I understand your frustration, but you haven't been active on Hive very much at all lately in regard to participating, blog posts, or even commenting much. I do see that you are a serious player though and will keep that in mind curating and judging in the future.

But, it's presumptuous of you to make accusations of what troubles people went to or not. I pretty much answer and curate and read and evaluate art and inspect the accounts and see if the entrants are scammers etc. to do this now here, for this contest. EVERY ENTRY I LOOK AT AND SEE.

I also run and curate two of the other import whole Communities on Hive, pretty much by myself, too. So, you didn't get your rewards or get placed in this competition, which is your first since January.

I would love to have time to play SL more myself and create art (which i can't even participate in this competition since i am a curator) but i make sacrifices of my time and interests and own personal gain to give back to the Hive Community as a whole.

I would encourage you to let losing motivate you to put in the same amount of effort (since lack of effort or skill was not the issue)as you did there in your last post, and try more often.

It's not about winning or losing... it's about how you play the game, at least in this art contest. Of course, how you play the game in SplinterLands is how you win.
