I'm going to move this over into the discussion topic to see how other people feel about the way we run this contest. We've always placed an emphasis on running it like a serious competition, which seems like it's been pretty successful. But sometimes I do feel bad about enforcing the rules, Menji's 2600% is one big example. One of the main problems is that it's hard to draw a clear distinction between stuff that's completely obviously a mistake and something that's just probably a mistake. If I were going to try to apply my judgment to the situation, I would probably have allowed Menji to fix his, I would not allow Wigs to change his, and I'd still be losing sleep over what to do with DSR's. =) We've avoided that so far just by going with the "exactly as written" rule. What do the rest of you think about the strictness of rules enforcement in this contest?

Yeah, with some it's completely obvious what they intended, like with Menji's, but I like that you don't allow any wiggle room. Keep it as it is, imo.

Also, I've been doing terrible for all of round 2. :(
