I've had a hard decision ahead of me with this contest.

It has basically turned into a race between branduin and Stewdio to see how many friends they can get to come to the site and pick their entry.

This was not the point of the contest - the point was to find the best haiku about Surpass.

The problem is I never set rules against this or that. And that is completely my fault. But there is another issue that makes this harder. I admit it is easy to get entries for contests when we have them, but usually when it comes to voting time it is hard to get votes. I do not really want to email the entire forum about voting because I like to keep emails to a minimum and reserve them for bigger announcements.

Although this may upset some of the contest participants, I have decided that our staff will vote on the best Surpass haiku. This is how it should have been done from the beginning and this is how all other contests like this will go.

When there is not a good amount of votes spread out for all the entries, it is not fair when a race between a few participants becomes the deciding factor. That is simply just not how it should go.

Feel free to send me a private message about this, I am closing the thread.

Thank you for participating and we will know the winning Surpass haiku by Monday and announce the winner.
