You will place 3 votes, no more, no less, no voting for yourself.

The 3 votes will be your top 3 favorites. You will be giving 3 points to your #1 favorite, 2 points to your 2nd, and 1 point for your #3 fave. Try to list it something like this for easier tallying of the votes;

member 1's name - 3 points
member 2's name - 2 points
member 3's name - 1 point

Feel free to write up any others you liked, as I'm sure they would appreciate reading their name! (your own personal "Honorable Mentions", etc.)

We will vote for a couple days, and then I'll announce the 3 top winners.

If there are any questions/problems, please post them in here and I'll answer/fix.

How long is voting going to be open before a winner declared?  Or did I miss it?

Didn't miss it. Its just another failing of the system. I personally have givin up on the contest in reguards to having any time schedule.

Maybe AgentSmith is not available...   he is the one who does this,,,,  I hope he is not sick...

has anyone seen him?

Quick someone! Render him on a milk-carton!

Y'know what? Who the fuck cares anymore? I don't! In the Terragen Forum they took 3-4 days to vote in the Oct-Nov. challenge and pick a winner!! If the Bryce Forum challenge had even been closed out within 2 weeks(a very reasonable amount of time) I would have placed second (if I count votes up to that time correctly) then as the time alloted for voting went on, and on, and on, mboncher tied me, and now I'm going to finish out of the running entirely.
     AGENTSMITH set up the vote, said we would vote for a couple of days, and then promptly dropped-off the face of the Earth for over a month, without any word even to Zhann. He does this seemingly annually now, so I guess we can expect this. I was hoping he would resolve unfinished business when he showed up again briefly, but that was too much to hope for. He didn't reply to my IM either.
    I will never participate in another challenge in this Forum, including my challenge with TheBryster. I will still go to the several other Forums I post in, where I am treated fairly and with respect. These Forums also have responsible mods.

Danamo, this may be partially my fault,  I should have counted up the votes and posted them earlier, but my regular job has keep me busy busy of late, and I lost internet access for awhile the end of Nov-Dec and could only log on at the library (which is very small in my town so it's hard to get an opening)....

Sorry about the missed deadline...you are a repected member of this forum, with a wealth of friends here, please don't leave on my account...=[

Zhann

Please don't go Danamo, this is still the best forum going, hence the reason we can go on for months without a mod. Not many forums can do that.

Danamo has a valid point here, all votes which were cast after a reasonable time (i.e mine) should be disregarded and i would like to make that request.

Oh crap!

Now I see what made Danamo so angry.
This sucks big time. I've put more hours than I can count into the Flying Scotsman Challenge, with the knowledge that I was competing with one of the best. Now it's just another project.
I'm not going to start accusing or blaming, just let's say I'm very very disappointed but NOT with Danamo. 

i can't help but feel (partly)at fault here, i thought i had voted within the timescale (ages ago), but when checking recently i saw that i had not, so re-posted. i'd like to re-iterate that my vote should NOT count. i would not like this forum to lose such an artist as danamo. i agree with his points and can understand his anger and fruastration.

January 27th and still no winner..... I too feel the fustration. And as far as I can see this challenge still hasn't been closed for voting. I know that everybody has real lives and real world issues. But simply a "voting has ended" would be nice at some point.

Dan, I really hope that you still come around here. Your ire is understandable and if I'm not mistaken there have been others in the past who have voiced fustration at the way the challenge seems to be forgotten about from time to time. Maybe, when this happens the peasants should rise up and do their own count and winner declarations. Hmmmm I think thats even happened before too.
Well I have to run off to work. I'll stop by later.

It is already Jan 27th..  what happen??  It is a little frustrating...

heck, I asked Zhann if she could close out the voting a month ago.  As far as I'm concerned any vote cast after December is null and void.  But that's just me.

The "Creepy" Challenge was delayed due to me having multiple, serious family problems in nov/dec, and in the first of jan because I was getting over the flu. I apologize for this, and will have this Challenge problem covered in the future.

donniemc0, as you wish.
