"I just had a phenomenon?" Doesn't really work.
How about: "Hey guys, I just had a startling revelation that will make you all go insane!"

Remember, wishing wells and wishing ponds DO NOT upgrade your inventory and weapons for rupees. This is NOT Hyrule.

Disclaimer:

WARNING!! Throwing your ocarina in a wishing well/pond will NOT upgrade your ocarina. Most ocarinas are not made to withstand water and are FRAGILE. Throwing an ocarina in any body of water will most likely ruin it, if not break it. This is NOT Hyrule and you are NOT a magic princess, NOR is your ocarina an holy artifact. Please treat your ocarinas with care.

Thanks to everyone for being patient!!

We have had many unexpected complications with the judging the Contest, but we are nearing the end now! We are hoping to have results for you soon!

Since the judging staff is located all around the world, it does take us slightly longer to communicate as well!

Wow...MANY unexpected complications. I wonder if we'll find out what they were...I'm guessing not. But it DOES make one curious...

It does tell me that this was one GOOD competition! (or rather, 4 good competitions!)

Can't wait to see all the entries!

There was some intense competition!
And also some tense apprehension,
But then, in the end,
It was won by my friend,
So, there'll be no recount petition.

I do believe the limerick was not actually saying anything about who won, it was made purely for humorous effect.

Not only that, but I'm not among the judges or mods, so how would I be leaving clues?

Another thing occurs to me, and that is it may not just be judging that takes so long, but also preparing the announcement page with all the entries must take quite a while.

I thought of that, too. It's going to take us awhile to view all the entries...I imagine the "after-shock-waves" of this contest will extend several thread posts for quite awhile...

Yes, maybe there is a secret message hidden in it... :think:

Wait a sec...

... did you notice how the first letters of every line spell TABIS? Maybe that stands for Tab|Shack, so Crowler is the winner!! :omg:
But if you put the letters in alphabetic order it is ABIST. Abis is latin for the second-person singular present active indicative of abeo, which can mean to retire from office, so maybe it's one of the senoir members or co-founders that are no longer staff members. The final T must stand for Tomato, so Stevtomato is the winner!! :omg:

But maybe if you arrange the letters BIAST, it is a warning that the judges have been very biased in their verdict! The sign of a great conspiracy from within!! :omg:
Or if it's arranged BAITS, that would mean that this contest is made to lure someone out! Like in Robin Hood, where the duke made a contest to lure Robin out! So the staff is trying to find out the address of a certain member that they want dead, by making him/her think they need his/her address to send an ocarina as a prize, while they're actually planning to send him/her a bomb!! :omg:

Or maybe if you arrange the letters more like *blahblahblah* then it'll mean *rantrantrant*, unless *blahblahblah* wich would mean *rantrantrant* and then *blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah*
