I think it's time to look for an expansion of our current judging staff. The queue is filling up and some of our judging staff is busy this time of the year with personal commitments, so now is a good time to hopefully bring in some new judges!
So, I'm opening up a thread for judge applications again.
The requirements for becoming a judge are not entirely strict, but I will require applicants to follow at least a good amount of these qualifications:
- You have at least some published movies on the site. Having more player points or active player points is a bonus.
- You have shown some variety in TASing different systems, genres or games. Being restricted to single series or single games is a negative point.
- Generally, you have some evidence of being an accomplished TASer who knows how to make an optimized movie and can recognize signs of suboptimality in a movie.
- You are able to playback movies on common emulators, i.e. BizHawk. You also have experience, or are willing to figure out playing back movies on more exotic emulators. Must be able or willing to playback movies on at least one of the likes of Dolphin, JPC-RR or Hourglass.
- You have at least some history of productive feedback on workbench submissions or WIPs.
- You are reasonably active on the forums/IRC and in decent or good standing with the community at large.
- You are able to communicate clear enough in English.
- You are trustworthy and able to act and judge submissions in accordance to the movie rules, tier-specific rules, and the judge guidelines.
If you think that you fulfill these qualifications well enough, then send a PM to me and tell me why you think you'll make a capable judge!
