I am withdrawing from the tournament,so please remove my recordigs. The reason is that i feel that something weired happened to the last voting,i dont say people cheated,but it looks very suspicious,when the votes changes at the very last minute,and a game wich were not on the two votes list got into the tiebreak and was selected. I will judge two of the games,but next time,we should have another way of voting.

regards, Stig Remnes

I respect that withdraw... I have the same such suspiction... therefore... I think I'm going to have an unannounced deadline for voting... nobody will know what the deadline of voting is. I might give you a range... but that's about it...

Stig, While I respect your decision, the reason things don't look on the up and up, so to speak, was to the lack of updates of the voting, heck we are 3 weeks into the tourney, and it still hasn't been updated. That isn't anyone 'cheating', but a lack on non-lazyness of Gameboy, which he has admitted to. I would have loved badlands to be in, I love racing, but it didn't... Question: Speaking of racing, just went and got Al Unser Jr. racing, but it runs too fast on my 350... Anyone know how to slow this thing down?

First - I would like to mention a correction to what I said - I would mention the deadline to the Pat Laffaye when the voting period began to avoid cheating by myself...

Second - You know what we should do Chris and Zwaxy? We should make a script where it will automatically count the votes, so it's updated in real time, but games that were already played(and it's clones) would be rejected.(per the four tournament wait rule...) That way we won't have so called laziness(reason why it wasn't updated in forever is because it doesn't need to be... voting is over you see...) I don't know how it could be done...

One more thing... the stats page will not be updated until Sunday or Monday - I'm going camping with a group of friends :)

OK... I'm outta here - Catch yall later :)

Updates are good... Enjoy your weekend, gb. I never saw us put the 4 tourney rule to a vote, did we? Stig, I am sorry you feel that way, and hope that nothing that happened was taken by you personally... Hope you stay at MARP... Chris

I'll admit to being suspicious too, but I couldn't resist playing anyway. There's also a good chance the next tournament will work better, especially if Zwaxy can set a voting script up.
