I was talking about the Enternal halls.  Reclamation of Battle failed IS done, he just is doing failcannon now. 

In fact, they had to restart the thread.

Actually, why is something up for voting for march?  Shouldn't the latest be February?  Not that I have a problem with it, just wondering what happened there?

Can you only vote for it during that month or is that when it joins the ones that can be voted?

The idea is the minimum waiting period is a month, and my nearest significant digit is to the month. So things nominated early in the month will end up being more like two months, whereas the things nominated near the end of the month will be closer to the one-month minimum window. Considering the fact that I had to make a format change at all, I figure it's better to wait longer on eligibility than shorter.

Once a thread is eligible for votes, it remains eligible for a year. The month before it is removed I'll post a warning in thread for final evaluation. Once removed, it can still be renominated if somebody feels strongly about it, but it has to wait the same as any other nominated that month.

Btw, thanks for the change.  I plan on reviewing some to make sure that they are of true legendary quality.  I expect everything to be of at least something awful quality to even be close to eligible. 

Also, I'm voting down the eternal halls.  That fort was not finished and did even have an ending.  So -1 for that fort.

After investigating the matter myself, it appears that The Eternal Halls (and its continuation, to boot) are thoroughly dead. I've moved the fort from Active to Finished- if it miraculously rises from the dead once more, let me know and I'll correct the situation.

Personally, I don't consider "finishing" to be a prerequisite for Legendary status. After all, DF isn't anywhere near complete, but it is still in my Top 3 all-time list, and it would be even if Toady died tomorrow (Heaven forbid!) A poor ending does not undo the previous content. That said, if the Eternal Halls was voted in based on potential instead of existing accomplishment, it shouldn't have been voted in in the first place. If current readers feel this is the case, 10 downvotes removes a thread from the Hall.

Thanks for clearing that up!   :)

Point taken concerning Eternal Halls.  I will alert you if I notice that it is actually continuing so you can move it back to active.

Take out my down vote.

EDIT: BTW could you move Failcannon underneath Battlefailed?  It's a sequel, so it should be underneath the first one?  ::)

I just think it would make the hall slightly more organized.

Yeah sure, it's done. I keep telling myself I'll get through and read everything and get it more organized, but then I never do. Ah well, New Year's resolution and all that.

It's fine man, we all fail.

I promised to write one chapter in my story a day but....  :(

Things get in the way.  Oh well, your being active right now!   :D  Being so cool and answering all of my annoying questions.

I also just noticed that no one is talking about Hellcannon anymore.  What happened?

It's nominated, and came eligible at the same time as Cyberdorf Computing and Colossus v Wambler. Wambler went in in a flurry of votes, the other two haven't received any yet.

EDIT: NINJA!

There was recently a format change, and by (a rather noble) request of the author Cyberdorf Computing was stripped of its votes and subjected to the new rules. You are more than welcome to vote for it again, though, and your vote has been added.

I would like to nominate Skyscrapes, the Tower Fortress under Epic Fortresses.

Also, The Eternal Halls is active again.

Honestly I can't see Hellcannon getting any votes until it's back up to the standards of it's predecessors. Namely, horrific bloodshed and insanity, less meta-gaming and more masterwork updates.
