Well, tbh, we're getting an office just after xmas, so what I was gonna do is download all the submitted gamemodes and have a bit of a LAN party, then get everyone involved to give their opinions.

Obviously I'd probably have power of veto in case they want me to give first prize to something awful. garry On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 12:18 AM, Nick <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, I appreciate your reply to the voting concerns with the contest, > but please tell us who exactly is judging, and if you are open to get > outside non-biased judges, I would trust anyone well known from valve, > or id, or ea games or anyone, even a mod leader from a popular source > mod(NOT GARRYS MOD, OBVIOUSLY). > > I would at least like to learn who the judges are, and if you would be > willing to get other judges from valve, id, epic or some widely known > company.
