so, next time, I won't vote at all... or I'll vote at the very end. I also advise Ada and Sverdch to do the same, so that there are no more such scandals...
Damn, I'm tired of them making a mountain out of a molehill, like children...

New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?

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!
Snowflake, 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 something like, "I wanted to vote for you, my queen, but I made a mistake! Forgive me generously!"

I want to make amends! I wasn't saying that I voted for the wrong lady; I just mixed up the number! I simply pressed the wrong key! And I definitely didn't want to offend anyone...
And finally: stop arguing, let's respect the organizer of this tournament and their efforts!
"Guys, let's all get along!" - and I'm saying this as a demon :D
Yeah... There's really nothing to say. Now I'm even thinking that it would have been better if this contest hadn't happened. In general, it should have been forbidden for the participants themselves, as well as their relatives, to vote!!! Otherwise, it seems that many knew who they were voting for.
Do you even think: is there any sense in these words?! It feels like there's no one else to vent their emotions on. It's quite funny and just STUPID!
And I'm not a person, and I wasn't offended? Unfortunately, you do this with an enviable regularity - maybe without even realizing it! I'm tired of justifying that you're not a camel... In general, I'm not sure if I'll participate in the contest further...


So, Hexorin, my advice to you is: if you want objectivity and fairness in the contest, do everything as you did in this stage, so that everything is as anonymous as possible. And so that the voting is based on "I honestly liked this more," and not on friends/acquaintances.
Yeah... but based on the content of the works for the upcoming third round, you can also easily guess who the author is, especially based on their affiliation with a faction...


P.S. Yurka, next time don't throw your sister under the bus; if you're forbidden from voting for a beautiful sister, then just close your eyes and click somewhere with the cursor. Or just don't vote at all.)))
Don't worry, everything will be arranged as perfectly as possible. If, of course, Hexorin listens to my little idea, which probably won't be to everyone's taste. Hexorin, maybe you could PM each person the Castle they should represent, and they can describe the battle? And you choose the Castles yourself? (just so the voters don't guess)
