Seasons Contest

Well, there is an idea -- breaking boundaries. But sometimes you may end up going too far too quickly.

 

Your mission had a lot to it that I'll bet a lot of people didn't get a chance to see.

 

You took away the darkness, fine. That's going to make things very different and very difficult.

 

But, on top of that you placed a limit on knockouts (never good, IMO, but worse especially across the board on all difficulty levels; not with kills or knockouts, but, again, especially with knockouts).

 

Too far. Too much. Too hard. Too frustrating. Too bad... because as I said there is much beyond the frustration... I mean, for instance, your friend's work -- all the backstory and such (which, btw, had some serious incongruity in the dates) -- is obscured by the impossible impassible gameplay.

 

I friggin' know this but only because I "hacked" the 2KOs objective into an optional mode.

So...

 

I presume that something like 11:55PM Pacific Time will be the cut-off unless earlier is fine with the participants?

 

I am not sure how much time I'll have today or this evening to run the numbers and such but I can just arbitrarily grab what's there and calculate that...

 

Any preferences?

Take your time do it right the first time.

Take your time do it right the first time.

 

Sounds good. We have waited so long that waiting a bit extra will be nothing.

Example calculations:

 

Reap as you Sow:

 

Season is clear = 9 votes (24.32%)

Season is captured well = 17 votes (45.95%)

Near Perfect = 11 votes (29.73%)

 

Average score (out of 5) = 3.054

 

Gameplay Enjoyment

 

Two Stars = 9 votes (24.32%)

Three Stars = (16 votes [43.24%])

Four Stars = (9 votes [24.32%])

Five Stars = (3 votes [8.11%])

 

Average score (out of 5) = 3.162

 

Aesthetics and Story

 

Two stars = (2 votes [5.41%])

Three Stars = (10 votes [27.03%])

Four Stars = (17 votes [45.95%])

Five Stars = (8 votes [21.62%])

 

Average score (out of 5) = 3.838

 

Raw average = 3.351 (out of 5)

 

Average with Gameplay weighted 2x = 3.304 (out of 5)

 

 

How as game-play supposed to be weighted\biased again?

How as game-play supposed to be weighted\biased again?

 

I suppose that is up to the contest manager to dictate. I think last time gameplay was appreciated over other qualities. Not sure how much, though..

 

It is a delicate decision, because it will change the winner. As a contest FMA I cannot give any recommendations in any direction.

Congrats Bikerdude.

I wasn't looking in the TDM Editors Guild.
