Thwomp King Contest Update: Passing the Torch
Posted: Sat Mar 04, 2017 2:53 pm
Hey so I'm posting this to address the many issues with the deadlines for judging and everything for the past few contests as well as the upcoming March contest.
So for starters, I know results are going mad slow and it's been a couple months. So with all of the deadlines coming and building up, I would like to post all of these results at the same time as each other. I don't want to set myself up for failure with a definite date, so I'll leave that as a personal goal for me and the judging team. I apologize for the continuous waiting times.
For the next contest, there will not be a contest for March, rather taking this month as extension time for the sky contest and setting the March contest to being the April contest.
So long story short, my contests are not dead and I strongly recommend to continue to participate (for the small following of you that actually commit to them). To others that don't take these as seriously or mock the unprofessionalness of these contests, consider trying them. These contests aren't meant to be as serious as the other forum contests as much as I initially wanted them to be that way.
I make these contests to help motivate other users in pushing themselves to make the best levels they can make or to simply make levels they can use for their episodes with some feedback to help better themselves.
Please feel free to post any questions and concerns you have and I'll answer them all here when I can.
UPDATE:
With a lot of consideration in addition to how things have been for me, I will no longer be hosting the 2017-2018 season of contests this year. As my contests have been getting low participation during my time as host, I will be passing the torch to King of Eterity. So at the conclusion of the last contest for the 2016-2017 season, King of Eterity will continue my monthly contests as he pleases. I wish him best of luck with hosting, and I'm sure he'll do a better job than I have been doing lately.
As I have been doing the polls for 2017-2018, King of Eterity and I will collaborate on setting him up for the next 12 contests with the help of those of you who vote in the weekly polls.
It has been a fun 24 contests being your host. I thank all who have been on my judging team and to those of you who have decided to participate in at least one contest during the 2 years. One day I might host future contests, but I'm certainly taking a lot of time off after the July contest.
