The Map-Rating Group (MRG), Season 2

Anyone may join this group at any time!

Actually, this group is currently undergoing a trial of a new system. Feel free to join, though! Everyone still gets into groups of 5, but it's a little more freeform now than the system described below.

Why not use the Map-Rating Thread?
True, this thread is similar to the Map-Rating Thread, but here, ratings are done in batches instead of one-at-a-time, and participants have more freedom in what maps they can play/rate.

Group Overview:
 •  Weeks start on Sunday.
 •  Each Sunday, the current group of participants are divided into groups of 5, and everyone plays and rates a map (any map) by everyone else in their group. Everyone then posts (in this thread) the URLs of the maps they rated. Commenting is encouraged but not required.
 •  Anyone that does not make such a post will not be able to participate again until they make that post (i.e. until the person makes good on those rates).
 •  I, Avarin, will send out PMs to the participants: one on Sunday, announcing the new groups for that week, and one on Wed/Thurs, reminding those who haven't posted yet.
 •  Participants can recommend maps of their own for others to play (by PMing Avarin with that information), but the decision of what to play/rate is ultimately up to the player/rater. Please note: Format your recommendations properly or I will verbally abuse you! For individual maps, use the "[numa]" tags, and for links, use the "[url]" tags.
 •  Relatively trustworthy participants can become double-raters, allowing them to be placed in 2 groups each week (meaning they must play/rate 8 maps total each week). Being a double-rater does not ensure placement in 2 groups every week, though; it depends on the # of other participants.
 •  Be respectful.
 •  To sign up, just post in this thread saying you'd like to join, and I'll put you on the roster for the next week.

I would like to join

I assume you want to be in 2 groups per week, isaacx. And PM me your recommended maps.

Also, I just wanted to note the difficult in choosing colors that work with both light themes (Retronet) and dark themes (Hermes). So my apologies if that first post is a bit hard to read.

I'm in again, and like the end of last season, I would also like to be in two groups. :D

Also, the colours look great, on both light and dark skins. :)

Sure. I will make sure to post all of my links this time.

Sign me up as a double-rater.

Pined by request. You're welcome.

I will do this. Double rater if possible.

I would like to participate as a double-rater if possible.

Is there a limit to the number of maps one could recommend? In the last thread, I believe that number was 3.

Just so everyone is straight, this kind of thing is not necessary, though it's nice. I'm starting everyone over from scratch.

Yes, people should limit that to 4 just to be reasonable. I did not mention that in the first post because it rarely happens that someone wants to recommend 5 or more maps, so I figured I would just mention it on a case-by-case basis.

Thanks for pinning, gloomp!

This is still run on a week by week basis right? If so, I wouldn't mind trying it out for Week 1.

I'll do it. But it wasn't clear--do we /have/ to recommend maps of our own, or not?

Nah, you don't have to.

I'd like to do this thing here for week number one.
