The holidays really swamped me, and the new year back at work hasn't helped. Oh, and one of our judges decided to just... not judge the maps. So there is that. Anyway, I'll get the contest stuff up tonight or tomorrow.

So it looks like the judgement has been done for a while. I think msleeper either simply forgot, or he is so busy that he can't spare whatever amount of time it takes to write a detailed news article about it. In the event of the first thing, I sent him a pm.

I pmed msleeper near valtentines? (nothing to do with valentines ) he said the following.

I guilt tripped Duffers into revewing his, so as soon as he gives me them I'll post it up.

So hopefully Duffers will get up to it quick. I think that is the judge who forfeited...

Well, hopefully it wont take much longer.
Btw mevious, have you got portal 2 yet?

Oh nevermind then. We might still be waiting on a judge so there's no telling how soon it'll be. No, I haven't preordered Portal 2. Why do you ask?

Cuz I figured that you might have preorder it, and given that I believe you are the one with most chances of "dethroning" me, then I was gonna ask if you wanted to give portal 2 to me in case you already have preorder it :p

Daim, for once I really want to win.

Not to sound desperado or anything, bur srsly =(

I'm confused. Who won the contest? I've looked around the site and can't find the results of the contest anywhere. Maybe I'm over looking the obvious, but I can't it.

The results are not out yet! I know! It has been 1/3 of a YEAR now!

I'm going full insane here!

You're joking right?

I'll concede that I am a dork for not being able to find the results; just point me in the right direction and hopefully I will figure it out ...lol. Thx

Now YOU are confsuing me. Msleeper (The guy who runs the site) has NOT posted the contest?s results. So no matter where you look on the site (Maybe if you hack him, you can read the jugdes? PM, but don?t do that!), you will NOT find the results.

I think that is as clear as I can get.

I know, it sucks. But I really want to know the results! Please Msleeper! Pleases Please!

Much like p0rtalplayer had mentioned, this is rather ridiculous.

This was all just a scam by Valve to get new chamber idea's for Portal 2.

Funny... I've worked in the software industry for many years now, and there is a sleazy tactic used to solve hard software problems. If you have a problem that your software team can't solve, and you don't want to hire a high priced consultant who could solve the problem, just conduct a series of job interviews where the main topic of discussion is the software problem.

This tactic is not just limited to the software industry. I have gone on such a interview only to discover later the interview was total BS.

Well, that is very sad :S

Hope you were able to caught it on early on and did not do much damage to you.

I hope VALVe can do better than scamming. Hell, I would be willing to sell my 3 maps for as little as Portal 2 gift. Even if they decide to not creidt me.+

Anyways, back on topic. Msleeper, still waiting =(
