+ 2 EBC PUBLIC VOTING CLOSED

ad

Effective 2 PM CST public voting for the winter EBC has been closed. Much more will update here by myself or BFG.
Long story short corruption quicklly reared its head early in the voting and myself and GS along with BFG have worked to curb those actions to keep them minimized so that the Eroids family could participate in the process. Unfortuanately this afternoon critical mass came in a big way and it became to big to allow votes to continue. At this point we will hand it to the judges knowing corruption will not be part of the process and our hard working competitors will not be robbed of their due.
The process is ongoing and we will make updates here to inform you all of the reasoning in total. Who knows, BFG may even lay some bodies out for public display as to the offenders! Not my call. This is not a bad thing I think it had tk be tried and rather than a failure it is part of an evolution for the EBC to become bigger and better. A door closed, another will open as we work to bring the public into the process. That may simply mean appokinting different judges from the community as we have done with this one.

As of now my thoughts are each contestant will be judged by our judges as opposed to just top 10 from the public. I have said all along, we will deliver the best top 5 and the communiy, staff and contestants as well as sponsors can be sure of that.

Now that all is said and done, its funny but if you look at the Top 5 winners and placement it fits almost perfectly in accordance with where the community judging stars were locked in at???

Since the contestants didn't get a chance to vote on each other, can you set up a private contestant vote for a Mr\Ms Congeniality?

Is it possible to get more than just top 5? Not saying prize wise...just ranking wise.

Since the judges will have to judge all contestants instead of just 10, will the announcement be pushed back or still be this Saturday 1-19-13?

Check it out y'all. Shit happens. Things in such an intense environment with competition on the line. There will be no more talk retribution or naming names. I've struggled in the competition myself. I underestimated the veracity of competition. I've never been a part of anything like this. But tread has managed to put things in terms I now fully understand and actually appreciate. There is no going back. No more talk of who did what who said this or voted for who. The judges will not allow anyone but the best of the best to win. We have stated this before and will reiterate this promise to you all. I swear nothing will keep this from being the best EBC champ ever. Tread and I have made some evaluations of how this EBC progressed and give u all our pledge to fix and change some things that will prevent things like this from happening again. Worry not there are no two people here who care as much for this competition and the contestants more than Tread or Myself. Nothing will stop us. Nothing can keep us from doing the right thing. I've learned a lot about competition and organizing one. I've lost it a couple of times. I've never been prouder of the competitors than at this moment. U know why? Cuz if u didn't care u wouldn't give a damn. I'm refreshed and rejuvenated. Lets do this shit. Lets make this EBC something to brag about. I give u my word the judging will allow zero bias. Absolutely zero. Lets keep this thing rolling.

Wow!!! Sorry to hear you guys put all this hard work into this thing and got shit on by a few! Atleast you guys are protecting the integrity of what this community is about or has the potential of being. There must have been some seriously two faced shit going on behind the scenes. Keep your heads up gs and tread! Shit has a way of working itself out....Ofcourse with proper action. I know my name has the word cheat in it but by no means am I a cheater lol. Might have to work on changing the name lol!!!

To everyone who kept their integrity in tact during this contest, I commend you! To those who didn't, may BFG have mercy on your eroids soul!

Nice looking out! If you know who was doing it, and which ones they were, can't you just get rid of those votes and let the others stand, says the guy with the most votes! JK
I think being the first one on the list probably got me more votes than the guys on the bottom of the list though and that's not fair either.
Definitely want it to be fair in every way possible, that's why I didn't highlight my Glutes in the poses, or wear my new posing shorts I bought! LOL ;-P

Thanks for keeping us posted. As one of the competitors as well as an interested party in general, I grow anxious about the results but know that they will come in due time. As you stated, one door closes and another opens and that's fine. I know we will eventually come up with an EBC format that WILL work entirely. If that means a few eggs have to be broken along the way, so be it.

In regards to the corruption that took place. As a competitor, I would like to know who it was. As just an eroids member, I would like to know who it was. I'm sure a source, donated or not, would like to know who it was that tried to defraud the system and somehow tip the scales in their favor. I'm not talking a ban or anything, I just want these names plastered in a topic and I'm sure that person's own SHAME would drive them away from here.

All in all, regardless of what happens, I'm glad I competed. It really made me re-evaluate my diet as well as my goals. Thanks to eryone who worked behind the scenes to make this happen. It is appreciated.
