Not trying to throw gas on the fire or anything like that, but the first contest is over. A winner was announced, the contest has ended, thats that.

I didn't know it was a typical part of a contest for the judges to post their detailed score cards. I thought that stuff is typically not disclosed. do the voters for the oscars and other movie awards tell the world how they vote? nope, in fact arent the identities of the voters not even publicly known? You just find out the winner, individual judges dont need to give the details behind their votes. If they want to share it in a contest like this i guess its fine because obviously the critisism can be used to better the fan edits in the future so its more of a review. But as was shown here, when individual score cards from judges are posted you're only gonna get hard feelings by someone.

So to repeat, the first contest has been finished. Some people brought up complaints, nothing can be done about those for the first contest so things are being discussed to address them in the second contest because all we can do is move forward and learn from our mistakes.

I think DAYV did a pretty good job with the contest when obviously there were issues that came up throughout that made things tough, and I think he realizes this (probably more so than those that werent involved directly) and is obviously working to smoothing things out for the next contest.
