Thanks for all the praise, everyone! It really makes all the time I put in worth it. I love the Oracle Challenge, and I have ever since I first saw it back when solar was still running it (although I didn't know who he was back then) so it's nice to see a lot of other people do to.

Also, a big thanks to King Morgoth, who did a huge amount this time around - as you may know, I've been in Ireland on business ever since day 9 of the contest, and the polls start at 5am over here. King Morgoth pretty much saved my ass by doing updates and entering predictions and all the stuff I didn't have as much time for. I'm probably one of the few people on the site hoping that the next contest doesn't start as soon as possible, since the later it starts, the more I'll be back in California for. Two contests ago, when I took over, he was basically supposed to be retiring from this, but somehow I managed to rope him into writing the website and doing all this extra work.=)

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.

Thank you!! This is the best kind of comment I could get, since most of the work I've done since taking this thing over has been about making it more organized. Of course, King Morgoth has a lot to do with that as well (he write the whole web site himself), but I had to provide that little push. =) And also, nice job for your first contest, I must say.

I definitely have more to say, and more stats, but that will have to come later...
