First of all, special thanks to Skaky and Yandros for their hard work. Fantastic contest.
Thanks to all the authors, testers, voice actors and anyone else who helped. The missions were terrific and gave us all many hours of great game play. I was especially impressed with the authors who submitted a mission as their first effort. Incredible (my first FM was very lame). Please keep making missions. Dromed is addicting (in a good way).
Congratulations to all, there were no losers in this contest, only winners. The biggest winners are the players.

Congratulations to everyone who entered and played these missions. I think this is a win for everyone on both sides. So happy to see the community thriving after two decades. Thanks to skacky and yandros for starting and seeing this through, and to everyone who contributed and played. I had several things keep me away from my desk over the last couple of months, so I still have several missions to play and I am excited to finish them.
I am thrilled to have been apart of this contest, and to finally be able to call myself a mission author after 'tinkering' with DromEd for so many years. I also can't believe you guys liked Bedlam as much as you did! I was ecstatic to see the scores.
Several big projects on the horizon for me, some I was working on long before the contest. Planning to release at least one FM this year. Also have some surprises up my sleeve. Still debating if I have time to invest in the T2 anniversary, we'll see!

Congratulations everyone-- I hope no one feels bad about where they placed, this contest was fantastic from beginning to end.
I'd be interested in tallying my own personal scores to see how my rankings hold up to this...I feel like it would be close.

AUTHORS:
* Let me know within the next few days if you do NOT want any of your mission's comments posted publicly. Otherwise a few of the comments for each mission will be posted here within a week or so.
* Also, I have begun privately messaging ALL of the comments your mission received to each of you. Give me a day or two to finish that.

Yeah no objections here!

All good, go for it.
Melan on 6/3/2019 at 10:21
Publish all of them, no objections whatsoever.

Feel free.
I'd also be interested in a post-mortem thread, especially for other new authors for discussion of Dromed-wrangling and design issues.
Eg: Why is Game mode Alt-G, but the "never ever do this" turn-off-grid option Ctrl-G. Arrrrrrgh.

@Yandros, you asked to let you know whether we do NOT want any comments to be published. I agree to publish them, except comments containing crucial spoilers.
