Re: Prime8's Retirement Giveaway.

Before I get to it, I want to thank ALL of you for your posts/submissions for the contest. I wasn't expecting this many to turn out honestly. Whether it's because more people know/care about me or if they just noticed the 1.3 million credits up for grabs, who knows lol. Still, I thank you for all that you've said and know I will truly be missed. I think I'll try to stay in the community, lurking the forums like I used to before I got interested in tournaments.
This was really tough for me to decide on because a lot of you had good submissions, whether it be your proclamation of love for me or explaining what you intend to do with the credits. In order to whittle down some of the choices, I had to make it come down to CREATIVITY. I know a lot of you had good intentions for using the credits if you won them, but what was to make you stand out from the others who said the same thing? I really don't want to sound rude at all about this, because I believe that's how you genuinely were going to use them, and I think that's very noble of you guys. However, I needed to choose someone that stood out from the rest of the pack.
It came down to 4 people: Adamaja456, Vanilla Mnm, Bolth Mann, and GG_Guru. The first one I had to get rid of was Adam, because if he truly knew me, he'd know that I don't wear boxers XD. Next to go was Bolth. At first, you were going to be the winner, but after perusing this thread multiple times to read everyone else's submissions and coming across your picture a lot, it started getting a tiny bit creepy. This was probably the funniest submission of them all, next to Adam's sex story and ichini's video (it cracks me up every time I see it). So then it was Vanilla and Guru. This was what made this post so delayed, because it was excruciatingly difficult to pick between the two. A lot of me said to pick Vanilla, because he did multiple things for his submission. I can sympathize with the BF's all in a day, but I've gotten 21 in a day with 15 of them in a row, so it wasn't too outlandish. I thought the sign was neat too. I'm very surprised no one did something with my hatred towards Nova Pulser. If your sign had the minijack part of NP on it or something, I probably would have ended the contest right there and then and given you the credits lol. I didn't care much for the AIM convos, but again, it was another thing you wanted to add to your submission, so that was good. My decision finally came down to the video. With Vanilla's video, you just didn't seem all that interested to be doing it. It seemed like you just wanted to get it done with to have yet another thing in your submission. I can only see half of your face lol. With Guru's video, I was pretty skeptical. The beginning stuff seemed too formulaic - as if it had been done before (someone mentioned a video for someone else, but I don't remember it too much). What I thought was neat though (besides the music haha) was that he remembered the comment I put a while back about not being in his FFR video. Ultimately, it was quantity vs. quality, so I made the probably unfavorable decision that GG_Guru IS THE WINNER!
I'm very sorry for the rest of you that tried and didn't win. Please don't take this as me hating you, and I certainly hope this doesn't mean you hate me. I hope you put those credits to good use Guru. Hopefully you can have a decent DG tournament or something later in the future. Thank you all for participating!
