How can best and first answer in a question with +6 upvotes dont get the prize but a copy of my answer with +1 upvote gets it?

Then the question winner is a question without answer that goes against what you say is a good question in the rules, since is not concise , is not short and doesnt even has an answer.
Step 2: Provide the summary for the question in one sentence ...

There was so good questions and answers, the only 1 I agree is deserver is the one of Yalthus regarding cleanse , there is no sense on the rest of questions and answers that won...

How can https://www.tibiaqa.com/36655/is-there-any-sign-that-azzilon-catacombs-is-open be better than
https://www.tibiaqa.com/36599/how-many-demonic-core-essences-are-needed-to-open-azzilon-catacombs

Also I think views should count, it reflects a bit the quality of the question, the winner question has 97  views one of mine has 1081 and the other one more than 500 views.
The second question winner is the same only 97 views... I know I sound mad but this time results are so unfair.

During the contest time I got the most upvoted question, the most upvoted answer and the most viewed question, and I didnt get even third place on any of categories, can you tell at least why ?

To be honest, I didn't expect to win anything, especially since I didn't create any questions/answers with that intention. But I think some of the points that Zupakode raised are quite valid.

I think that in contests of this type it would be better if only the TibiaQA team chose the winners, after all, you know the fansite better than anyone else.

But congratulations to the winners!

I respect free speech. But you showed a lot of rudeness, Zupakode. I took my time to analyse every entry in this contest before voting. I can share that another answer entry not mentioned here from you got selected in my personal picks. No one was discriminated during the voting phase.

You got (initially) a small wrong take regarding your conclusion about Charm analysis which demanded revision. Then, the other user answered with a cleaner and more concise conclusion, so yeah, the winner got his own merit on it. In fact, I even liked your answer initially and expressed my compliment, but it was called out as having some problems and you addressed later on. Check the dates, you only addressed your question calculation mistake with final edits on 31 of December, while oezetat completed his answer on December 3rd. I honestly don't see what the 2nd place plagiarized from you, since he did not even reach the exact same conclusion and made a different graph. What are you insinuating here?

As for Azzilon open sign question, I see many high-level players confused on how to know when the catacombs are opened if they weren't online earlier, relying strictly on discord and friends for this info, and I feel that many people would be searching for that info in-game thus the question makes sense and it is legit. Although I really like the demonic core essence question, I see both questions equally good AND I support the members who voted for the entry who got picked up (I follow many youtubers that discuss and play the game so I see that both questions are relevant).

We had great content here this last month, it was a tough competition. No need to be sour about that. Peace, out.

I understand your point , but for example you speak about mistake on my answer of savage blow vs low blow and in this question https://www.tibiaqa.com/36618/which-major-minor-charms-are-worth-unlocking-up-to-stage-3?show=36624#a36624 the answer that won a prize has many mistakes , like calculation of % on critical damage, then he says is worth fatal hold at level 3 which is not correct since everyone that tested it know you dont need lvl 3, you need lvl 1 for mages and level 2 for EK and RP.


Anyway you also talk about the point of choosing what people more request or is more interested on know the answer and for that 2 question won with 97 views in the website and other with more than 1000 views doesnt got any prize, more views significate that people is more interested on it and you guys ignored that.



I know I have been rude this time , but you know that I ve been on so many contests on this website and this is not the first or second time that this happens and it makes me mad since I continue seing people winning with 1 question created in months , new users that doenst even voted more than 1 question or answer and questions winning with so low views on website or poor content, and Im not talking only for my case, but I saw many times very good questions with much views and many upvotes losing versus questions that doesnt even has more than 100 views or even have upvotes, so where is the criteria on preselecting? Some of them doesnt even follow the guidelines for good questions... anyway you know perfectly what I meant with all of this, just sorry for the manners I know are not the correct.
