Fluffy, do you judge the judges' entries?

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.

Yep. A backup judge's job is to fill in the judges' entries to give them four or to fill in for a downed judge

I'm sorry for still not having my judgings ready, but a certain entry seriously pissed me off and made me take a very long time writing a review for it. I need to take my cool and resume tomorrow.

And no, I'm not revealing who it is until after the results. Don't feel bad, whoever you are, but what's reality is what's reality.
Expect something cool here soon!

Now that's a great ♥♥♥♥. For some unexplainable reason my USB stick where I've saved my judgings on isn't recognized anymore. I try everything and yet I can't access it.

I know we are probably all sitting here thinking "oh ♥♥♥♥ I'm sure it was my level that pissed everyone off". So I'm just gonna join in the fun and say, I'm thinking it could have been my level, not because of the difficulty (it was easy) but because I forgot to do some important things .-.
