 Damn glitchy Gaia. Every time they make major changes to the system, we have to deal with a host of new glitches.

Why does the judging time take longer than the fighting time?
That's like a novelist writing a book, and the readers can't finish a copy before the sequel.

When you fight, you're only reading the posts of two people - your own, and your opponent's.
Using this round as reference, the judges have to read a total of ten fights. That's twenty people worth their weight in Role-Playing. If every one of us were perfect writers, it's still a s**t ton of reading to do; but most of us aren't perfect writers. So now you have several judges who have to infer on what's going on in a role-playing sequence, one that is infinitely more complicated and harder to keep track of than your average run-in at Commerce, without the option to ask either competitor for input to attain a better understanding - x10.
Coupled with the fact that each judge also has to compile comments for different criteria, choose winners, set up the bracket for next round, and take care of their own lives somewhere between...
Not to be long winded, but you have to be a judge to know and respect the process.

Nah, I wasn't actually. I've gotten over the RAEG involving you; was simply messing with you based on the fact that you normally go about things in a manner of NO U and faggotry.
>> What you said there was actually highly logical.

That's actually an opinion, Austin. A fact is something that can be proven irrefutably.
What you're talking about is a set of occurrences stemming from a singular individual in a singular tournament -- hardly what I would call normal given my record with tournaments and general Role-Playing thus far.
I aim for highly logical. I leave the gadgetry and NO Us to people more qualified; I'm obviously not very good at it.

Diety!
Take a few Moar Days!
crying
Can't fight when my only computer is Mom's laptop. And I have to wait for her to be done using it. And doesn't have any music.
Serious.
I'm listening to the one song that I like on my phone on repeat while I respond to my Gaia mail.
Summary: Take as much time as you need, go rub one off, take a nap, eat a three course meal, work out, and then feel free to post results.
No rush.

Time it takes indeed, but also some of the fights are over before the round ends, in a few cases by a couple days, so judge the fights that finish early before the round is dead lined. Wont make a huge difference but some.

I never get bothered by judging times. I'd rather a good job be done than a rushed one.
*Stretches* Course-I only show up for tournaments for the rp...so...*coughs and goes hide*
My fight with Desi made the whole thing worthwhile~~ That was fun.
*Frowns at DT* I feel bad for not being around at the end of another tournament, but hey, stuff comes up, and my team was awesome.
*Hugs Riles* Hope you get your computer back soon...*misses*

xd Things should get going either this evening or tomorrow. But, as always, that depends on if we finish. Rest assured, the tournament will reach its ending faster through the coming month.
