My review is now edited and finalized. Ain't that spiffy?

Just waiting for my entry to queue through.

Ah, here it is. Flotilla.

Also, if anyone using a shitty non-standards compliant browser Internet Explorer notices any problems with the formatting on that piece, do let me know.

Here's my review: Utawarerumono (PS2)

Now let's hope my partner shows.

And that, as they say, is that.

CLOSED!

Can judges please HGMail me their result when they are done.

Good turn out, people. You all get differing levels of kudos.

For us. For them. For you.

Your team is screwed, EmP.

I can avoid death by not having a life.

I'm confident I can pull it off.

How long do we have to get our judgements to you EmP? I didn't find any clear date (or I missed it).

Age is a condition not a state of mind.

Question for the other judges: what kind of scale are you using? I know we're out of 100, but what score would you equate to, say, an A effort? What about an F effort? Are we talking 10 points for an F or a more "university" 50 points scale?

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

Just for clarification: apparently you're all giving the review a different obscurity score. This obscurity score is a separate calculation separate from the standard review score and should be added at the end once you have given a proper score.

F rank = 0
D rank = 25
C rank = 50
B rank = 70
A rank = 90

1 to 100
50% for readability
25% for clarity of game mechanics/thought
15% for proper grammar
10% for feelings evoked by the writing i.e., did the writer get the emotion of the game into the review.

Mine's a secret. It's so secretive I don't even know how it works. Basically I throw a bunch of percentages at the review, and whatever sticks is the score it gets.

The Obscurity Modifier works like this, however.

If I've heard of your game, -5. If I haven't, +5. Then the other 5 points are basically how much information I can find with a quick google search. Having no wikipedia page will probably give a +5, having a stub wiki page will be a +3 for example. But other factors will come in. But I'm a mainstream sort of gamer, so I doubt I've heard of any of these games.

I'll use this spot to report my judging progress.

7/13

I can avoid death by not having a life.

Good idea Jerec. I'll post progress too.

I am now at 6/13.

Your overconfidence is your weakness.

I'm having a lot of fun reading these. I don't think there's been so many consistently good reviews in a tournament in a long time. It helps that I'm not writing in this one.

Honestly, though, I think the writers here have all matured, myself included, and this is a really good sign of that.

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

I have them all done now and will be sending them to EmP today.

There some really good reviews.

I've only got five left. I don't know if I can promise tomorrow, as we're shooting all weekend.

But Monday for sure.

NOTE: I'll still aim for Friday.

I'll try to get mine done by whenever.

You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

2 left. I'll get them done in the next few hours. Right now I'mma take a break.

Edit: Scratch that. A bottle of wine came along and I decided to get drunk instead. Finish tomorrow.
