Judging

The judging process was described by Elyk in an interview with AWNews.

A lot of citizens who enter building contests and see it being "judged" rather than any other form of determining winners, the question that is almost always brought up is about being biased against or judges taking personal like to a citizen rather than the build. I've attempted to perfect the judging for the contest. What happens is, judges for the contest are not allowed to enter the world until judging day. Then, object click is turned off o­n the day of the judging and "numbers" are placed at the builds rather than names to prevent judges from taking a personal judgment of the citizen rather than the build. All contestants were also asked not to add their name or pictures of themselves to builds to show that it is theirs so, even though a lot of citizens would like to show and praise their build, I think that this is mostly about fairness rather than anything. As I know that no o­ne likes to be cheated in a contest. So even though that the contestants aren't allowed to put their names o­n their builds, object click is turned back o­n after the contest is over for everyone to see who made the build, and the winners appear in the newsletter.
