<Malwyn> Yes, yes. Don't worry I'd rather masturbate with broken glass than ask you for help again. :(

"What do you mean I can't do whatever I want?"
..Ignorance is to be unaware of the truth.
....Incompetence is to be unable to grasp the truth.
......And escape is to run away from the truth.
It is useless to run, since the truth is right next to you.

<phthalocyanine> they make experiences.
<Nadir> demos, more like
<Nadir> a glimpse into what could have been if mzx wasn't such a bore to work with
<Nadir> actually, i'm being unfair
<Nadir> i would have made mzx games if it was capable of running on more than 20 computers worldwide in 1998
<Nadir> >:D
<%Alice> functor
<%nooodl> i hear C++ has a thing called functors and they're completely different from Haskell functors...
<rorirover> the result is the most horrid thing in C++, it's basically black magic and it transforms any code you're writing into some eldritch monstrosity

Okay, added.
EDIT: Actually, I should confirm first.. I'm going to be following the strict judging quality / timeframe standards originally outlined by Wervyn in the Summer DoZ last year. To refresh your memory:
Quote
So, if a judge can't finish their scores to an acceptable level by the deadline, then those scores will be dropped, no questions or arguments brooked. If a judge hands me scores that I think are clearly deficient, I will tell him where, and make him do them again, and STILL expect them to be finished by the deadline. Unless I somehow end up with less than three scoresheets by the end of the week (which I find hard to believe with the current lineup, even as lazy as I am), scores will be totaled and posted on that deadline. I would like to end up with five scoresheets, but three would be enough for a consensus opinion among the judges. So if you don't think you can live up to these admittedly stringent requirements, don't apply to be a judge.
Just to make sure you're aware.
<Malwyn> Yes, yes. Don't worry I'd rather masturbate with broken glass than ask you for help again. :(

Not a problem. I've always been a bit verbose when I shouldn't be so quality isn't a problem, and I'm not really obligated in other things so I could knock out 17 or so games in a week easily.

I'm working both days during the DoZ and can't be bothered to bother my boss enough to take off two days, and I need los dolores. But because I only work weekends, I will be able to judge the games all week. And I'll be significantly more accurate this time, since speed really hasn't been an issue for me.
Also I want to write a lot of text.

The entry I made last time sucked real bad compared to the one before. I think the mistake was making the player try to escape from a prison complex.
No one likes doing that.

22677 comes in as a close second, I guess
(admittedly, I'm only half way through the entries)

24560: Too theme light for default scoresheet
3656: No .mzx?? Wait, a build of MZX in DOS? Man, fuck you.
41608: No theme discernable, plus I'm hoping that these damn video conversions get busted under including pre-DoZ-made non-music material.
71124: Fucking SuperZZT? Man, fuck you with 3656's entry. This fails on so many levels.
85132: See 41608
8724: Too theme light for default scoresheet
95763: No theme discernable
I'm actually assuming that for the ones where a theme can't be made out to choose a default scoresheet they're just disqualified outright in an act of mercy killing. Otherwise I suppose if one is randomly chosen there's a 50% chance of not being disqualified.
So that's likely 7 DQs, more than half the entries.
As an aside: I don't mind stupid/joke entries that are insta-DQs. But this time around we're looking at 31.4MB, of which 27MB is spent on executables/source code and stupid videos. So please, stop wasting our bandwidth and stop using the DoZ as a way to force people to look at your stupid shit.
