The sponges of our Damsels.

Come on, girls, don't argue!:smile36:
Tanya, don't even think about leaving if you're not bothered by the pleas of your fans:smile42:. Let me tell you that your departure could drastically reduce the number of viewers evaluating the contest. And that wouldn't be very sporting!
Snezinka, you got a little heated, but not without reason. Alex P's comment was indeed unacceptably tactless. He could have written to his "lady of the heart" in a private message, saying, "I wanted to vote for you, my queen, but I made a mistake! Please forgive me!" But as it is, it just looks bad.
Geksorin, it seems we need to ban participants from voting. If, of course, we want to maintain anonymity until the end of the round. The fact that forum user N voted for participant M already reveals some information – after all, participants cannot vote for themselves.

This scandal didn't bother me at all, as it's blown out of proportion... and I will participate (unlike some) in the third round!

If this is a jab at me :) - then I'm not leaving because of the scandal; I just won't be able to complete the required task. The main thing is that the contest took place, and I will gladly continue to support it and read the works of our girls!
