We could make a lot of missions until they finish, but they won't accept any submissions.

My english teacher once asked her class how much time we thought she should send on each essay we turned in. The consensus was 'the same amount of time we put into writing it'. So taking an estimate of 3 hours per student, time the 30 kids, the problem became apparent. Its a lot easier to make an entery for a contest than it is to judge all of them.


Wrong. it more time consuming to make a mission than to judge it. But whenb one person has to judge several missions that does consume time.

I submitted 5 missions and spent a week working on them. Testing, changing, writing, tesing... again and again.

If I were to judeg 5 missions it wouldn't take me half as long.
but if I were to judge 30..that's a different issue. But I still wager I could do it fast. Then again, I have time to spare.

One week for each or one week for all?

All. But granted I did some small work on them before, so add a day or two to that number.

Just out of curiosity, are you judge types divying (spl?) up the missions? So someone does 4, another dude does 4, etcetera. Or are you guys all reviewing all of the mission so there's three different ratings for each??

Well, three reviews have been written out of three reviews each for a dozen or so missions received.  I have a thesis to do... I'm not sure what the others' excuses are. ;)
