Latest Competition

[tacovendor]

When will the credits be awarded to me?  I thought it was all automatic a long time ago?

[Anthraxus]

Sorry about the delay in response, Taco.  Somehow I missed this post.  I will look into clearing up these backlog competition awards Saturday morning.  I'm not sure why they weren't granted.  It is supposed to be an automatic process for the credit comps, that's their big plus.

[Anthraxus]

I've run into an unrelated issue that has prevented me from clearing this up, but it should happen either today or tomorrow.

[tacovendor]

I only got paid for 1st, yet I paid for a number of entries.  I got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  US$4,50.  I only got credited for first place in my account.

Thanks for your help!

While players can join a single competition multiple times, you only get rewarded for the top place you take in the competition.  Otherwise, it would be possible to turn low-sign up competition into a near infinite money making loop, especially given how many people there are that could play comps for free due to a glut of credits.

[tacovendor]

I know I haven't been around, but then tell me where the rest of the credits went?  This is the first time I have seen this happen, and while I don't mind be the one screwed by it, I sure don't think it is quite fair since I put in the funds.

Where did the rest of the credits go?

You also understand that if I pay for 4 entries out of 6 (four US dollars for me) and the other two people actually show up to play, I could very easily lose 3 of the 4 dollars if they both make more than me during the contest period.  It all washes out - I would be down by a lot if I came across a bad run for myself.

Go ahead please - just drop me the credits.  It's not like I ever will be taking them out of the game or anything.

The site is already taking over 30% for each competition run.  Let me have the credits due to me.

I see your argument.  Please note that we are discussing this on the admin side, however I will be on vacation until the 4th, so there may not be any actual action taken until the 5th.

[tacovendor]

The 5th has gone by some time ago and I still see no credits in my account.  If you are going to thrash the players for simply playing the game then say so.

I will again state... I know that E3K notifies each player in a competition that one has started.  They have at least 12 hours to play their moves the in the cheapest game.  I entered and I am just getting poked around for things that were never mentioned or written out in the past.  I completed my game, my opponents did not.  How does this justify you Jason, or any other owner of the site from directly taking my money?

You cannot change the rules after the fact just because you think they may be wrong.  If you think it is not fair then change it after my game, otherwise, drop me my $2 in credits to my account.

I will start linking youtube video's about a kid wanting his $2 if you do not comply.

I think everyone is already tired of hearing about a kid wanting his $2.

Use the above link to snivel to admin without involving all of us.

[Anthraxus]

Tacovendor,

You have been granted your $2.  My apologies for the delay.

[wd700]

What about me?I didn't receive the $2 credit I won in a competition last year.It's this one:

I should've said something after waiting a month,but i forgot all about it.

[tacovendor]

Ben,

I didn't think you were still about, but me being the kid asking for $2 was my next message.  I received what was due to me and I didn't have to put an image of the newspaper kid on his bike here.

I didn't think anyone else would catch the reference.

[wd700]

Where's everybody??

[Anthraxus]

We are digging back through the logs to verify that the payouts on that competition were not processed, so we can give everyone their payout as necessary.
