  Ulterior Motives : 09/12/00  



[09/12/00] - Sometimes I get stuck what I want to say in my introductions. Usually I start with little personal infos, my current game(s), and exciting upcoming things. However, I have been trying to sit back lately and really think about what I would wanna see if I was just a random reader of the section. I come to the conclusion that I don't know, since there's 2 really good choices (well, maybe 3). I could continue the way it is now, I could take a more formal approach and start introducing the reviews in the update, or I could do a little bit of both. So, faithful and new readers alike, tell me what you wanna see please :)

My most sincere apologies to CLOUDBOND007, who went Bronze last update. At the time I missed counting one of his reviews as well as realizing that my archives were sadly behind. Credit where credit is due, CLOUDBOND007's reviews will now be bronzed, and I'm glad he brought this error to my attention :)

Stewart Bishop brought up an interesting point when submitting. Seems he'd submitted reviews before PsoV opened. He wanted to know whether it counted towards his silvering or not (as a side note, he leads most reviews with 9). Yes, it does. When submitting, don't forget to mention how many reviews you've written, even if it is your first time or you submitted before PsoV existed. This way I can keep an accurate count. Thanks :)

UPDATE UPDATE! Besides the obvious new color scheme (thank you Goog!), reviews are now marked as either staff or reader; games are marked as reviews or retroviews. Easy 'nuff, no?




Review Writing BooBoos

  • Paws@ versus Reviews@
    Now, don't start sending me apology letters, this isn't pointed at any one person really. I also understand that when you hit 'reply', you're automatically mailing paws@. However, for first draft submissions, section fixes, critiques, comments, flames, the usual spam mail, etc, should generally go to reviews@. Personal stuff (which I always love to receive and try to answer every one), should go to paws@. If you're not sure, say so, and email paws@ :) Hope this clears up any leftover Q's.
