Kanji was grounded for weeks. Though he didn't (read: couldn't) notify me himself, I was told by another about his situation. There was no way he could finish. I will concede that you have a point about Neo and Zekrom, but at the time Zekrom started I was constantly urging people to finish their votes during the last couple days. Let us remember that those two days she realized she couldn't handle it was within that deadline, and not several weeks prior. Regardless, she did feel hesitant about her votes being counted. I don't know anything about Neo's situation.

My main point I am trying to address is that (most) of these people didn't outright state that they finished or didn't want to continue. They stopped and didn't finish without a word; I can give them the benefit of the doubt that life has gotten in the way, and would have continued if they could. The snide comment wasn't the reason your votes were disqualified; If anyone else needlessly skipped categories like you did, I would have given them the same treatment. I am not simply trying to 'overlook' other people.
