The rest of their wins came in 2nd or even later places.<br /> It changed my opnion on why their seemed to be the same people winning, turns out it was just my scewed perspective (and that I hate to lose) and not the actual facts.<br /> So the point to my orginal post was not to cmplain but to enlighten. </p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/top-10/page/3#post-288 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:46:31 +0000 travisdahm 288@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ <p>The stats you present are interesting but i would not say they were surprising.  It is true that there are multipe winners but the main thing to take into consideration is how many peoeple missed claiming it before the winner claimed.  For instance you will see in the last colum TheCanadianBeast truely only got first place one time, the other three wins were only because someone didn't claim the prize. Majority of the time with repeat winners this is the case. </p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/top-10/page/3#post-287 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:18:31 +0000 computer2slow 287@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ <p>Not at all surpprised.

These systems can slow delivery due to volume, spam filtering, and system maintenance. To address this we are working on new ways to notify winners other than email.</p><p>&#160;</p><p>That said,&#160;every automated system can slow down under pressure; real-time processing of data can get tricky on limited resources. We combat this by selecting the winner and notifying them first before processing the leaderboard and other details. We also record the time each winning notification is emailed to help us troubleshoot any apparent conflict. &#160;If you ever feel like there was a delay caused by Raffstar's servers that cost you the prize, let us know and we will look into it.</p><p>&#160;</p><p>- David Perini&#160;</p><p>The Raffstar Team&#160;</p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/top-10/page/2#post-250 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:38:18 +0000 izual1 250@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ of my 15, the last one was the 9th of July and they all seemed to come pretty quickly. http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/top-10/page/2#post-249 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:35:07 +0000 izual1 249@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ Oh, that also rules out spam filters. &#160;d'oh....that's all of my cheap and easy fix ideas. http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/top-10/page/2#post-248 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 19:27:26 +0000 webM0nk3y 248@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ It doesn't happen all the time. It works fine a majority of the time. So the problem isn't on my side, but on Raffstar's. I noticed that the site was running a bit slow that day.
