Hey guys. So, unfortunately, this isn't an update on the competition. Remember, you have until the 17th to cast your votes.
But what is even more unfortunate is why I'm having to update.
I'm updating to tell you that I know what you're doing. I know that you are voting twice, using the anonymous review system. You vote under two different usernames. You will vote under either your usual username (anon, or account), and then vote again, under a fake anonymous review.
And to everyone who knows that they have cheated in this way, I know who all of you are. And none of your votes have been counted. Not even the ones under your real usernames.
Now, unless you didn't realise, you should know that doing this is really unfair. Its just shallow. Its ruining what is supposed to be a fun competition, and making it into a big joke. well, I don't find it funny. It stresses me out big time.
Come on guys! You may think that you're "beating the system" but you aren't. I know exactly how to tell who's cheating. I'm not going to tell you how, but I am going to tell you that I always know who is cheating.
To all the people who've been fair players, thankyou so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. I can't express how thankful I am in words alone.
Regarding the cheating, The only thing I can do to stop it is disable the anons from voting in the final round. I don't want to do this, because I know that there are a lot of anonymous reviewers out their who want to vote in the final round of the competition, without cheating.
So I'm giving you all another chance.
If I see any more of this cheating, the next round of votes will only be open to people with accounts.
Finally, please don't submit your votes on this chapter, but you can review. If you want to vote, it has to be a vote on the second chapter. I won't count votes submitted to this chapter, to avoid confusion on my part. :)
Oh, and one person asked if she could submit a different vote every day. No, you cannot.
Hope you all have a great 4 days until I update with the finalists :)
Oh, and to anyone who is thinking of cheating, please don't. Not only for my sake, but for the contestants sakes, and the anonymous reviewers who want to take part in the final vote.
