The problem with this competition is that the idea is neutered down to what you see on the card.
Q...F...T!
Well, there are two sides to this.
On one hand I agree completely. This competition was only about the IDEA, and everyone knows jmizzle got tons of extra votes because of that very cool picture by Jason.
On the other hand jmizzle spent some time to make the idea look perfect. He used the template, made both non-upgraded and upgraded versions, and inserted a very nice picture. It's called marketing and it works, even if it's not "fair".
All other contestants could have done the same thing but they didn't. I'm sure now everyone knows what the deal is, and when we have the next competition, all ideas will look more like the one jmizzle7 submitted.
Note, the comment quoted was in regards to the request for information and was in no way a challenge to Scaredgirl. The rules had been stated and clarified even if thats not what people expect.
Personally I entered this competition with a view pertaining to my history and experience in game design and ccgs. This is not what the competition was tho. Even if you saw this in a similar light to myself you cannot challenge the competition and its result. It is similar to a Sculpter entering a Modern art competition and the result only being the best contemporary oil painting.
I would suggest that you politlely request Scaredgirl allow the inclusion of more detail from the submission in the next competition (if there is another) so that the idea presented can be evaluated better. Especially if your idea is something that cannot be enhanced by flashy presentation or has a complex directive behind the idea.
If this doesn't change and the same competition boundries continue, you will simply have to fall in and compel your voters with only a card representation of the idea.
PS. Don't Hate the Players or the Hate the game. Save your Hate for the luck and variations that put your skill at a disadvantage.
