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.)

You can do it, Liberty. I believe in you.

Just remember that outsourcing can also be your greatest friend. *nudge, nudge*

I want 9 so I get Freya, but I also have to finish off my swapsies game so... orz

I'll find a way.


Mystic Dawn is a short game that should be a pretty easy review.

I mean, if you want to.

\:3
If short, others like minigames are far easier. Like Desert Commando and Brainbow. I don't think you should be searching for them all that much tho .. if you have no time that's ok
And that's nine.

My 20 are there. Been a tough week for me.
.. and reviewing so much is just as tough. But I did it anyway!

And gj piano and sacredlobo who did the same quicker!

Please don't make that amount a regular thing
It's not hard writing the reviews...it's playing the games...and so many of them are soooooooooo terrible. I mean, we've all made bad games, but some of these must be troll games. There's no way people are making some of these bad by accident.


I agree that it's usually worse to get yourself to actually play them (altho this week I also had trouble focusing on writing them, it can bring you back into the slog)
But I disagree they are meant to be that way. Some, sure, as a joke. But most? Nope.
Gam Mak is a skill like any other. Not all art is made beautifully, but that part is still important.

Ok. I just submitted my 5th review for the vivi badge. If it gets approved before time runs out i'll get it. Time to clench my teeth, and press and hold down and b.
The creation date is still there, so even if it was approved afterwards, it would still count!
Good job, by the by ;)
I'll be counting those within the queue as long as they look like they'll past muster and are added before time runs over.

No, I know. I was mostly thinking of Lost in Fantasy, which is so painfully, comically bad, I truly suspect the dev made it that way on purpose.
Gotcha. On to read and see what it is about then, hehe.
My personal best example would prolly be Ratty's Densetsu no Kusoge .. I, uh, enjoyed my time with it.

Yeah anything submitted before the deadline counts, don't fret about being approved in time.
Speaking of deadlines~ It's over! Woo~ Great job all. I'll make a start on checking the reviews that haven't been added to the gamepage (but that were by people who were obviously taking part) and then hand out badges.

Ya'll done good.

Submission queue is cleared out so all eligible reviews are approved.
Thank you for your hard work, Soli. I know you were unexpectedly drafted into this and really appreciate your help. ^.^

So what you're saying is I should get a special Beatrix achievement, right?

I'm glad I got enough towards Eiko, at least. I'm happy to see such a huge turn-out for this event!

The amount of makerscore gained these past two weeks has been crazy. Imagine the numbers.

I know that when everything is said and done, I will have made over 1500 ms. Of course, I did things other than review to get that ms, but the vast majority of it came from this event.
