I really don't think this thread was necessary to begin with... And Dental winning that can be strange as it shows that we approve exploitation of bugs in game... *Cough* invisible Man, risan swimwear outside of Risa...
But hey, you won so Congrats for that... Deserved? Doubtful, but congrats!
Perhaps it has to do with the low voter turnout. Barely a hundred players voted which could fill SFD and affiliated fleets several times over im sure. I helped create one of the other screenshots and campaigned for my friend who took it and i can say that it would be much easier to accept this as the will of the players if there had been a lot more votes.
There's certainly nothing wrong with campaigning but i don't see how any of the other entries had a chance when SFD has armies of voters at their disposal.
There's also the fact that you didn't really follow the instructions for the contest, we worked hard to create an authentic battle scene with fully canon starfleet ships fighting klingons and its ever so slightly annoying to have some strange looking alien creatures dancing in front of a disco ball come out ahead. I don't mean to imply you didn't put any effort into the screenshot at all but it doesn't differ much from your usual pictures except that it technically takes place in a PVE queue.
So, playing loose with the rules, apparent favoritism from the DEV's, very little creativity or originality, engaging in behavior commonly considered trolling by most of the playerbase, and winning with a very small amount of player votes.... You might see where the frustration stems from. If you'd taken an authentic battle screenshot things might be a lot different.
I try not to beat y'all up, for one thing it's like kicking a disabled person which isn't really fair and second because i can be an TRIBBLE too sometimes. The difference is, im not in denial about my behavior and I try to make amends when i TRIBBLE up.
All of that being said, i believe everyone deserves a second chance and although i cant speak for everyone im more then willing to give it. But you need to ask first.
It's more then possible everything thats gone wrong between SFD and the general playerbase over the years has mostly been misunderstandings, maybe you just didn't realize how your actions were being taken by others, but you seem to have more or less gotten a better grip on social matters in the last couple years.
However, changing ones behavior isn't enough you still need to make amends. Now theres nothing at all wrong with having a carefree goofy attitude while playing games and im sure most people here might join you in that, but theres a line between being silly and being a troll. Some jokes should only be made in private.

Pretty sure no one from our fleet has asked for your forgiveness, or from the general playerbase for which you don't speak.

null Just another loser disgracing his fleet by being so rude. Thank Q that Starfleet Dental's strict recruiting standards mean outbursts like this never happen and enough creativity is fostered to handily win these contests.

Now now now there's no need to insult people ... There reason this contest turned salty was not because Dental won... It was because this thread was created to shove the winning in other people's face, even if it was not intentional. This resulted in players voicing there opinions towards it, however Dental in it's almighty omnipotence came in and posted their pride over their Fleet... Which imo comes across as having an ego so high (nothing wrong with having a healthy dose of ego towards oneself and ones fleet) that just makes you come across as a troll and really immature...
Also just because someone voted for a fleet that did not win does not mean they are associated with it... It was a public voting after all...
So next time let's try not to insult those who are voicing their opinions and let's bring down our ego a tad bit lower to not come across as immature people...
As for this thread... Wow so much salty people from both sides Dental and Non-Dental (myself included)
Can we get back to topic now?!?! Congratulating Dental for their win, even if we don't like it!?!?
It was a bit unfortunate that the contest was only posted in the news section. I think we'd seen a few more entries it it had been posted or referenced in the General Discussion or Art sections of the forum.
Maybe something to consider for the next event, @ambassadorkael#6946?

Congrats to the fleet who won the contest.
