    How is Don Corleone the winner? He didn't have any votes. Shouldn't the winner be Eclectic and the runners-up be tied between me and the Stranger.

    There were three total votes. The Org community poll counted as one vote, Ludens counted as one vote, and frogbeastegg held the third vote.

    I recieved one vote- that of the greatest number of votes from our fine community, while Don Corleone recieved the majority between Ludens and Frogbeastegg.

    I think it would be more far if Ludens and Frogbeastegg decided who won from the two stories that recieved the highest votes. Cause a story could get twenty votes but if the two don't like it then it doesn't win. Sorry, if I seem like a sore loser. Congrats to both of you.

    (I liked Eclectic's story better, though.)

    Yes, the jury system has to be reviewed next time a contest is organized. I certainly hadn't expected there to be such a difference between public preference and jury vote.

    Actually, Don Corleone bribed me with a promise not to decapitate my favourite horse. What can you expect from a guy with a name like that?

    I am just happy there was a runner-up award. I had no idea there was one.
