Dec. 20th Update: I apologize for the delay in the results. The judges and I have been hit with finals and the holiday season to explain the delay. Hoping to have critiques up soonish but updating to show I have not forgotten.
Dec. 2nd Update: Round 3.5 has come to a close. Please wait while the judges and I write up the critiques and results.
Thank you everyone for your patience while we tried to figure out what to do next. Due to a double-forfeit for one match-up in Round 3, the format has been changed slightly so the Drop does not suddenly end. Instead, Round 3.5 will come into play.
What does this mean? Mieruru and Daco will not continue while LCom and Ombre continue to the finals. Round 3 will not yet be judged. Instead, it will be judged together with Round 3.5. Please cheer on our finalists as they continue to fight onward.
The cavernous depths continue to shake, causing the walls around you to crumble. The creatures that dwell sense the danger and your doom. The time is now. The gem is ready to depart and hide away. Will you claim your prize before it disappears or will you be left in the darkness?
WELCOME TO ROUND 3.5 OF THE DROP
&
The deadline is SUNDAY DECEMBER 2ND, 2012 at 11:59 PM HST

The purpose of this round is to give our contestants time to bring their stories to a close.

HEY GUYS, there seems to be a lot of tension going on. I would like to say I'M STILL WILLING TO OFFER CRITS!
I will be as blunt and honest about it as possible and will even go as far to say whether I agree with voting or not and why, because I think it's important people know what works and what doesn't because how else will they learn?
ALSO in terms of all the people talking against the judges? While I think there are more... Pleasant ways to put it, I don't blame the people who are speaking poorly. They have every right to complain about things, especially if they feel they're being treated unfairly. Octs are MADE of contestants. Yes, the judges are running it, but if contestants are unsatisfied, you're kind of failing as management. I would like to try and help by giving out good crit and help the remaining people do better in the future.

I won't be submitting an entry this round. The judging last round, as in accepting my opponent's entry regardless of the fact that over half of it was submitted throughout a week over the deadline, has put me off of this tournament. If I had known the judging was going to be so... Forgiving.. I would have cleaned, lined, and colored my entire round.
I apologize to my opponent, but I do not feel bad as a whole.
Good luck to those of you who do decide to continue on.

Aren't you being a wee bit unreasonable here?
I mean okay, you have a very valid point and I can see why you wouldn't accept the final results in the last round. But in the end you are still in the tournament. You were given a chance and now you're throwing it away.
Don't you think its a bit unfair for everyone else who didn't get that chance?
I'm sure all of them including me and my partner (if we had lost) would have accepted and used that opportunity!
So why are you doing this?
Either way, you have your reasons and you're in your whole right to not submit anything and forget about this OCT...
But I would strongly suggest you to reconsider and try to look past this recent events and just make the best of the chances you have been given.

I think he's being reasonable, if the judges are going to let stuff like that slide, it's hard to take them seriously and I can understand why he would rather not be judges by judges who are hard to take seriously!
I hope you will reconsider, but if not, I wish you luck in your future activities. I'm sorry that you feel so harshly about the results. If you wish I could go into further detail about my own choice and reasons if that would help make the decision more clear and perhaps more reasonable, although I can't speak for any other judges than myself.
