Any suggestions what to vote for? I generally don't like let's plays at all and think they're a colossal waste of time (for the viewer, that is, they're fun to make and helpful for the developer). So if there's any cool trailers or awesome pieces of music to vote for I'm there.

Edit: Chana, there's the media tab on the site, they're sorted by date so just look through them and ignore the ones outside the deadline)

Edit2: I think one reason this is so easily forgotten is that it is stickied. No one looks at stickies. I even completely forgot about this.

Yeah, the media tab helps.

I think the voting aspect of reviews/media is tough because it requires pruning of a lot of entries to be fair. That's why I don't expect much (in this case, 5 votes including my own).

But we finally received 5 votes!

RUNNERS-UP:
UPRC - Blackmoon Prophecy Trailer (1 vote. It's nice to see some trailers make the list! LPs are great, but Media is such an encompassing category.)
NicoB - Epic Elf LP (1 vote.)

AND THE WINNER:
NicoB - Princess Princess LP (3 votes and my guess many more if I polled IRC. That last video is classic.)

Congratulations, NicoB! You've won a special achievement! We'll be dividing up the other achievements this week.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this! The voting part will probably be eliminated from future content drives unless I can convince someone to help me compile a pretty voting system.

Thanks guys! Glad you all enjoyed my moment of extreme happiness. That video will forever remain testament to the best RPG battle I ever had, so big thanks to Nessy for giving me that! ^ o ^)7

Congrats NicoB (I voted for Epic Elf!) ! XD

So, do people who take part in this get makerscore, or only the winners?

Apparently this is the rule :

1-4 Media Submissions: 25 Makerscore
5-9: 50 Makerscore
10+: 75 Makerscore
So, yes!

Ah, yes. I just reread the front page. Let me see... I managed to get 5 Let's Plays uploaded to the media tabs, the Hellion one which went on for 4 parts by time of the release, so...

I barely qualify for the 50 Makerscore category. Not bad, considering.

Hurrah, one vote! That is one more than I expected!

I think we all knew that NicoB would win though. His Let's Plays are really great.

I still need a list from Deckiller for the achievements and who gets what.

It's per submission, not per video. LP submissions typically feature multiple videos per submission. For this contest, the LP videos were to be submitted in 5-part chunks (if the game went longer than 5 videos, that is) to count as a single submission, and the drive ran from March 13th to April 2nd to correspond the actual March Madness tournament.

However, we've decided to award achievements to anyone who submitted media from March 1st-12th! Christmas comes twice a year on RMN ;)

So... I had a one video let's play, and a let's play that only stretched for 4 episodes by contest deadline...

Do I get no credit then? :( Even after I got the microphone and tried so hard to make content?

Well, apparently yes, you do, if you read the bold of deckiller's post.
