Iron DM 2022 Is Upon Us! Sign-Ups and Scheduling!

[Wicht]

In some not so happy news, as I was making links in the game thread for the last match, I discovered that all of Snarf's posts have been deleted. This happened with the incarnation known as Lowkey as well. It means that we are missing some of our entries for posterity, and also that the judgments are the only record of them actually happening. I don't supposed anyone copied and saved them?

Wayback machine has the first, but not the second.

Wayback machine has the first, but not the second.

I snagged it.

I'll make a copy of it and then post it to the thread after the last match.

I'll be on the road Monday and have a long work day on Tuesday, but I don't foresee any issues taking time to make a proper and timely judgement. Just and FYI.

 

[Wicht]

I have read both entries briefly, but won't be able to write up a judgment till at least some time tomorrow.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

It was difficult, but I have made my judgement.

 

[Radiating Gnome]

Mine will also have to be tomorrow sometime.

The final judgment is in, and our winner is declared by a 2-1 vote by the judges! Congratulations @FitzTheRuke!

@Kobold Stew - I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of with this loss and I hope to see you in future competitions!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Kobold certainly doesn't have anything to be ashamed of - not only for his excellent entry - we made a pact that the winner buys the beer (as we have the ability to get together for it, only living about 40 minutes drive apart!)

Which means... I'm buyin'!

Kobold at least wins the free drinks!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Thanks to all the judges for their very fair assessments as usual!

I was aware of many of my final entry's many faults, and I really wished I could fix them.

I had the word-room, the time, and the inclination. What I didn't have was the energy. I was terribly ill while writing it, and I spent half my time sleeping. If it was a little bit gonzo, it may be that I was delirious. I turned it when I did because I didn't trust that I would be awake in time to do it closer to its due-hour. And I wasn't.

I would have loved to have had two more hours with it. But such is Iron DM.

I'm extremely grateful that everyone liked it as much as they did.

I'm going to do everything I can to do even better next year! Just you wait!
