RAD 2 July 2008 Contest

[Grogyan]

WHOOT, Eric A. he's the guy who did most of the Uru Modeling.

I'm a fan of his Uru work (how can you not be if you're a fan of Uru).

EEEEP, this is going to be so fun judging along side him.


Maintainers; Are you planning on hosting the Judge-Chat like last time? It worked pretty well... could have been better... at least all the judges showed up.

(I guess we can use this thread for discussing this 'judging-matters' too?)
Yes, it worked quite well at least when we'd got a 'chairwoman(Dot) who could keep these chattering peeps(that would be me and.../cough,cough) in place . So, I say we do it at GoMa chat again. Only thing the cyanists have to assign there and I don't know how to contact them? Hope they read this thread! About meeting-time - oh, well, let's take that later on.

EDIT: crossposted at GoMa forum http://www.guildofmaintainers.org/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=646

I've email Chogon and passed on the message, no guarantees though that he'll respond.

Thanks a lot, grogyan! I'll talk to the rest of the judges, GoW and GoMa for making decisions about meeting-time and so on.
Am I right in my thinking that this RADs 'Day of Announcing The Winner' would be July 29th? That is, we judges, will leave the names for the public that day?

[Dot]

Would you like me to act as a non-judge chairperson? Just to keep things moving along?

It won't worry me if you say 'no' but if you think it would help, I'd be happy to oblige.

[Corvus]

I would appreciate to have you as a chair person, Dot. It worked so well last time with you.
What do the other judges say?

[Trylon]

It would be ..... acceptable.

I'm not sure where to put this, but I'm having trouble exporting my shell into Uru via PyPRP. It says "couldn't load image data in Blender". I assume it has something to do with the attached texture files, but I can't figure out where to put them to make it work.

Take a look at Valdez's similar problem (and solutions) in the thread below:

For future questions about the shells, feel free to start a topic in the Ahra Pahts forums.

Let's work on pinning down a time and agenda for the judges' chat meeting. Mark offered a time of 10 AM PDT (1700 UTC) on Wednesday 9 July. How does that work for Dot and the other judges?

I'll suggest an agenda; feel free to modify as needed:

Agenda for RAD2 Judges Meeting

• Ensure every judge has reviewed initial RAD2 version of Ahra Pahts
• Discuss lessons learned from first RAD contest:
  • what worked?
  • what didn't work?
  • how to apply to this contest
• Review scoring system
  • make sure everyone understands each category
  • define what values 0-9 mean in that category

A question about GoMa chat: is there a way to make sure only the judges are speaking and not anyone else who signs in? I don't want Mark and Eric to be innundated with MORE questions.

[Trylon]

might be able to make that
