I don\'t own an iPod.

I don\'t hear any complaints from the other competitions. Thats why I was curious.

Why do people use microsoft, why do people buy ipods?
They have a level of critical mass behind them that their competitors can\'t currently match.

And to be honest I think there would be bitching no matter what the competition.

You don\'t here complaints because they are either run better or to small to take up as much attention.

And also how many actaul entrants are bitching? How many entrants are there per year?

My example with Microsoft is because people bitch about them being so lousy and yet the majority of people still use it (in fact the majority of people who use it are happy to do so). GD is the same, the majority of people who go there just don\'t give a shit about what others see as such major issues.

the biggest problem ebon is that gw has different rules for the different countries.
it also breaks rules for some and not others.

what is a legal entry in one gw competition is illegal in another, even tho it is the same categorie.

bit silly realy.

 

[laurence]

yeah but still...

Regardless of whether or not it\'s all kosher in regard to GW giving the d00d permission I still reckon he\'d feel a little weird about all this (justifiable) fuss surrounding his entry... But who cares really. (cares about how the bad russian guy must be feeling because after all as you pointed out ebbonbuddha he was allowed to enter his mini without attending the games day which in essence means he\'s done nothing wrong.)

So given that it\'s GW\'s fault for bending the rules for this d00d, it\'s there fault for all this mess. Not fair in my opinion as many other great painters including Steve Buddle didn\'t enter because of this rule. Seem a little strange on GW\'s behalf to let him enter when this decision went against the rules of entry. But anyhow, I\'m still going to go on supporting GW and dreaming of a golden deamon win.

~edit~ forgive my illegible use of the English language! I found gin and tonic in Taiwan tonight... It\'s 11:22pm here, so I\'d better go hang the washing out before it becomes too late.

Thanks for the replies.

I understand the Microsoft comment. I\'m saying that I use it because I have tried anything else. Maybe that is what these guys should do.Try something else besides the GD.

Right, let\'s nail this down. I see LOTS of unskilled effort from one certain individual to shift the attention from the main point of this thread.

Why?

Could it be that some other Russian painter tried to pull the same trick this year, but failed?

AGAIN...

Oh, for those of you who missed the track: the head of Russian GW distribution admitted using personal connections at GW to get a miniature to the contest from someone else, who didn\'t bother to come. He claims, GW did him this favor, because he\'s their dealer. While the \"winner\" says he doesn\'t feel guilty.

Focus, people, focus!

 

[Alexi Z]

And also, dont forget, Margo tryed do same thing in 2004, but failed lol

 

[AinuLainour]

That\'s not the point Natayla. We went over that and your arguement, no matter how true, just makes you look angry and hateful of Margo. If it makes you two stop bickering you\'re both beautiful and you are both fantastic painters.

No, this is means how hypocritical Margo. She just jealous BadRussianGuy.

 

[Margo]

Um, I wonder, if there is anyone else on the forums who\'s not capable of getting what I said earlier about the 2004 case? If anyone else is confident enough to admit their inability to follow simple sentences, I\'d me more than happy to run the explanation again! In Armenian, Russian, Bulgarian, English or even in Macedonian, for that matter!

Yet I\'m getting keener by the minute that my version about some other Russian painter, who sent their work to GD UK 2006 illegally, failed to win a trophy and now is trying to shift the focus from the point of this thread, is right.

 

[Orb]

ahhh this is most interesting..............

I, Inspector Orb of the Yard, am deducing all is not what it seems.........

At the CMON meet, I noticed Margo turned up with who I believe to Sister123 and Sigurd. It is obvious from this photo in Natalya\'s live journal that she too knows these people, so I gather that Margo and Natalya have mutual friends...........

mmmmmmmm interesting..........

and given Margo\'s cryptic comment about someone else trying and failing this year to do the same heinous crime..........

this is just tooooooo fascinating.......

Margo........I grasp whats being said about your 2004 experience.

somehow that doesn\'t surprise me.........

deduction flawed...............

 

[AinuLainour]

*In high whiny voice* Why can\'t we all just get along?

Okay, well it sounds like Margo WAS hypocritical, but that doesn\'t mean that there should be personal attacks against her. What we should learn from this is don\'t bring up such an issue if you have done such a thing before. I figure that this was pretty obvious.

 

[Margo]

AinuLainour, would you prefer Macedonian or English?

Right, sorry, couldn\'t resist. In short, once again. I could have done it, but I didn\'t, after reading the rules. Period, the end.

 

[AinuLainour]

Hehe. Well anyways, I didn\'t know that you DIDN\'T end up entering the miniature in question.
