The Map-Rating Group (Discontinued)

Posted: 2008.10.16 (04:50)
by Nexx
Welcome to the Map-Rating Group. (aka MRG)

Anyone may participate in this group at anytime.

Group administrator: Avarin (aka Nexx)
Inspired by: squibbles

Basic overview of this group:
Every Monday, all participating members are split into groups of 5. Within each group of 5, everyone plays and rates (at least) 1 map by every other author in the group. Then each person posts the URLs of the maps they rated in this thread. In this way, each person in each group gives 4 rates and receives 4 rates each week (ideally).
Note: Commenting is optional but encouraged.
Note: You can be in two groups at a time, if you like. See "Double rating" below.


To join:
If it's your first time joining, just post in this thread saying you'd like to join. Easy as pie! Don't forget to give your NUMA username (if it's not obvious). It's also best to include some map suggestions in your post. (See "Map suggestions" below.)
Note: Once you've posted, nothing will happen until the following Monday, when you'll receive a PM from me (Avarin) giving you info about the new week.

The first post

In this first post, I keep track of all group divisions for all weeks as well as everyone's participation within those groups for every week. If you ever lose my PMs or you want to see a previous week's info, just check further down in this post.

Announcements and reminders

Each week, I:
- Make a new post on Monday showing the new group divisions for that week.
- Send out announcement PMs on Monday to all participating members.
- Send out reminder PMs on Friday to all participating members who have not posted their rates yet.

Map suggestions

Participants can suggest maps of their own for others to play. The other participants are not required to rate these suggested maps, though they generally give them a look. All recent map suggestions are kept in the second post in this thread.

Any participant can update their map suggestions at any time by PMing Avarin with the necessary information. Map suggestions can be either specific maps (4 max) or a sublisting of the author's maps (i.e. all of his/her unrated maps, all of his/her race maps, etc.).

Double rating

Frequent members can opt to participate in 2 groups per week (though not on their very first week). This means the member is placed in two different groups and has to give out 8 rates total (per week), but will receive 8 rates in return (per week). Any participant may update this preference at any time by PMing Avarin with the necessary information.
Note: Due to group size constraints, typically some participants opting for 2 groups will only be placed in 1 group (called "forced singles"). In those situations, I determine which members get shortchanged in a random but fair manner: everyone opting for double rates will get it once before anyone gets it twice.

Not turning in your rates

It happens, unintentionally or otherwise. It's to be expected. But here's the catch: if you plan on participating again at a later date, save that last reminder PM I sent you, because you will have to complete and post those rates in order to rejoin. And if you deleted all the relevant PMs, the information can still be found in this first post.

Be respectful
This group is based on goodwill and respect. Please observe this tenet.

I quit. There's no incentive to stay here for my maps' sake 'cos you're probably all bored of going to my maps and seeing that there's no new ones. And I can find enough good maps to play without the help of this thread usually anyway...

Ok, twentythree, read up on the thread for more details on to how this group works. You'll be in next weeks picks, which happen to be picked tomorrow(or today) I believe.

I always leave this to the last minute, being the procrastinator I am.

And how do you choose which ones to link to?
Is it a program you wrote or do you just pick whoever you want to?

You're getting there, but you still need to rate a map by Erik-Player and a map by Eiturlyf. Please try to get those rates in sometime in the next few hours.

Neither, but the first is closer. I use an Excel file to keep track of all the stats, and I use a handicapped randomized system to make the picks (the random numbers come from random.org). This information will be in the first post once spoilers work.

Btw, congratulations on your luck, Erik-Player, since you were just chosen two weeks in a row. You're the 2nd person to have such luck. Riobe was the first, back in Weeks 6 and 7.

:( :( :(

That makes me want to share some information about record-holders: As of last week, mam (and potentially Daikenkai aka DDRave, depending on whether he posts) was/were the only remaining member(s) that had submitted rates for every week since this group's inception. However, since both mam and Daikenkai have, at some point, skipped a week and submitted rates later, the record for longest consecutive weeks of participation is currently a tie between Riobe and Eiturlyf, who have participated every week since Week 2.

Haha, interesting. Want to add that to the main post? =P

Umm...Avarin, I can't send normal PM's ATM. My PM box is messed up. When I attempt to send something that isn't a reply, it says "No recipient defined". I'll look around for more details on this, but incase I don't find it, any solutions?

EDIT: Clumsy mistake. Fixed now. =)

Avarin, you PM'ed me to say you'd be changing it up a bit so that the author's who were picked could recommend maps for the raters to rate. I said I'd give it a shot. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any changes so far, so I'm not in on this. Please consider me out until these changes have been made. That goes for you too Riobe :D
Cheers!

Also, I think it's high time I made an announcement. From now on, everyone participating in this group will be able to give map suggestions for maps to rate. This way lottery winners can redirect participants to specific maps of theirs if they want, and raters can use that information or just rate whatever they feel like. Here's how it works: All interested parties need to drop me a PM with the suggestions. I am capping the suggestions at 3 per person. If you send more, I will ignore everything beyond the third. Also, anyone can update their suggestions at any time (also through a PM), but please be respectful of my inbox and keep in mind that depending on what's happened the past few weeks, you may not be picked until 3 or 4 weeks down the line, so please try to give suggestions that will be applicable later as well as sooner.

That said, since the next lottery is happening tomorrow, I will PM members who have a good likelihood of being picked so that they may make use of this new feature ASAP. Also, I will put this in the first post eventually, but not until spoilers come back. I've PMed LV about that (again), so hopefully the first post will look nicer soon.

I would think that participating members should play a map that is unrated and RCE that one. That's what I usually try to do when I do my rates.

That's a good idea, but certainly rating rated maps is not a bad idea. And if you were trying to make a point in relation to the new feature, I should point out that people can still rate whatever maps they want (and the primary link will be still send you to the author's general listing).
