Excellent results of this compo. Great idea and effort shocky !!!

Maybe this should be stickied? just a thought?

I'm still looking for my jaw it has dropped so far.

Truely three votes are not enough - I didn't have any left over to vote for myself...  :skint:

I wonder, is there a clear winner?

No doubt due to my entry, yes?  :P

Ditto to that

I wonder, is there a clear winner?

I think it would have been butterflies, had that not been withdrawn. Taj might win with something, cause he has so many, but on the other hand, his huge ammount of projects could cause a split in the voting. Hmmm...

That's cheating. We should do something non-christmasey for the christmas competition so ck0 can't get a head start

I'll do a Morris Dancing demo instead, in case the next competition is to do with that.

Post by: MrP on December 11, 2006
What about a custom sig, along the lines of the "Lost Entry".... Ah well I better make sure I do a real good job on the next compo..... No sweat to you Admin guys. It must be time consuming at best to run this board, never mind the fact you all work for a living to...... No harm, No foul as far as I can see...... And thanks again for more Karma.... Keep it coming peeps....

Ditto, I wasn't sure what to do with my third vote, took me a while to decide.

This is my bad. I am so sorry for this Mr.P We'll sort something out for you, I am not sure what yet.
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: Shockwave on December 12, 2006
I think that I am going to zero the polls and re-run the voting, I am very sorry about this but it's the only way I can make it fair.
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: Shockwave on December 12, 2006
I have re-set the poll. It will run for three days from now.

My sincere apologies. Feel free to give me some bad karma.

No bad Karma, Shock. You are fair and just and we love you for it.   :clap:
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: lilw4t3rdr0p on December 12, 2006

It was the only way to be fair. There wasn't really a choice but to re-poll the comp. Thanks for the understanding.

No way for bad karma!  I would even say karma up!  Yes, at least you are honnest, not trying to find any excuse...and you're fair by not hidding the problem.  Shockwave for president! :D
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: slinks on December 12, 2006
I would recomend smiting those who havn't voted for you CP. Smite them with the locusts!
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: MrP on December 13, 2006
Er, Wow.... Don't know what to say about that, just got in from work and found this.... I would have been okay with just running for the 24 hours or so, and then get stuck into the next compo, but instead you reset the poll, on the last day of voting!!!!!! I'm sure that was an awkward decision to make... I'd just like to express my thanks to all the admin team here at DBF-GVY for doing that, and to all the people that post regularly(you all know who you are) for making this board what it is.... I hope the poll reset hasn't upset anybody, and I go away now feeling very humbled......
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: lilw4t3rdr0p on December 13, 2006
Ahh, MrP, we love you too!   :buddies:
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: Shockwave on December 13, 2006
Thank you for your nice post Mr.P, it's appreciated. Thinking about it though it was the only way to make it fair and if anyone had a problem with it then I would have asked them to put themselves in your position.

I am very very sorry for this screw up, you guys work very hard on the challenges and I feel very bad that I made an oversight like this. This was totally my fault. Thank you for your understanding and thank you again for your nice post.
Title: Re: ** MATHCOMP VOTING **
Post by: MrP on December 13, 2006
No Problem Shockie.... I'm sure the error was not intentional....... And I wouldn't have, nor ever point fingers at who was to blame.... You guys run this board alongside your personal lives and that in itself should be applauded.... I've recast my votes, and since you've been so fair, i've not voted for myself and stuck with my original three votes... Well at least I think I have there's a lot to choose from on there..... Anyways rambling now, keep up the good work... Later

Post by: slinks on December 13, 2006
Yeah, people who vote for themselves really ruin it for everyone else, plus it would make things difficult for Taj and his truck-load of entries if he tried to do it!

I have been unable to decide which of my four entries to give my three votes to. Fortunately as we got two attempts, I have put that right. I had two votes left over and gave them to halls of halloween. Phew.
