There's no score for the overall contest package. You "only" get to vote for the individual missions.

Galaer, if you mean you wish you could vote separately for the few entries that had 2 missions, you can give them different scores and then just vote with the mean of the two scores.

To tell you the truth I didn't understand this too well. For example there is Catacomb of Knoss. It has 2 missions. I scored both of them differently. But from what I noticed there is no way to put both scores for this FM (different for Mission 1 and different for Mission 2). There is only Story/Atmosphere/Gameplay score or overall rating. I can't fill them both. Or maybe you want for me to put these scores in additional comments.

No, I mean just average the two and report that. So if on Story you gave mission 1 a 6 and mission 2 a 10, give it an 8 for Story. Or, add up the 3 scores for each mission, average them and then give an overall score out of 30 for the mission that way. For example, if M1 was 6/7/8 = 21 and M2 was 8/8/9 = 25, then the average of 21 and 25 would be 23. But you can't vote different scores for individual missions within Knoss, you have to vote only for it as a whole.

So... I've played my way through all the FMs - and what a splendid cornucopia of thiefy delights. Constantly delighted, impressed and blown away by it all. The opening vids and voice acting are top notch. Brilliant contest - thank you, you talented bunch of taffers.

Thanks to everyone for this basket full of missions!
It's going to take quite a while to get through all of them. :D
And it is really nice to see quite a few new names around in the list of authors!
Hope you'll stick around for some time!

There aren't as many new names as it appears, but I agree!

Until now I played approximately half of the missions (didn't finish two of them) and can say so far: The results of this contest are really amazing! :eek:
Usually contest missions are not my favorites because of (time) limitations and therefore resulting bugs or/and rotten compromises but this contest had a reasonable period of time so that most of the FMs are high-class and exciting with fresh ideas and have been obviously well tested. I'm really overwhelmed and want to say thank you to all authors and people who helped! :thumb:
About the scores ... I didn't rate any FM yet. I'm not sure whether I should rate them immeadiately or later when I'll have an overview about all FMs. :confused:
OK, 23 FMs are a lot but I always write some notes in DarkLoader so I hope I'll not forget the FM contents after all. :rolleyes:
