I'd like to thank everyone who entered and/or judged in this contest. And of course, congratulations to Ephesos for winning his first general contest ever! I'll be working on a detailed Word document on how I arrived at the results that I did. If you would like a copy when I'm done, let me know. Thanks everyone! EDIT: Oh and if you're wondering, there is nothing April Fools about these results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Congratulations Ephesos and everyone else! Out of curiosity, will the judges' reviews/rankings/whatever be released in this word doc thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes. However, I'm the only judge to provide comments. Not blaming anyone as I didn't ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised that I'm only 10th place... ...then again, I ranked higher than Niemand. How'd that happen? >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Congrats Ephesos! I'm rather surprised that my two scenarios took such extreme places. I mean, 2nd and 12th? I expected them to place somewhere in the middle, not on the two ends. I'm not complaining, though. 2nd place isn't bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well the document is finished. PM me if you want me to send it to you. Unfortunately for you, BJ Earles, the fact that your scenarios placed how they did pretty much wiped out all your judging except for tie-breaking. Nevertheless, thanks for taking time to judge and I wish you well in your future design endeavors. It's been a while since a scenario in "newcomer" took 2nd, so congratulations on that. Somehow I feel like getting back to my BoA scenario, which I've had put away for some time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should really get back to mine, too. It's the one I meant to do for the 1/10 randomized contest from 2010. And congrats to all contestants!

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 As someone who's played all of these, I can honestly say that they seem pretty similar in terms of quality. I suspected that Copperpeak would win, but I didn't know how the rest would turn out. I wonder if the judging was fairly unanimous. EDIT: Thanks to all of you who judged.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 First off, Hey Bain, I distinctly remember asking whether or not text reviews were needed. :-P Seriously though, what I plan on doing is writing CSR posts for all entries. I have all my notes ready, they're just point form on scrap paper. It may take a while to get them online, though, since I am waaay behind on Masters related work. Just want to say one thing first: it was really, really tough to rank these scenarios. A lot of good ones in the bunch, especially in my top five-ish. Also, absolutely every scenario had at least one moment where I sat back from the screen and said to myself, "Wow, that is really, really cool." And like Bain, I'd love getting back into designing. But, uh, see two paragraphs back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So... I haven't done a day's work on Blades in maybe two years, and haven't released anything in three? And now I win? I mean, thanks to the judges for doing the contest, but I quite honestly don't know what to with this information. EDIT: To clarify, I'm equally split between the "Still Not Coming Back to Blades" camp and the "Dude I Should Make Another Scenario" camp. And I am grateful for the win, just honestly surprised.

Heh, I was being (somewhat) flippant about my feelings towards where I placed is all. I'm still working on Blades stuff at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Not at all surprised mine didn't place. I made it 3, 4 years ago? I never bothered to fix the quirks and add the stuff to prettify it that I was going to. And I've been working on something on and off for the past couple of years, but not sure if I'll ever get around to finishing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: To clarify, I'm equally split between the "Still Not Coming Back to Blades" camp and the "Dude I Should Make Another Scenario" camp. And I am grateful for the win, just honestly surprised. At least half of those scenarios are older than Copperpeak, I think. I'll have a new scenario coming out as soon as it's complete and I'm actually pleased with it. It was supposed to be my entry to that Warrior's Grove + 1 contest, but I really shot for the moon and ended up not finishing in time. I don't know if I'll continue designing after that, considering that there's barely any interest left in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I am working on a new scenario right now and have plans for a handful of other scenarios, but I'm trying not to work on more than one at once. Despite what my signature may say, I think I'm about 80% the way toward having a playable version. After that, it's going to get a healthy dose of polish before going to beta. So, yeah, there are still some of us who are still working on and playing scenarios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 You got a beta tester right here when it's ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Me too (Windows)! I have no scenarios to my name, but I've played (still playing, in fact) many of the ones over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If the judges wouldn't mind, it would probably be nice to put some reviews up in the appropriate forum. I was looking through the list of scenarios earlier, and I noticed that some of the scenarios in this contest have very few reviews (if any at all).
