From: King Morgoth Posted: 8/2/2006 12:25:40 AM
And of course, a huge thanks goes out to our amazing contest runners, Kaxon and King Morgoth. I really enjoyed this and appreciate the work you had to put into it to have everything run so smoothly. I can only see this contest getting bigger from how well you run it, so if you ever need it, I and I'm sure a lot of people would be more then willing to help out =).

Bigger is better! More work but better! We'll still improve a few things so it should go even smoother this summer.

Thanks you two. =P

I just noticed on the individual user pages, in the "best 10 predictions", scores are still listed as if Zelda won with 51.01%. Not sure if that's something you haven't got around to yet, or if it just got passed over, but I thought I'd mention it.


The technical detail is complicated, but that page uses a different table from the database (since I didn't have time to fix that page when I rewrote all the coding before this contest) and Kaxon will patch it whenever he wakes up...
Kaxon, Daily info, once again, is screwed up. It's missing the last update, I fixed the results but not the daily standings. Figured you'll notice but that way I'm safe.

And thank you to you guys running this. While I love statistics, I don't know any coding to do something like this myself. I'm impressed with the organization on the site and the speed that everything gets updated. It's very well done, and what kept me coming to this contest over a couple of the other ones I tried my hands at, which were not as organized. I look forward to the next contest, and I hope my lack of knowledge of some characters doesn't pull me down too much.

We've been working on building this whole thing for a year now so it's starting to look good. Some links are still dead, hopefully I'll find some free time before the next one starts! Thanks for the praise too!
