So if you're back-pedalling on the statements you made on the forum regarding timezones and voting late, then I suppose we should just assume that your threat to leave the contest holds merit either, yes?

Thoughts?

Good vibes only intended! For the importance of good communication it was necessary to respond to the post above with clarity and affirmation. :)

Xhuxhmaxhuxh was proud to place in third last edition. New Bander State placed in fourth, Insomnéa in fifth and Orangualia in sixth. We are happy to welcome these nations, along with Kordavian Islands who placed in second, and the winners Tamausia & Deltannor, as prequalified nations who will go...

The full results for this edition can be accessed here.

Please explain to me why you take offence to the hosts for following the rules at their discretion, particularly the one about late votes, when you yourself have historically been known for doing the same? The rules have been followed, there is no case to answer here from the hosts POV. We are...

The screenshot you posted even states, that CET is currently only observed in one African country, nowhere in Europe itself. I literally live in Greenwich, I know what time is.

CET / CEST (whatever you wish to call it, its the same - one ceases to observed when the other is in place) is the main timezone for the majority of the players in this contest and it has always been understood that the deadline timezone is in CET. In fact, this is not my personal timezone, but...

I have changed my forum time to CET to double check this. And I see the time that you sent the results at 00:52. We hosts discussed this matter today at length, and due to time constraints we decided to follow the NSC rules in this instance. There were other nations who did not vote in...

Deadlines keep things moving smoothly and make sure everyone's voice is heard fairly. You voted 52 minutes after the deadline, that’s why your votes weren’t counted. If you ever need more time, just give us a heads-up beforehand. It helps hosts to plan better and keeps things on track without...

The final results table is as follows: 166 = 76 + 90 / Tamausia & Deltannor 157 = 85 + 72 / Kordavian Islands 145 = 70 + 75 / Xhuhmaxhuxh 144 = 98 + 46 / New Bander State 143 = 69 + 74 / Insomnéa 140 = 41 + 99 / Orangualia 136 = 76 + 60 / Griffin Empire 131 = 70 + 61 / Grand Duchy of...

Unfortunately, there were a number of nations who failed to vote by the specified deadline. Votes were not received in time from Calypso, Biflovatia, Afnia, Serenes and Xochimilia.
