thatsnotmypuppy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sadly a catastrophy has hit the Chez Puppy. To save myself fifty hours of work I have been writing summaries and scoring each bid as they come in. Sadly this morning I went in to add my thoughts on Belgrade and the whole file is corrupted. 16 pages gone. I am seriously fuming and so pissed. Nonetheless the show will go on. I will shortly release in this thread a very brief rundown on my thought processes and the shortlist. A million apologies - but I had a sweet report almost ready to go - trust the Serbs to f*ck it up! Ha - just joking! I am seriously annoyed that I have wasted hours typing up rubbish with little scoring graphs and everything. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark! So now you get a shortlist and maybe some points on why each city made it as I am over it. So sorry but to start again is just not going to happen.

So now you get a shortlist and maybe some points on why each city made it as I am over it. So sorry but to start again is just not going to happen. No backups? No separate files? No way to turn back the clock? (No Window's system restore isn't going to do it) Oh well, guess we'll just see the shortlist score sheet and perhaps a paragraph or two commenting each city.

Lord David Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 TNMP,if you need some help I can help you... without skewing the results? Well unless you can un-corrupt the file then perhaps it's not wise for you to help, then again, TNMP has an entry of his own, so who knows?

Aronious Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just to set me straight...we are having a short-listing but there is no second phase? As in we dont have to produce a nother book, the shortlisting just nominates who we can vote discluding those bids who dont really deserve votes? So no more books? Yes? good.

Lord David Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I understood it this way.... Yep. What's the point of another book if you got most of the core info in the mini one? Besides, that would have caused the comp to go for way too long, maybe even a month or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first 2020 competition lasted about a year, produced 2x40page bid books and over 75 voters from what i can recall, so really its not a bad thing...if you're willing to wait that long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost1 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Very unfortunate indeed! I can understand that you won't be able to give a detailed report now, but please include some scoring, at least a general score... Anyway, you ran the competition very well as well as the WC one so I'm sad we won't be able to read the report. I'm sure it was great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
