If I'm going for a different non official type of review, will that effect the prize? 2
And out of curiosity, why no captions? 3
1. As far as the community goes, it'll go up on this board as a round-by-round basis. Anyone with a user account can submit a vote, and I'll be counting the votes by hand. The only rule is to b careful of spontaneous new accounts showing up to vote. If they make one post - to vote - and never post again, they'll likely be disqualified as a vote.
2. That's the ever-lovely
Kuliani's field of expertise, so you're right to PM him there. Good call.
3. The 'no captions' rule is simply another step to the challenge. Incorporating a good picture is tough enough for a review, getting it to hit home where its placed is another point of a good review. Someone who does it right can really call attention to a highlight or criticism to a game. Its a subtlety that means as much for a review layout and style as word choice, sentence structure, and all that. How it affects the review should show up in the votes, and just adds some depth to the contest and challenge.
And because I said so. Mostly because I said so, in fact.
