Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

Articles of Excellence is a thread used to display the best review, voted on by the members, over the span of two weeks. How does it work? During every two weeks, reviews will be submitted and accepted, these reviews are eligible to be featured in this thread as an Article of Excellence.

How exactly does the voting process work? Amongst the eligible reviews, the one that you think is the best simply needs to be included in a PM sent to Insanity Prevails at any point for the current list of eligible reviews listed in the first post. The deadline for voting in any given period is Friday midnight (GMT) two weeks from the start, whereby the winner is announced and voting for the next period may begin. You can view the newly accepted user reviews on the front page's bottom section on the right panel, or on the panel on the right side of this forum.

What do you get if you win? Other than the fact that the members voted your review the best one for that time period, which should give you a feeling of self-satisfaction, and your review will be entered into the annual best of AoE contest. Additionally, you and your review will be featured both in the forum header and in a blog post by IP until a new winner is chosen! Plus all the associated kudos from other members around this forum.

Current reviewing period: December 12th, 2009 - December 25th, 2009

Once this period is up, submit your votes to Insanity Prevails for what you think is the best user review!

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

After a brief delay, AoE can start up once again. First, let's take the time to congratulate the winner of the previous round.

Congrats to Vergil Ties for winning with his "Final Fantasy X" review.

With that, voting can begin on the next round. We're back to two week periods, but I hope the longer than usual list of reviews won't deter too many of you from voting.

Feel free to use this thread for comments, suggestions, gripes, congrats, thanks and anything else relating to AoE.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

Did you make 5 this week?

5 is a double digit if you round up really, really liberally! =D

I kid though, given that I am an utter failure when it comes to remembering to vote in this! =O

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

Afraid not Mish. Only a couple of votes for the last round.

I'm all for ideas to boost votes per period. I suggested moving the rounds back to two weeks in part to my idea that it would lessen the "burden".

I do remember an idea was tossed around about PM reminders to individuals that would agree to them (obviously we can't go mass spamming inboxes of random people for this... ) but for those that might forget I wonder if such a thing would be welcome? I admit that I don't remember what happened with this idea.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

I thought that suggestion was ringing quite a bell in my mind, so I stepped back and had a look:

quote
I would send out a PM to everyone who contributes reviews on regular basis and ask them about trying to vote when they can.
And it was indeed, me. There is definitely more than five people who contribute regular reviews, by logic we should be getting more consistent voters than we do.

Only other thing I could think of is having a sticky thread in a general place that people would see updated, though I'm not sure I would want to see the people of Loungin' voting for example, so just take that idea as one I'm hastily burning in a bin but I figured I'd share anyway. Something similar would be nice though.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

I thought Chad would've forwarded the votes before demoting.. Or is that all he got too?

Sounds like a good idea.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

That's all he got. Would have been strange for me to get vote PMs last round since I've only just taken over.

OK, I'll set about scouting out relevant people and seeing if they're in for a reminder system. In the meantime if any of you want to PM me stating such interest that would save me some trouble.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

I have to say, AudioSlave's Mirror's Edge review is one of the most controversial and detailed of the list. It certainly made me think about whether to buy the game with all the information he put in there.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

Another round comes to an end and we got 5 votes in this time.

Congrats to the winner Gamecube Guru with his Eternal Sonata review.

Votes also went to Vergil Ties' Tales of Symphonia and AudioSlave's Mirror's Edge reviews.

Voting is now open for the new round. Thanks for the continued support.

Woah, it looks almost as if kriken2909 had been saving up his reviews, haha! That or he was pulling an IP and just felt like writing a lot of reviews in a short amount of time.

Hmm, this should be an interesting round.

Hahaha, no, I just started. I just do a review or two a day.

Thanks for putting my reviews up there, Insanity


EDIT: By the way, if anyone is reading, I was kriken2909, I had my Neo name changed

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

You're still going too by the looks of things.

Anyway, we've had three votes in this time so it's time for the winner anouncement.

Congrats to Vergil Ties for winning with his "Soul Calibur III" review.

The decision was unanimous as all three people picked your review.

New round begins today. Congratulate, comment and vote away.

re: Articles of Excellence - VOTING ALWAYS OPEN

Good on you, Vergil. Knew you'd win this round... I don't agree with some points, but it was still a good review regardless.

Just gotta love his response to my comment in comparison to his response to Insanity's.
