Quick question... what happens after you've already won?

Quick question... what happens after you've already won?

You can keep winning, but if you've already won a graphics card that's the only card you'll be allowed. If you win again you'll receive one of the other prizes.

Other good info folks may want to know (and please correct me if wrong Cerest) is that the answer cannot be given until the final part of the "enigma" has been posted. You cannot ring in early like "Jeopardy"...

If you change your answer, there is a delay before it is enacted (though I saw no way to cancel it and may have missed a chance to win because of that). The last answer you make, is your "final" answer and supercedes your previous answer even if correct (again, not sure and this made me crazy on contest #2). I am not sure if spelling and such is required to be accurate either.

Hopefully some of this info will help others, I made myself crazy on the last contest and probably corrected my spelling and caused myself to miss a real chance at winning.

A bit more info and a screenie showing how I found out some of these contest things you all may want to know about.

Are the winners even going to be announced before the *third* contest starts on Wednesday?

Are the winners even going to be announced before the *third* contest starts on Wednesday?

ditto is there going to be a list posted someplace or do we have to wait until the entire contest is over to find out who won what?

bugger.. all i saw the first night of this was there was technical difficulty, never saw a chat channel, so thought it was off for the night, oh well.

i'll see if this is different on the next one i can make it to, got to love technical difficulties

congrads to all those that have won so far

*pokes cerest*

So? No word then?

I mean, the in game system first says that winners will be announced shortly after the contest, and then the same system says that they'll be announced within a few days, at the end, when the contest is over. Obviously, neither of these are the case, as we're now at Wednesday of the next week after the first contest, and still no word. 5 days is beginning to stretch the term "few."

Yea I asked a gm about it last night and they tolled me it would be posted on the forums but didnt have the date handy. "A Few" usualy means about 3days we are going on a week here pretty soon.

We've run into some issues with the actual announcing of the winners and are still trying to varify the winners as well. We apologize for how long it's taking but we hope to have the winners announced shortly.

Bugs in the system.
Last night, in my guild, we had atleast 2 people who the contest tab didn't show up for, it showed up for me.

Last wednesday, it didn't show up for me (granted, I probably didn't stick around online long enough for it to matter, so that doesn't count), I think there are alot of inconsistancies in the system right now, I know you all are doing your best with what you have been given, but it is apparent that at this time the contest is not 'fair' to all players who are on at the time of the contest.

If you are unable to determine the winners via the programmed automated system with its timers, and are unable to announce the winners within a week of each round, then maybe the system is to unstable to be of use right now and needs to be re-programmed to function properly.

Its just a thought, I don't blame the CS team at all, you guys / gals are doing your best under the circumstances and I applaud you for it.
