That's my Opinion, anyway we talk about a Event wich was worth some kind of Money and i took it seriously ..... They announced a Event with clear Rules and the result has not matched with the Rules.
All the winners deserve it therefore I congratulated them in the Event Thread. But it had nothing to do with the task.
I spend many time to create the perfect Screen of my Fortress which was meant for the event and when i checked the winner i couldn't see the winning Screenshots (to compare it with my own) nor the reason why they won the event, just a link to their Thread.
One of the winners did not even tried to make some Screens without the UI, it was simply decided to sympathy and not for performance. The Delay to announce the winners just says everthing.
Hope you take the next Events more serious altough i won't participate on it.
something I can not take seriously, sorry.

Jesus H. Christ on a Crutch, Meg. You're making me wish I hadn't already redeemed my prize code so I could give it to you and shut you up.
The reward wasn't money, okay? It was Magicka. Which can be a fun little game if you have one or more person to play it with, but can be dull, tedious, frustrating and hair-pullingly difficult if you haven't. Ultimately, it's just another game, another time waster. It's not like they sailed up to my house in a Dwarven longboat and showered me in gold coins or something. For one thing, I would have had to claim it as income and pay tax on it if they had, which I don't, since they didn't.
It was just a quick little forum competition to drum up some interest in a sweet, but sadly not-very-largely-known, video game.
@BjornB: I hope that whatever you do in the future, you take more large narratives! I really had fun 'walking' the free look mode through my fortress and snapping screenshots everywhere. I'm already planning to do it again, too, so... Gonna show off the bedroom set, hopefully.

that's not the Point, if you had trouble to understand my english i'm sorry.
And the reward wans't just "Magicka" it was a full Collection of Magicka with all dlc's wich is worth more than 34 euro and that's a nice amount of Money/Value to trade for other Games.

At present exchange rates, that's just under $45.
Is that a lot of money? No. It may be some money, but it's certainly not an amount worth getting upset about just because you didn't win a competition.
And don't try to bullshit us by saying you're upset the "rules" weren't followed. They didn't actually post any rules besides "We're looking for the best screenshot." So they decided to list the winners by fort instead of the specific screenshot - who gives a toss?! This is nothing but sour grapes on your part because you're pissed you didn't win.
Megge, you are the reason why companies don't do cool contests like this anymore, and when they do, they get the legal department to draft up a huge terms & conditions contract that would take up five pages of 10-point single-spaced paper and other bullshit like that. That is bad, and you should feel bad for being That Guy.

How about something along the lines of
"I'm sorry, I've been acting selfishly and jealously. I was upset that I didn't win the contest, but I had as fair a shake as anyone else, so it's wrong of me to spoil the good nature of this forum by lashing out with baseless accusations and bitter, snide comments, especially in threads which don't need any comment whatsoever."
Seriously, you're acting like a jerk, and if this forum had a "report post" button, I'd be using it for that.
This. Thanks a lot Meggie. I love being a part of something and working my tail off for several days only to be shat on.
ShadowDragon, everyone has their own opinion and that's good. I knew i'm not going to make new friends with my statement but I'm in the habit of saying what I think.
Now that I'm playing Magicka here and there, I'm honestly really glad that the people that won weren't just planning to trade it off for some kind of profit.
It's a bit difficult on single player, but I'm really loving all the jokes and modern references in it. I never would have thought all that was in there.
And no, Meggie, It's not "good that everyone has their own opinion" if all their "opinion" is is to be a jerk to others. Every winner posted at least one screenshot so it did have everything to do with the task. I'm sorry if you wanted reasons behind the winners but if you looked, it wasn't stated that there would be reasons stated for the screenshots they chose.

i'm sorry about this too
There is no reason to start a Event without instructions and rules, specialy if it was not properly rated. If i prefer gambling i go to the Casino and don't participate at an Event to compare with the best.
E: And btw , where is the mighty Screenshot of all the 3 Guys that won
? ah yeah there isn't one
And Taiho and Shadow i'm glad you both like the word jerk and enjoy to repeat it all over, it's for sure easier to call somone a jerk instead to argue

Oh, for crying out loud, Megge.
Man the hell up and get over it.
(Or if you're female, woman the hell up and get over it.)
You entered a little contest*, you lost. Big deal, boo hoo, you don't get free Magicka. Stop being a whining little brat, stop spoiling the nice atmopshere on these forums, or at least have the decency to go away and whine about it to the Goons or something. Go find somewhere people care and will agree with your crying because the contest didn't go your way and will demonize the big bad forum mods and game developers for choosing someone else instead of you and lionize you for your heroic attempts to stick to your guns of "I only wanted it to be fair abloo bloo bloo!" in the face of failure.
Or, to put it even less politely,
If you're going to go out of your way to not get along like this, we don't need you here!
*A contest which cost you nothing but a few hours of your time, if that, and nothing in the way of resources, given that you'd already bought AGoD.

Even though I did not understand half the things you talking there because my English isn't the best but i suppose you are just up to flame or something like that.
I think we've told each other everything and it looks like you have no desire to talk about the things I have criticized.
And i don't think you are a Yerk because i have no clue who you are. ( and i'm glad about this lol)
Live with this statement of me,contributes something or keep insult me, do whatever u want.
Just funny how some Guys react if somone says the trueth.
E: I take that back

You know what? Fine.
Paradox: I'd like to retroactively withdraw from the contest. I'd like you to ask Steam to bill me for the whole Magicka pack I unlocked - I'll pay for it all, even though I already owned Magicka and quite a few of the DLCs, though not all of them, - and you can award the contest win to Megge, if it'll just shut him the hell up.
I don't have a job, and no way to easily replace the $44 bucks, but you know what? It will be worth it to shut Megge's nonsense up.

Actually, unlike many forums, the Paradox forums have an ignore feature.
You do not need to listen to people who only increase your blood pressure. =P
And unlike many forum, this one apparently doesn’t have Mods that know that they need to step in and put an end to this childish, off topic, borderline hateful chatter.
Borderline being the keyword here.
This is generally a peaceful place and that doesn't just happen. Moderators always have something to do with it. =P
Moderators can't fix feelings of entitlement, though.
The ignore feature here (never used it before) works extremely well. It hides the entire post, not just the content. Unless you like the argument, there is no reason why you shouldn't remove a certain person from your sight... and live happily ever after.

Moderator note: I'm closing this thread for the time being so that an administrator can look into it and make a final decision. I feel this discussion has run its course and there is little that can be gained from a continuation. Both sides have stated their feelings on the matter.
I have issued a few infractions here, please make sure you do not direct personal insults at each other.
If you object to a post by someone then PM a Moderator of the forum about it.
As for the contest issue, It is over now, further discussion is prohibited as trolling.
As such this thread can remain closed.
