Any crews found "stuffing the ballots" or ratings, will be disqualified PERMANENTLY - yes, that means the whole crew.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize I was a week behind. Due to the nature of the contest, we need to keep on the schedule or skip another week, so please spread the word to your crew-mates that voting/submissions end this coming Sunday! I'll extend voting if need-be, but I'd like to go ahead and stay on the schedule we've been using.

Ronin's going to be hard to beat this round, considering the fact that they were almost the only crew who submitted anything. I wonder if anyone's going to publicize the contest to their crew a little more, this round?
