Yoyorast Island v2 Movie/Trailer Contest Poll

[p0lar_bear]

I'm reposting what I posted because I felt the need to delete my input on the videos, to prevent my opinion swaying others. Plus I edited it like 50 times to fix my wording, and want to address a couple things.

I gave him a unprotected build.

All you had to do is ask.

You should have posted it publicly for all to use in the contest. While I know you would have been happy to give it to people who asked for it, not everyone thinks to ask (either going without or finding other ways to get it).

I realize that Ganon didn't make his video with any manipulated content. However, admitting to giving him an unprotected map raises questions and arouses suspicion; just look what happened in here! While it normally isn't a big deal in most "contests" I see around the communities, what's different here is that $250 is at stake. You, a creator of the map, giving a contestant access to things not everyone has readily available, is almost like sending the money to them at the start of the contest.

Also I seriously doubt having acess to the pinup images made ganon's video infinitely better than everyone elses, I'll tell you what did though, it was his experience from doing this on a regular basis.

Yoyorast also posted decent quality images of the pinups on multiple occasions before the map was released. Those could have been used by anyone.

Ok, ok, I stand corrected on what I originally said.

Goddamn, this is why we don't do much around here. The community attempts to organize something fun to do, and all of a sudden tempers flare, accusations are made, and I need to make tough decisions and type as if I'm tiptoeing through a goddamn minefield. Maybe we shouldn't make the mistake of offering prizes.
