imtimi still has not returned, so once again I am forced to take on the task of writing the weekly update.
Livio wrote a blog post discussing how we could improve the level rating system. Over the course of a few hours of arguing with a small portion of the interguild, he made a decision to change how levels would rated. Soon after, shos, jellsprout, Quirvy and Yaya all responded in consecutive posts arguing against the proposed system, and criticizing Livio for seemingly settling on the issue while a good amount of the interguild was in bed.
One thing that did come from the blog post was that now small words appear under ratings, in an attempt to change the way people rate levels, so that the standard for an average rate is lowered.
Quirvy won Neopets' Cave of the Week, this week, with his really old cave, Mach 5.
On Thursday, guyguy, upset over people karma rating a review of his negatively, requested and has been granted a custom karma count, despite Dando's disapproval. However, people will still be able to karma rate his posts.
On Thursday, Livio passed his 7000th post. His post was quickly greeted with a karma of -3, but eventually rose back to +1, and now stands at zero. Livio's 7000th post paled in comparison to Quirvy's 4600th post, but it was still a pretty significant milestone.
8 hours later, Livio released the latest Aeon Demo, with updated graphics, a level editor, and characters from GF4's "The Interguild"!
Isa is gone for about 2 weeks, and in the mean time, Overlord will be filling in for him on the KarmaBites. It is not known how much she will contribute, but at least she brings confidence and experience to their team.
I bet you're all wondering, 'Hey, where are those IO competition results?!?!'
Well, worry not, because we have completed judging the Water and Three Arrows Competitions. All that is holding us back from releasing the results is the fact that Livio still hasn't judged the Hurdles Competition. Once he accomplishes this task, results will be released. So I encourage you to send him multiple Private Messages urging him to resume his duties as a judge.
POST OF THE WEEK: "In the beginning, there was Jellsprout"
TOPIC OF THE WEEK: Who should Marry Dando? (note: took place before the previous weekly update, but there really a new topic since then, so I just chose one from this week, but before the weekly update. But you probably don't care anyways)
LEVEL OF THE WEEK: Steel Insanity!
VIDEO OF THE WEEK: canadianstickdeath's 'These Caves Upload'
BLOG OF THE WEEK: Sprout's HatPC Research Blog
GF4's Weekly Comic

I don't think I can make a link that will automatically send Livio a pre-set message.
I tried to find a "&message=___________" to add to the end of the URL, but I had no luck. The best I could do was the subject.

It should be noted that I finished judging all three the competitions before Livio even started. At this rate, I'll probably have judged this weeks entries before Livio finishes.

I got 21 PM's from all you guys. They were all very politely named "FINISH JUDGING OR DIE" and here are all of them in order:
'Kittikiyana' said: Quirvy made me do it 'Quirvy' said: get to work livio 'Kittikiyana' said: blame Quirvy 'Kittikiyana' said: quirvy made me do it 'GF4' said: So I encourage you to send him multiple Private Messages urging him to resume his duties as a judge.
I was told to do so. 'Harumbai' said: Thats it really 'canadianstickdeath' said: 'canadianstickdeath' said: :sever: 'canadianstickdeath' said: 'Quirvy' said:
Do you see this cow? He's angry. Do you know why he is angry? Because you have yet to finish judging. 'dando52' said: I demand your resignation, giving me control of the interguild, as a result of your failure to provide competent judging.
As a result of receiving all these threats requests, I will get the results released today. | | dando52 |

She probably would have sent him PM's from all 20 of her accounts, talking about how the Peach Political Party disapproves of him not releasing results on time which is in violation of some random non-existing rule.

I have to say, kro's bunny PM was pretty disturbing. And when I think about it, getting a blank PM from CSD with the sever smiley is also very disturbing. | | dando52 |
