Is it that difficult to admit you, or your team or somebody just fucked up with the rules of the contest? Many look at you as the leader of this whole place, admitting when you are blatantly wrong and apologizing is a trait of a strong leader (as long as it doesn't happen all the time)... What you do right now is simply give more fuel to the people calling you incompetent and/or other nice names.
I get it. In a game where the winner is declared by random selection any method used to select the winner is valid provided all parties have the same information. I also get you coming in here to defend your boy Andrachy.
You have a horrible way of speaking with people and of explaining your thoughts. If you felt this was beneath you then you shouldn't have spoken up. But you're here now so welcome. Long time reader first time replier, big fan of your hair, and a little disappointed no one mentions the eyes.
Mathematics aside it doesn't feel right. The game doesn't feel fair. To make your statement correct, all Andrachy had to do was keep his method of selection to himself, no one would have known it was by vote and any person that won it would have been happy and everyone else would have congratulated them and moved on. But he didn't, he announced that there were rules to the game that weren't just unknown but contradicted those previously announced.
Losing a game by random chance everyone can accept... Apart from some pokie machine addicts Pokie machines for the Americans. But losing a game where there were secret rules, which you actively contravened because you wanted to be nice. Feels like you're a piece of shit who doesn't deserve anything, and will never grow up to become a CEO sociopath who recites the quadratic equation before sex to get hard.
And now I've lost you. You won't respond. That's ok.
BTW, you should be worried when @berniesanders shows more empathy than you.
"Prove me wrong mathematically."
Okay. first of all prize of this contest was very generous. And even more importantly joining steemit was one of the best things that happened to me in the last few years so thank you and all other members of the team.
With that being said the rest of this comment will probably make me sound like a sore loser so bear with me. I won a different contest. I was not able to cover my travel and accommodation expenses in time so I refused my ticket and it now belongs to a new winner. I will work harder and try to be in steemfest 4. Now I will try to explain why this matters.
this was the rule in contest that I lost.
This shows exact entry form for the contest that I lost.
This shows how many times phrase "Please count me in this raffle..." was used . If we take away 2 of these times( mine and the one in the rules) we get the number of people who also wanted to win raffle. In other words it shows how low were my chances of winning this thing. But despite that it also shows that my chances at this point were not zero.
This shows that my chances were zero from the start because winner was decided by vote count and not luck.
Yes I have myself to blame for not considering that raffle could be decided by vote count. But I still think that such details should be made clear from the start. Like I said this contest was generous. But at the same time cruel because I had a tiny hope of winning while in reality that was just illusion.
Sad, frustrating... yep.
So, you had hope and you lost it. I get it.... That's frustrating.
But sometimes things don't go as planned and plans change. It's not like you paid for a raffle ticket.
Sometimes, life isn't fair and we lose when we link we won.
"It's not like you paid for a raffle ticket".
By making my entry according to the rules stated in the contest I paid for the chance. And unlike some others who paid the same price I didn't receive what I was paying for. You are right that the host can change the rules how they want. They have that right. Like I said I already accepted that I have to aim for steemfest 4. My goals, dreams and hopes are delayed by a year. So be it. I can't change anything about that. At least that means that I can use that additional year to work on myself and improve. So originally I was not even going to mention any of this. But host himself claimed fairness and asked to prove him wrong. I would have accepted and even respected statements like"My money- my rules " or "You are right. I made a mistake but I will do better next time". But claiming fairness? According to my very basic math that fairness was a bit lacking so I called BS on that. I have that right.
The way you're talking is like we're your slaves or something. Either shut the fuck up or just get down from the mountain, Zeus, and talk to us mortal beings. I swear to god you're such a dick I can't even believe it. I swear to god every time you write something it's like those companies that filled the water with led and then claiming it wasn't their fault and that people shouldn't complain. Take a humble pill, won't you?
having one entry per person compared to multiple entries per person is not the same mathematically. I honestly think you have a firm grasp of that. I don't think I need to explain that 1+1 does not = chicken
@ned delegates to @dtube
@dtube is run by @heimindanger
@heimindanger is a bigot who routinely refers to people as "fag" in a derogatory manner.
Does @ned support bigotry?
So youre saying that someone with zero votes or recognotion had the same chances as someone who had lots of community support, when ultimately the decision was made to choose from those who had community support? I understand the randomness of randomly choosing to go from one random decision to another in a random fashion but his chances may have been randomly better. Thanks for your response! I'm too tired to discuss random mathematics.
I'm not going to lie to you, the original plan was to come here and rant over how my boy amir got really hurt but being this close, I have to say you're really pretty, have really amazing hair and I sorta mistook you for Captain america but please tell me its longer than one inch
Please stop talking. You are just exposing the kind of warped up logic/sense of reasoning you've been using to run Steem Inc. Either take responsibility for your actions or shut the fuck up.
