Another bug, the contest answer from today said it was Rhianna ingame, although on the site game lore section it mentions Rhiana. I have been verified though that the name "has been taken into account"...
As for feb 16ths contest , it was indeed about loria, but faaar too easy. It was more a test of chance/ response time speed than anything else. I heard someone in my guild who gave the answer after 2 seconds didnt make it on the list....

I thought the contests closed after enough correct answers had been given...

Do you seriously think it would take 60 seconds for 12 people on the whole server to give the right answer to that question? Not sure how long it lasted but there is probably a minimum time limit.

Seems like the result posted as 16th Feb was actually for 13th Feb (which is missing), so theres still hope

I answered this correctly, well before the contest was over, but dont appear on winner list. Is this info for 16th Feb correct ?
If you look at Alyssah's "question to lawrence" thread, he (lawrence) explains that the text is wrong, (As is the date apparently) but the winners listed are still winners (which is good because I'm in the list
)
Also, the answer given to the contest for 9th Feb is wrong in the EN section (and also appeared wrongly at the end of this contest). Instead of the correct answer "Goari" it lists shadow/Grove of Umbra as the answer, which was from the 6th Feb contest.
Thats because they screwed it up at the time
They *actually* broadcast what is shown on the website, but yes, Gaori is the answer and I missed out on winning for that typo I just made again

I have heard that somewhere ont he german/french boards it explains that it waits for 16 correct answers or something... in case the first ones are unavailable or ineligable I guess

Get them to contact support, too many people are cheated by this bug.

Again, the winners displayed are correct. Only dates may be wrong. They will be corrected on Monday.
This suggests to me that these are indeed the winners for the contest on 13th, but i suppose we will find out on Monday (tho it doesnt say
which Monday...
)
Clear as mud as usual from Nevrax

The contest on Feb 18th ("Rhiana") stayed open for quite some time - like 15 minutes or something. I guess their typo ("Rhianna") caused the contest software to wait for more "Rhianna"-answers then players would like to give em - so finally hitting max timeout.
I managed to answer "rhiana" in like 6..8 seconds time - anyone faster than this?
