Re: ESC 2013 RANKING GAME (ROUND #14 - DEADLINE: 17th APRIL, 23:59 CET!)
The post with the results is edited and the results themselves are fixed - http://www.escunited.com/t9265-75/#post982077
There was another mistake in the scoreboard, and that was fixed as well. Now, I honestly hope everything is ok. Do not forget that mistakes can always happen unintentionally, and don't forget to contact me as soon as you spot one. It is very easy to make a mistake and it happens sometimes. But be sure that I will always correct the results as soon as I can.
I will use this occasion for something more as well. I will not individually reply to some individuals here because I think it is not necessary as their posts have shown who they actually are and I don't have anything to add there nor will I set myself down to their level and reply on those things. However.......
Even though I do understand when someone is angry when the mistake happens, as I actually think it is a natural reaction and I would probably react the same way, some things that I have read here have severely shocked me and disappointed me at the same time. I seriously cannot believe that those things are what I get for everything that I have done here and for all the free time that I am eliminating in order to make everyone pleased (which is my first goal all the time). And that is what I get for easing all the rules almost to the maximum degree as well in order for everyone to feel comfortable. I guess those things were meant to mean "thank you". I even count the votes that came after the end of the deadline and then I get to read that I am fixing the results intentionally and that I live in my own illusions.
I see that I made a terrible mistake with that, and I promise that those things will change starting from this round and this moment.
It is obvious that there are people who were just waiting for my mistake to happen so that they can create all this circus on the previous pages. I would actually understand such behavior if I myself acted unfair and biased, but I was actually flexible 100% and I was always full of understanding for everyone, including the people who don't bother to read the rules.
Also, I am personally barely functioning for some time and I have many things on my mind that I barely cope with. I have never complained to anyone about my personal problems, and will never do so. On the day when I announced the results I didn't even have time to browse one section of the board properly, but I still sacrificed some things and didn't want to disappoint anyone with prolonging the results presentation, which could have happened, and which somebody else could have done if he was in my position. If I can have so much understanding for everyone, then I really hope that some individuals can at least have some minimal understanding for me as well and that is all that I need.
Because I learned something from mistakes as well, I officially inform you, that the rules will now be followed 100% strictly and all people who don't follow them will leave this game. No more double votes will be allowed (changing of votes), no votes after the deadline, no posts with illegal votes will remain in the topic and no spam posts either. Everybody who break the rules will be sanctioned and removed from the game. And whenever somebody gets banned from the game, it will be noted in this topic, and the first post will be updated.
What is enough, it is enough.
