As I told The greater Vakolicci Haven over telegram I can be removed from this contest as it - and contests past - is not about who has better writing or role-playing abilities but who has more friends willing to vote for them.

You're more than welcome. That thing has been running forever. It was well established when I briefly participated in 2005 - nearly a decade ago - before I re-founded this nation. If that doesn't demand some form of recognition, then, in my opinion, nothing in II or P2TM does.

I thought Lanos was facing Rethan.

Yes and no.

Unfortunately, the very nature of this competition means that some people are overlooked, and some of those who have written very well might have been missed.

It's finally up between Marquesan and New Etom

The match will, unfortunately, be shortened in order to keep on schedule. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused by my loss of an rp sample, and I shall ensure it never happens again.

The sad part about this competition is that there are so many good players that deserve to be nominated, but we're allowed only so many nominations, so those deserving fail to achieve queue. Needless to say, there is always next year for you and Padnak to receive nominations. You're both talented, so don't let that talent go to waste. :)

He was saying that they only got 1 Nomination. Not that they were only allowed one. He probably just used the wrong word. in TG's with a friend on here, we discussed that there were many others who should have been nominated that didn't. Mainly because, while they do still RP, many of the newer nations don't know their names.

P.S.
You should also, as I suggested before, somehow highlight the names of the winners of each of the previous votes for those who missed the votes on them.

Greetings;

In order to not unfarely disadvantage either participant (Marquesan or New Etom), their matchup will end at 8 A.m. tomorrow. Consequently, the matchup between Rethan and Lanos will end at the same time, as opposed to my earlier plan to end the matchup between Marquesan and New Etom a few hours early in order to keep the time schedules the same.
