when do we get the results?
Oh man - I'm really sorry, I should have sent those to you... :\
I know everyone is anxious to see who the winners are but after checking the entry list, I just couldn't find your name anywhere... I looked and I looked but I didn't see "Skatomoutsounos" among the competitors at all...
"I know!", I proclaimed with great glee, "he must be a judge!"
But alas... I checked my list of judges and I couldn't find your name there either... :(
I don't remember PMing you with info on the judging process... I do forget things a lot though...
"That was probably also my fault", I said with a resigned sigh...
Skatomoutsounos, what's your other screen name? I'm assuming that you were using another alias because when I checked http://skatomoutsounos.newgrounds.com/, all I found was some text that says: "Still hasn't contributed anything to the site, so here's an advertisement:"

Still hasn't contributed anything to the site ????
"That's just not possible!" I thought to myself.
How could someone, who is obviously brimming with anticipation, not have contributed anything to this site?
Hmmm.... dilemma, dilemma...
Well, I guess we've all got some explainimg to do... I suppose I should contact all of the judges and ask... no... demand that they justufy their salaries... After all, we've only got 150some-odd submissions that all need to be fairly judged through several rounds ranging from the first-pass to weed out crap to the finals where a winner will be chosen...
Obviously they are all a bunch of no good slackers... it's been almost 4 days and they aren't done yet...
The nerve...
...
Oh wait-a-sec-there-sport, I remember what happened now...
There are no salaries, no compensation, no remuneration, no prizes and very few "thank you"'s for the people who willingly give up a nice chunk of their personal time to do things like prepare lists of entries and judge and coordinate and plan... You know, all of those things that are necessary in order to make this whole thing work.
And for some unknown reason, my mind keeps wandering back to a page that says "Still hasn't contributed anything to the site"
