Iron DM 2023 Scheduling Thread

Let the second-guessing. overthinking, and nailbiting begin. I've posted my judgement, first of three. I've been the minority opinion once, and part of the majority the other time, so..... this doesn't mean much.....

I have a feeling that this one is going to be a nailbiter, for sure.

I apologize for not getting my judgment done yet. This day has been... something. I will do my best to have it done by tomorrow.

No worries. It's that kind of week.

On the plus side, I'm pretty sure I'm being dismissed tomorrow (I was an alternate and deliberations see beginning) so I will hopefully also be able to submit my judgment soon.

 

[Wicht]

I put all my other work on hold this morning in order to put together my judgment, which has now been posted.

 

[Gradine]

@Snarf Zagyg and @Whizbang Dustyboots, your final judgment has been posted.

 

[Gradine]

Well, if it makes you feel better @Whizbang Dustyboots ....

Spoiler: Judges, do not read until after the decision!

After struggling (and I mean STRUGGLING!) with the list of ingredients, I finally decided to channel my existential despair at the list of ingredients and trying to come up with a game design that featured them into ... a game that was about existentialism and game design.

Which .... well, it happened, so there's that!

Just curious, but have you ever seen the film Adaptation? Because it feels very similar to me in tone and reflexiveness.

I mean that as the highest compliment.

Wow, no, but I know Charlie Kaufman. That is a compliment, thank you.

Well done, everyone! Thanks for making it so hard on the judges.
