Hello everyone,



We've been looking into the latest G2G vote today, as suspected there was an issue with the display of the result for the UE biography. We don't know yet what was the cause of this and we're digging deeper into this.

We however have the vote counts in our Back-Office so we are able to check the real total results. We double checked all previous results as well just in case but there was no error prior to this vote.



First of all, we want to present our apologies to Zep' as he was displayed as the winner even though he did not receive the most votes.

In fact the true winner of the Biography Competition are :

- Zkyrd for the Cravers Bio (created by Llama_Guy)

- Ivan Gagarin for the United Empire Bio (created by Nosferatiel)



Congrats to both!



I'll be creating a new G2G vote before the end of the week.



PS: to answer the question on the vote display, it will be displayed after a vote to avoid being influenced by other members' choices. We're working on the feature and hope to have that implemented very soon.

Hero Biography ( max 400 characters ) :

Hexaedric got a serious blow on the head when he was born. His sister too. And their heads merged, Dust only knows how. From that initiatic experience, they now speak as one.

They choose their name the day they flew from their planet : they always keep a silver die to help them take decision when they don't agree. But as time passes, they need it less often. As time passes they become more and more as one. And now they search why Dust try to communicate with them.



"We think we were born in Dust, but fact is we are born from Dust. Since we know, we need to yell it. The universe must know that only true revelation. We are linked."
