As many of you who frequent the site probably knew, RF Generation has had a contest going on since our 4th birthday, which happened to be April 28 for those who don't know. It was supposed to end on June 8, but was extended for two weeks because of the massive amount of downtime that we experienced. Now that the contest is over, it's time to recognize the winners, so that they can claim their just desserts.
In case we all forget, these were the prizes up for grabs:
FIRST PLACE: Gaming swag not to exceed $100 and also a groovy RF Generation ringer T.
SECOND PLACE: Gaming swag not to exceed $25 and also a groovy RF Generation ringer T.
THIRD PLACE: A groovy RF Generation ringer T
So, who won? Well, lets let that known, shall we?
Third Place: Vokyous (6001pts)
Second Place: VACRMH (8358pts)
First Place: Rajaat the Warbringer (17088pts)
Congrats to all those who won! If you won you should probably PM Me with a)What You Want, b)Where I am to Ship it to, and c)What Size Shirt do you wear. In case you are wondering where you were on the standings, the contest results can be found here.
This contest was fun, and much less subjective than previous birthday contests of old. Even if you didn't win something, we certainly appreciate your submissions, as without your submissions we just don't grow. Secondly, I'd like to thank those staff members who really stepped it up to approve your submissions. Of all the people approving your submissions during the contest, Fuyukaze took the cake with approvals. I am certainly appreciative for that, as well as all those amazing staff members who helped out.
From all of us at RF Generation, Congratulations!
This year, we turn 4, and well, being four means that we’re still in our toddler years, and as a toddler one may say that we can be quite the terror. You love us, right? You want free stuff, right? Good, because once a year we like giving crap away. Good deal, isn’t it? I think so. So, what is it that you need to do? Here’s the rules of the contest:
Submissions, they make the site go round. We just don’t grow if we do not have anyone submit stuff. Funny how that works, and well, we do have one heck of a community that loves to do submissions. Perhaps, with this contest, you’ll be interested in doing submissions as well. Submissions will garner you points, and these how are they are ranked:
Title Addition: 4 Points
Variation Addition: 4 Points
Page Edit*: 2 Points
Review*: 10 Points
Overview*: 6 Points
Image Upload: 10 Points
Submission Review**: 1 Point
Blog Post*: 10 Points
Blog Comment: 1 Point
Forum Post: 1 Point
Forum Karma: See Explanation
*Regarding the asterisk: For page edits, it is noticed that you are consistently only adding one field per edit multiple times for a single ID just to up your points, you will be disqualified. Any review or overview completed will count as a page edit as well the points for an overview or review. To get the points for an overview or review you MUST contact me via Personal Message so that I can keep a tally. A review or overview of poor quality could result in less points than stated being granted. The same statement holds true for blog posts.
Because we want the forum to be a lively place of fun and interesting posts, we’re enabling Karma during this contest. Karma rewards members that make good posts and smites those who do not. Your Karma will play a wildcard role in posts. Positive Karma at the end of the contest will increase your point total by a factor, while negative karma will decrease it. The equation used to decide how karma affects your points will be announced at a later date before the end of the contest.
As with any contest, there is fine print. Any submission that you make must adhere to the RF Generation guidelines / policies. We wrote these policies and guidelines for a reason, and well, we’d like everyone to adhere to them. Failure to adhere to the guidelines could result in a disqualification.
Any point reduction or disqualification can be contested. In the event that you wish to contest, you must explain why the reduction or disqualification is unfair. If you win the contest, we’ll restore your greatness, but if you lose, you shall be pelted with figurative rocks and garbage.
**KICKER! Normally, staff members could not be involved in these contests. That is no longer the case! Everyone, except for the directors of this site, is in this contest. There is a catch though for staff members… their final score will be halved. So, that should lead to a lively competition. I think halving their scores is fair, and I hope you do as well. Oh yeah, there is that 1 point for a submission review, that unfortunately only applies to staff members because they are the poor souls who must review your submissions.
What do you win? Well, we’re a poor bunch here at RF Generation, especially after the server move. That said, there are prizes for the first, second, and third place winners!
FIRST PLACE: Gaming swag not to exceed $100 and also a groovy RF Generation ringer T.
SECOND PLACE: Gaming swag not to exceed $25 and also a groovy RF Generation ringer T.
THIRD PLACE: A groovy RF Generation ringer T
Also, anyone in the top 5% of points gainers shall get some sort of recognition, to be determined later.
So when does this contest start? TODAY, APRIL 28, 2008. When does this contest end? SUNDAY, JUNE 8, 2008 AT MIDNIGHT (late Saturday night). So have your cake and eat it too! Happy submitting!
