đź“© Poll: Should realm41 and realm94 ousted from the April Fools competition?

General Discussion
1

I am making this poll because I want to know about the democratic opinion of the people here:

realm94 (Rosy & Aleks) and realm41 (Raslan & Ballerina) are offline and decided to nevertheless participate in the competition.
They made a lot of efforts to do videos and photos which totally match the topic of the contest.

AFTER the contest closed for the apartment to get in to the final they got ousted as they were offline and the rules got changed that only Screenhots of an active apartment count.
This is not fair as the initial rules said something totally different.
While other apartments who did not do anything but a silly face for some seconds are allowed.

Rules before the contest started:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But who will pull off the most creative pranks? That’s for you to decide!

:performing_arts: How to Join the Fun:
:camera_flash: Drop your favorite prank moments in the comments — attach a screenshot and include the realm + participant names (no details = no entry!).
…
:rotating_light: Voting Rules:

  • Only forum members with Trust Level 1+ can vote.
  • No fake accounts, no vote manipulation — cheaters will be banned.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Changed rules after the contest:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

However, I can only accept actual screenshots from the show, not photo edits — unfortunately, this is not a creativity contest, and it was never announced as one.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I marked what got changed. Wanting to have the most creative pranks and after announcing this is no creativity contest. And also after it narrowing the rules to screenshots from the show

Here is the posted content in question: (It got 57 likes combined and the second most from all apartments:)

So now I need your opinion:

Was it right to oust these apartments?
  • Yes, because the rules were clear
  • No, the rules got changed after the contest

The competition rules stipulate that any change to the rules during the competition triggers the end of the current round and the start of a repetition, usually with an intermission for preparation.

This is usually a clause in the rulebook.

Nobody changed any rules, it is this simple.

The same applies to additions to the rules.

There wasn’t any addition. Everything was clear as day and night from the start. The only one who chose to bend/force the rules and post personal vids was Jabbath. Nobody else has ever posted personal vids in any contest that this forum ever had.
Since forever, all the screenshots or vids were only taken from the Vhtv cams, what is so difficult to understand ?

If I see correctly, the rulebook has been textually changed/corrected? If there is a monetary prize involved and not some game in kindergarten, the rules here are clear: a repetition. It is also the only fair option, regardless of who is rooting for whom.

Just some examples…

That did not age well :joy:

Sorry, i totally disagree. The rules have always been clear: screenshots or vids from the Vhtv cams on this type of contests.

Also, since forever, ONLY online apartments were included in any contest.

I can understand that someone is pissed off right now and want to show us his “power” on this forum but, in fact, is only doing a massive damage to both himself and Vhtv as well.

I am speaking from the perspective of a completely independent observer; fundamentally, I don’t care who is rooting for whom. As a participant in various leagues, I am familiar with quite a few rulebooks that are generally directive with the possibility of corrections by the organizers before the competition itself. However, any corrections, additions, and similar intermediate phases are prohibited during the competition itself, even if it is just a textual cosmetic correction. Precisely because of such nonsense that is now happening with this quasi-competition.

I can understand very well that you’re pissed off right now but you’ re not comparing apples with apples Jabs. Them polls where not involving participants creativity within the Realms. They where just a tribute to the girls.

Again, there wasn’t anything new added but more in dept/clearly explained to Jabs, which, it seems that he doesn’t want to accept. That’s all it is really

I think I made the rule changes very clear in my first post…

16

See my first post. I marked the changes in yellow.

17

What is exactly wrong, i was referring to the previous polls you posted, not this one now.

It says there clearly at the number 1: post your favourite sceenes by attaching a screenshot ( impossible to do while an apartment is offline).

What else do you need more clear than that ?

18

That sceenshot is from the Valentines Competition. And not from the current one. And the entries with personal videos there got counted…

I simply wrote what the rules of competitions with prizes usually are. I really wouldn’t want to get into arguments and politicizing “who is feuding with whom” because that is not the basis of this competition. According to the poll, more people disagree with the way both the voting and the competition are proceeding. So, it’s unclear to me why there is still any debate…

In fact, Jabs made this poll simply to show his “power” over the forum and ridicule Hannah

Kindergartner level at best

No wonder why so many people stopped coming here, soon will be Jabs & co forum.
