ODT3

[Razzmatazz]

I will have to pull out. I think that it was just bad timing for me. Had to finish off a semester at school and just finishing up exams. I should have pulled out sooner.
I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Hello everyone, just a reminder: This Saturday is the final day to submit a model, Sunday polls should go up and then on February 9th the polls should end.

Arrrgghhh!!! Could we please extend it a week?

[shortloldude]

If it were solely up to me, I would be in a tough position trying to decide. Just last round multiple people were disappointed with extending the length of the round, and some people still did not even submit a model. Thus, my first instinct would be to say no...but I would really, really rather not do that. I guess if anyone else has anything to say about extending the rounds for a bit, speak up (and quickly hopefully) and we can go from there.

Again, I would rather not have to exclude anyone, but I do not want to extend the rounds either because of last round. Perhaps next round I can increase by a few days and see how well it works out.

I would like to say that I don't think it is that hard to design and fold a model in 20 days. I'm honestly sick of things getting delayed. It just gets confusing and annoying having the deadlines being changed...

[chesscuber98]

I think its perfect. Unless too many people want to do it the deadlines shuldnt be changed.

[shortloldude]

Sorry Fluffy, it looks like the deadline will not be pushed back unless a lot of competitors respond before the deadline that they want it pushed back.

I have a question: is it morally okay to vote for yourself? Just out of curiosity since I know some members will be tempted to do so.
(For the record, I haven't.)

[loganorigami]

I am also wondering this because if there is one vote between two people at the end of the round and 1 person voted for themselves it would be unfair. Maybe it would be easier to make a rule that everyone nuts vote for themselves (I also haven't)

[shortloldude]

Hrm, why not just vote for who you honestly think will win? I do not really see a problem with voting for yourself if you want, since your opponent has the exact same choice. Who you vote for should be entirely up to you.

[Harpseal]

CowBurger didn't post anything by the deadline ( which I'm assuming didn't get pushed back), so do I win by default like you said would happen a few pages ago( I think?) sorry, I'm Reading everything, just not posting.

hay guys not trying to be discouraging but I predict that ShuaiJanaiDesu will win the ODT3!

[Langko]

Please don't put me in the losers bracket... I quit the compitition.

hay guys not trying to be discouraging but I predict that ShuaiJanaiDesu will win the ODT3!

I agree with you

[OrigamiGeek]

Langko I was very hard between you and ShuaiJanaiDesu I would say if there were two winners you would be the second

[shortloldude]

Hello everyone, today I have to look through and see where the progress is with each poll, if I am remembering correctly there was a poll or two that started a bit late. Once the polls are done I will create the brackets and deadlines for the next round.

I want to propose yet another rule, please do not go to each forum post and remark on the models, keep it to flickr or PMs. I certainly do NOT wish to know if you voted for my opponent or myself, although if you like my model I do not mind you saying so OFF the forum. Also please keep winner predictions to yourself, I do not like personal favorites to show through as it can be discouraging to the rest of the entrants.

Finally, I think this should be the last tournament with a loser bracket, quite a few of the topics were not created and several people have just plain dropped out instead of continuing.

If there is opposition to any of my points, please let me know. Nothing is final without the people actually competing agreeing upon this stuff. Also, congratulations to everyone who has progressed to the next round!
