Children its just a contest. If all you can think about is who won then your missing the point.
.....All pro means is that he gets payed.
I showed a person Subway at the mall, and he gave me 2 bucks once...guess that means I'm pro too.
Sore loser, much? Man, your video was good, but that does not give you a right to criticize others and the judges of this contest. Your post there is childish, disrespectful, and unprofessional. They're sending out FREE prizes. They're judging. When YOU'RE sending out free stuff, then you can pick who wins.
For now, let's rejoice in the fact that we had a great time tonight and two awesome videos won.

Chuck Norris jokes are now competing for space with emo whinging.
I'm going to ask everyone to remain calm and evacuate the thread in an orderly manner. If you pick up any residual stupidity from the Chuck Norris jokes, I have paramedics standing by with IV drips of Mike Judge's Office Space. For those of you who contract a case of the emo, we are all prepped to administer regular doses of Manowar until the sickness passes.
Meanwhile, vietiscool and similar users who are spreading these pathogens are asked to step aside to the quarantine zone.

Yes I guess that is true. And I apologize for that.
I just despise the fact that just because t11 made somebody a winner, they think they're really good and creative now.
But I see where you are coming from.
Vietiscool, I understand you are upset because you didn't win but your envy and jealousy is so overwhelming that even Chuck Norris is complaining by it. Chill out and while you shouldn't pretend to be happy you didn't win just don't say anything and try again next time.
Pretty easy for you to say.
I, obviously did not have a good time. I haven't had one in a long time with these bullcrap contests. I've been wanting to say this for a while, so don't take this as a spaz. You might as well give a prize to "25+" other members because most of the other submissions were kickass.
All I'm saying is that there are so many better submissions that are more deserving.
I'm also sick of you people preaching about creativity. Combining two random objects can create some awesome stuff -I'm not going to lie.
But the REAL challenge for creativity is... What can you make out of JUST 52 cards that's original, creative, and stylish that HASN'T been seen before. It's harder to create an object out of cards (and nothing else) and utilize it in a flourish, compared to using an already made object made out of different materials (metal, plastic, rubber, etc.)
Anyone can go on a treadmill and do the werm, but how many of you can make a treadmill out of less than 52 playing cards and use the remainder of it to do a flourish...?
I'm done. Goodbye and goodnight, Johnathan.

I'm sorry, but this totally cracked me up. Eugene, your post comes across just as petty as vietiscool's. Very disrespectful, very childish, very unprofessional. It's their contest - they will judge it however they want. Personally, I loved both of the videos that won tonight. I thought they were awesome. Did I like some of the other videos? Absolutely. It was hard for me to pick a favorite. I loved them all.
I think you need to take a step back bro and realize that this isn't your contest. You're not a judge. I did have a great time tonight, as I'm sure 99% of everyone else here did. If you didn't (as you said in your post), you aren't required to participate. For everyone else, this rocked. Now I gotta get back to practicing my coin roll!

I believe I am entitled to my own opinion.
My main point was that they preach about creativity to us like this is a sermon. I just want to open the artist's, crew's, whatever you wanna call them's eyes to the other side of creativity, or my view on it.
They are giving away free stuff. It is there stuff and they can give it to anyone they want.
Stop being wusses.
Stop being wusses.
You're also entitled to shoot your mouth off and cry like a child with a skinned knee. Doesn't mean you should.
I don't even like these contests. I find most of them to be banal and pointless, as are most of the submissions. I generally avoid them because I have no desire to lapse into another violent drinking binge that ends with me waking up naked in a stranger's backyard.
My solution is to just not participate and not waste my time sobbing my eyes out.
If this is how you go about persuading people, I hope you never try for a job in sales.
Of course it's their contest, theory11's contest..the "underground magic and cardistry epicenter" am I wrong?
With a name like that, people like me and Eugene would actually believe that t11 knows a thing or two about those topics, cardistry at least. Boy were we wrong.
These "creativity contest" or whatever they like to call them, are BS. Creativity is a lot more than doing a move horribly then associating it with something completely random. Otherwise people wouldn't be practicing moves.
We would instead, to win these contests, make a video of us doing a charlier cut while taking 2 steps to the left, yes that's creativity for you.
Meh, I'm just going to stop there. I've had enough of t11 and their SNCs.
Oh and sorry about all this whining. Maybe if I were more fortunate to have a treadmill I might win next time.
Guys,
Very disappointed to see some of the hostility posted by a very vocal minority after the results tonight. I found many of the comments disrespectful, unprofessional, and quite frankly - completely uncalled for.
If you didn't win, there's always next week. If you disagreed with the results, it happens. We picked the videos that we liked the most - that stood out to us the most. We picked one funny one. We picked one serious one. If we didn't pick you, there is no need to be upset about it. There will be another contest, there will be another chance. I believe it was Chuck Norris who once said, "the sun will come out tomorrow." Definitely either Chuck Norris, or Annie. I digress.
Right now, though - let's just offer congratulations to our winners and everyone who participated tonight. Great work all around. I'll leave it at that. Word.
