You claim that he would have placed first, but does no one else even approach his standards? Although I'm perplexed at how he scored so low due to the ratings of the others (it had problems, sure, but they weren't anywhere near as bad as other entries). He was the only one that got a good score from you, though; everyone else basically ranked at or below the 60% mark, and that doesn't seem very fair for those entries with much higher quality than that.
I'm extremely curious towards the comments you gave such levels specifically. I still have mine saved within my PMs, and can post them if anyone is interested.

I admit, I believe I was too easy on most of it, and I regret not scoring several levels lower than I actually did. I stand by many with scores of at least 15, though, and believe they are good enough to be recognized. Regardless, it is better that it is over.


I just hope that the judges for the next contest have better synced standards, and hope that half of them don't suddenly disappear during the act.
Will do sporadic level reviews on request - PM if interested. I will only do one level at a time. I tend to be rather critical.

Are you sure you don't? You were awarded it by the other judges' scores and so therefore deserve it. Hey, I don't like a lot of peoples levels and they get a good score, same as the other way around. You won, don't be ashamed of that.


It's not just your opinion. It's the fact that one of the factors that led me to winning was the fact that I was one of the judges and I gave everyone a lower score then the other judges did...

True. Rating everyone's harsh brought down there scores, but you couldn't bring down you own.... Hey, life's harsh. I'm fine with 3rd.

Yeah, I got the same PM. It's simply a mistake in the PM; however, we were all awarded the correct medal. If you click the "Show Medals" button or whatever ut says in your profile you'll see.

I'm surprised at the way so many of you are... expressing your distaste with the results. Even if you did place low, who gives a half-as*? :P

These contests are for fun. Not for bragging rights. If you don't like your score, so be it. I just get a little saddenned when I see people ridiculing the winners and such.

And don't worry about posting the comments Volcove. I'll do that myself tomorrow. I still have them saved. :)

I apologize for my lack of presense in these forums for the past day or two. I've been really caught up lately. More than usual. Sorry lads. :?
