Petition to increase event period to two weeks? Anyone?

Heck, either way, I'm in! It's about time I hit the 3k mark.

09 reviews - 5 MS - Freya

RIP my participation in this event

Also someone should alert Pizza about this. I'm sure he'd love a Freya achievement.

I'm almost certain that Liberty themed this event around FF9 because I was joking about a Freya badge on Slack. Hell, I even told her to use the Record Keeper sprites for the page. So don't worry, I know about it.

That is exactly what I meant. The psychological effect is always there, and the achievments are forming a frame of what you are shooting for, or what you can achieve during the time regardless of what you choose to do.
Ignoring the achievment is what it ultimately comes down to if you want to take any part, but it is annoying to ignore, and the opposite goal of what achievments are supposed to do. They should add fun to an event.

I am calm now, but sorry to say, this is the equivalent of putting an unbeatable boss somewhere in your game you can't beat even with highest level, perfect equipment and battle planning. There simply is no reason for it to exist.
I have never seen anyone consider this as a viable option, either.

You should be able to do it if you have time and the will to do it. (without killing yourself in the process)

It's fine if you choose to not do it, it's no fun if you have no choice in the matter.
Fact is, I will have some time on my hands. I might be able to actually make it .. maybe.. if only by half tricksing. I like to go all in or leave things be, and I love achievment hunting.
But actually doing it in this case - even if I could pull it off - means torturing myself beyond measure, putting many many wonderful things off and that simply because the scope is unreasonable.
It is puzzling to me why it was set up like this in the first place when noone is even supposed to be able to achieve it.
And here I know I potentially, maybe, could. And that possibility is forfeit and just makes it even worse, as torturing myself for long periods of time is a horrible thing to do.

It just spoils a lot fun of doing it either way. And all the fun would be so much more fun.

Damnit, and right after I submit my first review in forever. Can I please use my AEI review for this event?

Yeah, I'll count it.

And he knows.


Well, technically the time limit is a week and a day. And unlike the last event, you get each badge you reach (so you can come out of this with all the badges if you do 20). Also, you didn't get each badge's MS amount to add up, so let's say you get 9 reviews, with 50 MS per review already, you'll have 475 MS. It's an additive effect - there's a total of 55 MS to get, not just 5. I'll admit that I had some trouble figuring out reward levels, though, and might boost them a little (it'll be like, 5 extra MS per badge if I do.)

I might extend it a little time-frame wise, but don't feel like you have to reach Zidane levels. We just have another event planned for the week this ends, so I didn't want them to cross over too much (they already overlap by two days) but fine, I'll make it til the end of that week (the Friday) which will make it one day shy of two weeks.

Well then surely my review, for the same game, submitted the very next day, should also count! Right? Riiiight?

Okay, so Reviews #2, #4, #5, and the rest of the between-badge ones yield nothing but their usual 50 MS? That kinda blows :(



I wonder if anybody will muster 10 reviews, let alone 20...

We're dumb in Canada, Libby. Just ask kentona. He'll vouch for us. I know he will.

=01 Review.. - 05 MS - Quina
<03 Reviews - 15 MS - Quina + Eiko

Oh, ffs. Didn't notice the signs. Well, that explains EVERYTHING.

It's okay, I just rewrote it to hopefully make it much clearer. Basically, if you write enough reviews to get past one 'rank' then you'll get that many badges until you pass the next 'rank'.

If you write 13 reviews, you'll get the badges applicable for writing 12 reviews (and if 5 of those reviews were from unrated games, you'll also get Vivi's badge).

Yay :D The Zidane badge isn't impossible anymore. Just improbable.

Who else is going to be playing a lot of 5-minute games? *high fives all around*

Straight up.
