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. :D


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. :shock:

(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 8-) . 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?

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.

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?

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.
Can we rebuild it? Yes, we can - here's how.

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.
Can we rebuild it? Yes, we can - here's how.
