It might be a sweet cannon, but its not sweet that you just quintuple posted in an obvious attempt to get more posts... I don't think that will go down so well with PCGUY...

Like pcguy said, just submit it. If you have made a decent effort to contribute to the forum discussions in your posts so far, you should probably be counted.
As for your quintuple post- as least edit them to say something useful. It was stated in the first page of the thread that crap like that will get you disqualified.

I know that the 50 post thing is a pain but PcGuy is giving a leway to that. Meaning a good effort might get the submission to the contest but nagging and whinning won't help. I was always told "Good things come to people who wait" take your time and do it right, it took me about 2 to 3 months to get mine done. Studying and asking ?'s to help in the building of said cannon and any future cannnon is a must. I still ask if I have no clue just don't make the ?'s meaningless, then you'll look stupid. I'm not yelling or anything but come on grow up.

cash don't you realize you will not be competing in this competition?

You have already disqualified yourself from making it very obvious that you are trying to get 50 posts. Just wait till the next competition, this competition started over 2 months ago you can't jump in on the very last day. If this was 2 weeks before the deadline it would be different, but instead you jump in on the actual extension I give from the original date.

Yes your cannon appears very qualified, but I can't allow you in breaking the rules of the contest without letting everyone else in too.

Sorry.

But then 10hours later in this topic:
http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/viewtop ... html#83327
You double post and tripple post in the same topic.
You still havn't learnt to edit your post and if your trying to build up your posts goodluck with that because at this rate im sure a mod will start taking them out like flies.

And incase you didn't see it the first time this is the magical button to make all your xmas's come at once.:

That's because I already had 50 posts, and I don't trust typing in everything important liek that when the deadline is at 12pm. I posted it to get the information up, but now that you mention it, it does look rather disjointed. I will edit it now and compile them to fewer posts.

It doesn't matter if you have 500 posts, we still don't like double posts, it's not a rule just for the competition, it's a forum rule, don't take this the wrong way, just keep that in mind.

@cash..When I made that comment about unworthy guns..I meant someone who just wanted to throw a crappy cannon into the contest..I didn't mean someone who has a great gun like yours..Sorry if you misinterpreted it..I didn't mean it that way..Sorry

Dude just chill out though..I totally see a ban coming for you if you don't stop

I didn't understand your definition of 'double posting'. Where I come from, DPing refers to a server error, and we always reply to each other seperately, to avoid confusion. I'm sorry I did not know what you meant, but please don't let this differnce divide us! Now that I know I will post like that from now on! I just didn't know what you were talking about!

It's cool, I just wanted to point out that I'm not trying to submit a crappy gun. That's all.

K I have a great idea....PCGUY why don't you just lock this topic before it gets supremely out of hand??

So just a suggestion PCGUY...seems like it could get really out of hand..
