Author	Topic: The next Scenerio Design Contest?
BainIhrno Infiltrator Member # 5132	written Thursday, August 10 2006 02:56 Profile Homepage #25 On a matter of curiosity, when would official decisions about changing contest rules be made? A month before? Also, I think anonymous scores promotes BoE/BoA bias. Only one other person will see them and it seems easier to get away with rating based on taste/preference. I still like my discussion idea - it seems the best way so that the personal taste of the judges can't get in the way of the results too much. -------------------- "Let us see what the new day brings." - Temas, Areni.

Well, in a sense, anonymous judging is opposite to what you suggested. What I thought was actually that judges wouldn't know about each others' scores before they had given one. EDIT: Yes. Blind judging. Exactly. Not "anonymous" judging. Another issue that traditionally divides opinions is, what the role of personal taste is in judging (books, scenarios, films...) Is it bias or is it the truth? Because there is no Law of Scenario Designing, or at least none that the judges would have to follow. In any case, if you (other people) want to judge like BainIhrno suggested, it's your decision of course.

the Great Potato Loyal Underling Member # 13	written Thursday, August 10 2006 06:19 Profile #28 The first few contests were all blind judging. Personally I prefer this. You email your scores/reviews to the organizer, who does averages and makes a neat little webpage that will be published with scores and reviews when the judging finishes. -------------------- [i]Great Potato[/i] "Unless by the force of eloquence they mean the force of truth; for if such is their meaning, I admit that I am eloquent." -- Socrates Posts: 126 \| Registered: Thursday, September 27 2001 07:00

BainIhrno Infiltrator Member # 5132	written Sunday, August 13 2006 14:14 Profile Homepage #31 Dream on. I refuse to support BoA. Anyway, the porting feature stinks, according to designers. If someone wanted to do it, they couldn't, at least not in time.
