Even if the changes are considered "good", this is not fair, is similar to what dictators do. I understood the reasons, but justifying it on the number of good submissions is even more wrong. Even if the majority accept it, the rules should not change, as even the democracy has its limits (it should respect the minority and the current rules). Perhaps im being too serious, but this is something that must be taken serious imo. | ||

Being a lawyer myself too, I propose death penalty under US Law(it is under US law right?). i just know ppl like you would say that This contest is not a random person doing something useless, It is is being watched by ppl outside TL also and a rule change like that reduces credibility. I take TL serious, and i think some ppl take this contest serious also. Its not just because its about a game that the rules can be screwed | ||

2 keys each for the Top 3 is what was promised and what will stay. | ||

As for the issue with the keys, as somebody who has made a cake and is competing in this thing I am for 1 key per person and 6 winners. I just want A cd key so I can play the beta which is why I made the cake and put so much time/effort into my cake, and so did others. Not winning a key and than not being chosen for the opt in would eat me alive, especially knowing that random people with no love at all for starcraft could be chosen for the opt in over us who still support SC BW 11 years later. Having said that if I happen to place in top 3 and rules stay the same I am willing to give my key to another competitor if thats what it takes. I also don't see how that will ruin the credibility of TL if it is what the majory of the contestants want to do. | ||

However, the consequent disenfranchisement of those who would originally receive 2 beta keys not only hurts them, but harms TL's reputation for fair dealing. It is therefore best to keep the rules as we have them. All competitors entered under the 2/2/2 rules, and thus agreed to those terms. We are saddened that we only have these few keys to give out, with so many worthy entries, but I believe we have decided upon the best course of action here. As has been suggested, we are showing Blizzard PR the amazing work put forth by the TL community in this contest and others, requesting for additional prizes. While obviously there are no guarantees in this dept., we will do our best to keep you posted. Best of luck to all aspirant bakers! | ||

I guess we posted at the same time so I didn't see this when I made my last entry in the thread. You guys do what you feel is right and best, and I guess we hope our Blizzard people recognize and give everybody on TL a beta key! | ||

This is my entry, a Zerg Mutalisk cake. It's made of gateau filled with hazelnut pudding, covered with marzipan and with the addition of some cherry. It's eyes are made of gum bears. The wings are connected to the body with thin wooden rods. I started making it with big ambitions, but I realized that making of a cake can be quite time consuming. I've planned more detailed body, much more detailed wings, and primarily a bit darker, and more accurate color, but tiredness and the food paint's failure to properly color the marzipan led me to this solution: album of pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/olazs.hurka/TLStarcraftCakeContestMutalisk?authkey=Gv1sRgCI_DkOGy0vGEWg# for the design I've used a simplified version of this artwork & the starcraft1 mutalisk design: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://starcraft.incgamers.com/gallery/data/533/ART17.JPG) the cake: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ey1FXsdIMrw/SjFY-h1pMzI/AAAAAAAAADo/Uj1ps1Vke60/s640/HPIM4807.JPG) ![[image loading]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ey1FXsdIMrw/SjFdp3gkfzI/AAAAAAAAAEU/KAfeHwQoixo/s640/HPIM4823.JPG) My friend, Nora have helped me in the making. | ||

After much consideration and hard work, I present to you my Protoss Zealot cake! It is made entirely of cake, butter cream icing, and fondant. I also used black licorice for the nerve tendrils that come out of the sides and back of a Templar's head. It took me about 15 hours spread over three days to make, and I think the end result was worth it. So without further ado, here it is! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8355/img2646g.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8306/img2647u.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9585/img2642l.jpg) Here's me holding my sign: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9408/img2640v.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5913/img2645h.jpg) Also, the gallery of pictures is here: http://img3.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=img2622y.jpg And the pictures I used for reference were various blizzard-made pics, but the main one is: http://starcraft2.com/art.xml?s=45 Great cakes so far, everyone! | ||

We need to get 50 extra keys from blizzard for these cake people. About the rule changes, the contest is being held under TL law, not US law. So, we can change it if we wish. Seriously. But it wouldn't be fair to change it now. The only reason this came up was that we were overwhelmed by the number and quality of the cakes produced. People have seriously gone above and beyond. It seems cruel for someone to spend 3 days making a cake and then not get a key. Of course, they have lots of cake to console themselves... | ||
