Gingerbread House Competition Winners

[terri.m]

I'm still hoping they will see the error of their ways and give all participants what they deserve.

I'm not holding my breath though.

Congrats to all the winners! I was surprised that several I thought would have won didn't, but am glad they still picked some awesome rooms.

VMK is kind of lucky I'm on the recovering end of the flu, so I'm reacting to all this with like half a brain. Some of it is upsetting but I'm too tired to care.

Oh and did anyone else they changed the Title on the competition from Gingerbread Room Contest to Gingerbread Room and Holiday Room.

I think that's the part that upsets me the most. I would have come up with something different had I known the Gingerbread HOUSE was optional. Seriously, I saw a lot of rooms which were great, but where was the house? It's kind of like the ride competitions where there's a great room and 4 pieces of track. I think that takes away from the challenge and competition and creativity if the main focus is disregarded.

Which is very sad since hosts are the closest representation of us to the big guys who (seem) to make most decisions in the game. Yet if they don't listen to their own staff that are with us the most, it shows you how little they care about our opinions.

I remember talking to Fin about this on 2 other occassions. And it's sad that the Hosts have no say in what goes on in their events, whether it's their game rooms, competition judging or whatnot.

What I think is really sad about them not listening to the hosts is because contact us is no help at all everybody is going to be taking their anger out on Lily, Phinny, and Hula and they agree with us but that doesn't matter so they are going to get everybody's negative comments when its in no way their fault. That really isn't fair for them.

Personally I didn't spend any money on the competition. I had a house and when the competition opened I entered what I had already done. I wasn't expecting to win or get anything more than a flag as most of you stated you were "only expecting" also (I love my flag). When I signed up to register it only said I need to have some gingerbread in the room, so I didn't feel mislead at all. Maybe it was better I was in the dark about the contest to begin with.

This tread was supposed to be for the winners and part of that is my fault for piping in about prizes. Now that it's off topic I'll close it.

So, this "lets be angry" post needs to move somewhere else. Please feel free to re-start it elsewhere.

Before I close this thread I'd like to end it by Congratulating our fellow INTERCOT members, friends and winners..

Avalanchefan, See.low and Mamcita!! Your rooms rocked!
