As quoted from Foxy in http://www.planetminecraft.com/tickets/837/ :

"But regardless of this, things like lore and renders aren't factored into the Presentation Score. The presentation factor is about how well the build itself is presented in-game. For instance, you could make the most complicated and amazing group of castle builds in history for the contest, but if you did something like scatter tall bulky towers around the castles which obscure their visibility from a distance and make it difficult to know what the castles looked like or how well they were done overall without going out of your way to closely examine them and map them out to figure out what they look like as a whole, then you may score pretty high for Technique and Execution, but you would have done a poor job at presenting the build, resulting in a lower Presentation score. This is just one example and there's more that goes into it, but this should give you an idea of what we're looking for with that."

You said you were a judge yourself, but it looks like you have a different view on what the presentation score is ("In reality I think judgement is done 33% based on how the project itself is placed on PMC. For example the lore, quality and effort taken to make the project page nice and add value to the project."). Foxy specifically said the lore is not part of the presentation score.

Makes me kind of question the communication between build contest judges.

To be honest though, I'm not sure how this would significantly increase rating quality.

To clarify, this ticket is not about the quality of judges and/or about looking at renders or not.
I for example didn't look at renders the way Nordwolf and Tickandtock are reffering too. It only served to get more diamonds in the first fase and for me as judge to balance out between a higher or lower point. Mostly I didn't take real notice of the renders other then personal enjoyment.

I guess, this is the effect of making presentation weight so high. People think judgeing is about the good renders.
In reality I think judgement is done 33% based on how the project itself is placed on PMC. For example the lore, quality and effort taken to make the project page nice and add value to the project. Which on its own is a good thing to judge.

So this ticked could server multiple purpuses.

Couldn't agree with you more. Many many times presentation outweighs quality. I wish there were more people that could see through renders like us builders can.

I will also add that in presentations renders are often aren't created by the builders themselves, rendering the whole "solo" contest premise quite a bit skewed.

I agree. Considering the purpose of the contest is weighed much more heavily on creativity and the build itself, and not so much on how the build looks in renders, or fancy gifs in the description.

I wholeheartedly agree, glad this is being brought up.
