All three judges (being Lavarinth, Dread and myself, Ricky_Honejasi) have reached this agreement for the winners over a long discussion.
Ricky's logs are the best source for such information. We purposely didn't list placement for all projects because do not want to encourage negativity and discourage the creation of projects. If there's one thing I can say is most of the projects were well done. Some of them were the first campaigns by a few, others have gone through multiple, but they were all a great step towards learning the process to craft something. Perhaps in time we'll list our personal reflections on the campaigns, but that is up to the judges themselves.
Congratulations to all the winners! I think they deserve the win.
Now, I wonder if we could get a more compressed version of the winning entries. Like, 300mb is kinda heavy? Anyway, I think guests and fans out there, including myself, would appreciate much if the entries had light versions, or ones with smaller file sizes. Is that possible?
Also, you're implying that only North America has decent cable/DSL, which is not the case; pretty much everyone but Australia does, and Australia could still download those.
Would someone be so kind to provide download links to these awesome campaigns? I would like to replay them, but I could only download the Vile Egression, and for the other campaigns the download links are seemingly long dead.
