you guys read the contest rules?? … part where you forfeit your rights to your mods upon entry to the contest, whether you win or lose? …seems shady… and game is early access , wink wink

dont intend to make an “evil” assumption, I apologize for such, but ‘you guys’ only lead me unto this deduction … communication of concern is only beneficial…
… honestly i dont care much about the game, but i modded like, every game i ever played, and i have tons of experience in the field, so i was interested in this contest,
never modded a game that was “early access”
so idk…
seems pretty crappy… i only modded AAA games i guess … patched like Months apart…
you guys modded early access games before? … its like this?
… and ive only ever participated in contests that i retain all rights to my work (have only seen 1 before that you forfeited rights… (flash game contest, so made sense due to their business structure))
… eh idk seeing how you dudes getting angry maybe i can sweep in last couple weeks and pull it out… LOL probably wont try that… but ?
yall that dont care about the contest,* I salute you!* 
modding is fun, cool hobby
^^ im becoming a little mad at myself for letting opportunity slip (and being a ‘Quitter!’) , but i think id rather focus on other things… 
… you dudes are more passionate for the game anyway… cheers!
