If anyone comes in with a last minute post, wins, and it's their first post here.....I don't think that's cool. Maybe it's just me....
:dunno

I agree this is a friendly competition and I think we should all push each other to get the best score. If some holds a score till the last minute to win, that is not in the spirit of the competition, to me

Hewskie:
I'd like to say that I had no ill intentions when making my post last night. I shouldn't have waited untill the LAST minute to post my score, and am fully willing to retract it. As Ginsu said, it really isn't cool to swoop in at the last minute and claim victory (well... even 2nd place).

That said, I've really enjoyed following along with these high score comps the past few weeks and this was the first time i was even close at all to competing. I would have posted right away, but i had to create my account first and that took about 3 days for the moderator to approve my avatar, then I got distracted and forgot.

I appologize for any disruption I caused and hope to compete fairly next week!

Ginsu Victim:
No disruption. :D I never claimed you had ill intentions. However, had you won a competition I'd set up, I'd have been reluctant to award the prize to someone I don't know (especially when that person has only one post).

We welcome everyone, it's just that we try to stress this is a friendly competition amongst our members and if we have new members swooping in and winning the contests, it might discourage others from participating.

Take no offense at my singling you out earlier, as none was intended.  :cheers:

Bender:
Hewskie,

I was just speaking in general
I have no problem with your post. Mine was only an hour earlier and that was my first score post for this competition as well

we have just never discussed this in the forum before, so I was just thinking out loud about what would be best for our evolving little competition


Ummon:
Jeez, that's ---smurfin--- poor spoils. So what if someone holds a score? So what if it's their first post? WAHN.
