Hervé: Something like that, they may win at most 2 times totally. If they complain, which i'm sure they will then screw them. Those guys already won, give the newbies a chance now and let them have some fun and get inspired, giving them the same opportunity to start from scratch, create something pretty and get some funky gadget for their hard work. And to be honest i've seen several skilled newbies and other users which been showcasing both talent and skill. If they only got a chance to be brought out in the daylight instead of being overshadowed by the same gang of winners month after month. I'd personally be happy to stand back and let others win, which i'm doing now as long as see a change from the current system that is.
About being impatient Hervé, i know it's a problem and i can't help it.

sucks everything got posted early but it would still made zero difference to be honest. What's posted is posted and minds are made up in advance so even if you drop in your contribution later it should in theory be judged just as well as those being sent in the last minute. Shouldn't they ?
Mattia: Well said! thank you.
Bubba: In theory yes everyone has the same chance, but not if you start looking at the patterns occuring at every contest. You can then easily track down a selected group of big uploaders on the MXM Gallery which win often, and some random newcomers to the Gallery but those are rare. And i looked at the winning material, wasn't to impressed. Sure it's good but not THAT good if you know what i mean. But then again, i'm not complaining about this competition and it's winners, i'm just a bit thrown off balance after seeing my prediction were as accurate as it were and i honestly thought things would change now but they didn't. I participated to try to make a difference but i quickly noticed my skills are way to low to bother with it in the future.
Ok sorry, i babbled enough now. I bet i get to eat my words soon.. :/
