THE JUDGING PROCESS:There were three judges, NAL, twisterghost and marbs, as unfortunately the other four judges, Daniel Remar, Matt Thorson, Cactus and JW, were either too busy or didn't respond in time. Each judge was asked to rank the games. A first place was given 10 points, second place 5 points, third 3 points, fourth 2 points, fifth 1 point. The points were then added up. This is the system I have chosen to use. While I was not personally involved in the judging, this points system is my personal choice. As of posting this blog, this is my final decision.Anyway. The time has finally come. Approximately 5 months after we were first talking about a super-long RPG-themed competition, we've finally reached the climax. Here it comes…

I just realized that I can (semi) accurately measure time with 64digits competitions…
"Hey, do you know what time of the year it is?" - family member"Oh yeah! It's Scary Four Digits again! You know, that competition I told you about last year?" - me"…" - family member.So, no Rpg Maker Award… :(
There are only two games to decide for the "Rpg Maker Guys". xDOH CRAP I FORGOT TO POST THIS
