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.

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...
Cheers and thanks....

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.

Week 13 is here. There were only 10 participants last week, so that means 3 picks. Enjoy.

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).
