    about people complaining about the "make up for one miss day" my take is this:

    - you change of winning isn't changed by a significant amount
    - you still have a slightly higher chance of winning ring, you have 20 entries and they have 19
    - its more likely that someone who post 20 will win

    lets say there are 455 ppl who enter all 20 days and 34 people with 19 days (with the 20th day): (i counted .-. well ..... the one without the day 20 include but its an estimate.....)

    without including the people who has only 19 days:
    people who post 20, the chance is 1/455 (0.219%)

    Including the people who has only 19 days:
    the people who post all 20 days have 20/9746 (0.205%)
    and the people who post 19 days have 19/9746 (0.195%)


    either way, your chance of winning is less than 2 grim banish in a row (0.25%) :P

    and since there are 455 people with 20 and 33 people with 19, there are 93.37% chance that the winner is someone with 20 post ...

    not really worth the whine :P

    Ok I only entered about 16 days or so - so it does not really concern me. However changing the rules of a contest on the last day is just uncool. You set your rules at the start and then you do the contest. If you start changing things for whatever reason you can expect complaints.

    People whine about that they cant edit/missed/not showing one day entry.

    People now whine about that last day is unfair.

    I whine about their whine.

    Everyone whine.

    Good luck & have fun.

    And moreover shards were present for those who couldnt post 20 days..and shard is good as a ring. Why now change it and include the ring as prize for them too?

    Either dont change rules or if you change rules make it win win for everyone.

    I dont know anyone who falls in anything, thank you very much, your all overacting over a little competition. Supposed to be fun, , but you all took the fun out of it, its people acting like this that ruins the game and fun aspects of it . Like I said I wish you all the best of luck, but to be honest this has ruined the whole point of the competition for me , its supposed to be fun not a reason to argue or to be rude or disrespectful to other people for.

    Well I'll just say this. It's no longer a competition if the rules change at the end effecting determination of " winners"

    You're only looking at fun from your perspective. And as I mentioned, people that didn't do all 20 days still had a chance at shard or teeth. So there is still "fun" for them. The ring was supposed to be for those that were dedicated and completed all 20 days.

    Alas, another change in direction. We should all be use to it by now. It's happened before and it will happen again. And still, people will voice their displeasure.

    Tbh, just turning the other cheek is a little irresponsible. I say that with utmost respect to you and others that feel it's ok. It sets a bad example in my opinion. Just like some other things we've seen in the recent past.

    In the end, it's not that important in the grand scheme of thing like you say. But I feel it's very important to uphold the rules of contests and competitions.

    I dont have an issue with people expressing their opinion I respect that, as people should equally respect mine, and I understand your frustration, but in my opinion this just takes the fun out of the competition, all the uneeded aggression, being portrayed by several people, is so unnecessary , were lucky a competition was even thrown in the first place, but as I said the last thing im trying to do is disrespect or disregard your opinion, im just trying to share mine, which in the future, I think ill withdraw from doing.
