So many people just try to power through it only to make things significantly worse.

Well, since I'm moving in tomorrow (assuming nothing goes wrong at the last minute), someone will have to remind OD that his week is up next until I get my internet set up. (=P No, really; you've been really good about it lately; I haven't had to remind you at all. Thanks for that.) Not sure how long that'll take. Probably a few days, but could be a whole week or two. And, well, there is budgeting to consider, though really, considering how cheap my rent is, the cable/internet package should still theoretically be in my budget range.

Just a thought: might it be better to simply have a review of the week and no second and third places? Bloomer's RotW this week had me thinking... I wonder if it isn't patronizing to receive third place during a week when only four reviews were submitted? I dunno. The entrant pool has become so depressingly small that the placings seem to magnify that fact. Or how about Review of the Month, like they did back at GameFAQs? Just thinking aloud, really.

You have a point, Marc. Because of the lack of general activity on the site, I'm going to leave it up to the judges whether they want to include second and third place in RotW during weeks where only 3-4 users submitted anything. As for switching it to Review of the Month, if this doesn't pick up at all, then I may well do that. I suppose I'll give it to the end of October before deciding on this for sure. On the bright side, a monthly thing will give the judges more of a break between rounds, but it will also give them more reviews to read when their turn comes (at least if there actually is a week in which a significant amount of content is submitted. If not, then I imagine they'll be reading about as much as they would during a particularly productive week.)

I want to mention that Matt's Bodycount review still hasn't been upgraded to featured. Uh, so there...

I like how I personally handled the previous week when I only had three reviews (gave Suskie the win after critiquing all three. It's giving everyone what they want (a praise-filled critique) which is what, to me, RotW is for. Letting people know what they did good.

Besides, if we went to monthly, you know what would happen? I'd wind up going first, there'd be a huge spike in reviews, I'd have 30+ and I'd likely cause poor WQ an ulcer trying to get me to get it done in even a remotely timely manner (ie: before the next month's was up).

Yeah, I don't know if I like the idea of RotM. I could see bi-weekly, but then what would you call it? Review of the Bi-Week? Review of the Half-Month? I mean, I know we have a reduced population, but maybe this will spur us to increase the pop a bit.

Re: my 3 places for 4 reviews week. For the most part I haven't had only 4 reviews on my week. Usually I've have 5-12. Maybe that's just been a fluke.

Man, I forgot about this. =/ That's a bad sign when even the manager starts forgetting to stay on top of their stuff.

Do forgive me, bloomer, for dropping so many reviews in one week. If you'd like, you can forgo including most of my reviews for RotW contention this week and only read the ones I'm submitting for Castlevania games (there will be three in all, unless my Symphony of the Night one doesn't drop before Sunday). If you do want to read every review I post, hats off to you. Just know that I don't expect you to read and consider all of them.

I feel like we need a .gif to accompany Zig's statement.

Can someone do me a favor and volunteer to take this week (October 30 - November 5)? I have my reasons for making the request, which I would imagine some of you can guess, but I'd rather not explain myself here. So... any takers?

I could do it. What's your reason for asking? Also, are Lewis's entries permitted?

Lewis should be counted, yes. I can tell you my reasons the next time we talk on AIM. Thanks for stepping up!

Marc has been removed from the rota. I have replaced his seat with myself for the time being. if anyone wants to take that role instead, just speak up.

I'll be out of town and computer-free over xmas. So I'm looking for someone to stand in for me for December 18-24. The alternative is I do it, but it will be at least 1.5 weeks late.

That's fine. I'll see if I can find someone, but if I can't, you may have to just do it late. Thanks for letting me know.

That swap would be okay with me. We better see if it's okay with OD.

I can do this. In fact, it might help with me being more timely with my next one if it's the week after this one and not this one.

Then it's settled. Bloomer will have Dec. 11-17 and OD will have Dec. 18-24. The schedule has been updated accordingly.

I just realised I'm gonna need a bit of staff assistance to help ram things into place if I'm to do the week of the 11-17.
