Description

What is it?
Media Madness Month is an event where participants create media for other people's games over the given period. The aim is to either give feedback or show support for the games you enjoy or the ones that need it. Let's show each other some love!

Media in this event is defined as one of the following: Reviews, Let's Play/Try videos, Fan-made trailers, Fan Art, Fan Fiction and Musical scores. If you want to try something else, send either Nessiah or Liberty a PM and we'll let you know.



You may only submit media that is for games that you are not the lead developer of. You can give media to games that you've helped out with, but if you created a project then it's not allowed and won't count.
Follow the Guidelines on how to submit. Read them, learn them, breathe them, love them.
Submissions should be added during the course of the event. You can check it by looking at the top-right of the event page. The date shown there will be the end point. (It's set to whatever offset you have the site time set to, so if you're +8 hours and have set your site-clock to such, it will show the ending time in your zone.)
You may have multiple submissions - in fact we encourage it!
No teams.
Be respectful and put at least a little effort into your media submissions, please~



Each day bounties will be posted at the bottom of this post. These games are completely optional and judged by Liberty as to who collects the bounty. The better quality the submission for that bounty, the more likely it will be chosen as the 'winner'.

You will be told how many days you have to complete a bounty when that particular bounty is posted. If you haven't completed that bounty by the due time, you may still add it as a general submission to the event.

Wanted games will be ones chosen at semi-random which haven't had much love shown to them - both old and new, from any engine and genre. Essentially, they'll be another 'list' of games provided for this event, but rest assured that they're completely optional.

Each successful bounty will award you with one Bounty Point. These will be used at the end of the event to determine a special something...



MEDIA PAGES
To submit media to a project, go to that projects game page. Under the title image there should be some options including Review, Subscribe, Nominate, Submit Media and RSS.

Click on Submit Media and fill in the media page, choosing the correct category.
Add Media Madness Month to the title.

If you are submitting video content where there are more than one video (so LPs or LTs) you MUST have at least 5 videos to a page if there are more than 5 videos in the series or at least a balance.
For example, if you have a total of 8 videos, 4 over two pages is acceptable, as long as each video is at least 10 minutes long. All 8 on the same page is also acceptable.)

If you have done more than one piece of art, add them to the same media page. In the case of over 5 pieces, or if they're large, you should use hide tags.

Be aware that it takes time for media submissions to appear as they are subject to being checked. This means that if you're writing something on the page it should be of good quality - ie, readable with minimal spelling and grammar errors.

In the case of Fan Fiction, use a normal media page. If it's a very long piece or of questionable nature (that is, over M rating) use hide tags and - in the case of Mature themes - add a tag above the hidden work letting readers know that there is questionable content within.

REVIEWS
To submit a review, go to the game page and click on Review. Follow the directions on that page, making sure that the written parts of the review are of sound quality - that is, proper grammar and spelling; decent aesthetic properties (paragraphs, working picture tags, not hard to read colours or font sizes) and non-inflammatory.

Remember the Golden Rule of Reviews - point out the good as well as the bad and try to be unbiased or at least, keep your opinion as correct and non-abrasive as you can.

Once done, make a comment on this page using the following code:

[b][color=green]Review for[url=<address of review> [color=orange][u]<name of game>[/u][/color][/url].[/color][/b]


Due to the way the event pages are set up, reviews and Media cannot be submitted at the same time to the same event. Hopefully this will change in the future, but as it stands it is easier for reviews to be done like this. I will post a list of the reviews at the bottom of this post.

If you have any questions, submit them in the comments and either Nessy or Liberty will get back to you.

BOUNTY
To collect a bounty, follow the above submission guide except adding the word 'Bounty' in the title of the piece. Then submit as a normal submission.

After that, drop a comment with a link to your bounty submission before the date/time you are told and add the following line in Bold/Blue:
"Bounty Collection for <name and link of game in grey and underlined>."

Underline, grey and link the name of the game to the media page.
A handy code:

[b][color=blue]Bounty Collection for [url=<address of media/review> [color=grey][u]<nameof game>[/u][/color][/url].[/color][/b]


GAME AIMS
In the hide tag are a list of games for us, as a group, to aim towards completing. If every game gets crossed off there may be a special little something for all who contributed to the aim.

We will also be hosting a super special raffle with a secret prize up for grabs!


One ticket per media/review submission for any of the games from the below list.



COMPLETE REVIEW LIST



A BOUNTY HAS EMERGED!

WANTED! FOR THE CRIME OF BEING UNDER-LOVED!







The Arementon Marine Office asks that these three amigos be rounded up before Tuesday 11th, 11:59pm GMT.

Forced Recall still roams free! The Marines have upped their bounties! The first to catch them (with decent quality) will gain double the bounty! Contact the Arementon Marine Bounty Dept before the 9th to claim your bounty!

REMEMBER! Don't post the link to reviews unless they've been accepted to the site. Bounties are exempt from this as they need to be claimed before the due time.

Time sure flies by when you're having fun ... same thing for RSW (that's 3 months for that one). :P
I already sent the achievements a long time ago (like srsly the time this event was started even) and already told them about it and followed up. Now I'm just too busy. ;~;
Nobody blames you D;
We just want our sweet badges so we can be the cool kids on our respective blocks.
I just wanna see what the badges even look like. :P

And take your time. We can wait. ^^
I'm curious about this. What seems to be the problem exactly? There has been other contests and plenty of give-aways lately, and Kentona seems to manage well all on his own, so I'm guessing that's not it... Were you guys planning something else?

Edit: Well, in that case Kentona should step it up and deliver. That lazy bum... ;P
I know that for this one it's just giving away the achievements. But me and Liberty can't do that. But Decky/Kentona/someone who can access the badges should do it :o
We'll just keep bugging them until they do, though.

Uh, yeah. About that...

*Edit: Sorry. I guess I'm just wondering about these events have been on the stack and waiting to resolve. No M:TG reference, there.
For the RSW, we're waiting on me. I'm sorry! ;.;
We have a podcast coming but I made the mistake of ingesting alcohol and fiery marshmallow at the same time and burned out my throat. Gotta wait on the doc's all clear before I'm even allowed to talk.

We have a podcast coming but I made the mistake of ingesting alcohol and fiery marshmallow at the same time and burned out my throat.
I'm sorry to hear about it, but I just wonder how such state is even possible with such 'ingredients'. o_O
I'd imagine the fire bits of the marshmallow mixed with the alcohol parts of the booze in a nice container known as the mouth and throat and Lib put on an impromptu fire breather impersonation.
1 - take a swig of alcohol
2 - eat flaming marshmallow
3 - breath fire/choke on flames
4 - cry from pain and rush to emergency

Luckily I had enough sense not to breath in because apparently that would have been VERY BAD for my health. As it stands, my throat is thoroughly scorched and I've been on painkillers for the last week or two. Add in a minor cold (coughing is hell) and you have a more irritated throat than usual.

But yes, don't drink and eat marshmallows. As a moderator of RMN it's my duty to take the hard risks so you don't have to.

(So that explains it, then.)
Badges :D
Being a nuisance pays off.
Bummer. Just one badge. If I knew just two more entries awarded me a second badge I would have submitted more fanart...

SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!? ;_;

This should be our tagline for the site! Hope you feel better soon Liberty and thanks for the badges, Deck!
I scored the most bounty points? What?
Hey, I’m just as shocked as you are that I won the most review challenge.

(…Did I really do that many reviews???)
