ATRL's FAMILY FEUD
Its time to be honest
Basically in working towards the next stage of this game with the remaining 25 of you contestants, I will just stop the inevitable and just call this game off officially.
I will reveal some detail:
- Yes I did receive over 20 PMs from people not involved in this game to be a part of the survey panel that answered many questions for the future rounds. They are: collin, Cupid, maiko, umichgrad07, Slay, Sasha Pierese, IAmFree, Eternium, Frozen99, and a few others (I'm writing this off the top of my head).
-I did get a number of answers written down for the next stages (but not all of them hence why I didn't get the results) from those surveyed.
Why did you prolong this ending of the game aside from the details listed ie. You were capable of getting the results
To be frank,
1. The amount of time it took to get the results in previous times took a good 6-8 hours each results show to prep for this (straight). I was hoping to land a certain amount of free time to get the results done, but as soon as late July hit my life, I've been running around by an overnight real life resurgence (I had loads of time in July lol)
2. Spending more time with family and friends past late july on. Basically since late July I have: gotten my mom's signatures on 2 counter offers for my parents house, visited a good number of my closest friends I hadn't seen in months, attended a wedding, and thus driving over 500 miles to make it all happen.
3. To just stop the anticipation for me to find free time to make these results. I think if my real life has basically just started to always pick up in activity, I shouldn't let ATRL Games hold me back from making the most of my life outside this forum. I think I was lying to myself in believing I should churn out the results when really I should probably placing my focus on something less time consuming.
So yeah. I will say I appreciate members like borntdie, K$Ellie, Cristian, Haribo, Qatari Monster, Rem, and e437 (from the top of my head again) who were messaging me to push me to get these results going, it reminds me of how I am disappointing y'all by not getting the results as I so promised before. If anything I loathe the fact that I failed to get the Round 6 results together. I'm terribly sorry for that.
So Now what?
Well with this said
1. If I ever do this game ever again, I have learned my lesson to know how to host a large group of people, and just to have everything in order so things like this will not happen in future games of mine ever again.
*Zune sis, tell them about stuff they care about, like the winner nnn* - Zune's mind
Oh sorry...
So i will simply just declare -brian the winner since he did so well in the original form of the game.  I think that is for now the only way I can declare a winner, so I will just leave him to be the winner.

Below is my rants I posted here before and then deleted lol.
I want to thank you all for posting and making this thread such a lively Summer Game Section affair. I really enjoyed seeing some of the messy results (Qatari Monster) and people who kept me on my ____ (borntodie/Haribo).
Thank You all.
 Blah
Let me close this until I can get the results actually ready. I will notify everyone when I can get the results together.
As a contestant I understand that is sucks when a host is letting you down, but in general as a member y'all can understand when real life gets in the way, ATRL really unfortunately comes second place (with good reason) to real life. When the game was most active I didn't have a lot really going on to keep me from not posting results (yesterday in fact when I was just going to stay home, I had to visit my mom to get her to sign some papers for my dad urgently like I did on Tuesday when the results might have come). Its been things like this which put my hosting things on pause unfortunately.
I'm not satisfied that I am holding back the results like this (ie. getting them together). I'm happy with myself, if anyone cares on this part, that August is picking up in activities in real life when it has been too calm in July. 
I have this game on my mind and I will get these results out for this round when I get all of the panel results together (which is actually the part that has been holding me back from giving the results. I have yet to enter all of those). To keep in mind of the time commitment this game takes onto me, I have previously dedicated 7-8 hours straight on to doing the entire process of a round. So in not having a full day to just do that has been difficult for me to get Round 6 completed, hence the delays.
Anyways closing for now, and while I'm away I'll stop at a library to calculate the results while I'm MIA for a bit.
Part 2: I hope y'all realize by closing this thread does not mean I'm not ending the game 
I'm just closing this for the random bumps. I know the contestants want the results, so do I (I don't like not finishing things). I just don't care for the random bumps. i also want to make my message clear as to why I haven't updated the results, and closing the thread and showing my last posts is one way for me to do that so everyone understands what is going on and why the results haven't come. So rest assured closing the thread =/= ending the game
edit: I am seeking to get these out and done when I get back, because I should have more free time then
Part 3: Goodness me, even after a week of this being closed, wow lots of things are still busy in my life and I have yet to even present the darn results for this game 
I will give the full exclusive to where I have been for 1.5 weeks in my YTT update, but for today I won't have the results up. The thread opening is to let you know tomorrow I will get into calculating the results again and I will go from there to get the results sometime for me Thursday (nothing up my sleeve, I'm free all day Thursday, but tonight I'm going to a dinner for my mom (its related to her illness she has and I'm taking her to a support group dinner).
Between having a normal life with friends, my parents living 5 hours away from each other and making me get my mom to sign off papers to make counter offers on my parents house, to helping my mom at these types of events for her illness, and getting food poisoning last week (ugh the dia____ alone ), I've been busy.
Congrats -brian!!!
