Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I won't set an official deadline for judging, as it seems judges have different schedules for when they can do things, but if it doesn't look like someone is going to submit scores, I can omit them. Since we have a shortage of judges, feel free to submit scores even if you haven't officially signed up, but unless you've talked to me, I can't accept your scores from people who haven't signed up after December 31st, 2011. The download page is here. If you do not have the version you want, let Tyran know ASAP. The following scenarios will be vying for the prize of Best Short Scenario: The Crusaders by Bain-Ihrno The Eternal by Nikki Gluckcluck by Enraged Slith Quarhag Pass by Smoo The Siege of Copperpeak by Ephesos Warp by Ephesos Best Short Scenario will be judged by JMP, Lazarus, and Tyranicus The following scenarios will be vying for the prize of Best Newcomer Scenario: The Cradle by B.J. Earles Incorruptible by Tridash Melliput Mobsters by Celtic Minstrel Oops by Dintiradan Pilgrimage to Thrakos by Sylae Correll The Sorcerer's Apprentice by Niemand Strange Gildra by B.J. Earles The Triple Valley by Iffy Waterweb by Handyman Best Newcomer Scenario will be judged by Bain-Ihrno, Lazarus, and Tyranicus The instructions are to give each scenario you are assigned a score from one to ten, with ten being the best. Highest score wins the category, and advances to Best Scenario Judging. If your scenario is within 80% of the top scenario, your scenario also advances. Send your scores to my Private Message Box. There are still several scenarios that the designer hasn't announced if it is going into the contest. If you have a scenario on this list and missed the deadline, it will be up to the judges whether you can still enter. Note that The Crusaders and Pilgrimage to Thakos are BoE scenarios. That's about it, so get started, and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I didn't want this part to be in the contest instructions, but I do want to let judges know that if you are on a PC, I do have the crusaders.bmp file on my computer. If you need one, let me know and I'll email it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Does Gluckcluck still count as a newcomer scenario if Kill Them Dead was submitted to an early contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sylae's scenario is Pilgrimage to Thrakos not Thakos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sorry, I forgot about Kill them Dead. Gluckcluck is a short scenario. Newcomers are scenarios that have never entered a general contest before (meaning smaller contests don't count) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Just curious as to where people are at right now. I have just finished all the newcomer scenarios. I know the unofficial deadline is still a while from now, but I'm curious as to where other people are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I was playing Skyrim until last night, but now that I have finished that, and Avernum: Escape from the Pit doesn't come out until next week, I'm hoping to get quite a few scenarios out of the way this weekend.

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It just occurred to me that The Triple Valley was from about two-three years ago. Heh. Almost tempted to play through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Azzie Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've been unable to work on a scenario I'm making, when i finish it, can i still enter it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I mean, if it's close to being done and you can get it in before the judges finish, I have no problem with letting a newcomer have a late entry.

Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 If you can try to get your scores in by Dec. 31st, great, but it's not an official deadline. EDIT: Received scores from JMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have 4 scenarios left to play. I should be done by the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Unfortunately, I still have to play the two BoE scenarios. Due to working a lot of extra hours the past two weeks, I have not had as much free time as I would like. I am hoping to have my scores turned in this weekend.

Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Received scores from Tyranicus, we're just waiting on Lazarus now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I still don't have scores from Lazarus. He's still welcome to submit, but I'm wondering if anyone else would like to step up and judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 No luck finding a new judge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Unfortunately no. I feel basing a whole contest on the word of two judges doesn't really feel right. I'm not trying to skew the results or anything, as I have no idea who will say what. I'm feeling a little unsure what to do at this point.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hmm. Maybe repost the judge request on the General forum, to get more people aware of the problem? Tell 'em that whoever steps in to judge can be in my signature for a month. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 No one yet. :-( I just realized something. Lazarus was judging both sections, not just the newcomer section as I've been misremembering. So technically, I could be judging the non-newcomers. I really wanted to use Reading Week to work on a paper submission, but someone should spare time for this contest. :-( And if need be, I can withdraw Oops from the contest so I can judge that section as well. One big problem, though. I've never once played BoE, so we're gonna run into the same problem as last contest. I really don't feel confident judging BoE submissions alongside BoA submissions, especially when it come to stuff like combat. If I have a lot of trouble getting through, say, Bain's scenario, is it because combat is poorly balanced, or is it because I'm not used to BoE combat?

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well... I could do some judging, but there are a few problems. First, I have two entries in the Newcomer category, so unless there's some way I can judge that without either wrecking or rigging my own scenarios' chances I shouldn't be judging that category. Second, I have played BoE, but it's been many, many years since I last played it for any serious length of time. Third, I've never judged a scenario contest. If you're okay with that last one, I can give this a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 How about this? If Dintiradan is willing to withdraw "Oops" (no one's forcing you), he can judge the newcomers and can judge the others if he wants, whereas BJ Earles can judge just the Best Small section. That way we'll have at least three for each category. I'm hoping then me, Tyran, Dintiradan, and BJ can judge best scenario. We'll keep the judging call open so we can get more "best scenario" judges who aren't in. (The results are calculated in such a way that you can judge even if you're in). I'm probably not the best to ask about how to judge my own scenario, because I don't want to skew the results . I'll say though that the combat is intended to be difficult. Sylae also suggested that if you know anyone who plays BoE or BoA, inviting them to judge as well. I don't expect that this will happen, but I thought I'd mention it. If this is agreeable, the tentative deadline for this section will be March 15, 2012. Thanks, and sorry about the delay with this contest.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks a lot BJ. I will withdraw Oops from the contest and budget some time for judging the Newcomer section. Yes I'm busy, but so is everyone apparently, and this contest has waited long enough. That said, my offer still stands. Be a judge in this contest, and you win a spot in my signature until March 15!

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Update: I've finished judging all of the BoA scenarios, so now I just need to go through The Crusaders. I PMed Bain about getting the crusaders.bmp file for it, but haven't heard back yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Received scores from Dintiradan. BJ Earles told me that he had the graphics for The Crusaders up and once he sends his scores in we'll be ready to continue. Thanks for your patience.
