If you don't know what this "Marcin meme" is all about, you have to check this thread. You're freaking hilarious guys and gals! And Vagabond, Joe D, Daedolon, and everyone else who got this going - you rule!

So we came up with an idea for a contest. The rules are simple and the prize is sweet as always - make your own "Marcin meme" and post it [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/marcin_meme_contest/page1]in the comments section (let's keep them in a good taste, please). We'll choose 5 funniest and the most creative ones and reward their authors with a free game code. And who knows, maybe someday we'll make a goodie out of it... :). You have time until Thursday, September 30 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Gammix: Hey, how do they let us know who the winners are? I haven't done one of their contests before.

Lou: They shut down the site for four days while they redisign the Home Page with the Pictures of the winning members and a direct link for a free game.
100% legitimate LOL-ed.

so what about this contest? :P
Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?
Get the results out already.
It seems that, between the re-opening contests and this weeks contests, GOG may have bitten off more than they can chew. It doesn't usually take them more than 24 hours to announce a winner to any given contest. Perhaps they haven't organized the staff's voting on the memes?

If it were me, I'd probably print out all the entries and then let the judges start going through them. Some entries are multi-framed GIF's and such. Those should have each frame printed out and be stapled together in order (so you can flip through them).

1) Have each judge mark an entry "up" or "down" vote.
2) Toss out the bottom ten percent of entries with the most "down" votes.
3) Repeat the above process until only the "finalists" are left.
4) Have each judge vote for his or her "top 3," with three points to their first pick, two to their runner-up, and one point to their "honorable mention."
5) Top entry is the one with the most points after Step #4, runner-up is second place, and honorable mention is the third-place entry.

Depending on how easy it is for the judges to view the entries, the above process shouldn't take very long to complete.

And even without that well-suggested process, is it really so difficult? Could we at least get an update?

"Oh hey guys, sorry about the wait. We've gotten up to page 8 now!"
Perhaps the voting system just left beta? ;P

Or perhaps it's that nasty Civ V bug spreading, and the staff is on "sick leave" "recuperating". ;)

Take Your time, be sure You see who was first with each idea, be sure everyone gets it, and then nuke us with the results. ;)

You might want to edit the spam links out of your post.

As for the winners, they'll be announced in this thread in due course. Which is to say probably a week or two from now.

I was quoting and making fun of the guy who posted right before me. I thought his spam was amusing. =P

You can edit what you're quoting to not include the links though. It would probably be better if GOG made it so that links were removed from quotes by default. But there you go.
