It did? I actually joked about it that on IRC

You have a source?

And btw, DAMN YOU for confusing with LUKREK.

One of the highlights of the evening occurred when Chris "wiper" Bandy won the Shelby GT from most excellent sponsors, Ventrilo. Wiper, earned by his chance at the car by volunteering his time to help the event. In fact, Wiper is a seven year veteran of volunteering at QuakeCon and currently leads our tech help desk. It is extremely satisfying to know that the we were able to give the car to someone that has given so much to QuakeCon. You earned it, wiper!

*hope this worked..!

Meh, better than some random schmuck.

Not really surprising. This stuff goes on ALL THE TIME.

Any event that does not pick the winner in a lottery style in front of everyone, and ban staff from entering is IMO deeply suspect.

They actually called "id" from the EG CTF team first.. but he was out doing an interview or something so they called the next name.

Wow, I sure would like to see an interview with the guy after being told he lost out on a 50k car for doing an interview.

Sorry, but its lame, the guy won it, this stuff happens.

holy shit, he didn't have any friends to go get him? i'd be raged 4 life. and since i'm in america i'd call alan shore and sue somebody.

nah there were people who knew him there. and i assume they tried to call him.. the thing is that he's canadian and couldn't have won it anyway.

That's what you get for winning the Quakecon tourney...

That sounds pretty fucked up tbh!

atleast it went to someone who cares about quakecon, y h8 ?

volunteer != employee

well' if they put the names of all volunteers in the lottery, whe odds of one of them winning should be quite good. I mean who else besides tournament winners got in?

And why the hell not, place will be crawling with volunteers next year if they do it again :D
