Just got done scoring and id find it usefull to increase the points able to earn from 5 to 10 in each category. That would give more leeway in the ratings to more acurately reflect our feelings. It also wouldnt feel as bad to give lower scores, which imo is also important as giving everyone a 3 or more feels like the nice thing to do but doesnt acurately reflect the gab in quality between different builds. Going up to 10 gives the option to better differentiate the builds in scoring, as for example i thought that mr hyraxes build was pretty good but there still was a very obvious gab between it and villanelles build just by matter of scale alone. Rating them 4 and 5 does reflect it, but imo the extra wiggle room of a 7 and 10 would reflect it better, especally when we consider the builds id rank between them, as for example hugos build is absolutly lovely and feels above mr hyraxes but below villanelles shere scale, so just being able to give it an 8 or 9 would be nice and surely help clean up any ties.
Id also think something like a "Level of Detail" category would be usefull, cause that often is what makes a good build a great one. Creativity in idears of what you do and the pure aesthetic of how good it look are ofcourse important and shouldnt be replaced, but it just feels fair imo to add a thrid category here to honor those that went beyond whats nessecary and also to point out in score when a build has good idears, when it looks decent, but just needs a bit more detailing to get from good to great.
I also find the animal welfare category to be a bit redundant, as it can be expected that all builds will either have it anyways as its very easy to do or activly refrained from it as a creative choice, for example finis build where its about a literal stray so it just muddles up the points a bit imo
Sometimes I don't feel inspired but then I just start doing something I like, even if its not the main goal, and then when I get going the flow state begins and I can tackle the harder bits.
