Drakodan, as much as I don’t really want to admit it myself, I kind of have to agree with Spacekadt. I mean the rule is pretty cut and dry… Rules like “no trolling”, for example, are open to an individuals interpretation of what is trolling… but the rule you broke is pretty black and white.

I need to head to the store. I will consult with my partner Jim Beam on this and get back to you for the final verdict.

It just occurred to me, what it really boils down to is, is if we accept crinkzpipe’s technacality:

If he gets a pbum on this, Drakodan should too, because he was responding to something Crinkzpipe said BEFORE the “correctly worded” elimination. Responding to an eliminated persons post *they made after being eliminated* was obviously the implied rule (even if not explicitly stated).

Here’s how I see it: If Crinkz doesn’t get the ban, Drakodan stands.

If the mods ban Crinkz then I will be forced to eliminate Drakodan. If they let Crinkz slide, Drakodan slides. I’m not saying I prefer either, but it’s got to be one or the other in all fairness.

JUST POINTING OUT THAT DRAKO STILL REPLIED TO CRINKZPIPE AFTER YOU MADE IT MORE CLEAR.

No, the message I quoted was one he posted after you said ALL contestants excpet for Drakodan and the other one were eliminated.

So it was pretty clear he was breaking the rule regardless.

OH LOOK, IT’S A ELIMINATED CONTESTANT POSTING.

Yeah, but what I’m saying is (if we in fact grant the first elimination as not counting) he responded to a legitimate post Crinkzpipe made BEFORE Crinkzpipe was eliminated; if Crinkzpipe had posted something after the “official” elimination it’d be different.

What I’m saying wasn’t explicitly stated in the rules, but it’s what I implied and what should be viewed as common sense. Example: If person A says something and you go to write response to person A, but I quickly post person A is eliminated before you finish, that should not count against you; it should only count if they were eliminated already and had no right to post. On that principle, Drakodan was replying to a legitimately made post, not a post made by somebody after they got banned.

UMMMMM.

IT TOOK HIM 6 HOURS TO WRITE A POST?

I’ll tell you what, since Halloween is coming up and we’re all going to be doing Halloween things and this isn’t a Halloween contest, we don’t need to debate this and I’m going to just call it right here and now.

Winner: Joseph of Suburbia – 3 Log in to see images!

2nd: Drakodan – 2 Log in to see images!

3rd: Velguador – 1 Log in to see images!

4th: Crinkzpipe – Picture of a cool duck.

That’s how I’m doing it. 2nd and 3rd place are unofficial (there was no toxx for BP on 2nd and 3rd) so if anybody comes back to contest those or say they should be different and “person X should be awarded 2nd place because Y”, oh well, they can have 2nd place but that doesn’t mean I have to give them any BP. I’m just giving those two dudes BP to be nice. This however does not apply to 4th place; if you think you deserve the picture of the duck feel free to plead your case.

Don’t see why Vel deserves bp, but I’ll take my picture of a cool duck and burn it in memory of this cool concept, horrible implementation contest.

He was one of the final people, and I give him props for making the toxx thing because it was pretty solid call and he kind of owned Drakodan. Plus he was eliminated after you, but before Drak.

Since contest is over until thread is closed all eliminated players and everyone may post.

Well, 2’s certainly better than nothing. I was hoping for 3 to get an alt, but I guess I’ll just make my own contest to get a peen now. WATCH THIS SPACE, hint hint.

To all other contestants, nice game, it was fun. Kinda.
