My twitter name is NonstopRox, I received a message I had a winning entry for Challenge # 5. Should I have received my points by now?



Thanks

[Snoteye]

They've only given out points twice yet. Wait ~24 hours.

[MAFIAxMaverick]

So, I sent the email to the address that the @biofeed direct message told me to, and I also replied to the @biofeed direct message. Both of these occurred yesterday, and I have still not received the credits. Just lemme know what I need to do. Thanks much.

how long is the turnover from sending the emails in response to the direct messages and getting the points listed here on the social website?

[rumination888]

I also haven't recieved tokens for winning challenges. Is there anyone who won so far that actually got credited?

By that same general principle, you spend 20 minutes 4 times a day trying to come up with a marginally-witty comment that may slightly increase your chances of winning some cool but ultimately disposable luxury goods in an online contest, only to have your hopes cruelly dashed.

Feel a tiny little bit of my pain, mofo.

  Look buddy, spare me your BS, I didn't insult you or call you a very inappropriate name as you did me.  I'm making a valid complaint about this challenge, your not even adding anything to this topic, just pissing and moaning about your own life problems.  Your just spamming the topic saying "Life sucks, so shut up".   

  I'm not complaining for myself, I don't care whether I win or not, but I do care about this community, and I want to see loyal people from it win at the very least a decent amount of the prizes, and so far, because of some very poor rule writing and following, very few forum regulars seem to be having much luck. 

  Instead people that know nothing of Bioware or it's games are coming around because they saw an article on IGN or someplace and swooping in just to win gear, and when they cheat thier way to a high URL count and luck into winning enough challenges no matter how poorly written they are, they will leave this community and never come back.  

  I'm sorry you can't find work, but it's called the real world.  No employer or employment site ever says "All resumes are created equal and shall all be viewed and judged equally"  They can do what they want how they want to do it within the law, and they never claimed they would do otherwise.  I can't change that, and frankly it's not my concern.  I don't know that your a good employee or that you can properly do a job, I don't care, it's none of my business. 

  I do however have a small chance of keeping some people from getting screwed over in this contest if someone listens to my complaints and others, and is willing to work towards a solution.  That's my goal here. 

  The rules state as follows:

   Challenge Submission Judging. At or about 3 hours after the Challenge has ended, Sponsor or its designee, the Challenge Judges, whose decisions are final and binding on all matters relating to the Challenges,

will independently evaluate and judge ALL eligible Submissions received on a per-Challenge basis

and select in its sole and absolute discretion up to 100 Submissions that shall win the prize of 500 tokens. The Challenge Submission Judging shall be based upon the following criteria in the Judges' sole and absolute discretion: 60% creativity, 20% appropriateness to topic, 20% skill and quality of the submission (i.e. grammar and writing skills). The Judges' decisions for any particular Challenge are final and binding. PLEASE NOTE THAT, WHILE YOU MAY SUBMIT MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS NO MORE THAN ONE OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS WILL BE SELECTED AS A WINNER IN ANY CHALLENGE.

   That combined with the submission rules specifically says If anyone has a submission that isn't found to be fraudulent or  inappropriate, and it's recieved within the time limit, that it WILL be judged, by the criteria.  Not that it may be, or could be.  

   If you can't follow your own rules for a contest, then what the hell good is running it?

   If you wanted it to be random draws, then fine, just say we will randomly pick tweets and don't bother answering the question because there is no judging.   But don't tell everyone your going to be equally judged and have a fair shot, then not even follow your own rules. 

  And if you changed the rules, then damnit atleast post those changes in the official rules and tell us why you changed them.  This is just wrong and the only thing it does is further hurt the actual community members from having a proper chance at winning these challenges.

Just wanted to say that I had noticed the same thing.  The rules state that they "will independently evaluate and judge all eligible Submissions", but then a post from BioWare said that they judge a sampling of submissions.  I think BioWare will judge how they want to, but there's certainly a discrepancy and rules should be accurate, otherwise they're just lip service.

Sorry for my newbie question, but I am supposed to click Reply on Twitter to response my answer? Or how can I post my response??

[Draugr]

my twitter account is 'ewgrosslol' and I won challenge #7. I sent the releveant information to the provided address, but I have yet to receive credit. I figured Id post here since that seemed like the thing to do.

[Dougy Phresh]

I won challenge 6

My twitter account is Dougyphresh77

This is my BSN account

I also sent my email last night but I haven't seen the points. I dont want to sound like a nag, especially if the only reason I haven't got my points is just cause you haven't got to mine yet. I understand that you guys have alot of things to do, I just want to make sure its not my fault.

edit: I got my points it looks like i just need to have more patience.

@yoda, you can click reply to the biofeed tweet, or you can just type in @biofeed in your tweet box and follow that with your response.



Make sure that you are following biofeed or they can't send you a direct message to tell you that you won a challenge.

Yes, click the Tweet button, remember you have to be under 140 characters and need @biofeed #BioWareBazaar in the message line as well as the game hash.

[Jesse Reid]

The turnaround is a little higher then we would like right now because we are hitting Twitter's restrictions on how many messages we can send. We are looking into it and hope to have a solution soon.



We've just finished sending out the Twitter messages for challenge #8. Tokens for the winners of challenges #5-6 have been granted as well as some for challenge #7. Remember you have to be following @biofeed in order for us to be able to send you a message.



If you've just recently sent us an email with your Social account information we'll get you your tokens later this afternoon. Thanks for your patience.

[Gamman]

I have a question.



Sometimes when I look at the auction page on the Social site, a challenge appears to have been posted. But when I go to the Twitter of biofeed (which I'm following), I don't see that particular challenge until about a few minutes to an hour later. I refresh the page and I still don't see the challenge, even though the Social auction page says it's the current challenge. There seems to be a delay of sorts.



My question is, do we send out replies to the challenge only when it appears on Twitter? Or can we send them as soon as the Social auction page says what the current challenge is?

[Jesse Reid]

The Social page is the "official" page and it has the counter on when the challenge submission period ends. The Twitter feed is updated as soon as we can.

[Gamman]

Ah, thank you for the answer.

Q.4T.  
@ShepardOsiris : I believe that you might want to look in a mirror and really ask where the anger is coming from;  'cause, saying its 'for the community' is ß$ 2.  I understand your very valid points and I am sure even BioWare even agrees with your points;  4 whatever, and how-ever-many, reasons they had to make a change from the rules they planned and wrote on the social page.  ß*τ╫ about it now will only really negatively effect the ones doing the whining.

Challenge #9 winners should be notified now. Working on Challenge #10.

[Jax Sparrow]

For anyone who wants to see my twitter contest entries.

[Jesse Reid]

Notifications for Challenge #10 have now been sent.

[Kyogissun]

But challenge 10 is still going on, right? Just popped in and noticed it.

[Jesse Reid]

Nope we are on 11 now:

Shepard. Blasto. Who should become a Spectre next and why? Include #MassEffect in your response.

[Kyogissun]

Blegh, I can never remember which one I enter for, I had to look up number 5 yesterday to see which one I won for XD
