Alright guys, some bad news. 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.

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
Bungie isn't hosting this contest, it's just a fan-based contest that Gnome and some other people are hosting. Bungie has nothing to do with this.

They're either judging or they don't care.

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.

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.

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.

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 ? :(

Naw, there should still be prizes.

I'll PM Leche and see right now.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

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.

Ok, so I know this video isn't bungie related, but I kinda wanted to get feedback on it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0YieNeBnqiE

One problem with a poll - there's too many videos. A poll can only have ten options.

Unless, a poll is created for the final round? Or even fith or sixth if there's so little many videos. We could vote and the judges could...judge also. Or just one or the other.

Just don't expect it to be next week when we give who won, please give it some time. I honestly have no idea when I'll get a chance to look at them, and I'd like to hear from Gnome as well. I guess I have some time to look at them over the weekend, so I'll do it then.

Definitely won't be tonight, I have a pounding headache and ate some bad sushi.... really bad sushi.

That's what the PM system is for. I agree; the Septagon could move a bit faster.

There really should not be any judging until Gnome updates the list. There are a bunch more that were posted between the initial update and the end of the contest that were never put up. Has Gnome even been on for the past two weeks?
