No kidding.And I was on the panel picking nominees (except the most creative category, that didn't exist).
Though I noticed that half my noms were passed over for more popular people...and that nearly everyone nominated on the polls are from the OTF.
But then again, when the majority of the panel only posts in the OTF, I suppose that should be expected.
Moose already explained that a lot of names were passed over because of the 10 option restriction. When a panel member appeared, they were removed first in favour of a 'normal' member. Obviously it then came down to which of the nominees had the most nominations.
I do agree that next time perhaps the other method should be used, but it depends if the 'Award Host' would be willing to take on the role again. I'd certainly volunteer.
