Rust Contest ending rule? (not a thread to post your drawings in) - Rust

I feel for the moderators who have the job of looking through the pictures. 80% of drawings were probably stickmen, and another 10% probably didn't even comply to the rules in the OP.

Thanks for the heads up Postal!

[QUOTE=postal;41432114][/QUOTE] So, postal, will everyone who drew a picture and followed the rules get a key? Granted, I know it will be at least a week or so to sort through them all, but will they all get one? I'm pretty let down. I've been busy with online classes and getting ready for college and shit. Didn't have much time to draw a picture. Hopefully there's something soon for the people who didn't have the chance to draw something!

[QUOTE=The Houdini;41432881]So, postal, will everyone who drew a picture and followed the rules get a key?[/quote] No, it's a contest not a giveaway.

[QUOTE=postal;41433016]No, it's a contest not a giveaway.[/QUOTE] Is there a cap on how many winners there are, or is it if the drawings are good ; they get a key?

[QUOTE=postal;41433016]No, it's a contest not a giveaway.[/QUOTE] That makes sense. Just had me confused with the first few pictures that got keys.

I understand, but it still sucks balls :-p But why did you remove the thread? Now I can't repost my picture :'( 3,5 hours of work for nothing :'( I guess I'll have to wait for the open beta...

I understand that going through every single link for Imgur and what not is extremely tedious and its awesome that you guys are willing to do that but I gave a link for my picture because that what it said in the rules to do. I wasnt trying to be lazy or anything and im sure most other people were not trying to be either.[QUOTE=postal;41431282]We're not disqualifying any that are huge. But if you couldn't take the time to figure out how img tags work on a forum than that's your problem. There's thousands and thousands of posts in that thread, we're not gonna click each of those many many links one at a time to view them just because some people were too lazy to figure out how img tags work or whatever. If you were worried about your image being too big nothing was stopping you from using [thumb] or [t] tags, either. All linking did was make our job extremely tedious.[/QUOTE]

Any plan on doing another contest?

Just a quick question will the winners be posted up or will it be a private message of the key

[QUOTE=TheeDrewski;41433720]I gave a link for my picture because that what it said in the rules to do.[/QUOTE] It said to post it. Posting it means to use the actual tags meant for posting images.

soooooooooooooo happy that i still have a chance to get in , thanks guys :rock: [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=ramirez!;41430217]I have a big monitor, and to fully see some of these pictures I would have to zoom to 5% or so. Use [noparse][thumb] [/thumb][/noparse], not standard image tags.[/QUOTE] i play on a 42 inch monitor lol and the images were still to big for my screen lol in 1080p

So exciting waiting to see who wins. :)

Thanks for the thread understanding the rules better. Are you going through page by page

I understand that you guys don't want to click every link, but i have to say, that the rules didn't say anything about a link. I was thinking about it and thought that that might happen, but since you banned some postings of a link cause the picture didn't fit the rules, it clearly appeared you would consider & judge pictures posted via links too.

[QUOTE=postal;41431614]No, it wouldn't. It would cause even more problems because people would get upset at us if they felt their picture was better than any of the winners. The forum doesn't need that right now. If you don't get PM'd a key you'll know you didn't win. [editline]12th July 2013[/editline] You guys have a lot of work to do. No. We divided the thread into sections and split it up amongst a few of us moderators, we'll finish when we finish and we'll let people know when that happens, but it could be a few days.[/QUOTE]

Postal, may I ask you how many keys you will give out, my drawing may not be the best but am I still able to eventually win a key or will it just be given away to like 10-15 people out of those thousands of entries which was the best of the best?

that really sucks... why didnt tell it a little bit earlyer.

[QUOTE=WaterMelonCal;41440286]postal posted: No, it's a contest not a giveaway.[/QUOTE] No shit sherlock holmes, that's not what I asked buddy, I asked how many keys will be given away I know it is obviously not a giveaway where everyone will win even if you drew like crap and diden't put a lot of effort into your drawing, but how many alpha keys are we talking about that was my question, will it be 10, or 1000 who get's a key?

[QUOTE=WaterMelonCal;41440286]postal posted: No, it's a contest not a giveaway.[/QUOTE] Did you even read what he said?

[QUOTE=WaterMelonCal;41432739]I feel for the moderators who have the job of looking through the pictures. 80% of drawings were probably stickmen, and another 10% probably didn't even comply to the rules in the OP.[/QUOTE] remember that one of the mods said that the humor also counted, and remember, the first winners drew stick figures, but they won because it was so damn funny

XD Downscaled mine at imgur when I saw all those massive pictures! I don't understand why people don't just edit their posts and make their pictures abit more pleasing for the watching eyes.

[QUOTE=ShadowDragonz;41431943]Sounds good, glad that you guys are finally getting to it. May the odds be forever in your favor.[/QUOTE] The odds are NEVER in our favor :P
