Hello Guybrush,
Very glad to hear that more Crymod members are interested in our competitions.
I can't go into details, but i can tell you that the two items you mentioned are being looked into (amongst many other things), and will most likely change for our next competition. We are currently still closing down this current competition, and when that is done we will start the whole process again for #18. Don't expect anything to soon though.
cheers!
J
