Thanks ID for the update and that is good news!

I will admit, I never used Digg until this competition.  What exactly does this mean?

Meaning the first person to link an article and "digg it" is the only person who can get credit?

Sounds like someone needs to start a "to digg or not to digg" thread that lists all post jun/9th digg articles that are quest worthy.

Are changes going to be retroactively made to some of the previous digg submission points?

I saw digg submissions were allowed in multiples, so I went to digg, sorted by newest, and dugg a string of them.

I'm asking because none of mine were duped, but all but one was denied. Of those denied, most if not all were the same articles that other users received points for.

As an addition since it has come up several times, please do not try to get points for wishlists on both EBGames.com and Gamestop.com. Both sites are the same company and share the same database, so you will only get credit for one or the other.

i did the same. sorry for any repeat submissions; i'm just trying to make sure i've got everything covered.

I must say, we have such a honorable and honest group of players! (Well, after we are told "no!" to at least...)

Exposure, Exposure, Exposure is the name of the game.  Rule of thumb, if it helps increase exposure, they'll probably give you credit, if it doesn't and is just jumping through a loophole as many times as possible, they probably won't.

I saw Pakal_Votan was awarded points for both, so I thought it was ok. It did seem a bit odd that there was a single account for both sites.

Also, will the diggs made by Island Dog be posted somewhere around here? Or do we F5 the Digg.com search for latest Elemental posts?

I did Digg his most recent ones. Here in June, and they were rejected. And the rules aren't updated to reflect it. So it comes across as arbitrary. I was looking at it as RAW (Rules as Written.) Because the actual rules, not just what's here in the forums, don't state anything about a timeline. And as far as reasonable expectation, people participating in a contest will look to the official rules for their guidelines.

If you know what I'm trying to get across. It just seemed to be not cool that even recent diggs get no credit. When again nothing in the rules mention anything about a timeline, or your intention for that which is recent.

You can do a search for elemental, and find him as a poster, and then view his history for elemental posts by him. Which is what I did. (Mind you both Digg Articles that he posted that I dugg were rejected.) Mind you again no mention of a time line involved.

That said I'm obviously not trying to game the system, otherwise I would be reporting each of these threads that I've been heavily participating regarding the contest.

I'm just wanting credit for following their rules. It's the Stardock way, they make a mistake and fix it. They don't go after us, because of an oversight on their part. So that being said, I'm also wanting them to fix it so that others don't experience what I have. In this case. Because, as I hope you know by my passion on this, though it comes across on the negative to a side, is because I do care. I've been waiting for this game patiently for 4 years, ever since Brad first mentioned it in a Gal Civ 2 blog.

Thank you Kryo. As I've said elsewhere, this company is just outstanding.

Worth noting that things that are old and dugg will not get points as the way Digg works its only relevant for articles that are new (its kind of like a 'news' site so no one will ever see anything older unless digging through archives).

Also we will try and go through and double check old wishlists if there are errors.  If you notice something feel free to mention it and we can fix it.  

Plus the how to play scoring rules are updated as we change stuff, its probably just cached in your browser
