Personally, I can see why silly has got upset with all this, he must have spent a lot of time sorting this results show out without a thank you for what he is doing.
In the beginning he said the results show would be mid to late January so why all the impatience, its not running late yet, is it.
Give the guy a break and let him do the job we know he can do.
By the way, I agree with Tesla on the need for jury votes, I certainly think it should be entrants only, or at least members of this forum.
This EVSC started off as a fun thing, but, boy, it dont sound like fun any more...............

I was thinking the same thing about it becoming not fun.  I don't really feel bad to have gotten upset or to have expressed it, but I feel bad that everyone feels bad and I think that we should all set a time tommorow based on GMT so that there isn't confusion, and that everyone takes their clothes off for a set amount of time at that hour.  Its meant to serve as a symbolic attempt at makeup sex, and then afterward we can make a thread about it and talk about it and feel better with one another and with the competitions.  I'm thinking the thread would start off with someone saying "That was a lame idea, I just sat there.  Big deal." Everyone would agree, but then someone would make an observation that it helped them cool off in the hot weather, and then someone else would say something like "I just had been out of the shower and was wet and the AC was broken and stuck on as well as the ceiling fan so I was freezing."  Then maybe someone would say, "I accedentally let the neighbors see me," and then there could be jokes about it, and by the time it was done we'd have forgotten what we were upset about to begin with and everything would go back to the normal low level complaining that we usually have.

Can we use our webcams???  

I like your solution Dean.
But I'll probably still be at work......might cause some comments  

not from me

You're right, Taz !

I in general think that there is too much disucssion about deadlines at EVSC, though and this time in particular. I rarely get upset but this time I feel really irritated. There is a lack of clear information which is wasting my time.

As to the external juror idea, I didn't agree with it right from the beginning for fairness reasongs but as nobody commented on it I decided to humour Silly as a host. But with his permanent 'extension' of the deadline without any clear information I started feeling more and more unconfortable for this kind of behavour in my eyes equals disrespect towards others. Why can't he simply say that he's busy with other tings or that there was more work with the hosting than he expected and ask for support ?
Or is it possibly just a question of 'honour' beeing able to admit that (tipical male issue   rather getting lost in time and space than asking for help) ?

Furthermore I can't see why everybody is making such a big fuss about this G.F. ? At least I can't see  much of a difference between an ordinary EVSC round and the G.F. so far, except maybe for the mixed voting system which might cause serious problems. Some have used the old ESC voting system, some the new one. If there are unexpected problems I'm ready to vote once more.


@ MD
Don't worry, MD, I am a very straight forward person and if I've got to say something to somone I do it personally. You just followed SG's suggestions. That's all and that's completely ok with me no matter what I think about the external juror issue in general.


Howsoever I'll get back to the thread as soon as the results are out. Hopefully soon .
If there is a problem with the examination of the votes, please let me know.
As mentioned above if necessary I'm ready to vote once more. No prob.

Cheers !

I am just sitting back watching all the to and fro. Let's just get this GF over and done with and get on with our regular 3-4 week competition, please. We are half way through January already
Is it Dara's turn to host? What is the theme for the 1st EVSC of 2010? May we have that so we can be doing something that we enjoy.
I personally don't think the fun has been sucked out of EVSC

You're ruining the makeup thing though

I appreciate all that has been said here, and for that reason, I will no longer be accepting any further votes or amendments.

The make-up thing/sex has never been my thing In fact as a Libran I, by and large, avoid conflict and arguments. Unless I feel very strongly in regards to something  

I agree with you Suzi it is interesting to see all the to and fro. Some valid points are brought up.

It's kind of hard to pressure SG though. I've done similar presentations to what he is going to be doing and it isn't as easy as the ScoreWiz. It's long and tedious and every detail must be checked and checked thoroughly. Tesla you should look back on some of the presentations SG and I have done if you don't believe us.

I know that it's been a while but we all knew that coming into the GF. Remember the longer the soup is in the pot the better it tastes... (or something like that can't remember what my mum said xD)

Definately agree with Matt. The results presentations that silly have done in the past would be extremely time consuming....and the end result is always pretty impressive  

I think that some guidelines definately need to be set AND FOLLOWED in order for each round to flow more smoothly.

OMG....

Exactly Matt!!
Remind me never to win a GF because there is no way I could do the presentation. I can't even do the regular hosting throughout the year. Heheheh I had to call upon a good friend on here to do it. BTW Sillygostly and Matt and all the other regular hosts... DARA.... ...  TAZ... ... et al...THANK YOU so much for your wonderful thankless hosting jobs and your fabulous contributions throughout the years. I love this game most of all, don't let it fall by the wayside, please

HIP HIP HOORAY, HIP HIP HOORAY, HIP HIP HOORAY AND ALL THAT

Why do I get a thinking smilie?
I was never bothered by anything so I'll just keep coasting along

Don't worry, Suzi. I like to see the Grand Finale as more of a standalone "special" that I'd like to continue hosting for as long as the contest is running as I'd like to produce at least one fancy-pants presentation per year that we can all look back on in the years to come. However, if anybody wishes to contribute to any future finales in any way (be they individual items or theme suggestions etc.) or otherwise wish to usurp my hostliness, then I'm all ears.

The production process is even more tedious now thanks to HD demand. I know there has never been any specific requests for an HD presentation, but with technology and audience expectations rising as rapidly as they are, I'd like to put in the effort. The results will not go to air live this year, and I'm instead opting for a straight-to-YouTube high definition presentation.
