I'm really sorry to be the fly in the soup, but I think some things are not right with the mod contest.
it's true that I'm disapointed my mod was not selected, but I have comments to do about the way the contest occurs.
- I never have answers from admins on forums to my questions concerning the contest.
- I never received confirmation about my submission (like everyone, i suppose).
- We had the information that the submission period was prolongated, just before the deadline. Too bad for people that planned things...
- finally, I think the selected mods don't all fit in the criterias (Originality/creativity, Overall graphical or functional quality/polish, Entertainment value). It would be fine if the less scoring mods (< 5%) were removed to give a chance to others.
Please be sure I really enjoy with the Ark game and the community, some people are really nice and helpful, I had good time and learned many things, but things are too hazardous and arbitrary for me...
