That's what my entry was about lol.

I still think you guys are looking too much into what they said though.

I'm mad because that was false advertisement. You'can't just say "Everyone's a winner" in a contest and NOT expect everyone who enters to get upset when they DON'T win! >_< But then again, it's so typical of TNT. Playing mindgames and dashing hopes. T_T

It never stated everyone that entered the contest would win the contest.

Here is exactly what it said: (Taken from Jasujo's post)

Code:

Temple of What Now?

Info and Rules:
How many tombs are in the Temple of 1,000 Tombs and why the heck would anyone need that many tombs anyway?

Here are some facts about the Temple of 1,000 Tombs:
- It has tombs. Duh.
- It's a great spot for tourists (or people who have certain siblings they wish would get lost).
- Remember to visit the gift shop. It doesn't get much business since it's so hard to find.
- It's aMAZEing. HAHALOLZ! Ow, my sides.

Done and done! Another completely random contest with which to try your luck, and another completely random contest for us to judge completely randomly while we're busy working on the plot. EVERYONE'S A WINNER!

Yes, Everyone's a winner is in caps ... but read the sentence before it. try your luck ... we wouldn't have to be trying our luck if they were just going to give the prize to everyone.

They also state clearly they are going to judge completely randomly while we're busy working on the plot. Yes ... they *are* going to judge something. They will be picking random entries.

So ... they were just saying that they would have more time to work on the plot by judging the contest randomly, and thus ... we would benefit by having the plot continue as excellently as it has been.

Hopefully ... all this complaining is being done tongue and cheek. They by no means actually promised everyone would win. You can't just take a single sentence out of context and start calling shenanigans. It was not false advertisement ... it is clear that within the context of that paragraph, they were making no such claim.

This plot has been great. Kudos to TNT so far.

I think the most likely suspect is the word everyone, the person who won has it in their entry

I think everyone will agree that my Comb prophecy answers your question

so everyone is a winner, meaning if you have 'everyone' in your entry, you win.

I don't think that's it...I won...and here's my entry:

Quote:

Because of miscalculations, the architects somehow ended up with 1,000 different tombs. However, not having 1,000 pharaohs to bury in the tombs, they demolished about three quarters of the rooms before realizing that their five hundred years of slaving over this monument was being destroyed so they left the remaining 250 rooms. However, when they finally realized that in actuality, they had no dead pharaoh at all to house in the tomb, they fled from the royal guards sent by the enraged royals because they had spent 500 years building a series of tombs for no reason at the cost of the royals. They had forgotten however the hundreds of traps they'd left in case anybody tried to raid the tomb and perished. They didn't suffer too much though. They had time to visit the gift shop several times before finally passing on to the next world and thus housing their non royal forms in the tombs.

Maybe the magic word was "tombs"?

that would be amusing, but then how did they choose who got first, second, third place? Did they choose randomly out of the people who had the magic word, probably a silly question :oops:
