Next time, just say, that you linked it. No need to quote, but if you insist on quoting it, please put it in spoilers.

Keep up the good work though.

Finals Thoughts: Beta Ray was a lot of fun to play, and 420 seems to work, even with not doing so well.

[TrollBrute]

He under-performed there a little, but he did well in Asterius' tests. I'd be fine with 410 or 420 here.

[Viegon]

Agreed, he looks set for 410/420.

[marrowick]

I think 420 is a pretty good point mark.

It's up to the LD to move the design forward in to the next stage. Once you are comfortable with the design and the point cost, you'll need to make a proposal to move to the Final Editing stage.

Yup, the LD is the guide for the design as it makes its way through the C3G process.
