I am just curious to know why the same skin and picture is in this planet minecraft post. Wasnt the purpose of the competition to CREATE your own skin, not just COPY AND PASTE, jus curious. Not blaming anyone.

Anyway here is the link to the post of the zombie taco skin....

That skin is pretty scary. If I saw that in mob form coming at me I would probably run.

Nice job Taco :D

Congratulations to the winner.

I don't know, but I thought my costume was by far the scariest and a perfectly good joke gone to waste.  :P

So he won a Skin Competition with a skin he didn't create himself? The skin is on Planet Minecraft and it is very popular, a lot of people use this skin... it is good indeed, but why would someone who didn't make their own skin win a Competition with such a massive price? 30 Days of VIP & 3000 Tokens for something you did not even make yourself isn't exactly fair.

Link to the skin that others have also posted here:

Admittedly, I thought this was unique... however, I still liked King's story that he put with the skin. I believe a few others in the contest had actually submitted pre-made skins or skins made by others, so It isn't a huge deal. There will be plenty more chance to win things in the future, such as VIP.

I am still not a fan of the fact that he won such a massive price for doing a simple Copy / Paste, but if you wont take the price from him, it's nothing I can do, I will just continue to dislike the fact that he won with something he didn't make himself, it's a real shame.

OTHER people like Tidal and me made skins that are actually CRATIVE AND ORIGINAL; i even made a video of me doing it if accusations were made...

I myself took 30 mins making the skin and like 5 in the story, i dont care if i dont win but i do care if people who took 2 mins copy pasting and 5 mins in the story win the Grand Prize

Seem to recall something about certain people always complaining or starting fights.  Hmmm...

But I digress, congrats Taco.  I do think Taco Bell Taco's are generally more afraid of me though.

So you're saying I am complaining by saying whats right? He shouldn't have won, he didn't make the skin, so he won by doing nothing, which me and others don't like.

Why shouldn't he have won if he didn't make the skin? They were no rules set on the competition stating you cannot use another skin.  Lots of others were using skins from PMC too, due to not a lot of people are good with creating skins perhaps.

Anyways,

Congratulations Taco.  And if you don't know what to do with the tokens, you know I am always accepting donations ;)

It shouldnt matter whenever youre good or bad, trying is already better then just stealing something and claiming it as yours and afterwards striking with your not so fair earned price.

I ask the winner nicely to be sporty and price the award to someone else who has actually spend time into creating the skin whenever its a bad or good skin, putting in effort and having fun while doing so is more worth then winning anything with what isnt yours.

Can you all get over it, I don't want to seem mean or anything but Taco won fair and square as fatnoob (foob) said. So instead of trying to get everyone attacking Taco just congratulate him, and move on. And fatnoob did say there will be more opportunities to win something.

Were all a community who win and loose together. A big Minecraft family  ;)

Thats what it said in the competition post, for me it seems very clear that "your" states a skin that you own because of you being the author/creator.

Anyway congratulations for "winning"...

I agree with Foob. I thought the story was unique on top of the skin. Sure he might not have made the skin but he added a story to it and made it his own.

- The most creative skin will receive: 3000 Tokens and 1 month of V6 VIP

Im not trying to put fuel on the fire, I love being creative and I admire hard work others put into their creations whenever its good or bad, in my eyes these people are the winners.
But what we see here contains a minor piece of creativity, yes alot of people are probably gonna disagree with me but everyone can sit on the toilet write a story thats 45 words long about tacos while he/she is dumping them in the toilet  :/
I hope things like these wont occur in the future and I hope people will accept this opinion.

EDIT: To make it short, creativity should have been awarded not the other way around.

Anyways congratz for winning I guess.

Was this a Story Competition? No, it was a Skin Competition, he won with a skin he didn't create, and he got a price that he didn't deserve.

Pot meet kettle.  lol  Too funny.

Don't let anyone bully or make you feel bad kingtaco.  You keep your prize and do whatever YOU want with it.

Ok so first we Complain & now we Bully him? Please explain your reason for calling us Bullies.

Batuus is right, it clearly says  The most creative SKIN will receive: 3000 Tokens and 1 month of V6 VIP, i guess that writing a story for it will help you win the competition, but it wasn't only based on the story.

Max is not entirely about the prize, is about what's right, its a form of cheating. For example is like consuming drugs to win at a sport, clearly you wont get a prize for cheating and will even be punished for it.

It is also plagiarism, Taco is claiming to own that skin; i don't know about you guys but in my school plagiarism is taught as a very very very bad thing to do, teachers and students have been expelled for committing plagiarism.
Title: Re: Halloween Competition Winner
Post by: 86maxsmart on 6 Nov 2013, 01:59:15
Proto,

Plagiarism and cheating are some pretty strong words.  Although I may have missed something, I didn't read anywhere in the rules where Fatnoob said it had to be a skin that you personally created.  Nevertheless, it is reasonable that people could have interpreted it that way.

Cheating is wrong, but I feel it would be more wrong to accuse someone of such a thing when it is not clear cut.  I will wager none of us really knows who kingtaco is or what age he/she is, or what they thought was allowed.  What if this was your 8 year old little sister just trying to fit into the community?  How would you feel after all the vitriol in this forum?

Lastly, if people are upset about the fairness of such a mega-trivial contest, they are going to have a really hard time in this world.

Opinions are made to be accepted, they dont specificly have to do something other then proving your point, something that I have been doing lately on the forums showing my aspect of how I see something, which usually never turns out good as apperently nobody gets my point of view.
Im willing to drop my opinion and quit this as a mature guy, as my opinion wont be accepted, yet as you say im still going to defend my point of view.

Here I thought it was a skin creating contest, not a storywriting one. I mean the contest primer didn't even say anything about a story, it said a description.

I don't think my skin is the greatest thing ever by any stretch...but at least I made it myself.

This was one competition. I'm sure there will e more. You may not agree with the outcome but it is what it is. Foob and the other admins made the best decision and they obviously thought about skins that were made and skins that were found online....

I'm sorry but I'm finding this to be getting way out of hand.
