Wacky Backpack Building Competetion! WIN PRIZES!
Dread:
Well, I guess I could add something more to it, but my camera died so it might be a while.
MrCookie:
Can we upgrade our entries? If we do, will it count?
MrCookie:
This is General Nick posting again. Hai.
Dear Tcxxx572,
Although I respect your power as the judge of the contest, you did not provide the same information at the time of my entry. Due to this, it is impossible that I would've known that you only wanted 6 pictures and limited 3 entries (Even though I only had one). Also, if you look at the final picture, you will see my signature along with the backpack in the background. If you need a clearer picture of the backpack with my signature, the link is at the bottom.
Therefore, my entry should still stand within the competition, and be given a more fair rating.
The only rules that existed at the time of building the backpack (Thursday August 28, 2009, 11:50 PM), were these (And I quote):
" You can only have lego parts and rubber bands on it, you may not have anything else. All packs must allow the minifigures to stad freely (or atleast on a plate) with no support. You must post a decent picture to be entered into the contest. Tcxxx572 may judge as he sees fit."
Although it says you have the right to judge as you see fit, it would make more sense to let me (And everyone else) know of the new rules BEFORE they enter.
So, in my point of view, you are clearly at fault, even given that you are the judge of the contest, you still did not put those rules on the thread topic.
Therefore, in this case, its your fault for my entry being given such an unholy score.
I demand that you rejudge with the original contest rules, and no such other rules only, as you have with the other contestants.
Here's further proof that this IS indeed mine:
Picture 1
Picture 2, showing the original proof signature.
Proof that I'm posting this.
Again, General Nick posted this.

It is not my job to look at thousands of pictures. You should have the common sense to relise that I don't look at every single picture when you post hundreds. And it clearly says that I may judge as I see fit. That means I can make up rules and stuff. I don't care if you think it is unfair, you are not being forced to enter this contest, and I didn't ever say that this would be fair. I don't have to give you anything, yet I choose to because I want to see what the blockland community can really build. I do follow the rules to, and I'm judging as I see fit. Please do us all a favor, and read.
