As Anticipated…

Posted in General, Misfortunes by Shawn Knight on May 7, 2007

As I had anticipated, I “lost” the Fuel My Blog photo contest.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not a sore loser. It just irritates me that things were not done fairly. The first mistake with the contest was displaying each persons vote in a comment. This allowed people to make duplicate posts and these were actually counted as legit, which is why I lost.

Oh well, I’m not mad I lost, just that I was cheated…

BTW, feel free to check out the contest page and count the votes for yourself. Keep in mind votes from anonymous users were not counted.

    Sorry you lost dude. I hope they fix that bug for the next contest. Have you filed a complaint? Maybe someone just overlooked that when they set it up.

    I’d be disappointed as well if I had lost only because the results were not counted the way the rules indicated. I still think your picture was the best so I guess you’ll have to be happy with the moral victory. ;)

    I guess I missed all that. It is worth linking over and checking out? Or can you sum on the whole contest in a comment back in about three sentences? Sorry you lost… whatever the contest was I am sure you put your heart into it.
