I demand a recount. Or at least like a run-off IM election. It must suck to have worked under such stringent deadlines on something and then not even get a chance to enter it in the competition. It could be like the... copper modder contest.
Meh. I know where I screwed up and I fixed it. I knew I wasn't going to DETHRONE THE LLAMA or anything. Sometimes you just play to play. (And I know to delete creature scripts and give them the right dialogues for next time.)
I'd like to do something like Junkyard Wars: make two teams of three, give each team an expert, give the teams a goal, then give the teams some stuff that has to be included in the mod, like a creature, or dialogue, or a script, or something. Give a slightly longer build time (say, six hours instead of four), an hour for cleanup, and a live-action judging. I'm trying to find other folks interested in it.
