First of all I would like to congratulate the winners and thank to Becassine for this very nice contest! It was really great and the prizes were amazing!
It must be fair for everyone. I'm sorry for the change of the deadline, I was surprised with the proposition od Gazeta and I tought we had time till 22 of may, maybe I should have listen to Halab
(never change the rules ...).
Second of all, I would also like to apologize for changing my prediction
after the initial deadline and for placing Becassine in a delicate situation. I could not say this before the topic was unlocked and I barely waited to have the chance to say these words.
I was certain, in the moment when I updated my prediction, that it was the last day of the initial deadline. I was not aware that the deadline was already passed. I never broke any rules of any contest and it's not part of my behavior to do something like this.
I appreciate that Becassine allowed me to change my prediction, but I only realized only after her next posts that I posted the new prediction after the initial deadline. And I felt very bad about that. I also thank to the others which accepted to add one more day for updating predictions, if anybody else wanted (after all, it was a good move for dkbit98
). However, I felt bad about that and my conscience was not relieved until I made this post. So I apologize once more.
Halab was right -- rules should never be changed. And, if I were in Becassine's place, then I would have never agreed to change the rules. However, she was very nice and flexible and the other participants shared the same feeling so I thank you all.
