PS TV competition: Should Solitude keep the prize?

[Wyvern]

Let him have it, he is like me, we tend to withdraw from all comps. So why not let him have it?

 

[matt]

I say let him have it, there hasn't been a redraw yet anyway

 

[Hagan]

I do believe "The tribe has spoken".

 

[Isengard]

Give the man his prize!

 

[Ichigo]

Looks like people are trying to get their brownie points hoping they get more chance of being chosen next time.

Solitude isn't known for giving away prizes. :wtf: And it's not like he could see who voted in his favour anyway.

 

[Solitude]

Nah, there's no such thing as brownie points in the competition since it's down to a lucky draw.

I understand completely why you are against me getting the prize but I'm glad that people have voted favourably for me. And I don't think it's because of brownie points or anything like that. I'm hoping that it's because I'm friends with many people here.

Take it you were one of three? Get over it.

That is exactly why I said yes, Soli is a good person, who deserves the win, plus he is sharing it, so I don't see the issue with it at all.

The one who said Jan should decide

How did you reach this conclusion?
He decided he wants to claim his prize, whereby (effectively) retracting his statement of a redraw, thus the prize still belongs to him... since a redraw won't be taking place.

My reasoning.

 

[Nimatek]

He won it, even though he asked to be removed he has a use for it now so it only is fair that he get

draw wouldn't have happened as Solitude chose to not be chosen for the draw as he does not need it so someone else like Beotek may have been chosen.

 

[BeoTeK]

I'm indifferent here. I am not going to try and sway the vote. Though I have been mentioned, I don't want to seem as though I will be benefiting from this. Thus voted for Jan to make a decision.

That being said, how many people win something on the site that actually need their prize?

Give it to him. Fate decided!

+1 chose third option for a similar reason

Hehe and that's why we are having the voting. I'm being a bit of a dick in wanting the prize now.

Probably 75% or I don't see why they would enter if it does not better them.

Yeah, Random.org and my dice don't really care about how many brownie points one accumulates. Also I have a *very* short memory, as has been proven by me forgetting that Soli had removed himself from the running.

I'm hoping that it's because I'm friends with many people here.

While I proposed a redraw procedure, it was open to comments. I wasn't sure if people would be happy about me adding in new people to the pool after removing those who weren't eligible.

That's why I posted the proposed redraw to the thread and left it over the weekend for feedback, and why I am calling for a vote now.

would have been fair to add in the new people as they would have been in anyway
