Nice job to everyone, especially @Emily !

[Rocket]

Bows down to @Emily thank you for all your hard work, I know it took a lot to get this up and running!

[Emily]

Thanks guys! 

 

I gave staff the participation award too because they helped me set it up (esp. when there were setting problems) and really helped me whenever I needed it. They answered my questions, helped investigate, threw out ideas, and whole lot more. So a big thank you to the rest of staff too!

Is the referral system going to stay active? It might be worth making a few awards for referrals and leaving it open, considering how much work went into it.

I believe we will do so, yes

$50 shit, had I known that

[Batori]

@Emily Oh sweet! Thank you!! I'd happily take either the monetary split or the FR prize (assuming I read that right).

[Canis]

Sweet, I won! @Rocket was neck and neck with me lol

I'm a little confused by the prizes--I know it says I get $50, but do I still get to pick from the stuff under Prizes?

Sorry I've never won a contest before

Wow, congratulations guys!  

(If I had friends interested in cheating at games, I'd have referred them. XD)

Well, $50 was the first place prize The other stuff was just supposed to be extras for the people participating.

So I can't pick from those prizes?

I'm seriously confused lol I was under the impression that those were the prizes we were competing for

Of you want to forfeit the $50 for another prize I'll gladly take it instead and give mine to someone else

[Canis]

Not to mention that one of the prizes is more money than the first place prize?

What??? None of that is worth more than a couple dollars..

The original contest post said nothing about $50 from Strat so I just assumed it was an additional thing thrown in at the last minute.

I was looking to claim the "$50, $25, $15, and $10 of store credit that can be used as store credit or can be requested as a payout to Paypal." from Hydrogen since that's what truly motivated me for the contest (been in terrible financial trouble recently so that money would help immensely).

 

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful--I'm just confused, is all. x_x

What.. you won $50.. that's the biggest prize there? lol

"$50, $25, $15, and $10 of store credit that can be used as store credit or can be requested as a payout to Paypal."

 

That's $100 into my Paypal account... last I checked, $100 is more than $50.

Read the first post again... You get $50 .. it's donated from hydrogen but Strat will be handing it out to you. I win $25 and the remaining $15 and $10 and other prizes are split between the rest of the winners. Leftover will go back into contest pools.
