If you mean make a level, it's way too late for that now. The judges are (probably) almost finished grading the levels.
Either that or he meant judging.

...in which case, oh dear.

Don't you mean 'either way'?

So, any updates on when we can expect to see the results? Eagerly waiting.

At the latest, you can expect them by the 7th. I say the 7th because depending on my work and school schedule, I may need the time. Hopefully not, but I might.


However, I think this is assuming the other two judges would have finished by the first, but two days ago MrDeePay said (s)he still had 15 entries to do write-ups.

/shrug
I could've sworn it was the sixth. Was that edited at some point, or am I just mistaken? #w{:s}
Regardless of what I said, I can't compile the scores until I have them all. Hopefully this will be sooner than later, as I don't want to drag out the process too long.
Too late!
Who hasn't sent in their results by this point? There were three judges - are you just waiting on one now, or what?
I'm still waiting on MrDeePay's results. I think I'll send him a PM now, it's been a week.

I should have something witty to put here (even if it's just to update dated info), shouldn't I?

I have about four entries left to do, then a little proof-reading.

Nice to hear an update of you, MrDeePay! I am very excited to read the results... Take your time.

I've now managed to play through and do writeups (though none are to the level of any of Axem's; not sure about FirePhoenix's) of all of the entries. I just need to proofread the entire judging file and verify a couple entries that straggled behind. I will say that I do get pretty repetitive and straightforward as time went on.

Once that's taken care of, I'll send the file over to Axem and FP.

Wow, that's great news, MDP! Glad to see the judging phase is coming to a end by step to step. =) Can't wait to see the results. #w{=D}


...Out of curiousity, how did my level turn out? =)
Axemjinx is pretty much the master of modern level design. He pretty much taught me everything I didn't know yet in on the level testing in smwcp2. Even now I've noticed new bad design choices in my own level, and I already feel that I could've done better. I usually take my time designing levels, but when one of these contest happens, I always rush it for some reason. It's better to get something right the first time, than having to search for mistakes, because then chances are you overlook things.

Anyway, let's all be patient. I've never liked strict deadlines, not for myself and not for others.
Violators will be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam.
Ha, wow, I don't think I'd go that far- I'm sure I still have plenty to learn myself ^_^;

That's definitely vindicating to hear, though. Usually designers just argue with me ;b (not that I'm always right, of course)

I agree, i've seen that you have been wrong at times... :D

Just addin to the modesty

We shoud listen to this, I mean, if AxemJinx said it, then it must be right.

Joking aside, what makes level design so interesting is that nobody knows everything about it. While I encourage taking in mind what others say, no one should be seen as a "master" of level design who is always right.
No, my opinions on level design are all objectively the truth. I just suck at putting them into an actual level in the form of design, so don't look at my actual stuff to compare.

I'm completely finished and sent in my judging file to the other two now, though I feel like I'm missing something in them. The results (and eventual drama) should be in about a week, tops.


In the meantime, here's some Meiling.
