So, turns out I forgot last month too.

That has been corrected.

Congratulations to DanielFishman and Skell for having the guts to step up and jump into the fishbowl for the first time! Talk to Dex Stewart to get your newcomer awards!

Congratulations also for longtime swimmers Dex Stewart, Noma, and Rheb, for their 8-time participations! You can claim any one item from the Prize Pile that is marked from 8-timers - please talk to Dex Stewart to arrange your prize!

Second time, my first contest was "Death to the Death" though if I remember correctly my name was messed in the participants list... *takes a look at it*
Yes, it says "skelz" instead of Skell. Here is a link to Death to Death contests where you can see my submission being fourteenth. So that makes this my second contest (with Ugly being third, or the other way around).

Thanks for the catch; I've fixed the list.

Ugly doesn't count for these purposes - it's not an official contest.

Well yes, I meant that Ugly is my third contest ever, though as usual I forgot to phrase my thoughts completely.

I, too, have already participated in a contest:
lk) [9]
* DanielFishman (Flags of the Eighth) [1]
* Daniel Fishman (Cheap Trick, Puzzles Galore, Paper Scissors Rock, Bluffhanger) [4]
are the same person.

I hosted an unofficial Thanksgiving Hold Art contest back in 2006. The participants were Pilchard VIII, tokyokid, Elfstone, and Jason. Although there was a little confusion at the end with the untimed poll, Pilchard did win. I'd like for you to record Elfstone and eytanz as assistants, because they provided the modpoints to the winners.

EDIT: Not sure if this belongs here, as all the talk has been about official contests. But you do seem to be recording the unofficial ones, too.

Protests are usually more effective when you say what exactly you're protesting about.

Why am I listed as third place when I got second in the contest? And why are there six entrants listed here when there were eight in the contest?

Your counting hyperme twice, and Nuntar once (Who seems to be upset with the time limit. Why he didn't complain about it when it could have made a difference is beyond me). I'll fix the typo making your 3rd place now.

I would like to be added to the list as a protest in favor of the way the running of this contest was handled.

Wait, if pro is the opposite of con, doesn't that mean a protest is the very opposite of a contest?

Because I knew it wouldn't make a difference, and I still had some hope until the end that things might work out.

It does seem for monthly contests we usually don't have much 'month' to use. The middle of the month is usually when the contest show up. I've never seen this explained other than things that are excusy.

Says the guy who found time for two entries anyway. Given the nature of this forum as a place with a whole bunch of people with heavy outside schedules who don't have it as their day job, a little slack needs to be built in. While criticism's fair, you and Nuntar seem to be going a little overboard here, especially since it's only appearing after the fact.

That was precisely my point -- being restricted to a few days made it impossible to fit working on the contest around my day job.

Yes, but it wasn't until after the fact that the disparity between the entries became obvious. You may say it should have been obvious in advance, and maybe you're right, but I'm one of those fools who likes to have hope, so what can I say?

Color me confused. Everyone had the same short time limit, didn't they? How did the fact that the time limit was so short cause a disparity in the entries?

I did try to cover that point in my original post, back in the other topic... never mind. None of this matters any more now.

I was awarded the 2nd place prize twice from the Limited Room RPG contest. Can somebody fix that?
