If you require reasons why my judging takes a profound amount of time:
- There are 45 tracks to be judged, more than in any MTC that I partipated in/know of
- I make extremely long and detailed comments. I had to make the space for my comments at least 3x the size it had been
- It is very very difficult to give points for style. I don't want to give low points for style or other elements because the track is built in a more beginner trackmaker kind of way. Also it's pretty hard to balance the giving of points since I am constantly comparing the points given to the points given to other tracks. With 45 total tracks that gets hard.
- It takes a lot of time, longer than you guys think, to thoroughly look at every aspect of a track while even having to judge and to comment on it. We are supposed to look at the "design" (very hard to judge), scenery, MT, fun factor and theme usage "also a bit harder since to judge". Now try it for yourself, download all the 45 tracks and give points and long comments for/on them.
- Getting stuck on certain maps. Maybe it's because the map requires a HUGE amount of precision and the game prevents this precision with bugs and shitty handling issues. Now you might counter with the fact that my driving generally is awesome However, doing a SINGLE RUN with perfect driving takes ~5 times the time I make regular runs. Now we are in a dilemma. I came across maps that require extreme precision, I came across maps that took an extremely long number of attempts to finish or to advance, I came across maps that picked me up, squeezed me, and threw me into the pit of extreme rage(TM)
For those argumenting with "It has been six weeks since the publishing of the first track" I say
"Every time I click on a track after the submission topic got more than one post the tracks always get updated. Always. Better MT, cut fixes but tracks always seem to get updated. So I stick to the version that is there exactly at the releasing of the judging sheet."
For those argumenting with the amount of time after the judging and starting immediately:
"I have a busy real life, especially at this very moment. I have enough time frames to put for judging. Even though that contradicts the fact that I make very detailed judging that takes long. Just sometimes I get unexpected non-announced events during these time frames, effectively destroying them, and sometimes I want to spend these time frames doing something else. Don't worry, the next time frame is the weekend, which I have 90% completely free so I finish my judging there.
@Marius:
Damals war die Seite logischerweise weniger bekannt, also gab es weniger potentielle Teilnehmer, also gab es weniger eigentliche Teilnehmer, also get das Judgen auch sehr viel schneller.
@Ville:
Dah this will work.

You cannot simply walk into the deadline! I used my special powers of QWOP to go around it
