Do I get any extra credit for the week 3 submission? I got every picture snapped in time before the deadline but did not submit the week 3 album because it was incomplete. It is such a shame to get 28/29 screenshots only to be shut out in the last week not being able to find a Wolf_Rayet star which is almost impossible to find after weeks of dedicated scanning.

Anywho, here is my week 3 submission. Based on the upload dates of each of the 8/9 pictures I did submit them in time before the date of the 31st of July to the Imgur website. I am hoping I can get some sort of credit for the effort for week #3 I put into this event at least.

Yeah, gratz to Marcus Yeon for being the winner and getting his name engraved on a monument in Eve, not to mention the 10 PLEX is a good prize too.

They gave the deadline, your argument is invalid.

Seriously though, why should they break the rules to award you when the rest of us worked hard as hell to get that Wolf-Rayet shot (and it was indeed possible, 6% of wh are Wolf-Rayet so a couple days at most of dedicated searching is all it would've taken). You were probably looking for the wrong signs, or found one and didn't know it, especially if you were doing 'weeks' of dedicated scanning for them (which is impossible).

To all the people who are saying 'oh can you ignore my cloaked ship?', or 'Oh I was late', or 'I don't have all the pics' - I don't think CCP is going to bend the rules for you, otherwise they may as well give everybody who plays all the prizes even if they didn't do the work for it.

Not yet! I'm making a list (and checking it twice) and they will be handed out with the 1.1 release.

Hi CCP Goliath,

It may be a problem that I am planning on transferring this character into my main account whom has also completed the SIC separately. Is this the sort of edge case you've accounted for or should I just plan on submitting a trouble ticket down the line? Sorry that I can't hold off but I'm up against an expiration deadline, unless you can spare a few more PLEX...

Sorry to muddle up a complex process but keep up the good work!

Hmm. We do redemption on a per-account basis, so in this instance you would only get one set of prizes and I would ask you to submit a support ticket to claim the second. This seems like the most straightforward and risk-free way of doing things.

The prize will go to the new account that the character belongs to. If you feel this is in error you will need to submit a support ticket after the prizes have been distributed. That hasn't happened yet FYI.

Folks, I am afraid there will be a slight delay in the prize distribution! Still planned before the end of the week though - apologies for the inconvenience.

Take your time, there's no rush. I'm sure it's a lot of work double checking all those pictures.


Now correct me if I'm wrong.

Total amount of submissions per Tier :

Week 1 = 749
Week 2 = 237
Week 3 = 148

Total amount of submissions = 1124

19 images per submission.

Total amount of images = 21356



Definitely gonna take some time to verify all those images.

EDIT :

Seems I was indeed wrong on a couple of points which is explained below.

That's assuming 19 images were submitted... I might have submitted more than that, but it wasn't expressely against the rules, so my submission for week 1 still valid.

I assumed they would have done all the checking before they announced the grand prize winner or that contest wasn't valid. What they probably have left to do is manually add the entitlements (or whatever they call them there) to each account.

Actually my math formula was incorrect. It should be :

Week = Submissions x Images = Total

Week 1 = 749 x 10 = 7490
Week 2 = 237 x 10 = 2370
Week 3 = 148 x 9 = 1332

Add up the 3 Image totals = 11192 Images

That's still a lot of images to be verified. I saw the error after receiving an Eve mail correcting my mistake :

I think you are wrong.....It should be 11192 images. 749*10+237*10+148*9, no?
Rangh Ovaert, thanks for the correction.

For the Grand Prize Winner, all CCP had to do was just pull one name and verify the images associated with that name. If those images weren't valid, they could easily pull another name. Wouldn't take very long at all to verify the Grand Prize Winner.

Now for all the other images submitted, that's quite a lot to check. Anyway, I think everyone who submitted images should get a prize.

The number of entries we got in the grand prize contest was directly related to valid image sets. If they just tossed everyone in without verifying the validity of the entries, those of us who did all three sets had our chances of winning lowered. I trust they would not have done this and would have put the entries in (10/25/50) based on successfully completing each set.

I have been fortunate enough to have been able to look behind the scenes at several MMO companies enough times to know they are probably just swamped with the manual process of adding the items to each account.

Yes, Friday's DT is over and there is still nothing (and scanning's not fixed yet). I suppose that we need to wait until the next week.
