DQ. Revenge of the Toaster by logicow (988 / 2000 points)

I'd like to give everyone who participated my heartfelt congratulations and thanks for making this a great DoZ. Even logicow, if he ever decides to stop being petulant about being disqualified (two counts: failure to follow theme, and failure to run in MZX 2.82b). I was very impressed with the results, and I hope next time will be even better.

You can find the individual scoresheets here, in the order they were completed.:

• KKairos
  
• Wervyn
  
• Terryn
  
• pyro1588
  
• MZXGiant
  

Later, once I've had time to polish it to my liking, I'll post the complete Spreadsheet Of Doom which contains all sorts of wonderful things like individual game scorecards and judging metrics and complete, compiled comments for all the games.

I'd really like to give a special thanks to all my judges for buckling down and getting the scores turned around in a week, and doing it well. I felt KKairos in particular was our best novice judge, with both excellent speed and well balanced scores, but MZXGiant and pyro also did great jobs. Hopefully we can make this a trend as well.

Finally, if you haven't played these games yet, go do so. About 2/3rds to 3/4ths of them are well worth a look.

"Time to get started on next year."

Actually a pretty good competition this year, the judges were well selected and the scoresheets were actually worth reading, if only to see each judge's wildly differing opinions over what makes a good game.

Judges did a great job this year! All of them are worth reading and scores seem to be scaled just right. I can't seem to view MZXGiant's though since I don't have Excel (And OpenOffice Calc doesn't seem to like it either >_>)

Worked for me on OpenOffice 3.0. You might note that each game is represented as a separate tab in the document.

Guess I need to update then (Using 2.4 @_@)

Wow, it was weasel who did News First!? I enjoyed the writing in that one.

[nooodl]

FUCK, you could pick News Reporters/Heavy. I thought it was News Reporters/Light OR Paranoia/Heavy. I can't reaaaad D:

Well, at least something I learned: play through the _entire_ game when it's finished, don't test boards separately. Congratulations to Lancer-X, and thanks for the great DoZ to everyone else! (EDIT: And the judges of coarse, for getting it all done in a week this time around. Thank you!)

Yeah, while that would have been nice, I didn't end up having nearly enough time to do that at the end =P Next best thing: play through the game, making use of F11 to 'debug' your way to the end. Just trying to test as much as possible in a limited amount of time.
