Congratulations to all the winners. I can't wait to see who wins tomorrow.

Yeah, easy for you to say, Mr Silver Award winner. Go play your free GOG games now. :P

True but most winners wrote poems. I didn't write a poem.

lol true and i wrote a one liner ...nevermind gamerrager won thats shocking :D

$@$#^@#^@#^ and more reserved censored words... have fun playing the game and congrats ...

If I only knew I was competing against the world's most talended individuals...

:D nice

Original War is a good game. I don't know if SWAT 1/ and 2 are good because I never played them.

Skystrider said something about splitting White Wolf in more TW2 prizes - as in "more winners", which is a great decision for those interested in this game - White Wolf attracts more outsiders, some talented i presume, but more interested in amazon price than TW2, probably don't even like this game.

Just a conclusion. :)

We would like some input from the community on this subject; if, in theory, we were to reduce and/or split the White Wolf reward, in order to make more gold/silver winners, would people feel swindled or lied to?

even if I think, that my entry has no chance at all *gg*
When I have more than 1 price, I usualy try to make as many people as happy as I can.

Because of that I vote: SPLIT

I think about the same. The 150$ Amazon gift certificate could be used to give more GOG and Witcher 2 related prizes.

Loving the competition so far! Regarding your dilemma, I think it is best to leave the decision up to you and the jury. The reason is, people who haven't invested in a lot of time for their entries will obviously vote for more bronze/silver/gold awards while people of the opposite spectrum will vote for leaving the proposed White Wolf award alone. Neither is fair, because our opinions are biased. It is up to the 3rd party to judge the value of the winner and act accordingly. Asking the applicants what the reward terms should be is similar to asking the lottery purchasers how the money should be distributed. It would be ok if you were to ask them before they bought the tickets, but asking them afterwards might yield undesirable results. :)

However, if you still have no idea how to go about this and would like the public opinion, I suggest talking with the White Wolf winner to see what his opinions are. It is my guess that he would be content with reducing his award so more of the community can win. After all, who is he to say "no" to the hand of the gifter?

Thanks again! I'm getting really curious who the future winners are!

First of all, grats to the winners so far. Also, it's nice to see people who write here (or can write even if they don't bother too much).

Secondly, I'd say it's a good idea to reduce the reward. While I don't assume I can speak for everyone, I imagine a lot of people have entered the competition to get their hands on The Witcher 2 (i.e., it's the main thing they want) like me. Granted, the GoG games and especially the Amazon gift card is really nice. Next, reducing the White Wolf reward means more people can get The Witcher 2.

So, it'd be the best decision in my view.

Edit: Also, I agree with what KiPhish said. At the end of the day, it should be for you to decide and like Kiphish also mentioned, I must admit to being partly biased with my thoughts. That said though, the unbiased part of me still thinks what I suggested is best.

Anyways, it's up to you at the end of the day and as KiPhish again mentioned, it might be ideal to talk to the White Wolf award winner you have in mind.
