On again off again, then back on then off... Well, guess what??? They seem
to be back on again - at least the oh-so organized cy core is working on the
voting site and I was told they have reorganized!!!

So, community, are you enjoying the rollercoaster ride thus far??? :o) Get
ready to start marking your ballots ---- again!!! :o)

I would like to see the Cys happen and think they should keep the top 5
nominees as originally chosen.

Protester: Those nominations are biased!
Cy Committee: We aren't aware of any bias, but feel free to vote against
those you feel are unworthy, or not vote at all.
Protester: Not all the information is there to vote for that person
Cy Committee: Then don't vote for it.
Protester: That person being on the list violates rules
Cy Committee: We are all confused about the rules. We'll have clearer
rules next time. If you think that person is undeserving don't vote for
them.
Protester: You Stink!
Cy Committee: Good thing we can't smell odours through the internet!

Regards, Justin

I did make use of the top 5 stuff, but I had to use that information in a diminished capacity. For details, read http://www.awcommunity.org/cyawards/explain.html

As for votes that were previously made before the changes, the number of them was extremely small compared to the number of votes that have been made since then... and there is still time for more votes to come in.

Also, if you already voted before the changes there is no requirement that you re-vote, since those votes were inserted into the database. If you do choose to vote again, that's okay. Just vote using the same citizen number as before. Only your most recent vote in each category will be counted.

If anyone's wondering why I jumped in to help, it's because some very influential people were working hard to destroy the Cy Awards over not getting their own way, and that's just not right. Thanks to everyone who has been supportive, including most of the people who at one time were helping to sabotage the Cy Awards but have turned their actions around.

There are still many things that can be improved, but we have tried to keep the changes to a minimum, doing only what was necessary to make the Cy Awards as fair and as representative of the spirit of the Cy Awards as we possibly could under the circumstances with what we had to work with.

The Cy Awards is intended to honor all people who contribute to the community of Active Worlds and the greater community of cyberspace, but puting a spotlight on a few people. Which people that spotlight shine on is not as important as our recognition of the fact that it shines for all of us. That's what the voting is all about, and I appreciate so many people taking the time to cast your votes... that's why the extra effort was made to assure that every valid vote would count.
