I hope the 2 people who are far ahead now get disqualified. You ask me why?
Runescape wanted the help from the Runescape facebook community to help them choose the 2 winners. However from what I've seen, the 2 people with the most votes have been recruiting on other sites (cat loving fanpages, deviantart pages, random friends and god knows what else) to earn votes and thus win the competition. I do not consider this to be fair, and therefore the 2 prizes should be going to the number 3 and 4 in voting.
Of course people could argue with me saying 'there was no rule stating you can't ask other people not related to RS or Jagex to vote for you', but I think it should be seen as obvious. If this would be allowed, the competition is not won on quality of the work, but on the amount of people you are friends/acquantances with and you can get to vote for you, no matter the other entries.
So please Jagex, do what's best, and let the fair players win.

Just registred a user to say that?
Wow, you must be really wanting your true identity/username to be hidden...
But exacly as you said yourself: 'there was no rule stating you can't ask other people not related to RS or Jagex to vote for you'
If it would have been obvious, Jagex would have stated the rule, im prettty sure...
PS: you actually can not control every specific person if he/she is the member of Runescape FB community on not. Only way would have been - the people who have previously "LIKED" the runescape community - can vote. This could have been easily done!
How you imagine to control who is the member of the RS community and who is not? Runescape FB has 626,230 likes.. All the voters (around 200... total) could really have been liked the runescape community ASWELL!
Im pretty sure jagex dont have nothing against getting new members to their FB community, who dont play RS at the moment, but maybe WILL.. Its like free advertise for Jagex, to get new FB community members or new Runescape players :)
I agree about the part where asking cat lovers to vote for your cat picture... It gives some sort of advantage... cause there were many cat photos..
But come on, Runescape has also a Deviantart page (OFFICIAL)!
And for the last, i dont think they should get disqualified, because Jagex chose their photos into the finals, not their friends..
And you cannot punish or disqualify owners of these photos from a competition while you have no rules at all, about voting. It is not their (photo owners) fault. Dont you agree?
Everybody can be Runescapes FB community member, you dont have to be 5+ years a member in there just to call yourself a "community member"

Just registered a username to post? May I remind you that f2p account must have reached like 1k total to post on forums?? I'm close to my veterans cape so do not attack me personally just because I have an oppinion not equal to yours.
As for stating that they shouldve put the obvious rule more clearly - it's like the "Warning - do not put your cat in the microwave to dry him" - shouldnt be necessary as it shouldve been so obvious not to do that, but due to one person's stupidity it's now on every microwave you buy here is the US.
I dont know why they did not make it not such that you have to 'like' their page to comment, but I do think it has got to do with being open to possible new players. All I'm saying that the possible winners should have just let faith decide on who would win, and not play the contest so cheap that you go advertising through various ways to people to vote for your pic.
And yes, you're right that every one of the voters can be a RS Facebook community member, but I'd love to see how many of those people who currently have voted would return to vote another time, if the entrants are not allowed to advertise for the competition anymore.

You can count on it, 99% voters, who voted for my image, would vote again... without an advertise :)
Because they support me without backstabbing :) Most of them were previously RS players and some of them still are :)
Still makes them part of the Runescape community :)
Not sure if the cat lovers are part of the Runescape community, but im certain that players who have runescape account - are!

// May i then ask what is your username? :) You must be someone who is very aware of my doings... Not to say a stalker :P So if you dont mind crack the nut?

If you're so sure about your friends posting again for a revote without yuo needing to tell them, then there's nothing to worry about :)
However, you seem to take this very personal, whilst I really don't know you on a personal level. Yes, we have mutual friends on fb (of which one of them told me about your advertising, but as a cat lover myself I saw the other winner posting it on not just 1 cat lovers page but more. I have nothing personally against you, I simply want a fair contest.
Is it fueled by jealousy? Maybe, as my entry did not make it to the finalists. However, that does not take away the competition results can not be seen as fair atm, and I'd love to see a revote.
And I'm not really clear on your last question? My Username is 3871599, my real name Hanna if that helps? I have other RS chars as well, but like I said, there has been no personal interaction between us before, the only similarities we have is a couple of FB friends and the fact that we both entered in the same competition, where you had 2 entries in the finals and me 0...
