Thank you for this response and for taking the time to do so.
I understand and accept all of your points.
-Modification : (Aside from the notion of engine limitations. For example, with RPG Maker, I think 90% of plugins are useless if you know the engine. But it's true that it requires work and knowledge. But I understand the idea of making the competition accessible to everyone.)
I'd just like to clarify one small point.
4 - When I mentioned compensation, I wasn't talking about money or profit. I don't think I'm the only one who will commit to doing a piece of work, sometimes at the expense of their time and their physical or mental health, without thinking about the rewards. For some, it's their game to give it their all. When this happens, it can be extremely negatively received if a piece of work doesn't receive any comments (which is one thing), but especially if not all the judges find the time to test a game (which is even worse). From a perspective of promoting and encouraging creativity in the community, this can be a barrier or even a reason to stop trying. Some people participate to be sure of being rated and judged. So when I talk about compensation, it's more about psychological than physical issues.
On the other hand, I imagine that judges are volunteers and have a lot of work, sometimes testing dozens of games while leaving a commentary on each one. I know the time and work this requires. I don't diminish the judges' responsibilities. While being a judge is honorable, it does bring its share of responsibility.
The goal of my post isn't to remake a match or attack the referee. It's to ensure that every player participates in a good match with calm and respect for both the participants and the judges.
Thank you again for your response and also for your efforts in creating this event. Please be assured that I write all this without any animosity, but with all due respect and gratitude for your involvement.
Ps: If my comments are inappropriate, I apologize. English is not my native language. French, being an impertinent language, doesn't help either.
