I guess I’ll try to make this clear, third time’s the try.
Miss Lugara forfeited her third place isk prize of 750 million and an attribution was added as to source
since it was not wholly her work. (As to how it was posted, I have had various entries get mailed to me over the years by different people and i have always posted them in such a case).
The original fourth place winner, Silas Moliko, has been moved up to third place and got that 750 million
The highest ranking Honorable Mention, Snowflake Tem, was moved up to fourth place and got that 250 million prize.
In this way no one was penalized by the entry.
As I said, People can judge if i should have been harsher or not, but under the circumstances I thought that was fair and made sure no one was penalized by the entry.
I suppose I could have asked Miss Lugara to tattoo “plagarist” on her head and run naked with ashes and sackcloth through Jita 4-4-, but this seemed to me to be fairest under the circumstances.
Given Mr. Magni’s kind offer of retrospective checking, i think it would be more useful to do so prospectively if there is a contest next year.
Would you like to volunteer to be the plagarism checker next year in such a case, Mr. Magni?
I’ll add you to the volunteer roster if so, and thank you in advance!
