Hmm, the whole point of having judges in the first place is to have an overall, varied opinion, in which there is no right and wrong, just different perspectives and different point of views, as we are all human, and we all function differently. If everyone was to judge exactly the same and have the same opinions, what would it actually achieve? It would destroy the purpose and be extremely non-individualistic.

So, to make everyone happy, I guess we can come to this final agreement:

Judges continue to judge normally, no pressure. However, before the host of the LDC posts the results, he checks all the scores for all levels from all judges. If any seems off, the host tries to find any explanation in the review. If the host clearly isn't satisfied, he has the right to ask the judge to either reconsider his score or give further justifications. If the host isn't sure what to do with the score, he could always ask any judge(s) that is currently online for advice.

Would that sound like a good compromise?

I'd also add that the host recalculates the scores himself/herself too, to stop any miscalculations being found after the results. But other than that, I think everything would be in order if we did that and it would be totally painless.

And the backup judge can also help the host look his over if he judges.

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Alright, so we've reached a consensus then?

An official discussion is not necessary, but a review of all of the judges' reviews and scores might be. That's what I'm getting out of this.

If so, thank the lawd geebus
