Just so everyone knows, casting for contestants will be open on October 1st (my time). This season there are gonna be a number of minor changes in the gameplay. Nothing too shaking though, and these changes may or may not be permanent for future seasons. As we wait for the casting to start for real, I'm going to reveal these changes (or twists if you want to call it that).

== #1 == Judges' Closed RecruitmentYep. The first of these changes is for this season, I don't open signups for the members of the judging panel. In place of it, I have handpicked several posters who I think are capable of being a judge. I have reached out to them personally beforehand and they agreed to take part in this season. So here they are. ----- We're starting with the obvious one. Continuing the tradition from the previous seasons, I'm inviting the latest winner to become a part of the judging panel. Please welcome…The second judge was a two-time Pulse Amazing Race racer. He also signed up to play on the last season of Last Stand but didn't make it past the casting round. After three not very successful attempts at playing, he had expressed interest in becoming a judge which I gladly granted. Please welcome…The third judge is someone who has taken part in all three previous seasons as a contestant. They showed interest in judging twice before but always missed the signups to be one. This season, with the closed recruitment, I'm giving them the opportunity to finally become one. Please welcome…The fourth judge is Pulse statistician and Pulse Discord server's #bot-abuse expert technician. Please welcome…The fifth judge is the first poster to receive the (unofficial) Pulse Bigshot title, courtesy to Ms. Leonagwen. Please welcome…Judges: 1. MoD2. rom3. taylor4. Leaf5. Devil Marlena NylundThese five fabulous posters will be the people deciding how far you'll go in this competition if you choose to participate this season.

I’m excited too! I’ve never judged one of these before but would occasionally pop in and consider how I’d judge if I were able to so this will be fun!

As a former judge I can say it's a really fun experience, it really helps gives a better look at the diversity of Pulse between the songs everyone sends and the scores from the judges. It's a really great way of getting to know some users better and a really fun way to discover new music and maybe rediscover some old favorites or find songs you like/love in common. It was one of my favorite moments on Pulse altogether tbh so I hope all the judges have the same fun I did!

== #2 == Hosting Duty
This change is loosely insignificant to the gameplay, but I need to announce it anyway. As you may have noticed, there are already five judges sitting on the panel and they don't include me. For this season, I'm stepping down from my position on the judging panel and will only act as the host. This means you will no longer have to worry about my opinion on the songs you want to send.
However, I still have a power that may or may not decide your fate in the competition. More on that later.

== #3 == No more options
The two previous seasons have rule where you can send two songs and I will choose which one I prefer. This season, you are no longer allowed to do that. I will no longer choose the song for you if you send multiple songs. However, you are still allowed to send multiple songs in order of *your* preference just in case your first choice is already taken by another player.
Casting opens tomorrow, so keep your eye on the thread!

Ngl I think I forgot that ruling back in season 1 and only made use of it in season 2, with that said I like this change.
