MikesVikes Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I see that a winner was announced. I also see the vote count as 141 to 141. How does that work or what am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Here is the announcement from their Facebook page...no mention of how they broke the tie. If they don't award both of them a prize, that a joke...and I told them so on their facebook page. Pattons Fine JewelryWe would like to announce that the winner of our contest is "Melynda Smith" with Bella Soleil. We would like to thank everyone that participated and please continue to check our page for updates, jewelry info, and future contests. We will arrange for you to pick up your pearls at a location closest to you. Thanks again everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Here is the announcement from their Facebook page...no mention of how they broke the tie. If they don't award both of them a prize, that a joke...and I told them so on their facebook page. So, I'm to understand the winner neither understands that Bella Soleil is from two languages nor knows how to spell her own name? Melynda? And it appears that young Melanie Dunn learned to spell from her "mommey". In short, were I looking to break that tie, I would break it in a manner that would not lead to me having to constantly answer, "Yes, I understand that Bella is Italian and Soleil is French, what can I say, we had a contest to name it" Edited July 5, 2011 by detlef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Boooo..... "yay my mommy won"...little brats and there high school network. I sure wouldn't trust that store as far as I could throw a crowbar through the window. If you can't run a contest with integrity, you most certainly can't run a business with integrity.

darin3 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 My wife's comment pointing out that Bella is Italian and Soleil is French was summarily deleted by them. Weak sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Apparently they're having a 3-way runoff. Now's the time to get your votes in! We're up 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you voted in the first one, that's it? Looks like 2 more of my FB peeps voted though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBalla Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thank you to all of you that voted and asked yer friends to help by voting. Bayou Sunflower is currently leading. Seems like they already had their mind made up who was going to win. We certainly made them earn it. Keep blasting away votes if you can, I'd suspect they'll delete it asap. Thanks again.

tazinib1 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 There is a runoff???? If so, we are up 10. I blasted my FB friends for not taking the 5 seconds to vote. 2 have crawled to the polls with tail between legs. HA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Nice... One of the guys is this Italian kid who just started today. Italian is his first language. He was puzzled by the other name. "Why do they name it Bella Soleil?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBalla Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I show you're up 151-141 : You'd think there'd be a consolation prize for winning? Edited July 5, 2011 by SuperBalla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosberg34 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I see your up 153 -141 now. What is the deal? I don't see anything indicating a runoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosberg34 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Dude, I was on at midnight CST last night/this morning and you clearly won 95 -93. THERE WAS NO TIE AT ALL. I tried to leave a nasty post but it looks you can't now. What a bunch of f'n dbags. Edited July 5, 2011 by tosberg34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBalla Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Look, I don't want to just trash the place over this. It isn't my style and besides...fok the pearls I give my Darin some when he comes back through Baton Rouge :wait: . Honestly I have bought a lot of chit from them over the years, and I'll just go to the other jewlers from now on. I just got in from a vacation and I'm reading the posts now on FB. Thanks for sticking up...pretty wild stuff. I love ya'lls enthusiam to win. If you want to keep voting, I think that is the best story of revenge. These guys might be shady enough to enjoy the bad pub, because atleast it's pub. Does Bella really mean beautiful? By the way, thanks again to those that voted. As you all know, you can lean on me for chit you may need down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a buddy who owns a jewelry store and bought 6 of these as a novelty item. It's weird, he didnt sell a single one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
