Sdc?

DarthVeda · December 24, 2002, 20:10

So are we still on track for a Jan 1st announcement? Or did WarVoid's recent accident set the date back?

St Leo · December 24, 2002, 22:00

Accident?

DarthVeda · December 25, 2002, 03:03

yes it seems he nearly parted with two fingers...

Quote:

I nearly cut two of my fingers off yesterday at work. After I did, I blacked out and fell and smashed my head on the concrete floor.

I've got two sticthed fingers now and spent the day on IV's and all kinds of drugs. They say I blacked out cause of loss of blood.

It's very hard for me to type being incapacitated like this, so I really can't mod for the time being.

I'll be back ASAP. If I can, ... but it really hurts to type

So let's hope he's feelin better soon.

klesh · December 25, 2002, 12:48

Yikes, would you all believe that 2 of my friends cut 1 finger off each in the space of 2 weeks. Actually, one was smashed off and one was ripped. Yuk.

Get better soon Ryan!

-FMK.

Mercator · December 25, 2002, 15:39

Let's all cut off two of our fingers to show our compassion. *blacks out*

St Leo · December 26, 2002, 12:03

We all appreciate your, uh, solidarity, Mercator.

I don't know how this affects the contest. Presumably, he will ask for help if he needs it and I think he has some sort of arrangement with Techumseh.

DarthVeda · December 26, 2002, 16:48

Ok but I'm looking forward to finding out the results soon

St Leo · December 27, 2002, 02:32

I'm looking forward to playing mine in the PBEM forum.

kobayashi · December 27, 2002, 03:50

Since

1. He is not judging
2. He was apparently able to type (albeit with difficulty) after the accident

I guess there should be no problem. I'm also anxious about the results and I have my 'People's Patch' ready for release.

p.s. WVoid, hope you get better soon.

DarthVeda · December 27, 2002, 08:08

I'm looking forward to actually giving myself credit in the scenario

DarthVeda · December 29, 2002, 17:58

I talked to WV today and he said that it would probably be delayed until after the holidays because of his injury and the fact that he hasn't been able to get ahold of a judge since before Christmas.

Panda · January 6, 2003, 14:16

Do you think he'd accept my submission at this late stage?

St Leo · January 6, 2003, 15:16

That depends on whether you have one to make. In any case, you are likely to be eligible for some sort of People's Choice thing if we do one.

Prometeus · January 7, 2003, 03:00

I don't think i'm going to win anything. I'm just interested in have good tips for qualified playtesters ( play's of mine often forget to post a feedback for my artworks

).

I'm waiting....

Warvoid contacted me before Christmas and asked if I'd help judge SDC#4. I agreed, and he sent me 4 scenarios. He hasn't been in touch since then. If there's been a change in plans, I wish someone would let me know.

St Leo · January 9, 2003, 10:06

I am not aware of any change in plans or the exact specifics of the original plans. Are you capable to completing the judging on your own?

If necessary, we'll combine the announcement with the January(?) issue of the SLM.

techumseh · January 9, 2003, 15:12

Yes, but they will then esentially be judged as single player scenarios. I wonder if there are a couple of non-entrants who would volunteer to play 10-12 multiplayer turns on each scenario with me, just so I can get a feel for their multiplayer qualities?

Right now I have 4 scenarios, but only 2 code names. They are: Asiento by ?, Bigice by ?, Sengoku by "Wellington", and Tron by "Tzar Alex". It would be nice (but not essential) to have the correct code names of each entry. Could the authors of the first 2 entrants send their code names to St. Leo, who can then send them on to me?

Finally, are there any other legitimate entries out there that I haven't got? If so please contact St. Leo right away. I must have received them within 48 hours to consider then for the contest.

St Leo · January 9, 2003, 17:42

*insert PMs here*

Techumseh, your PM box is full. Could you please judge whichever scenarios you are comfortable judging? I'm sure a volunteer helper is forthcoming.

/me glares at the lurkers

DarthVeda · January 9, 2003, 17:45

maybe we should extend the dates allowed to 1943 so FMK can submit Stalingrad?

St Leo · January 9, 2003, 17:55

How big a part did naval combat play in the battle of Stalingrad?

Anyways, at this point I am going to stop meddling and let Techumseh and Warvoid take care of this.

techumseh · January 9, 2003, 18:08

My box is cleared. Awaiting your message.

Oh, me?

Well, what do you mean by judge exactly...

WarVoid · January 12, 2003, 21:08

techumseh - I am much better now, thank you - and thanks to everyone for their support.

I sent you another e-mail after Sengoku, but never got a response. Apparently it never got thru. I will be sending you a few more e-mails concerning the contest and some details I hope to iron out with you.

My hand, needless to say, is still screwed up. But i'm in physical therapy for fixing that. I'm still here. You can't get rid of me that easily.

Anyhoo, i'm having trouble accessing these forums, hence the lack of my posting here. *curses WinXP OS* But I am still judging in my spare time and we should be able to bring this contest to a quick conclusion very soon.

Those Yakuza can be really tough on first-timers huh ...

DarthVeda · January 13, 2003, 11:04

kobayashi · January 13, 2003, 11:49

May I suggest we drop the stickness of

SDC #4: Official Rules, Regs and Guide

and start a new thread which only the organizers and judges will post message to keep everyone updated. Maybe even post the title screens of the entries to whet some appetites?

DarthVeda · January 14, 2003, 12:40

I like those ideas

mordhiem · January 14, 2003, 13:22

Yeah, let us see the title screens!

Only, maybe remove all the wording on it so we can all guess what subject the scenario might be on. Then we can have something to do whilst Leo and WV finish up the reviews.

WarVoid · January 14, 2003, 14:27

Well, the winners (everyone seeing we only got 4 scens) have been decided and ranked. All that's left for me to do now is finish up the synopsises and post the list.

Be prepared. Be very prepared.

DarthVeda · January 14, 2003, 18:23

get on with it!
