Hi all, I noticed there was not a board yet for people to talk about and share rooms they saw when judging. Therefor, I made a thread for it. Feel free to post below about your favorite rooms you saw while judging, or better yet.. pictures for all to see. I have already seen some castles I completely LOVE!! I will share pictures of them after a little while. I am still judging at the moment. Anyway, share away!

Please keep this thread positive and kind. Also, please do not reveal who's room is who's or share which room is yours until after judging officially ends. I want to keep the judging as fair as possible and non-bias.

I couldn't take pictures of all the rooms bc I was getting too much lag. However I managed to get these two. I loved these two rooms, unfortunately I couldn't get the whole picture of the rooms.

I finished judging! Was happy to get so many great castles while judging!! I shared pictures below of some of the rooms I was able to get screenshots of. I stupidly and accidentally forgot to get pictures of some of the castles that I really really loved. I wish I had gotten screenshots of them to share and I do apologize to whoever the players are that built them for not being able to show pictures. One of them was called "Knights School" and was such a cute and nicely built entry. I also got an entry based off of the "I Lava You" Pixar Short. Made me giggle inside of it's cuteness! It had some nice details like how the player did the ocean waves and wrote "I Lava You" in the waves. Then there was this other ruin castle. I forget the the name of it sadly but it was nicely built. It was of these destroyed castle ruins and the room description talked about how the player could relate to the destroyed castle ruins. I could sense the depth of meaning behind the entry.

This room, called "Swan Song" is my absolute favorite one I saw this year! My first thought when I saw it was how pretty it was! It was cleanly done, a pleasure to judge and lovely to see.

This entry below was so splendidly built! I was very impressed with it and especially how the player used the ocean scenery that came with the room to make a pond in the bottom left corner. The details around the castle itself was very well done too.

This one had a pretty poem in the description! I enjoyed reading it and judging the room. I liked how the player showed distance in the room by having small people off in the distance and bigger people closer in view. The bridge was really really cool as well!

@Tatiana_SilverHeart Thank you so much for sharing! Actually, the first picture you shared was the castle ruins one I talked about in my post. I had forgotten to get a screenshot of it before I went to the next room to judge. So glad you got a pic of it and shared it here! :)
