Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rasyr" data-source="post: 2941554" data-attributes="member: 2855">Several different things going on here.1) My first post in this thread was a questioning comment. 2) My later posts were in response to those who answered my first post, most specifically Joe since he responded to my first query.3) My question(s) (and the responses I received) have fully led me to believe that there is quite possibly a serious flaw in the awards process. 4) As I stated before, I don't expect anything to be done. I am not asking that the judge vote be redone or anything along those lines. However, the issue I pointed out IS a topic of conversation here. A topic of conversation between the participants. Nobody is asking Dextra to comment, nor do I think that they are expecting her to. ( I know that I am not, on either account).5) Also there is the fact that if problems and issues are not brought to light immediately (even if there is nothing to be done about them at the time), others have a tendency to treat the issue as if "well, if you thought it was important, why didn't you bring it up then". I have had this happen to me too many times in the past that if I see something I think is wrong. I WOULD like to take a moment to thank all of this year's judges, they have done an excellent job. And, Hellhound, I think that you might be exaggerating how much time you actually get to spend with Dextra. I have been involved with awards before as a judge so I know how much time that can consume. Dextra is the coordinator, and thus likely spend 10x as much time on them. She is doing a herculean job, and should be heartily commended for it.It has also been brought to my attention that some folks may think that I am "working this issue" that I have because Cyradon was not nominated. I want to refute any such thoughts right now. Heck, I am proud that Cyradon received an honorable mention. And it took me 3 different times looking at the announcement flyer before I even realized that Cyradon had been honorably mentioned. The first time I looked, I saw Shackled CIty as a nomination under Best Adventure, and then when I saw it again, I didn't finish reading the rest of the the Best Campaign nominations before coming here and posting my question about it.I saw that product being nominated in two such vastly different categories, it looked like a problem to me. I still think it is a problem, not with the people involved, but with the processes. Processes that are still evolving. Therefore, I brought the issue up here in this thread (also partially due to #5 listed above).Hellhound, if I had thought that this was a problem that Dextra needed to deal with now, I would have emailed her directly, not asked about it here. I apologize if my questions/comments have caused her grief.</blockquote>
