Wow! A whole whopping 10 reviews this week! Give yourselves a hand, ladies and gentlemen, for contributing so much content to the site in such a short amount of time. Alas, there were several I liked, but I have to narrow it down to three.

Thanks for the comments on the review, Rand. Congrats to both darkstarripclaw and, especially, to Felix, who got RotW. Both wrote solid reviews.

I'm not sure last week's ROTW counted, as I believe the technical rules state that there must be four writers for a win to be given. There were only three last week.

We've had RotW's with only three writers before and no one said anything then.

Well, I've never really "governed" anything, outside of that one contest I held a ways back. On this matter, I quote Jason (in the ROTW official thread):

Ah. Alright. Fair enough, then. That's definitely a change from what it used to be, though. Sorry about that. Glad it's cleared up now anyway.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks, especially from you, Rand. It takes effort to put one of these topics together, so thank you for selecting me as the week’s winner.

Zipp: Ranking reviews and awarding RotW are two different things, though. I think what Jason is saying is that if there are only three contributors in a given week, it's more probable to honor someone who doesn't deserve. I did that, once -- there were only three contributors in one of the weeks I did, and one of them was lousy. So I awarded him third place even though I said in the topic that it wasn't all that great and that if there had been a fourth contributor that week, he probably wouldn't have placed. Kinda pointless.

I don't have the power to add reviews to the featured list, so I've never really been fully positive of the ROTW rulings as far as numbers go. From a technical stand point, there are reasons both for and against featuring reviews in slim weeks.

Or I will, being that my awesomeness demands I supplant those three as elite man-god of this place. I had a review (Pitfall 2) featured in the earlier days because it took first place...out of two reviews submitted that week. For that review of mine (that features an 0-1 record in the STT because it's a 1600+ word review of an Atari 2600 game) to be included as "featured", Suskie's should be, as well.

I wasn't going to bug any of the mods about it since I don't care enough, but thanks!
