   $        in any way, the results are here finally, hope it was worth    $
   $      the wait. be sure to have a look in about_08.txt file in the     $
   $      c r u e l i z a t i o n  8 sample pack (yes, 8, since while the  $
   $      delays occured, the sample pack for  c r u e l i z a t i o n  7  $
   $      was released and tracked with, and  c r u e l i z a t i o n  7   $
   $      voting pack was out the very same time as those results (in fact $
   $      you might be reading the results from inside that voting pack).  $
   $      same goes for the  c r u e l i z a t i o n  8  sample pack. you  $
   $      can read the exact timing/deadlines in about_08.txt file, but    $
   $      the general idea is that the beginning week will stand both for  $
   $      voting week for c r u e l i z a t i o n  7 and   tracking week   $
   $      for  c r u e l i z a t i o n  8 . i shouldn't say 'week',        $
   $      however, since there is a special rule - read about_08.txt       $
   $      thoroughly. if you have any questions anout this,don't hestitate $
   $      to email or ask me about it on irc.                              $
   $        now about the voting program.  as you all probably know, it    $
   $      had a few bugs, mainly the one with the comment field (allowing  $
   $      only one line). also, later on it it proved to have problems     $
   $      loading votefiles with certain name/handle/irc/email variations. $
   $      the comment bug is now fixed,hopefully for good (i had to recode $
   $      the whole word wrap routine _twice_ to eliminate the bug..argh), $
   $      the file saving/loading had been completely rewritten. also some $
   $      people complained that the voting interface blinked - well right $
   $      now i'm using virtual screen for everything so it should _never_ $
   $      blink. of course there might be more bugs. you'll notice that    $
   $      the version had gone up to only 0.02b - since it is still far    $
   $      from complete. alot of plans are still to be implemented,        $
   $      although right now i don't get much time to work on it. anyways, $
   $      i've made one mistake when fixing the program - i did not        $
   $      generate results _first_ , i've rewritten the bad code and then  $
   $      produced the results. therefore,due to the new file managing,the $
   $      comments got lost, and since i wrote code 'over' , in order to   $
   $      retrive the comments i'd have to write my old routines again.    $
   $      since the comments were all 1-lines anyway, i've decided against $
   $      it. don't you agree i would be better off releasing it faster?   $
   $      it's already more than 4000 lines of code, without screens ;D .  $
   $      but, if there will be a high demand for those comments, i will   $
   $      recode the old routines and re-release those results _with_ the  $
   $      comments. i don't think it is necessary, but let me know if you  $
   $      really need that - if i get enough requests i _will_ do it. one  $
   $      last thing - the neat numbers (.xx00) are not due to a program   $
   $      failure, but due to the fact that there were 20 voters :D .      $
   $        as for the voting itself, i think it is ok. those results are  $
   $      the first ones that were generated with the new 'anti-unfair'    $
   $      schemes (read about them in crueliz.nfo), and i think they serve $
   $      their purpose.                                                   $
