Hey, wait a sec! I recognize a few of those names! It looks like we have at least a couple top 32 who made top 32 before. Wow, that is amazing.

I hope I didnt miss anyone.
Nice work, guys.
Making the cut twice is some serious mojo.
once you open up that feedback thread to those of us who didn't make the cut, i'll be there with my questions....
i'll have to do some reading, see if I can find a way to improve my effots.
And again - grats to the winners! wow - making the list twice is pretty good!

I believe these are separate Andrew Blacks.
I have to say, i'm impressed with the professionalism shown by the judges. while i'm disappointed I didn't make the cut, the contest has got me fired up about writing again. Most of that I attribute to the people running this contest.
I'll be watching the remaining rounds with close interest and notebook handy!

How would we know for sure? I did submit again this year and with out a city, state location or the name of our Item listed I came to the same conclusion as Clark.

Different email addresses?

The alternates should all have received emails from myself informing them of their situation. If you did not receive one, then it is most likely a different Andrew Black.
Unless there was an error somewhere along the way.
Which there was!
Andrew, you should have your notification now!
OK so is it the same Andrew or not? I'm all confused.
Wow, making the top 32 more than once. My hat is off to you. Amazing job guys!
Thanks Ross and Gary for clarifying. I will be ready with my submission just in case it is needed.
Congrats to Alexander and Matthew, I wish you both good luck this year!
Andrew Black aka MythrilDragon (RPG Superstar 2008 Top 16) is indeed an alt for this year.
Coool
We haven't said how many entries we had, but it was more than last year by several hundred.
So, uh... how many entries were there last year? :)
You know, the more I think about the fact there there are people who have made top 32 twice, the more impressive that is. You have no idea how many items we sift through. And we do it so quickly. Literally, to grab our attention that well twice is truly impressive.
Several hundred fewer than this year.We haven't said how many entries we had, but it was more than last year by several hundred.So, uh... how many entries were there last year? :)
I do believe last year had several hundred more than the year previous. So at least 2 several hundreds competed this year! (Which I think puts a minimum number of participants at 600.)
Was it only 300 the first year? Really?

There were more than 850 the first year.

I didn't have a figure for year one and my minimum was a very conservative estimate. If the first year had 850 I would guess that this year has between 1500-2000 entries, but that's just a ballpark guess.

Numbers make my head go all woozy, is this the odds/chance/whatever of being one of the top 32 once, or making the top 32 twice? 'Cause those three who did that must seriously be bucking some odds...
Assuming one wishes to attribute to chance what is probably better explained by sheer talent. :)
My guess is in the same ballpark, top 32 is probably about 2%... and yeah, that's just this year. If it were actually random chance, the odds of hitting twice would be well beyond one in a thousand.
Heh, good work, all of Top 32!
I can totally see all the repeat offenders being voted in the Top 8 to prevent them from becoming repeat-repeat offenders and to open up those precious slots.
if the number of entries keeps increasing like this i could imagine a 6 round Rpg-Superstar with a top 64, but i really doubt that'll be happening.

I'm not saying the numbers imply chance, I'm saying you have to be so talented as to be in the top 2-3% of wannabe designers, and there are probably a good few poor entries, and a fair number of okay ones (like mine to be honest), even then you have to be among the best of the best of the best to even get into the top 32. Say there are only 320 very good entries, even among this the 20% of the actual applicants, only 10% will be good enough.
So its hard going to get in, and phenomenal to do it twice.
Never tell me the odds!

First, it was awesome making the cut again. But, being recognized for making that cut is just as cool!
Congrats to Alexander and Matthew, I wish you both good luck this year!
Thank you very much. My monster just needs to garner the votes now, so we shall see...

Heh, good work, all of Top 32!
I can totally see all the repeat offenders being voted in the Top 8 to prevent them from becoming repeat-repeat offenders and to open up those precious slots.
I'd like to go on the record as saying I've no objections to this scenario.
Clark/Sean/Wes:
The second year one contestant (I think) who had entered in the first year and just missed the cut on a technicality tried again and got into the top 32. This year I gather there have been three contestants from previous years who've made the top 32 and alternates.
What about alloting 'seeded places' in the first Round in future contests to be filled with contestants from previous years?

I'd rather see someone with talent three years in a row manage to find their own place in the Top 32 than do well two years in a row and then be guaranteed a spot in the Top 32 (after all, it would suck for the #33 to behind someone who just missed it LAST year). The competition and the people you're competing against changes from year to year. Taking previous Top 8 competitors out of the competition also guarantees new slots opening up even if we otherwise had the same people making it in.
