Arent the Tempmas results out yet?

[EnnEss]

Today is December 26th and the Tempmas results were supposed to be out yesterday...

What's going on?

Is there a delay?

 

[Sterling]

So....any chance we'll see results this weekend?

The cake is a lie. Tempas doesn't really exist.

The cake is not a lie, and the results (I would hope) will be out on new years.

 

[deishido]

although saying this may cause a panic...

HAPPY NEW YEARS! \o/



...and still no results...

Yeah, it's not like the persons who judge the entries don't have a social life or so.
They are probably still partying now.

I happen to have a social life. I have partied in different places between the 24th and the 1st, and did a fair amount of drinking and going out. Irregardless, I still managed to read half a novel in this timespan, doing my reading before going to bed.

This "omg life" excuse has gotten old, nothing takes this long. Either something went wrong or somebody's being a primadonna.

Well I am not sure about nothing...

Remember that post by mthrnite back on the 27?

Sorry it's taking so long. Votes are counted up, so that part's over. We've got a couple of behind the scenes things to do before we can announce though, and some of the staff is busy with real-life holiday stuff. So bear with us, and accept our apologies. It won't be long now.

edit: oops, votes are mostly counted. Hey, it's the holidays, y'know how it is.

That means, that if he was telling the truth most if not all votes were counted by the 28. I am not ragging on the staff at all because I know they are busy, but MarkDarkness is right. If all the votes were counted by the 28, what's holding the announcements back? If it's not the votes, is it the suppliers (well that is just a guess)?

^ This is right. i actually argued in the defence of them on the 29th but its now the new year and like im sure many of you iv had family parties around christmas and i went out drinking yday and theres still not even an official "sorry were delayed" announcement"

i figure either:

1) one of the emails for the comp had its entries deleted or lost making it void
2) the supplier didnt come through on the deal and there is no prizes (which if true needs an announcement)
3) some or all of the people involved in judging the comp took the prizes themselfs
4) they need all of the "judges" online at the same time so the winner can be discussed properly

iv put those in the order i think is likely whats happened but whatever the case is someone needs to answer whats going on once and for all in a OFFICIAL Announcement on the main page to just explain if something has gone wrong or if its just taking longer than expected

You can mark out the 3rd choice, because I believe the GBATemp Mods are judging the entries, and I believe the mods are trustworthy.

yeah, the staff should be reliable

but anyway, complaining in this topic won't help much
believe me, time goes faster if you don't think about it all the time

Lol I have been thinking about it since I entered. It's really tough to forget about the contest (that has been delayed or something without announcement). There are tons of great entries, and I would like to know. It's really eating me (it's just because I am that way...

).

Though I really need to win a DS (to actually own one again), I'm in this much more for the competition. I am really, really anxious to see how my entry fares against other entries, and being able to read/see/listen to them - there's nothing cooler than seeing the effort of such a diverse amount of people focuses on a single thing... to anybody who likes art, this is heaven.

Given the circumstances (no announcement as to why they havent stayed true to a deadline they themselfes set) can you blame for thinking the 3rd choice? i mean lots are people are making justifyable excuses to why its been late but lots of mods and admins have been online this week. it only takes 1 to explain there is a delay to put everyones mind at ease and assure them it IS coming

I can't blame you for thinking that, but the staff here have in the past (from what I have heard, and my experience) always honored the contests with the promised prizes. If the supplier has not held up their end of the bargain, then I am sure a staff member will let us know. Until then though, we'll keep complaining, maybe it will elicit some response.

This tread is pointless and needs to be closed. They will announce it when its done. That's all. No amount of complaining or speculating is going to speed them up (if it were me it would make me stall). What is the purpose of this thread? No one is getting help or advice (what this forum is for) and everybody is arguing over something no one knows anything about.

 

[Ace Gunman]

The results are delayed for a bit because of some complications. We'll announce them when we announce them, just be patient.

Well the point is now, we need a staff member to make an announcement pointing out why the results are slow in coming (or never coming). And why close this topic, when it keeps all the complaints in one place, and maybe the staff will see? If you notice the forum is not just about giving advice, it's also about discussion.

EDIT: Well a staff member just replied (thanks Ace

), but the point still stands that this is a topic for discussion .

-Deleted- thanks for update ace altho it was still kinda vauge

O.K. the discussion part I get, but the complaining? The results will be posted when they are done. Why distract them with a thread about posting the results? Instead shouldn't we leave them alone so they can spend their time getting us those results instead of reading this? There are complications as they have stated more than once which may not be their business to discuss. Patience... If you wait they will come...
