This is the first website to know these results and I thought I'd let everyone know that. These results will be sent to the Otakon webmaster shortly. If you have something to say to me, my personal email is Spootchman@hotmail.com, so we can keep this stuff off of the list. If you want my new phone number (my personal phone number) email me and I'll give it to you personally)

I had heard a rumor that not all of the votes were counted, that 1 hr before the videos were announced at the 8:00pm panel sat. that only 1/3 of the votes had been counted (thus it being impossible to count them all before the announcment was made) or something like that. Is there any truth to that?

I've heard the same thing from multiple sources. Were it to be true, it would deem every single result completely inaccurate... and rather embarrassing.

No wonder the coordinator of the event was fired.

Um, you <i>do</i> realize that the coordinator of the event is sitting right up there at the top of this thread, right?

if this was the case, it would seem rather suspicious that the scores conviniently disapeared at the time he posted these results..... Not particularly pointing any fingers of blame or anything, but..... chotto ayashi ne....

A bunch of us had seen the tallies at the con, so we know they existed then.

Even so, what we saw would still only consist of this "1/3 of the ballots actually counted," rather than the full amount.
