Let me point out that a tournament event will always have more people lined up to be participants than judges. ALWAYS. Why? Because roleplaying is fun and judging is work.
No offense to Rhos, but he should have kept his comments regarding judging confined to the moderators forum, because by bringing it out here it's caused people to start making snide comments about the work ethic of the other judges and that is frankly, very rude.
Lolli if you want to have an argument with me about it, take to PM's. I won't say anything else about it here.
Not really interested in keeping it going, but I guess I'll just make final points.
People are super picky about who is judging. Look at the drama it caused by one of the judges wanting to remain anonymous before the thing even started? I'm sure there's a lot more people who would be willing to judge but there is a chance that people will bother participating with judges who aren't people they know and trust.
And I don't see what's wrong with a little transparency. Status updates would solve a lot of the problems people have. I mean, the judges who were judging were posting in the OOC already so it's not like it's any extra effort.
But yeah, not really much more to talk about. Not like either of us are going to change our opinions on the situation.
