I've tried 8 of them and not won a single one. Does anyone know if they just want a straight answer or if they actually want you to write something funny. (for the "I'm Commander Shepard and..." and the Enchantment question)

Count me in among those that join Twitter for Bioware.  I haven't won anything either.  I can't seem to see my own entries. I  know I must be doing something wrong.   












Twitter must hate me.

I wonder if they choose randomly, like a lottery, or just choose the best answer.

I hope it's the latter. I've only been submitting 1 post per challenge due to their ambiguous description of it on their bazaar page, and I'll hate it if I'm losing to those freaks who spam 50+ twitter posts per challenge.

(Though if Bioware clarified the situation and told us it was a lottery system, I'd probably be one of those freaks too. Clarify, Bioware, CLARIFY!)

I've gotten three direct messages, but so far only awarded one prize to my account.

How have you been going about the challenges, Sar? Are you sending a lot of tweets per challenge or only 1?

  It has been clarified, but it's still against the rules.  social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/6/index/1982884

  That link leads you to a topic where a Bioware employee confirms they are taking random samples and judging from there.  

   The rules specifically state that ALL eligable entiries WILL be judged, not that they may be, or could be.  I made my case in that topic, so I would go on any more here. 

   If your posting what you think are brilliant tweets, or your reading others tweets that are excellent but have not won, now you have a good idea why.   
  
   If your as mad about this as I am, and thinks it's unfair like I do, please, for the sake of the community voice some opinion over there or somewhere.  

  I don't even care if I win, I've got a lot of the stuff going up for auction, but I do want real community members to win, not posers that just swoop down and join for 2 weeks to win gear and then leave.  This was supposed to be about we the Bioware community and fans, and it's turning into just some screwed up PR stunt, where some jerk who doesn't even know what Bioware is can win more easily than a Bioware fan.  All they need is a porn site to get a bunch of URL hits and a sloppy mess of a tweet that just randomly got selected ahead of 50 excellently written and passionate tweets from the fans.

I've been sending a few about 5-10 tweets per question, one with a serious answer, a couple with some joke answers, as I am not sure what they are looking for.

[ShepardOsiris]

Ok guys, ultimate insult here, I got an email from a friend, he won challenge 7. I think it was 7 it was the Enchantment? question. I know I really tried to come up with something unique, and I'm sure most of you did, but this pathetic crap is a known winning tweet from this question.



His tweet was: @biofeed Enchantment! #BioWareBazaar #DragonAge



How in the hell is that creative?

[SarEnyaDor]

No one said it had to be creative. It is the proper response to "Enchantment?" afterall.

  Why don't you try reading the rules.  A massive 60% of the total judging criteria is the creativity of the tweet.  And it's the tiebreaking criteria should 2 tweet responses be judged to be identical in all other areas.   

  So your just winning with mindless drivel then?   Well good to know to know these strict rules Bioware created and told us to follow have any real meaning. 

[Sresla]

Entered all, won 0. Then again, I'm only replying with 1 tweet per question so maybe that's impacting it if they're doing some sort of random sample. Who knows.

[SarEnyaDor]

Wow, I'm sorry this contest - meant to be fun - is making you so cranky.



I would suggest you not participate further before it turns you into a grumpy, mean-spirited person.



I happen to think some of my tweets have been hilarious, but I have no idea which of the 60 or so tweets won. And it is up to the judges to decide, also stated in the rules which I DID read, which is why I have been sending more than just one tweet. *sigh*



I don't think I'm coming back to this thread as you are just in a mood to be angry and fight.

Might be best to try a few more entries, though I stil haven't won anything myself.

I had to say something as I finished reading this thread, and the other with the official post;   And I like Sar, and you seriously need to take a few steps back... take five deep relaxing breaths of fresh air... and then envision someone telling that dredge that was written, to your face.  Even on the internet, insulting and demeaning people is wrong, and degrades yourself.

[savagesparrow]

I just won challenge #9, and I think my answer was kinda clever, so I'm posting it here XD



Q. What did Commander Shepard have for breakfast?



A. Don't really know, but whatever it was, it was washed down with a can of whoop-ass! #BioWareBazaar #MassEffect



And I've only been posting one tweet per thing, because I don't want to spam my tweet board or whatever.

[famousmoviestar]

Congrats savagesparrow. I like that one!

[marquiseondore]

 I'm giving up. I think twitter eats my entries. 

[Karol754]

none.

Thanks for the Click

@Famous Thanks!! ^^



See, so there are some that're more than just one-word answers =)

[Jax Sparrow]

Congrats Starke9 and savagesparrow


No, TwitchMonkey, appearances are that the contests stop at around 4PM PST and start at about 8 or 8.5 AM PST I would guess that is about Chris's working hours. Since this is Chris's Contest... I think.

I just realized you have to have Protect Tweets set to OFF in order to appear in the timeline, even if you are Following Biofeed, in order for your tweets to appear where they can be seen and eligible to win.

[Thompaine]

I've won just one, by informing them that I named my DA:O dog Baulder.
