For those that are curious, Pianomutt didnt like that Tok`ra was in first place, and deleted the 162 votes that were in the poll up to that point. When users begain complaining, he then deleted the entire competition.
So Im going to re-start it.
ANYONE is eligable for this. As long as they have played the game at some point, execpt for majorleehurts and that smurf guy from the previous competition, as they helped ruin it by crying over being in the W.Hung award running.
It will work as follows.
Everyone submits a song, or copies the link from their song from the last competition..
Once everyone has a song in (will be a few week proably) we start round 1.
The top 3-4 people from round one will go to round two.
The top two people from round two will go to the final round to find a winner.
For everyone that doesnt make the round one cut (or the bottom four if we have a lot of people submit) we will have the William Hung award, same as last time.
BY SUBMITING A SONG YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU DONT GET ENOUGH VOTES YOU WILL BE IN THE W HUNG AWARD THREAD AND WILL NOT CRY ABOUT IT.
Anyway, go ahead and start singing people.

Infact, he ASKED Bill to get an admin to check the votes for multis (something only an admin has the ability to do) but rather than do that Bill chose to delete the thread.

You expect an admin to go vote by vote, checking every ip.....also, Unlike tokra, I am not sure admins can.

Admins can.

1. People complained about how I ran it.
2. Concerns over voting multi's, yet people argued for them to be included.
3. I was only going to allow people who can accept the prizes, advance to the final round...which eliminated tok'ra.
So, I stopped it. I don't need the crap that I was receiving..have fun running it yourself
Bill
so for those three reasons, you deleted 162 votes ?
Why not just pass it off to someone else to run ?

Last I checked, the reason the ombudsman voting was done in the voting forum was because admin couldn't....If an admin wishes to verify if he can or not, that's his business. But I have to operate until what i know, not what others claim to know.

I have to say- the whole Idols was a big mess... I personally would have let it run, and changed everything in the 2nd running... lessons are to be learned, not avoided/covered up/ etc...
