Mae Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 12pm deadline is 12pm deadline... From what I could tell, the music was already solid, so you will probably be fine with that Good luck, NutS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Yeah I submitted what I have, I don't want to feel like I'm cheating. Good luck everyone! (HI MAE!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Or submit what you have on time, so that you can meet the deadline. Then submit the finished version for consideration if he's willing to be lenient. HI I POSTED! ZOMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectorZ Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well, it's past the voting deadline, and were the votes ever close. I've tallied the votes. The yellow highlighted ones were votes that didn't count because the voters didn't vote in all matches. If someone wants to double check my work, that'd be great.

I wouldn't publicize that info yet dude, the votes are still open, it might influence votes from anyone who hasn't voted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, but the voting deadline is already past. So I would think that if someone voted past the deadline, and the votes are that close, they wouldn't/shouldn't be counted. In the meantime, I will pull the link. If there is a conflict, though (two of the matches can be changed with two votes), I always have this record to show of it, I guess.

I don't really see the harm in doing it, everybody can see the votes anyway and people could just tally up the votes themselves if they want. Voting should be closed anyway EDIT: DAMMIT SNIPEDDDDDDDDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting should be closed anyway I'll wait a little longer, and then repost the link. Here are the tallies again. Looks like someone wanted to push their luck and vote after the deadline. According to the rules, that doesn't count, so the tallies remain the same as they were up until the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocre Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Okay Official vote tally for Proto Man bracket Round 2 now up. SectorZ, you miscounted Chickenwarlord and PSpectrum89's votes as for Pixelwave when they voted for AeroZ. Guess they changed their vote after you marked them down. This was corrected for my tallies.

Draconiator Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 What are you gonna do in the event of a tie? SectorZ forgot Demko, who voted in all four matchups. And unless my calculations are wrong, that ties up Willrock/fredrikd AND Jakesnke/neblix. Congratulations are in order too. Pixelwave, YOU HAVE SLAIN A DRAGON, CONGRATULATIONS. :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could either wait for a tie breaker vote, not count his votes, or wait for darke to decide what to do next.

TGH Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I will probably do this since I will be at home all day. Just wanted to let you know that I would be perfectly OK with you taking the extra time to finish. (PLEASE finish, lol...) if he's willing to be lenient. I'm hoping this is the case.

Demko Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Demko voted after the deadline so his vote didn't count. Oh, come on. Validate my existence. Deadlines were never that strict in these tournaments if you think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlouge82 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Oh, come on. Validate my existence.Deadlines were never that strict in these tournaments if you think about it. It would have created more problems if yours were counted since it would have created two ties. It's easier to stick to the rules, especially when things were so close. When other deadlines weren't enforced in the past, there was at least some tacit waiver from the parties they affected, and I doubt you'd be able to secure that here. EDIT: Congrats to both WillRock and Neblix for advancing! Both faced stiff competition from worthy competitors, and prevailed by the skin of their teeth! Unfortunately, they won't have an easy time next round against Main Finger or Pixelwave. Good luck to all four participants, looking forward to your submissions!!

Demko Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wouldn't hurt having OCRE vote and break the tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlouge82 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wouldn't hurt having OCRE vote and break the tie. You mean completely disregard the established rules and potentially change the outcome of two matches? Somehow, I can't see that being terribly fair.

Brandon Strader Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 You mean completely disregard the established rules and potentially change the outcome of two matches? Somehow, I can't see that being terribly fair. Votes getting thrown away is why I won't be taking a part in voting or GRMRB mixing in the future. No offense to people involved, I just don't like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just quoting the rules, not making the rules. Making the rules is Darke's job. However, it's not like people didn't have fair warning about the rules in advance, so they really don't have anyone to blame but themselves for not voting in all of the matches.

Guys, GUYS. I understand why some people are annoyed with the outcome of some of these matches (if I had lost like this, I'd have been very annoyed) but its much easier and logical to stick with established rules to decide the outcome of matches rather than break them and risk changing the potential outcome of the compo. Thats what rules are put in place for, a means of settling situations like this with pre-established solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATED getting a free pass on one round, but when you have to run a competition you have to lay down some rules and go with them, otherwise things can get pretty disorganized. Even more in a competition as big as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it should be up to someone impartial like OCRE or DarkeSword to decide. Deadlines were waived when the people they affected agreed to it. That's how things work in the law, too. Since law is a familiar subject for me, here's another legal analogy why we can't do things that way: Your idea would be like an ex post facto law, which changes the legal consequences of an act after the act has already occurred. These are generally unconstitutional in American law. The law doesn't change to suit an individual's desired outcome, and nor should rules change for the same reasons.
