I would feel arrogant suggesting i'm a good skinner, but I'd say I was a notch above the rest, so I wouldn't mind judging.

I'm too busy with a lot of things but I could be a judge if you would like me to. =D

I boosted the amount of judges to 5 as to get a more unanimous decision. You two can both judge as I believe you will do a good job, however judging does involve playing the maps.

I would love to help judge if i'm of standard

Ill judge for you man

That is... If you want.

Also, Allow the Zanzibar's BSP to be transferred to another map for weather and water, because it still adds design...

I don't think it should be allowed, I think it should just be skins for Zanzibar and nothing else.

If it is allowed then that's probably all you will see, a flooded zanzibar here, a snowy zanzibar there, a flood infected zanzibar with the flood spores falling. You get my point...

Why does it matter? You can see that without the water or weather, it just adds more variaty, and if people add it, it should not be taken into consideration of how they added water, but how they had changed the atmosphere, and water and weather helps do that.

I think it should be a Zanzibar BSP skin, and people should tell the basemap to apply the patch to when submitting.
So in conclusion I think it should totally be allowed, but hell, its Singing Blazes choice, Not ours.

I agree with you DeTox. Not just about the water and weather but your reasoning behind it.

-Legendary- · Post by **-Legendary-** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 6:48 pm

I will judge. I do skin alot. But never get to releasing.. >_>.. But if you make me a judge, I will test, play and judge all users evenly. I will not vote for the person I like best. I will vote for the skin I like best. If I fail to become a judge, I will enter.

Ill judge if you want since Im not very good at skining...

I'm an alright skinner, though most people here probably don't remember me ever having skinned. It's been over 3/4 of a year since I've done anything. I don't want to judge, but if I find time when the semester ends...
