I get that the winners were randomly selected and I’m not trying to argue over losing. The issue is more about expectations. When something is presented as a “Creative Competition,” people naturally believe creativity, originality, and effort will matter in the outcome. A lot of us spent real time making detailed entries because that’s what the branding encouraged. So when winners are later described as randomly selected, it makes the creative side feel meaningless in hindsight. I’m not saying the contest was unfair or rigged — only that the presentation and the selection method feel disconnected, which is why multiple people seem confused or disappointed. Even something simple like: clearly labeling it as a random draw, showing how winners are randomized, or separating “creative picks” from random winners would make the whole process feel much more transparent and rewarding for the community. Because right now, it unintentionally gives the impression that effort matters emotionally, but not practically. @Steve @Edward And honestly, the confusing part is that one of the winning pictures doesn’t even resemble Eddie much at all, which makes people question what the actual criteria was in the first place. And @Jake7589 No disrespect to @damien4220because the shot is cinematic, but if the theme was ‘Eddie in the jungle,’ where exactly is Eddie here? Remove the caption and nobody guesses the character

@Jake7589 Hey Jake, I understand that the winners were technically selected at random and that this may have been mentioned in the post. My point isn’t really about losing or demanding a win — it’s more about the way the event was presented to the community. The competition was branded and visually promoted as a “Creative Competition,” which naturally gives participants the impression that creativity, originality, effort, or quality of submissions would play some role in the outcome. Because of that, many of us invested significant time creating edits, concepts, and detailed submissions believing the competition would be at least partially merit-based. When the winners announcement later stated that winners were simply randomly selected from eligible entries, it changed the perception of the entire event. At that point, creativity and effort effectively had no influence on the outcome, which is why some participants feel disappointed or misled. I completely understand wanting to avoid subjective judging unless explicitly stated upfront, and I respect that. But I think the issue is that the event presentation itself strongly implied a creative evaluation process, even if the technical rules clarified randomness somewhere in the details. I think future events could avoid this confusion by: clearly labeling them as random giveaways/draws from the beginning or having separate categories for “best creative submissions” and “random participation rewards” or briefly explaining upfront how winners are selected in bold/visible text That would help align expectations better and make participants feel their effort is properly valued. I’m saying this respectfully because a lot of people genuinely enjoy participating in these events and put real effort into them. Transparency in how contests are framed goes a long way for community trust.

I want to address something about the recent “Eddie’s Missing” Creative Competition because I think many participants feel the same disappointment. The event was heavily presented as a creative competition — with storytelling, themed submissions, community participation, and encouragement for people to put effort into creating unique entries. Naturally, many of us assumed this meant creativity, originality, effort, and quality would actually influence the outcome. People spent hours: creating edits designing submissions searching for details brainstorming ideas putting genuine effort into participating because the competition was framed in a way that suggested merit-based judging. However, the winners announcement later stated that winners were: “randomly selected players who guessed right.” That completely changes the nature of the competition. A random draw and a creative contest are not the same thing. If winner selection was always intended to be random among correct submissions, then creativity and effort ultimately had no influence on the result. Someone who spent 5 minutes had the same odds as someone who spent 5 hours crafting a thoughtful entry. That’s the disappointing part. This is not about being upset over losing. Losing is part of every competition. The issue is about transparency and expectation. Calling something a “creative competition” creates the expectation that entries will be evaluated creatively. If randomness determines the winners, then the event should be clearly presented as a giveaway, raffle, or random participation draw from the beginning. Many participants invested real time and energy because they believed the quality of their work mattered. A more fair and transparent system could have been: judged winners based on creativity community voting shortlisted best entries separate prizes for random participation But presenting it as a creative competition while selecting winners randomly feels misleading to a lot of participants. I’m posting this respectfully because I genuinely think transparency matters in community events like these. People are far more willing to participate when expectations are clear and effort is actually valued. @Jake7589
