[Supershroom]

TODAY IS THE DAY

[nin10mode]

I can't believe we got that done with 0 Asian characters or Korean words.

Darn, I should have used kanji from Kantai Collection while I was typing that one review.

[Harmless]

So I won. Golly. Thanks. I knew I could do it if I set my mind to it and stuck with the theme and went for the most realistic experience I possibly could.

yes you got a 20/20 from me

loljk, you'll understand my score when judgings are released :^)

[Karyete]

My body cannot hold all the readiness right now.

[Supershroom]

Me too. However, I'll probably be absent for an hour or two when the results will be posted.

am currently updating statistics and whatnot and will be including this LDC afterwards and then it can all go to the Hall of Fame, yay

also have my Top 6 prediction, excluding myself:

1st - MoD / Star king (17.25)
2nd - FF / Nan (16.75)
3rd - Doram, Harmless (16.5)
4th - Jumbo (16.25)
5th - Karyete, Blackyoshi (15.75)
6th - Peter (15.25)

Hey all, and welcome to the announcement of the results of the 29th LDC!

This LDC was a really big one. I'll admit that even I didn't expect such a large number of participants. Such a large number that I could say that this might be one of the most heated LDCs of all time. Do you know what else such a large number of entrants mean? That calculating the results was a real pain.

But hey, the results are all calculated, and I know you have all been super hyped for the results, so let's go over the introductions and get started.

keeping the code for my old table here, btween hide tags because holy ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ I deserve a medal for this huge table

And please judges, now it's time to post your judgings. If for some reason you are not able to post them, tell me and I'll post them for you.

[MessengerOfDreams]

Holy ♥♥♥♥ and I didn't even know I was capable of still winning. Uhm... what to even say. I mean, first, obligatory Emma Stone:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS-Jwbqkdbw

Nah jk, really, after the last three years of throwing myself against a wall it's an honor to be able to place at the top, I'd accepted I was past my prime, and not only is it the amazing help and motivation I got from StarK, but a deep love for this community of designers that made it impossible for me to not want to give my all. I ♥♥♥♥ love y'all and I thank you for six years of inspiration.

[-BY]

First of all. Yay. Undeserved 4th place with little to no effort.

This LDC felt horrendous biased

Shrooms level might have faced the most downrated jugdings in the entire history of LDC's.
I'll pay attention to the reviews and hope you guys will actually have legit reasons for that.

It was similar with Peter's level. It really wasn't that bad.

Meanwhile people like I and a certain other person were horribly overrated.

MP3 EDIT: Ikr I totally was and I don't even give a ♥♥♥♥ <3

It's really disappointing that a persons name, and/or the fact that you place a few signs and fail with everything else, still seems to lead to success.
This sucks awfully awfully much. I'll in fact step away from these LDC's and do my best, to never ever see something like this for the LL ones later.

MoD/SK's victory was pretty clear as it managed to be good with everything. And with everything I mean really everything. You guys totally deserve that one.

Also looks like my predictions were mostly right in the end.

[Karyete]

Somebody tell me how I got nearly 15 with a level that can only be described as the cream of the crap. I mean, I got higher than Supershroom - how the ♥♥♥♥ does that work?

But either way, congratulations on those who won, this was a good LDC. Looking forward to the 30th ^.^

[MessengerOfDreams]

I'm a pretty big Peter proponent, but his level had serious letdowns to it, and I think a lot of it comes down to the play style revolving around an excruciatingly slow pace and a constant handicap by the clouds.
