[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2947948, member: 10079"] THAT, makes no sense. Again, is it so hard to believe that the judges just felt the other products were better? I'm sorry if that's impossible to believe, but that's obviously the case. It doesn't mean software is a BAD thing, it just means the judges felt that of the software entered, there were other, BETTER things. If that destroys your ego, well, its not their fault. And how do you know how much time the judges spent looking at each product? You're only assuming that, because you didn't get a nomination, they obviously didn't look at your product for long enough. Can you just not accept that they spent a lot of time with your product(and the other software) and STILL felt that the other products were better? That has nothing to do with judges not knowing the material. In fact, it has more to do with them knowing it VERY WELL. The current debate is that Shackled City fits into MORE THAN ONE catagory...and it does. The simple fact is that you CAN use Shackled City as a setting very well. Hell, I've seen it done myself, so its not some alien concept. By this logic, a single adventure cannot be nominated for its artwork...because, obviously, that's not what its about. Its an adventure and nothing else. The art is just there to help the adventure. And THAT is just insulting. It just goes to show that you're really simply angry you didn't get a nomination, so you're taking it out on the judges without any real reason for it. You have NO IDEA how much time they spent on your product, so you have no right to assume that just passed it over 'because software is bad'. The judges put in a TON of work for the ENnies to look at EVERYTHING in great detail. They don't just get free stuff and then randomly choose things. Now...if you'd have gotten a nomination for your product, would you have said ANY of this at all? [/QUOTE]
