[appleeaters]WTF?! Allready a winner?

There are 16 prizes. Zack will first pick a prize, then the winner will be able to choose 4 prizes.


With all deserved respect to Zack and Matt, what have you thinking when giving the creator of this contest allready the first prize?

This is really unfair towards real competors and I highly doubt the sponsors would like to see this.

Of course Zack is hard working for this great contest but then he shall pick his "prize" now now with the participants!

[appleeaters]RE: WTF?! Allready a winner?

Zack gets one prize, first place gets four, and second gets three. I think that given the time he's invested, it's somewhat fair.

Sure, I'd prefer that first gets the best prizes, but nothing in life is free, and if Zack has devoted many hours to give us a chance to win prizes, I'm okay with that. Would you rather have no contests because nobody wants to spend the time putting one together?

Personally, though, I'd rather his prize had been removed from the list in the beginning and none of us had known it existed in the first place.

I totally agree with you.
1 prize actually means about half the prizes the first picks.. because of the "big prize limit". And I think this is making the first place way less attractive!

you are probably one of those that say things like "prizes are too small".

if you don't like it, don't play it..

nobody is forcing you..
