I won, I was notified. I don't know for which question/s except as I'm pretty sure it wasn't the last one of the day, too little time passed.

  Did it work as advertised then?  Direct message from Biofeed on your Twitter account and then you respond with your social site details?  Or other?   And do you have the tokens from it yet?

[Maugrim]

Yes a direct message asking for our details with the option to respond via twitter or an email. I just check and the point were there, so they must have just been added in the last hour or less.

I'm curious about this too. Hopefully, a list of winners will be posted or at least a message displayed somewhere indicating the winners of Contest #x were messaged.

i'd also like to see the winning entries.  see what they're looking for.

I've got my cell ready to notify me if twitter does anything but so far I've answered all six challenges and nothing. And I max out my character limit with each response trying to be "clever" so hopefully it will start paying off.

  Alright, well, good job and thanks for the info.   I'd understand if you don't want to give away your secrets, but if you don't mind, what was your tweet?   I'm just trying to figure out what the hell the judges are looking for. I'm not trying to insult anyone, but most of the tweets I saw were poorly written crap.  Most people wrote something like this:

   @biofeed #BioWareBazaar #MassEffect I am LIKE gReg as character 

 Several other people I know on the boards that did not win were well written and creative.  My own were not the random drivel that most tweets I saw were either.  It just leaves me wondering what got the job done.   

[Sherana]

Yeah... I thought my ME2 one was pretty damn good... I mean, the others were nothing special, but I was fairly confident there.

http://twitter.com/Maugrimm is my twitter you can see exactly what I tweeted. I don't know which I won for... I was the first tweet on at least one question getting it out after the website change but before they even tweeted the question., possibly more.  Heck my twitter pic is from my names sake, Cmdr Makenzie Shepard...maybe that was a factor ...lol

Agreed Sherana, I even came up with a few word play sequences and worked in an inside joke or two into some of my answers, but nothing. How creative can you get in 140 characters?



I tried explaining on a couple answers, I tried humor, I tried a lot of things. I don't know what they want, and if keeps up like that the next day or two, I don't think I'll keep finding the time to answer them.

I personally liked my tweet for our favorite Jade Empire character... I chose Sky and since he was a theif I made a pun about how he stole my heart... it was cute, but who knows.

  Thanks much.  I don't get it, your responses are fine, not trying to be a jerk, but they aren't anything special, just a basic response with a little explanation, which is fine, not knocking it.   But creativity and all that is supposed to be a factor, in fact it is listed as the tie breaking criteria.   Some of tweets I've seen from friends really layed it on the line nicely, and I just don't understand how a more basic tweet like that get's chosen. 

  My one thought, is that maybe you were the first on one of them, and they are giving the very first response a win.  I don't know. 

   This only further mucks up my thoughts on this.

I took a peak at your tweets.  I'd have to say your Jade Empire tweet was rather nice.  I made a clever one concerning Kang the Mad's explosive bananas, but no good I guess.

[Crixt]

I've entered 3/5 and have won 1.

Seems like I'll need to win a lot more to keep up with the people getting 500 link clicks a day ><

I gotta say that I agree... I have no idea what they are looking for now.

Care to take a look at mine and see what you think?

  I agree it's a nice line, but again, looking at the rules, it's got some problems. Granted we don't know what they won for this tweet. But to use it as a possible winning example it doesn't mesh with the rules well.  According to them, a large portion of  the judging criteria is supposed to be grammar and spelling and such.  However here makenzieshepard use abreviations and slang like Fav and char and have every marker code under the sun all crammed together at the end of the tweet, when the rules suggest we should only be using the related one, like #MassEffect if it's a Mass Effect question.   

  I'm not trying to pick on makenzieshepard, I'm glad you won one, and your one of the extreme few here who have.  I'm glad to see a regular forum member pick up a win. I'm just trying to make sense of how this judging is going down, because what the rules say and what they seem to be giving wins for are entirely 2 different things.  

[r2d2arm]

^ True, all of the marker codes, even the unrelated ones, are on that one. Perhaps, being one of the first few on the first challenge helped him out. I'll be submitting mine today and see if I get any hits. If I don't, seriously considering not wasting my time with this Really hard to win an auction if you don't get tokens from the challenges.

  I like them, I think they are frankly more creative and only minimal spelling errors and a nice more creative use of some of the tags.  Again, not trying to knock anything makenzieshepard did, but yours, combined with my understanding of the rules, are better.

   I don't know, I just don't know, it seems like instead of following these elaborate guidelines they put out to follow, they are just randomly picking tweets.   

[darkshadow136]

none the whole thing is stupid using twitter for this stuff

[Seanylegit]

I tweeted to all of the tweets so far, but no response. :[

[MagicalSarai]

Completely off topic... I want that hair style on my DA character darkshadow... is that PC mod only?

[jeffreykm]

I've answered three, but no wins so far. I think it is random, rather than the first 100 to answer. Otherwise why wait the full hour?

[MagicalSarai]

Random would be completely pointless... might as well just throw up the tags and nothing else.

[r2d2arm]

Sarai, your tweets are rather clean and more creative from what I've seen. I attempt to add something on top of the requested challenge answer either to make it funny or insightful.

Yes it is a PC mod only called Don't worry be Hairy. Hair textures were done by REN who did a lot of Oblivion mods. Here is the link
