GBAtemp's Member Review Competition

[dice]

why not just make it that the better of the marked reviews (from the same person) gets scored? Makes it fairer that way.

Wrote a review for Summon Night and just submitted it

When can I expect to see it up?

Meh, I doubt anyone will care about my opinion on this, but I just wanted to say that I disagree with the rules of this contest, mainly the "quantity" one, and I'll state my reasons below:

First of all, giving marks to a review is extremely hard to do. People tend to give a lower score if someone bashes a game they like, or give an higher score if that member praises that very same game.
Second, that rule simply promotes bad works, as in trying to tell people "submit as many reviews as you can, without caring for their quality"

My suggestion, if one was asked at the start, would have been the one of giving the AVERAGE value of the score the person got in every review, or even make a championship-liike contest, with people being required to post reviews with a certain type of game for each round, or something.

I would gladly submit reviews to GBAtemp and those who know me also know that I am quite good at it, but such contest is just ridiculous in its current terms, and people may just write bad reviews. Therefore, I will stay out of it.

I have a feeling the winner will be the overall best contributor, versus using some odd point system. Reviewing someone's reviews just seems so bizzare.

If you write a review, and it's approved, do they tell you how many points you get for it?

No, you have no way if knowing if your reviews suck.

No, you have no way if knowing if your reviews suck.

Typo.. "if knowing if" should be: "of knowing how much"

How long should I wait before I expect my review to be up?

Don't expect. There is a chance it might never be up.

I like to stay positive

 

[Extreme Coder]

I'm writing reviews of everything DS-Related I have, including my DS itself. xD

 

[yee]

Just noticed that some people have actually written more than a dozen reviews and how are some people with not as much time actually write that many?

I think you guys should allow as many reviews as the author wants to write, but have them pick a couple to enter in the competition. That way, all is fair, and everyone has a good chance of winning.

Cool.

I wrote a review about a DS game that noone will care about actually. All fun stuff but I'll gonna go be positive too.
I won't try and review lots to win though :/ I'm pretty sure that it'll be a bitch to ship the prize to the Philippines and I don't want to hassle anyone with that.

Haha, when I'm not busy, I'm going to send that game onto my Supercard and try it myself

A NDS game in a GBA card... sounds like a flash cart burned with a NDS game.

Can we get any kind of offically (staff) confirmation of how reviews are scored with multiple ones.

In the example it makes it seem like that if you submit 2 reviews each earning 2 points you get a total of 4, but if you just submit one and it gets a five you beat the other person, however what if you enter 3 reviews and get a total of 6 points (3, 2 point reviews) then that person (despite all of the reviews being crappy) would have been better then the person who wrote a 5 point, near perfect review. This seems more quanity over quality however with the way you mentioned it in the first post it makes me feel you meant to explain it otherwise. Could a staff please explain?

How you explained it is correct. If someone posted 3 reviews that got 2 points each they would beat someone who posted a single 5 point review.

But bare in mind that if the person who wrote a 5 point review continued to write reviews of that standard they could write less reviews and beat the person who wrote more reviews.

I predict TheGreat2nd winning.
