Please stop posting about beta 4 constantly, because I mean, this thread doesn't even have anything to do with beta 4. I get you are eager for beta 4 to be released, but it will come out when it comes out. Constantly posting about, even in threads that have nothing to do with it, will not make it come out any faster.

well i mean i get that but when is beta 4 coming

Around this year or next year. I assumed, no?

On topic: I take a look on the thread's deadline "19/3/17" and I checked my calendar so it's 15/3/17. So 4 days left, good luck guys who PM'ed to Horikawa. (Not counting me because I don't shoot her with PM, just saying "good luck")

What is the point of a judge endorsing a show runner?

So, is this a kind of preceding approval?

Good to have enough time fore that too. Looking forward to the vote.

I can already tell who I'm gonna vote for, I hope those guys we're voting for the best of luck too.

You haven't even seen the themes/gimmicks each of the showrunners made yet though...

Doesn't mean that levels they've made outside of the contest aren't going to help them either.

I don't understand what you're referring to. Mind elaborating?

If a user joins a contest(let's say this one), and they've been making great levels for quite some time(other contests, projects, episodes), people are more likely to vote for them more than any other person because they make generally good levels often.

I doubt you know what's even happening.
Gimmick for the contest, not for a level. MaGLX2 had random name prompts and 2 characters which you had to design around. These showrunners listed above all came up with their own twists on the contest formula.

Incredible how there's only one good one.

There are a few good ones.

Honest thoughts on all the options:
Supershroom - Boring idea that's not creative at all, it would basically be another GEx or even a regular Community Contest.
PixelPest - Really interesting idea. It reminds me of MaGL X2, but instead of names it gives you designs.
MECHDRAGON777 - Cool gimmick, but there need to be enough themes to make it really work.
Dragon Fogel - The rules are pretty unclear here. For example, what would happen if two people picked the same level? I like the idea, though.
rpgfan4 - Could be interesting, but I don't really like it. It's basically the same as the contest DarkMatt had a while back.
sebby19 - So it's basically the same as my music contests :^) I can't say I'm against this idea, I'd even be willing to judge this one if it wins.
Sturg - Similar to PixelPest's idea, but I prefer that one over this...it feels more concrete.

So overall, here was my personal order:
0.
1. PixelPest
2. sebby19
3. Sturg
4. Dragon Fogel
5. MECHDRAGON777
6. rpgfan4
7. Supershroom

My personal opinion:
Sturg: Good idea, good rubric
Everything that is not Sturg: eh

That's because I'm expecting to hammer out the full details of the rules after the voting if I win. There was a considerable period of arguing (respectfully) about the rules and scoring in MAGL X2, which I took part in. Right now I'm considering a setup where you can either scour the list yourself for a name or ask me for a random set, and in the latter case you get one bonus point. But if I'm convinced in the arguing-about-things phase that there's a better way than that, I'll go with that instead.

In the specific case of two people picking the same name, what would happen is simply that both levels would be judged. There were same-named levels in both previous MAGL Xs, there's no reason to disallow it here.
