Roger that, deleting.

This week has been very bad for me and I've had to do a lot of catch up on school, and I still do. I might not be able to judge this contest. Next one is fine though.

I could really use another couple of days.
Now is of course the time when I get tonnes of work to do, and no time to do it in.

This does highlight a possible flaw with a system of judges, though.

For the next contest, maybe either have people put [judge] in title when one feels that the mod is ready for judging or add further emphasis on
mods possibly being judged as soon as they are released for the contest.

i would go for the first , or a derivative of it.

as it has to be released to get feedback .

people could leave out "Modding Theme Entry: <Mod Theme Name>"
if it's still a work in progress

I can extend the judging time a couple of days, but any longer will make the contest slower than it should be.

Cheers, I appreciate that you want these to be fairly quick, but I'm glad you're having mercy on us judges.

I think all of the rules need a good once-over. There have been plenty good suggestions in the last page alone.

How many ratings in from judges so far?

I think all of the judges minus one have rated everything.

I'll go through the rules and change/remove/add where needed, some time later.

Unexpected theatre visit took up all of yesterday for me.
I'll rate everything today, so expect a last minute PM.

Edit:
First PM sent out.
BARGAIN ARMS has received it's rating.

Edit2:
Done!
I'm curious as to how y'all other judges have been operating.
That is, what did you do for the judging?

The review compilation is almost done.

I'm not sure how many of you judges know this, but I planned on having the reviews released to the public.

Your names will not be written in the reviews, but I still want to know what you think.

Im fine with that.

Even though I am not a judge, I think it would be a great Idea, that way we would know what is good/bad in our mods and could improve ourselves.

You honestly think I wrote that PM from the heart just for you? I assumed they would be released anyway. Anonymity is a bonus. Saves people smacking around the judges for a bad review.

The contest is over! You can download the reviews from the main page above the "Winners" section.
