FlipPro, in all honesty I don"t think you can allow the madness to continue at this point.

If you do allow this to continue, and I win (and I likely won't) feel free to only send me 20% of the prize, and give the other 80% to the Quark foundation.

And feel free to send me nothing if I try to change my mind later.

I challenge all the leaders in this contest to meet or beat this offer. Can't we all agree at this point that 120,000 quark is far too big a prize for a logo contest. As a couple people have pointed out previously, you can get a damn good logo from someone on fiverr for $5.00

I think martijnp should win if I'm honest. I shouldn't be so kind since he turned against me at some point and accused me of questionable things, but i am fairly certain (at least hoping in my heart) that he is not responsible for the currently absurd state of the vote, even though his votes have skyrocketed from 20 yesterday. Despite that, I don't think he is guilty. I have my own suspicions about who is really responsible but I'm going to keep it to myself, since no one will believe me anyway.

Has anyone stopped to think about where we are, and how it might be playing a role in this? Are we not on a "Bitcoin" website where the presence of other altcoins is merely tolerated because of the extra attention they bring to BTC?

Is it not entirely possible that certain BTC shills have conspired to embarrass Quark by voting for an inferior logo, and then making a mockery of the voting process itself by pumping it full of bullshit fake votes?

Anyway, I think this should be officially ended by FlipPro now. If it isn't, I can only hope the other leaders will individually or collectively make the same pledge I have made, to accept a prize of 20% whilst giving the rest to QF.

If you want to know one of the real reasons I asked the leaders the other day, to sacrifice our leads in favor of bringing other worthy candidates to equal standing with us, it was because I suspected cheating even then, and I would rather sacrifice my own position if necessary than see a cheater win.

It is clear to me now that I should have made a truly stunning logo, as the truly good ones are seemingly above reproach and would have no reason to cheat, right?

I have tried on numerous occasions during this ordeal to be a voice of reason. But evidently my genuine and sound advice is only acceptable if my logo is worth 120,000 QRK. I wonder how the public would react to an altcoin community putting a disabled contest entrant through the wringer and cheating him out of a win to serve the "community" with no regard for the actual people within it.

Only time will tell.

WOW, give it a rest with the fake votes crap. Just because other people are catching up doesn't mean they're cheating. You guys have been peddling that crap since day one and will probably continue until the contest ends. The most logical reason Martijnp's got so many votes is because he has a Quark video on YouTube that's gotten almost 600 views in the past 2 days with a link below it asking people to vote.
