The votes were cast. All parties had access to the same methodology and practices. Seeing this delayed to appease a vocal and 'political' group of individuals is disheartening. I visited every base in my limited time and cast my vote. To see that it's effectively not important and that I may possibly have to go through the process again, something I may not have time for, makes me wonder what the point of hosting this contest was.
Vault Luxe won by the criteria put forward. If that's a problem then change the rules to exclude bases like that in future contests. I don't think that's necessarily legitimate because it would possibly be invalidating a potential swath of entrants depending on the criteria you put in place but it is what it is.
Change the rules for the next contest moving forward rather than try to appease what is clearly an already inflamed issue. It's only going to spark more problems as is, at least with a new contest there will be a clean slate and you can refine the rules as you need to prevent this from occurring again.
I for one am disinclined from participating in these community events based on all of this, doubly so for the fact that it has to be 'redone'.
Thank you for the monumental effort and energy that went into this, CR's. It's a shame how it all ended.
