Umm...
Yeah. Let's just leave it at, "Umm..."
I don't come to the Escapist much anymore, but I'm still interested in these results.

Alright, I spent an extra hour last night discovering that my list with all of the contestant names on it got corrupted, so I had to go back through and piece together who wrote what. I'm 99.5% sure I got everything right, but because I bounced between 2 e-mail addresses and forum PMs, I'm not completely sure.
So, all of the names are attached to their respective reviews, and I'm combing through my PMs checking for recieved scores. Apparently, the messaging system was faulty at the time all of the reviews had gotten in, and mjhhiv, myself, and probably a number of other folks sent full PMs that were "sent" but never got sent. So I'm needing to chase down a handful of judges to really close up all of the gaps. (Danzors, I'm looking at you.)
So, everything on my end is as done as it can be until I can get a hold of two judges for the remaining scores. Also, a third judge who hasn't sent in any scores at all. Expect, at latest, this time tomorrow, since some of the judges are on wildly different time zones from myself.
That's the best I can possibly do for now, short of actually physically calling the judges whose numbers I have, and taking whatever long distance charges may come. And if the comments need to be re-done, I doubt they'll actually get done this time of night (for them).

Hmm, if the reviewers are taking this long to review our reviews, I think it's time we got some new ones.
Nuke, I know this isn't your fault, but maybe you should just use what you have to get this over and done with. As much as I like feedback, waiting this long isn't that appealing.

Yeah, as much as I like Danzorz, if he is simply too busy to get it done then we should find other means to get this competition finished with.Lord Krunk said:
Well, I haven't found a hell of a lot to come back to here, but in the past month or so I've been seeing if we could get any results at all. It's really not that important, but if taking ten seconds to badger whatever reviewer can't find his lazy ass five minutes of spare time will get the job done any faster (at all), then I guess I'll take that opportunity.scotth266 said:
If from May 18th to June 29th you didn't have an hour of "free time", kill yourself, because your life is horrible. If (as I suspect) you've had a few moments where you could either look at reviews for thirty minutes or shoot up some Zombie Nazis for thirty, and you chose to cap some undead, there's no excuse. I'm all for having a good time, but the internet is serious business, and if you sign up for a job for this competition then you need to honor that decision. I don't volunteer to be in the bomb squad and then skip a day because I'm tired, and likewise, I don't volunteer to be in the bomb squad when I know that I'm going to be in Paris for three months.
Wow, this thing's still going on. That's cool. Once I find a job I'm going to be turning this into Review Wars 2.0, a much more simplified system with stricter, but longer, deadlines.
However, priorities an' all that.

You pretty much summarised why I haven't written my Halo 3 review yet. After 6 months. I found my self wanting to review other stuff instead, but my neat freak tendencies insist that I complete the trilogy before I do.Say Anything said:
The circle must be complete... It'll take me an age to muster up the willpower, but I will complete it...
I am a single entry away from having all of the scores compiled. As soon as I hear back on it, it'll be released and we can all move on. I'd love to have a single finger to point, but it's really been a lot of stuff that has delayed this process. I know several folks have been at fault, myself especially.mjhhiv said:
But, it's doing well right now. Soon, you will have your precious. Until then, it's not far off now.
When is the next competish? Didn't know about this thing until now, and I have done a number of reviews, consisting of at least one decent.
Good to know. One question, may I use reviews I've previously published on The Escapist? Just want to make sure. Otherwise I'll just have to write some new ones and, you know, not publish them.scotth266 said:
