Description

It's about time we had another review drive, so hey, let's do this!


Rules
- Write reviews for games that are hosted on the site (they must abide by current review standards).
- Only reviews added to the site over the course of the time period will count.
- There is no limitation to what kinds of games you review, though there is an extra badge if you review more than 5 non-reviewed games.



How to Submit

To enter and receive credit for this event, please do the following:
Step 1: Sign up for the event by clicking "Sign Up" at the top of the user list:





Step 2: Write your review(s), keeping in mind our submission rules. Please make the reviews as insightful and engaging as possible! A member of staff may proofread the review for minor spelling and grammatical faults or inconsistencies.


Step 3: Submit your review(s) to the appropriate game page(s).






Be sure to include your score (if any) and an appropriate title:





Step 4: Wait for the review to be approved. It may take up to a week. You might receive feedback on how to improve your review before approval. If the time elapses before your review is added, I (Liberty) will make a note as to which reviews are still in the queue and count them towards your total when they are accepted. (They must be of proper quality. Spamming the queue with shit/placeholder reviews will see them ignored.)

Step 5: Submit the approved review to this event page by clicking the "submit" button on the top-right corner of the page.





Step 6: Repeat for each qualified review. To receive credit, each review must be submitted to this page by the 1st of March deadline!






Achievements

Badges will be given based on the amount of reviews you complete. Each badge has a set amount necessary to unlock that badge and the more reviews you submit, the better MS you can get. You can gain more than one badge, too, with each badge giving a set amount of MS to add up.
The increments are as follows:

01 Review.. - 05 MS - Quina
03 Reviews - 15 MS - Quina + Eiko
06 Reviews - 25 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant
09 Reviews - 35 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya
12 Reviews - 45 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner
15 Reviews - 55 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner + Garnet
20 Reviews - 85 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner + Garnet + Zidane

If 5 of those reviews are from games that didn't have a review BEFORE the event, then you will get a special Vivi badge worth 20 MS.
(If two people review the same reviewless game, they will both count as long as the game didn't have a review before the event officially began.)

I should check these fucking dates.


...Corf, when you said it had been just added to the site ("...right after I submitted my first review in forever..."), I thought you meant in the past day, not four days ago. >.<;

Alright, I can't go back on that now. Any reviews from the 15th onwards will count towards a total score, but only if they're added to the page and NOT for the Vivi badge.

...my fault, I should have checked (but it was about 4am in the morning for me so... welp)
I've made up my mind. I'll sign up.

I haven't played a single game in this website, so this event comes at a nice time.
Considering i'll be bed-ridden for a week, i'll have something to do.
Question: Any reason the event page says 'possibility' of netting Vivi? Is there a chance you won't get it, or does doing 5 non-reviewed games make it a certainty?
Because I was half asleep when I wrote the description. If you do 5 non-reviewed games, you will net the Vivi badge.

Fixed for the sake of clarity.
So technically it already started? Oh well. Guess some people will have a head-start.

Thanks for the adjustments, Libby.
I don't mind shorter events, or the idea of adding a lot of character achievments for FF IX, but the range of stuff to do should fit the time frame. And achievments to get, naturally, as you likely didn't want to give one achievment for each n every step. I guess that was the iffy point during planning.

So .. I may actually dive in there! (if I'm feeling up for it, the cold caught me)

Gl everyone! Still tough, but possible.
That was actually the part I knew straight off the bat I wanted - being able to get all the badges you qualify for and the MS associated with them being smaller in amount due to getting multiple badges. No ifs on that.

The amount of MS, though, and the 'rank' amounts were a bit harder to pin down, though. Initially I had the top set at 50, buuuuuuuut... even I realised that was too high for a one-week event. XD
Aye. Makes more sense that way. Bad combination with a one-weeksy one tho, because either the bar is too unreasonably low to get achievments, or too difficult a spread (like, one achievment every review would be alright difficult-wise, as it is already tough to complete over the week, but too easy for the number of achievments you, lest you wanna flood the achievment stats)
You got 100 ms for the last 13 at top, so getting less than 50 with alltogether and more reviews needed under a harsher frame was too little.

.. and 50 reviews, seriously? Libby?! Yer joking! : D
There are many past review events to look at! If 24 over 2-3 weeks was considered OMG HE DID SO MUCH. HAHAHA.. oh you :)

@Kylaila That's 10 a week. Better get to it, then, I'd say.

I think I did close to that for an event. We were making games AND reviewing them and there was a badge for whoever managed to review all of them, and I went for it.
Aye, that was the strawberry jam. With an extra achievment for reviewing all mcbacon jam games.

@Cash: Yeah, it's still a looming horrible top, but eh, on the endboss of the first game.

If I were a bettin' man, I'd bet nubli could do 20 reviews in the original time-frame.

As for me, I'll try this. I largely suspect I'll get a Quina, but, hey, ACHIEVEMENT.

Dude, I'm already almost to Amarant. I should be able to reach Freya tomorrow.

And one more review, and I'll have Vivi in the bag.
But that's the problem, marrend: nhubi doesn't seem to be around...

That's beside the point!


Anyway, I dunno if it's just because "Assault Girl" popped up on my playlist a moment ago, but, I might look into finally finishing my play of Luxaren Allure for this event.

I feel kind of cheap for only really producing reviews any more whenever an event like this comes around. But whatever, if I'm offered a motivational boost and extra makerscore like this, I'll take it.
Time to finally finish something I've been working on for months now...

Stuff done is stuff done. No matter when you do it!
It's like using new year to think about where you are in life and where you want to be. It's a good a chance as any :)
Just saw this now, I'll get to work on reviewing more games, is it ok if I have a copy of the same review on my own site?
Sweet! Another review event – oh, glorious day! :D

I’m hoping that I can get at least six of them out so I can at least collect the Quina, Amarant and Eiko (maybe Vivi?) achievements, since those three guys were pretty much three quarters of my whole party when I last played FFIX. The Zidane one would be nice too, but there’s no f*cking way am I doing twenty of them in the span of only a few days, especially with my track record lately and what’s been going on at home.

But, hey – it’s all in good fun! Here’s hoping for the best.

As long as it’s a review posted here that’s past the 19th of February, then you’re probably good.

Hey, nothing to it. (I'm practically the same) XD
