Okay it's time for a judging update. I apologize for the relative radio silence but I have been having one hell of a terrible month that isn't looking to get better any time soon. But that's something to maybe talk about another time so let me get into it.
Basically, three judges are completely finished with judging: myself, Sixcorby, and Sinc-X. Medic and Teyla have both dropped judging due to the high average difficulty of levels across the contest making it too hard for them to accurately judge the levels. Atari 2.0 will be the backup judge in their places. This means we will go from 5 judges to 4 total, as I don't want to have to seek out a 5th judge at this late stage in judging, whereas Atari was always planned as our backup judge from the beginning. While he is starting from the beginning of the entries, I'm not going to rush him on it because he's already spoken with me about a reasonable timetable given his schedule. Please don't rush him either.
As for a VLDC12 compilation, I did plan to have more to say earlier but I refer everyone to my previous statement about my irl situation. I will say this, however: It is my intent to make or start a VLDC12 compilation at some point in the future. Seeing the VLDC11 compilation underway is definitely an inspiration here. However, I do not wish to start it or undertake it as a project for myself until my real life situation gets better, and I am able to focus and devote time to planning and working on the compilation. Therefore, while I'm announcing my intent to make a compilation today, I'm not going to begin any work on such a project right now. Additionally, at the very least I want the results for VLDC12 to be out before we think about a compilation, since many things can only be decided once we have the final scores.
Thank you all for understanding.
