through begging, not IRL.

My parents DO monitor everything i do closely. it’s annoying at times.

i technically have 0BP to myself. This is why I still beg for BP. I want to go buy my own so that i can get a smiley like everyone else, but alas this is impossible (unless the mods/ET somehow divert the smiley from the buyer to me)

since my sig is now empty of advertising, does anyone need anything particular advertised for them?
