Guess if any time to gravedig this, it would be now.

I will just quote James' post on OpenZC:
https://www.openzc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=541
I have asked the higher ups, and there is an agreement to have two 5th Quest Modules made for archival purposes:. One for finalists, one for people that didn't make it (modules only hold 10 quests:. There are 17, best way to split it up). The finalists will have their quests ordered in the order of finish, going from worst to first. The people that didn't make it will also have all their quests included unedited, including all controversial moments. The people that had a chance to qualify but got voted out late will be later in the module. Hopefully this will give a historical perspective on the 5th Contest in full, and why some of the decisions were made, even if not agreed on or rules changed for the 6th Contest.

Also, keep in mind some decisions were not easy or set in stone and did keep Gleeok and me up all night and more. There were some tough ones, and we made our best efforts.

We are going to go with final releases if we can; if not, use the last contest version submitted, because of the time passed since.

Contact naturesucks or me if you have any questions about the archive, and don't bug us before the 6th Contest closes testing (Jan 31st). The devs need a breather.
