[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Senor Leche I would judge but I'm particularly in love with a certain members videos. I watch them daily.[/quote]Aww gee, you're so kind! =D
-
awesome, I though we'd lost you guys... good to hear from you.
-
Thanks for the update Leche and Butane! Now I'm getting anxious again....once again good luck to everyone! :)
-
NO. All of your hard work and talent was for naught. Bwah hah hah. Just kidding, of course we'll still give you guys prizes. We need to hear from Gnome since this is his little love child. I don't think it will be too big of a deal if we need to find new judges since The Seventh Column Contests is all about fans running contests for the fans. The results might end up taking longer than originally planned but the end result will still be that this contest was/is a hell of a lot of fun. I would judge but I'm particularly in love with a certain members videos. I watch them daily.
-
Naw, there should still be prizes. I'll PM Leche and see right now.
-
Well if the judges don't have any time I guess the least biased way is to set up a pole and vote. Though...will there still be prizes or did we just waste our time ? :(
-
Is there any way to set up a vote or something on another thread? Then everyone would be able to have a say in which vid wins and the responsibility would no longer be on a few people's shoulders. If not, I think it's time we had some people from the forum volunteer. No offense intended to the people who made the contest, it was a good concept, but apparently it is not working out so good in practice. PS: 4th post.
-
Ok, I guess there should be an explination. I honestly don't know what has happened, I haven't heard from any of the other judges about what we were supposed to do about judging. ODST said he pretty much retired from B.net, spartacus14... um, I have no idea, Gnome only has a dial-up connection, so it can be very hard for him to watch videos at times, and I have started college and have just completely run out of time to do anything. Not to mention that my connection sucks as well. I'll try to get some people to judge ( if anyone wants to help, then please speak up), but at this moment, don't expect anything soon. I promise I won't forget, but its going to be awhile unless I can get some new people to judge. Look, I'm sorry this happened, but sometimes we just can't help it.
-
I already watched and personally judged every video, how long does it take for them to do this. I didn't even enter a video, but I'm a crazed fan for this contest. This seems very unprofessional.

I've practically got no time on my hand anymore so i'm done with this contest. There are other judges who are invloved but I've not heard anything from them so I really dont know if they're even judging this anymore. We did start judging but we havn't gotten far. All I can say is be patient...or if you're really anxious, message them and ask'em if they're even still around. I'm just stating what I see....Gnome will make the final say to this matter whenever he finds time. As for me, this'll be my last post. Take care. -ODST1125[/quote] oh not cool, not cool, hopfully we will hear soon :) Edit: bungie dont for get about you customers (the ppl that put you in a job) im trying not to be angry but its just fustrating that we have done all this work and then you give up on us but its ok cos the reason y you have is cos u are working on HALO 3 and its going to PWN!!!! so its ok bungie WE LOVE YOU :P[/quote]Bungie isn't hosting this contest, it's just a fan-based contest that Gnome and some other people are hosting.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Douglas Brown I started messing around with WMM, and I got up to a drink, and when I came I back I tripped over the dog, spilled the milk (I shed only a few tears), and ran into the keyboard. Somehow, that made a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_HgYF5pj80]a very short video clip[/url]. Yes, I know I'm too late for the contest. Like I said, it was an accident.[/quote] Awesome song

lol why is every one panicking. Gnome said this a while a go [b]Problem: I have "Misplaced" (Deleted) my version of the list and with it my update. So while I rebuild that the update is on hold, I'll try to post it Soon™[/b] then he said [b]Its starting to look like the list won't be updated until after the contest ends but I will try my best to get it up before that.[/b] so i think were ok

Due to laziness, I probably won't get my PAS flash finished. I've only got 3 hours work left to do on it, but to hell if I can be bothered when I've got something even more kick-ass (Not video wise) on the way. I might even make a post about it sometime soon. >> Kritz

then y is this topic nolonger pined have they decided to give up :) just jokes looking forward 2 new bungie :)

Don't give em such a hard time...maybe they are judging the entries and will post an answer when they are done. Most people have submited at least three videos and it would really be a long task to judge all of them accordingly. Just give them time...
