You've made an entry so I think it disqualifies you for this job.

How many entries are there this time round?
I can probably do some gameplay/mechanics judging.

@Mehman: Not so long as all the other judges are ok with it. Also I wouldn't enter my rating for it anyway. It's still an average.

But it'd still be to your benefit to rate the other entries lowly.

I agree with pete.
We should wait and hear what cave johnson says on this though

Agreed, I think that noone that has made an entry should be allowed to be a judge.

Aw damn. I love judging.

Sorry Roast, no judging this contest for you. The next is coming soon though, you can judge in that if you don't enter.

Just to clarify:
-You CANNOT be a judge if you have entered in this contest.
-You CANNOT be a judge if you have given some partial credit.
-You CAN be a judge if you have judged any contest before.
-You CAN be a judge if you have chosen the theme.

I'd love to judge for Graphics/Gameplay.

I think these contest's are the only thing keeping modding alive.(besides the occasional mod release.)

I don't know about anyone else, but I am never happier playing CC than when I'm making a mod, as such I have made quite a few and I am constantly in the process of making a new one. /[offtopic]

Same here.

Yeah, making and testing your own mod is about as enjoyable as initially playing with someone else's new good mod, but it lasts as long as you'd like.
Without modding in general CC would be boring and the forums would be mostly inactive, but the contest isn't needed to keep modding going. It helps, though.


Anyways, I dislike the idea of specific judges, and I have an idea for an alternate voting system to avoid the broken polling feature but get the same result.
1) CC48 gets an administration-approved alternate forum user account
2) People email the alt account with their vote clearly marked in the title of the PM, under a specific format.
3) When the time for voting calculation comes up, CC48 deletes any duplicate votes from one person, (leaving the most recent) or any unclearly titled votes, and then counts the votes for each entry
4) After the votes are tallied, CC48 clears the alt account's PM inbox for the next contest
So basically this would function in the same way as forum polling, but the results would be more suspenseful, since only CC48 would see them until the end of voting.

Judging seems to have already started, so not doing it this time would be perfectly reasonable, but consider it for next contest?
