lastly just saying AT THE BEGINNING WHEN everyone i mean READERS/TRANSLATORS/EDITORS first posted their piece for the contest there was no problem, no one compliant of whether you are a READER/TRANSLATOR/EDITOR. it was just fine everybody are just having fun competition there might be some fierce competition going on but all in all it was okay.

So why is it that in the end theres alot of comments/critics/opinions/sentiments and problems surfacing.

    Thanks for your reply.

    You have further trying to prove my post. I do not want to believe you are irresponsible that you cannot even use the proper time for a competition that involves 5k as a reward. Which makes it open to conspiracy theories. You are really adamant on your stand.

    Based on all your post it is mentioned in multople places that the competition ends on 27 Dec 2017 (GMT +8). Like given below. Which equates to London Time (GMT +/- 0) time Dec 2017 16:00. Which you yourself has confirmed.

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL A great big thank you to everyone for participating! After careful verification, the results of the contest are as follows:

    With the competition ending at midnight 27 Dec 2017 (GMT+8), the final score is:

    KingBiBiK WEBNOVEL Yes so Dec 27 24:00 GMT +8 is the same as

    London time 4:00 PM Dec 27. Right?

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL KingBiBiK I think so, it's 16:00 London time

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Lastly, I suppose the reason why you guys are unsatisfied is also because of the result auditing. I saw Alew complains about the time issues. Let me give you guys more details about how we calculate the final result. Firstly, as the announcement we have mentioned, the length of the competition will start from 20 Dec 2017 - 27 Dec 2017(GMT+8). It means we will calculate the result in Dec 27, 24:00 GMT+8.

    I do not have to bring any more evidence but I can say for sure the data you provided is based on the time of GMT +/- 0 or in simpler words London Time. Anyone who voted for me, Alew or meh can check.

    IF you are a good observer you can notice Alew's vote count stops nearly at 15:31. (Before the London time for end time)
    Mine is different because people vote for me, not my friends.

    But post 9 Jai1001 is my brother and he only created that account at 9:27 AM EST (GMT -5) so that equates to (GMT +/- 0) time 14:27 or (GMT +8) 22:27.

    You can also notice about 12 likes of Meh came after 16:00. (78 - 12 < 71 = point to be noted)

    @Alew this is your place to prove. Most of your friends I believe only came to the forum to vote, so show the screenshots of the time they visited the forum. You should be in GMT +5.

    I do not have anything to gain from building up a conspiracy theory or intentionally slandering you @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL.com. You provide so many good things for us and I was hoping you will be truthful or responsible with the evidence.

    (Also it is really weird for a data that should not have changed to have something different everytime you post.)

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Tugster its end up at 24: 00. Thats how data comes from. It doesn't matter when we post the announcement. Even if we announce the result one year later, the data only counts the given time range instead of all likes being count.

                      Thanks for your pointer. But I have already mentioned that subtly. I did the reply fast so its not the optimal words lol.

                      I was saying forum users continued to like my post without knowing the time is up. While Alew's count stopped right before the end time.

                      Thanks again.

                            KingBiBiK Honestly there's not point in arguing with them. They literally give zero shits about anyone in the community, evidenced by the whole fiasco with WXW. They've done this time and time again. They act like dirtbags then twist their words to try to appease the community and justify their behaviour. It's sickening, and more people need to call them out on it. I don't fault the translators, per say (except CKTalon, for his, uh, overzealous defending of QI when they're pretty much clearly in the wrong), but the whole webnovel site is just a poorly managed shitshow made on lies and deceptions.

                                Tugster they mean that it wouldn't be surprising for them to delete this thread, considering their credibility

                                    derangedlol

                                    It would enrage ("piss off" fits better, people are starting to become numb) a lot of people if they choose to delete this thread...

                                        Olivia they literally did that to a thread called "Qidian is stealing", with over 500 replies lol. QI is scum honestly, and anyone who tries to defend them *cough cough CKTalon, is either blind or doesn't care for the community at all. I've been part of this community since before the /r/LightNovels migration, and seeing QI take a literal dump over us is the most upsetting, enraging thing I've experienced so far. Qidian doesn't care about us at all, so why should we?

                                            derangedlol but the whole webnovel site is just a poorly managed shitshow

                                            I can agree on this site being poorly managed (they have improved compared 2 the start), are missing some features and a bunch of middle schoolers facebook group is more organized, but my expectations are non-existing because the forum is in beta (Sorry if I offend anyone)

                                            BTW: I am only talking about the forum part of the site _

                                              derangedlol I have no opinion on the fiasco with WXW. In fact, I would say no user can blame anyone on either side. This is because, we DO NOT know what happened behind the scenes. Since we are not sure about what agreement they had or what caused the conflict or who is in right we cannot blame someone.

                                              But I can only agree with what happened in front of me. I only spoke out twice. Once was when I did not like the lvling system as well as the SS reducement at random.

                                              But this one happened while I am watching.
                                              I do not believe the authenticity of the results. I am glad they replied back. But the evidence is seriously disheartening as it is again making me believe in the fishiness of the issue. As much as I want to believe that there is nothing wrong, them not admitting makes it more believable to accept the stupid conspiracy theory I made up.

                                                  derangedlol I don't think CKtalon defend that much lol.

                                                  And you are right, their thinking of the consequences is little....mehhhh

                                                      derangedlol I read it after its done.
                                                      what do you think about this issue? Do you think my arguments are believable?
