Concept Contest - Good news, Bad news

Sir ArmaMalum··7 votes·350 views

Okay guys and gals, don't freak out. Everything is still set to go, BUT unfortunately I'm going to have to ask for 2 more days from you guys.

#Bad News

Judging is still not done. This one's on me, the tl;dr is simply I dropped the ball on coordinating the judges this last week and for that I vastly apologize. This contest is as much a learning experience for me as it is an awesome catalyst for your amazing creations, and I learned a valuable lesson here. The lesson? Get direct contact info for anyone else you're working with, lol.

Again, this was my bad, and I am very sorry.

#Good News

This will be the last delay, as any judge that isn't done by Wednesday (that 2 days from now) will have all of their scores thrown out. I want to make sure everyone is judged on even footing and by as many people as practically possible to ensure a good competition, but of course all that means nothing if I keep saying "in a bit, in a bit".

Another good thing is that like I said, this is a lesson for me, so I'll be sure to not let this happen again on any future contests. I know that means next to nothing for those who are entered right now, but rest assured I have the prizes in hand and I'm eager to hand them out.

#I apologize for the delay and my inexperience, 100% my fault and I'm doing my best to address it. Thank you for your patience.

No problems, if anyone is honestly irritated by this then they missed the point of the contest, to have fun. Take your time.

I think there's no reason to apologize. You're the one who gives out prizes, we should apologize for our impatience. Just calm down and do your best, noone else wants you to overreact, especially not now :P

lol, I'm not in a panic or anything, sorry if I made it seem like that. I just wanted to make sure everything's as transparent as I can make it. Seeing as I'm planning on making this a recurring thing I want to show I'm capable of doing so and I felt like this was a small step backwards in that regard.

Well everyone knows life sucks. Such problems can't be foreseen nor prevented as they come and go on their own will.

Just wanted to state out that you're doing a formidable job and it isn't much of a big deal if something isn't working out as planned. Plans are made to be broken.. like buildings.. or people _

I was going to come post support for your efforts after reading, but it seems you already got it :D

So, let me ask a question:

Will you releases complete ranking list, or just the top 5 or whatever?

Also, will there be comments from the judges on each champion?

Good question!

I'll be posting the scores of the prize winners (so in this case, yes, Top 5) and a brief congratulatory summary of each concept. I'm also considering doing a honorable mention/superlative list (no scores, just "Best of X Category") without total scores for a few other concepts, but we'll see what happens.

comments from judges I previously required, but after seeing how many entries we got going I downgraded it to "highly encouraged" and that's the beauty of not mentioning who the judges are, they could have already commented on your concept! hehe

I'll try to comment myself where I can, but I didn't want to do so during the contest (because you know I'm judging :P).

Just give it your best shot, this is the contest you're hosting. If you're new, you deserve SOME extra time. No biggie.
