    Text Queen Contest Failure

    To the entrants of the queen contest:
    The main reason the contest has not been concluded thus far can be summed up in one word: Dawnseeker.

    Dawnseeker was entrusted with running the contest and finalizing the results. He has failed to do so. I learned this from someone much higher up at UMGE.

    After I talked to the "higher up" about some other, much more important business, I brought up the contest. That's when I was told the project was in Dawnseeker's hands. I asked if it would be alright for me to volunteer to help with the contest so the thing could get resolved. I was given the "go ahead" to put a fire under Dawnseeker.

    I spoke with Dawnseeker and offered to help in anyway I could. Moreorless, he was offended and only stated the "higher ups" didn't tell him what they wanted. Clearly, someone was out of step.

    I then tried to build a bridge between Dawnseeker and this other party. I tried to get them communicating so we could get this ridiculous contest over with and get back to.. well, doing absolutely nothing on these forums.

    Obviously, this didn't work as there is still zero movement on the contest front. I have not heard any word from either of them since.

    All of this is verifiable by saved conversations.

    For the community-at-large:
    As the situation now stands, the entrants are being treated very unfairly. They put themselves out there willingly; however, they did so in good faith. Out of professional courtesy (if nothing else), UMGE and its employees are obligated to ensure some measure of security for the entrants both in the game and on the forums. With all of the predicted harassment these ladies have gone thru since entering this contest and the ease at which their photos can be taken from the forums, I would say little to no consideration was given to protecting them. (An ignore function is useless when making an account for the purpose of harassing someone takes all of two minutes (?)).

    I will try one more time to contact my inside man and see if we can't get this fiasco resolved.

    For that special freak who thinks she has something on me:
    I have sympathy for you. How awful it must be to have nothing but the internet in your life.

    For the Mods:
    You have proven the moderation of these forums is dysfunctional, and I'm being generous when I say that. Some mods are great but most have no clue - new mods excluded.

    Listen very carefully, dear mods: You do NOT want to get in the middle of this one. Delete the flamer's posts and whatnot but let Dawnseeker answer for himself to the ladies he has hung out to dry.

    How's that for lighting a fire?

    I may have jeopardized my business relationship with UMGE for telling the truth here. That's fine. I have other avenues I can pursue. In the end, these ladies deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

    Thank you Kempion. For try to get this going.

    I hope something happens soon... I think this is a big problem since we all worked so hard on our pictures, and some of us (I know I was) were a bit nervous...

    That these Ladies deserve to be treated with respect and dignity is undeniable.I have stated before that any election/contest,when dragged on with no clear end in sight,will only descend onto the low roads.The bad blood is now indeed setting in,and will only keep growing,poisoning the lives of the contestants,their friends and supporters,and all else involved.I have grown to enjoy this community enormously,and I hate to see this happening.Please.One way or another.End this.

    Yeah, self-taking the pics was not fun. In general the whole thing was though.

    I really think we need to just let it go. I'm not upset by it, and I apologize to any of the contestants who are, but I feel like it's better for us to just move on and find the next thing to enjoy rather than beating a metaphorical dead horse. If at some point it officially ends, great. If not, we've all but ended it ourselves and can just be happy in the fact that so many great entries were submitted by so many wonderful women (and men *winks at vulgarwolf*).

    I would rather see us move on with dignity like true Queens rather than dragging everyone into a battle of who was right and who is owed what.

    Agreed. I say all in all, we are all Queens to our alliances and that is still the best... and the great friends we made were the big prize.

    And all queens to each other, and I think everyone who entered has gotten some fans and recognition from people for their entries. Be flattered, you all are awesome and did great jobs on your entries! Who needs an iron rake and a lion medal when we have each other? lol

    Well hello there Nesterus. ^_^

    There are a lot of things done to distract us... is it bad that I allow myself to be distracted because complaining about the problems doesn't really get anything constructive done so I may as well enjoy myself somehow? Not that I'm unaware of the issues by any means...

    Hehe, True!...

    I'm glad I mustered up the courage and posted in the contest. I'm glad everyone else did too.
