Looking at annual chart. I wish we had so many creator too see 60 missions per year again. It's hard to imagine for some of us that joined you in later years. More than 1 mission per week... the dream.

I agree Terry ad Gabor, we should maintain the current counting method. I remember discussing it last year and think we arrived at the logical conclusion. I was just commenting that a number of large campaigns are lining up to be released next year and it will make that decision all the more stark.
Neux, it wasn't exactly like that in the sense of there being very regular releases. Back then, the contests regularly had 8, 10, 12 or more entries and they all got released at the same time, so there was still clustering and then slow periods. But yeah, the golden age was great.

I believe we went over all this last year, though I can't find the thread. Joe Schmoe throws together a mission he spent one night on during a binge drinking episode. Takes 10 minutes to play. Mary Jane slaves away for 3 years on a 12-mission campaign that involved a host of others to complete. At the end of the year, both count as "a release."
Seems a little bogadocious, but the chart isn't there to reward anyone. I suppose the good thing is, we don't get garbage from our authors. I've been very impressed with the FMs released by noobs that come close to what the old pros have put out.
Ahh, it's been another fine year. Let's hope for many more.
Does that "excellent stuff" include Tower of Jorge? :P
(I literally spent 3 days on it)

Yes, I updated the numbers.

Can someone provide links to Joe Schmoe and Mary Jane's FMs?
I don't believe I've played these author's missions.
Also looking for missions by Max Mustermann, Ola Nordman and Walter Plinge. :)

Seemed like reasonable pseudonyms that some authors might create missions under.

Fair enough.
Humour isn't my strong point, but I like to try every now and then.
