Crawlathon WR, get down on my level.
I want to take the time and make a direct apology for how submissions and registrations have gone for this event. Clearly there were a lot of issues. I take full responsibility for those issues. The entire staff have been awesome, picking up the Slack, to avoid making this an "Awful: Games Done Quick".
Starting shortly after AGDQ, you're going to see a lot more direct communication from us. We'll open discussion to a litany of things. Charity selection. Ways to improve submissions. An elaborate overview of what makes a good run, and how to submit one. Discussion on what the community would like to see happen with GDQ in the future. How scheduling works. A lot of stuff.
We'll take it one topic at a time, incorporating that feedback into future events. Running an event will never be a democracy, but it doesn't mean it has to be a dictatorship. This will ensure that people are heard, and even if we don't agree on everything, you'll know why.
We'll also be starting SGDQ's planning much further ahead. We're currently thinking March as a submissions timeline, in fact (SGDQ2016 dates and locations will be announced very soon).
Maybe it's not enough in some people's eyes. I understand, bridges can take time to rebuild. This is about bringing the speedrunning community together for a great cause. So let's make it the best one we can.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
