perhaps there's already sence to state the date when the results will be declared no matter what? too much time has passed after all the deadlines in fact... :(

I agree that since all judges have expressed their opinions, a date where the contest should be completed with or without the missing party should be established. It doesn't make sense to make so many people wait for something so uncertain.

i think the admins of this group don't care about us at all! because it's MORE THAN HALF YEAR expired! >_< perhaps you will try contact them?

I tried not so long ago, and some people even tried to contact all the judges individually to see if they would be willing to just put out a vote for winner, but I never heard anything back from them. This contest was most likely just an unfortunate waste of many people's time.

I understand...but the fact is that I don't know the other judges and, the most important thing, *drop-asd was the only one who knows the criteria for the choice of the final winners.
She's a judge too, she's the creator of this contest, I think it's not fair to take her away the leading role of the whole thing.

Keep in mind that I'm talking just for myself :)
I wanted to make you aware of the situation, 'cause I understand your point and your impatince. :/

then i don't understand your point. you've written that other judges have voted first and now you say that you don't know other judges and you don't know how to vote... pf. it would be much more fair from your side to tell us then - hey guys, i guess the contest is unfortunately dead unless *drop-asd miracluously turns up.
it's MARCH already if you haven't noticed! and the message that you've written doesn\t clear the situation ofr me a single time.

sorry, if i sound rough but i'm really disappointed in what's going on and in your opinion guyz.

I said that I think that the other judges have voted, 'cause I already have chosen my preferences! So I suppose that the other judges have done the same thing. But I don't know who they are and I didn't talked to them.

So, would you have preferred to have no news from anyone? I understand your impatience, so I wanted to let know that you have not been forgotten, it's just that the contest can not be concluded without the presence of *drop-asd.

I want to clarify: It's not the judges contest, it's her. We can't do what we want. The judges only give their preferences, they're not involved into the organization of the contest (I think the other judges are in my same situation).
*drop-asd knows the final criteria of judgement, she knows the prizes and she's the one who's completely involved in the organization of the contest (news, journals, etc.)

It's not my role in the whole contest to do these announcements, but I spent my time doing this. So, at least, try to be kind when replying, you're not the only one who's waiting.

And, sorry if I repeat myself, I'm talking only for myself.
