Here's my views on it (I know, The D Man has a view on something and it isn't gonna be whiny bullshit) Do I feel that the rule should have been enforced? Why yes I do, why make us have to worry about people who had ways to get to fuel stations/truckstops to ruin it for the ones who read the rules/requirements. No offense to anyone who entered, the trucks this show look great and all, but next time please read, interpret, and/or ask questions before thinking it doesnt apply to you. Do I feel it's too late to turn back? No, let the ones that didnt read get a false sense of security and SEE that people voted for them.....then send em crying to momma when the ones who read/followed the rules get their spot in the leaderboards. Partly, this doesn't bother me, cause over the few years I've been here, people not reading/following the rules is commonplace so it doesn't surprise me in the least bit. Shoot me, gag me, bury me deep if you want, thats just my view on it. Jon ............two cheeseburgers please, with a side of steak fries

The only thing they could've done to be more organized is to put it in the first post, and people still wouldn't read it. From what I can see most of the people only read something once and don't check for changes anyway, so I don't know what to tell them.
Seriously, how could anyone miss that? It was one of the first questions asked about the show, and Matt posted the new rules later..
On the other hand, were there any entries that were put in before the amendments? Although to be fair those guys could have freely changed their submissions at any time.
Well that cancels out any reasons I can find for excuses this time.

By organized I meant like if they saw someone that broke the rules they should have disqualified him before adding him/her to the polls. Im not trying to start anything here, Im just throwing in my 2 cents. But as we all know in these hard times 2 cents don't make much of a difference, and neither does my opinion in this.

So why was it so hard to enforce the rule?

and neither does my opinion in this. Spot on. That rule was in place from day one. The only reason it wasn't enforced was because Dan did not want to redo the polls to enforce it. I am almost positive it is not going to be dropped. Matt seems pretty determined to follow the rules. And of course you want it dropped. You were one that could not follow the rules in the first place!!

A bunch of men arguing about the rules of a fake show in games....DAMN. This made my 4th of July even better. Let me go grab some popcorn. Seriously, why is this still going on??? Now, there shall be no more discussion of this problem in this thread AT ALL. Of you have a LEGITIMATE reason to talk about this, then send ME a pm about it. Everyone talks about following rules but yet this topic was continued for 2 more pages...

I guess all in all I am just waiting for someone to have a legitimate reason other than ITS JUST A GAME!! That is Jon's favorite excuse. It has nothing to do with the fact that it is a game or not. It has everything to do with laziness and inability to follow simple rules. That's it there is nothing more to it.

And my point is the rules were not only broke by the ones that entered, but also by the ones that set them in place. Oh well.

It has everything to do with laziness and inability to follow simple rules. That's it there is nothing more to it. Still a bunch of adults arguing on the internet.... If you wanna bitch about not being at a gas station and make rules to try to make it realistic, why not take it a step further and set SPECIFIC LOCATIONS in ALL OF THE GAMES? Have people go to the TA on the Cali map, or if they run the SCS map have them go to a certain city. For FS2013 have people download a certain map and use it since maps are a helluva lot easier to install on that game. It may be an excuse, but what Jon says is the truth...when TMS organizes a legit, working truckshow, that will be the day when pigs fly. People just don't follow rules, plain and simple. You could put it in bold and they won't follow it. I'm surprised you guys did not see this coming...then again, the Christmas show didn't go any better... Hats off to Dan and Colonel for at least trying. Maybe if all of the staff got involved it wouldn't turn up so badly....

Never thought my post would have got this much attention.
Honestly, I don't really care if your pics are taken at a rest area/truck stop or whatever, what bothered me was the fact that 1/3 of the entries broke the very first rule and they still got to be part of the show along with the 2/3 that actually did it by the book, Why even bother making a rule if no one is gonna enforce it anyway??
Maybe if all of the staff got involved it wouldn't turn up so badly....
I'll bet you the outcome would be the exact same, I remember the first show we had, hosted by Tom Saywer, I put up the voting topics and I enforced the rules, the only one people actually broke was the one about the location which for that show had to be at the TA, boy did I get alot of PM's from those who got disqualified

People on the internet are generally stupid, so I'm not surprised this happened. Sorry if I offend any stupid people by this comment.

You say that we should do the shows at the TA, but I can't even drive by it on the Interstate without getting less than 4 fps..

Wow, ok. So here's an idea people. Lets NOT TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!!! Jesus christ. The rules are GOING to be enforced like it or not. You dumbasses that didn't follow the simple, and I mean goddamn simple, rules in place so you're going to be disqualified. I will not, and I hope dan agrees, support stupidity by giving awards for being a dumbass. If you don't like it, get over it. There wasn't even a set location, it just had to be at a gas station or truckstop. How fucking hard is it. From now on can we discuss people's trucks and NOT THE RULES!? Admin's please enforce this with prejudice because these discussions are trivial at most. IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM SEND ME OR Dan A PM ABOUT IT AND DO NOT BRING IT UP ON THE FORUM AGAIN, PLEASE! Holy shit this went way to far.. The only discussions that anyone should see from here on better be about someone's pic or truck... omg, people...

There were a lot of good entries in this show. I actually had a hard time voting for a few of the classes, nice work to everyone who entered, and best of luck to all of us!

Eh, I an't gonna win anything anyway. Didn't get the trailer's lights positioned like I wanted them (even though i didn't do a night shot of the Coronado/Great Dane setup) and its over glossy in that shot. Who knows, I might be surprised
