Well Cimerone- since you asked.... "So what does it matter who won!?!?!? Is this basically because the admins took the power out of your hands?" No- It's because when one runs a contest, one has to abide by local and federal laws that govern said contest. A contest rules cannot be changed midstream. A contest cannot be held claiming prizes will be given out and then none are given out or another prize substituted. A contest cannot be started and the terms changed part way through. The Rules and terms of the contest as well as the prize itself and any tie breaking measures must be in place and adhered to. Otherwise it's considered bait and switch and could possibly be illegal. Changing the way the vote was done part way through could also be illegal. It's also because in the past AOY came with significant prizes and promotions of the "chosen" artist. "Because newsflash, just because Rosity is a community doesn't mean we get to decide EVERYTHING that happens here." Newsflash for you- but they still hve to follow the Laws governing contests sweepstakes and awards- both local and federal and right about now it is looking like they did not. "I just REALLY think that this is a long and ridiculous thread full of people upset." And you just made it that much longer. "To be honest, I am sure half of you dont even really KNOW why you are upset." Nice that you know what we don't. "Someone (Mosca) started screaming and the rest joined in. It happens all the time, Im just sick of seeing it." Then don't look.
