lets see here... I didn't win anything in the comedy comp, fair enough, I
did not have full confidence that I would (my own belief is that "geek out"
is not my best work, and did not deserve to win) I was beaten fair and
square, cool, congrats to Jeff Leary and especially Patrick Mahoney's "a new
computer, I loved it
"Congradulations to Jared Gilbert who won the General Animation Competition"
WHAT????? NO!
Jared Gilbert from Vermont submitted "Midnight Ride"
Doug James from West Virginia submitted "Metro"
Midnight Ride;
WINNER for Best Story in the BrickFilms Historical Fiction Contest,
Submitted to the general film fest
METRO won for Best FX in the 2002 Plast Awards, also submitted
from the official RULES for the general film festival:
"entries may have been submitted to other animation competitions, but are
NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WON AN AWARD."
..... doug, jared? cannot you read a simple rule book? between the two of
you, being intelligent, mature people, I would have thought ONE of you would
have READ the rules, and been able to UNDERSTAND that the phrase "but are
NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WON AN AWARD" means "but are NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WON AN
AWARD".
brickswest 2003 "Congradulations to Jared Gilbert who won the General
Animation Competition" ?????? NO,I think the sentance "SHAME on Jared
Gilbert who is either a blatant cheat, or is illitterate. " is more appropreate.
I AM grateful to Jared for his services to many brickfilmers (including
myself) by putting out entries onto an ntsc video tape inorder to ovoid
Bricksfest's tech issues... but I WILL NOT sit IDLE while OTHER entries are
CHEATED out of a FAIR competition.
I'm FURIOUS at this outrage....
and for those of you who think I'm mearly bitter because I didn't win a
prize think again... I didn't enter an entry in the general comp where this
cheating has taken place, if I had KNOWN that one could get away with this
BLATANT rule breaking, I surely WOULD have re-entered my award winning
"clocktower trillogy"
Doug, Jared, Todd... please EXPLAIN.

| .As for METRO- it had not yet won anything when I submitted it and it was already on the tape when the rules changed and so I told Jared 'F' it- just let it go and see what happens. It didn't win so it's no different from 'Blok wars' getting shown (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.events.brickswest)

| Um, whoa. First and foremost, this hobby is supposed to be fun. Animation contests at community events are supposed to be good-natured, friendly competition.
