I'm sorry, but the way this was handled was just silly.
If it's a contest, the winners should have been the first 5 correct and winning scores, not winning the right to enter another raffle. It should have been first come first serve like the locusts.
Hi Mira,
We always try to be fair when awarding contest prizes. Due to the wide variety of timezones covered by the posters on the EN forum, we feel that "first come, first serve" would not be a good option. Sorry that you feel things were not handled well.

Sorry Mira but I have to disagree with you. There are many players from all over the world on this forum with different time zones. If it were to be first come first serve that wouldn't be very fair to others in different time zones. I don't know your time zone so I'll use mine.....Let's say the contests are first come first serve and were started at 8:00am EST. That would certainly give the players in the EST time zone a 3 hour advantage over players in the PST time zone. Think about others all over the world that may be sleeping while we're awake, it definitely wouldn't be fair for them to miss out just because of the time of day.
IMO, having a draw on the winners is the fairest solution possible. The only complaints I have seen are from people who didn't win, which are very few. You win some, you lose some that's life. I don't see any reason to bring negativity to a fun contest.
