GastlyGibus Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) The only complaint I think anybody had was the running time. Perhaps for next time you could have each judge on your panel critique costumes by themselves, and then compare/combine your scores together. Have the judges line up and players go down the line to be looked at by each judge in line, so that way it feels a little less like everybody is just standing around waiting for their turn. Other than that, it was a ton of fun, and I'm glad you guys put in the time and effort to make it possible. Definitely looking forward to any possible future contests. 😄 Edited June 9, 2020 by GastlyGibus 1 Global Handle: @Gibs A guy with unpopular opinions.

DarkWings Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I feel like biographies should be scored separately from the costume and maybe have separate prizes if possible. I've seen some good biographies but didn't win anything outside of 20 million at least. 1 Guides & Popmenus: The Consolidated List of Popmenus MM Emotes for Pets Popmenu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looking forward to any possible future contests. 😄 Indeed time was an issue, fortunately most contestants were cool about it, being a new system it took us a while to put it in actual practice, but yes the idea is just as you suggested, each of us gave a score to each costume and that was then calculated for a total score that allowed contestants to go to the next stage or get one of the many specific prizes, for the second edition we will have it more polished, may as well take down one stage without compromising the fairness of the judgement process, thanks for the input!

I've seen some good biographies but didn't win anything outside of 20 million at least. They were!, and there was a dedicated prize of 300 millions for the best bio, it was a tough call, there were so many amazing bios and the judges panel were at each other throats, it was not an entirely full agreement in the end but majority won fairly. Edit: We thought about a first,second and third place prizes for bios, but it was a bit over the budget we had, the prize pool came out of our personal funds and we decided to push it a bit further in the end so everyone got at least a little cash for their efforts, plus we duplicated the third prize because of a tie, we ended up going up to 5.8 billions, next day we didnt have enough to change back our own costumes :P, absolutely worth it though.

The best bio actually was a reward... and additionally - everyone was eventually judged with their bio being a big consideration, so - this was certainly a 'bio respectful' contest, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
