chr15t05 Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Hey guys... cmon? Where's the jorno comp gone? U mean there were only 2 entries so the whole thing was canned? Don't one of us win by default? c'mon. I want to say I won something (unless the other guy one of course) No one has to know how many people entered.

Si|ent Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 I think it was just made unsticky. But your right we had kind of forgotten about it due to the lack of response. Ill dredge it up again and see if theres any people wish to enter now. If not then yes looks like you win The artist formerly known as [MTA]MrBump
dystopia Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 oh, was that the report for mta, or make a report about mta thread? If so i had half an essay typed up, but it went the way of my anti-cheating document when school started getting tough :\ It makes you want to drink the sun

Slothman Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 heh, the whole thing looked like a "write us fanmail competition" asking a member of the community to write a review is like asking a religious fanatic to write an unbiased article about jesus.

Prokopis Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Who mentioned unbiased? Wouldn't you prefer an unbiased objective report to the alternative? There is no spoon...
Si|ent Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 It's not a case of what we would prefer. Its a game review not an indepth report on insider dealing. Most reviews will rave about a game if the reviewer liked it. Or criticise it heavily if they did not. Neither stance is unbiased as it is the reviewers opinion therefore WILL be biased. And as the majority of people reading these forums are already fans (not to mention the hardcore few who will bother to write a review) it is doubly likely to be biased.

Slothman Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 my point was it seemed like a "please write us some fanmail.....we'll pay you!" type thing, it sounded kinda needy Check out my recent work: ZDay - a zombie script Slothbot - an AI deathmatch bot my community profile (all my resources)
chr15t05 Posted May 1, 2004 Author Posted May 1, 2004 This is a friendly competition giving you a chance to flex your creative and journalistic skills, (or show that you in fact have none!).What I'd like is player reviews of MTA:VC, in any style you like. Imagine you are writing freelance for a review magazine or website. Screenshots arent necessary but if you do use them then please post only thumbnails into the thread, (you may of course link those smaller images to full size ones if you so wish.) Content is up to you, but perhaps a little history, first impressions, the community and future plans could be mentioned as well as the gameplay experience itself of course. Post entries in this thread. : Please note this is a friendly competition, there are no prizes, (Although I may be persuaded to give you a special forum title if your work is outstanding). Submitted reviews become the property of the MTA team and may be used by us in the future for advertising or contact emails, although we have no current plans to do so : Happy writing. So nothing "begging" and nothing saying "and we will pay you" in fact it says "content is up to you" and "there are NO prizes". Glad we cleared that up.

Are you saying any reviewer's opinion will definitely be biased one way or another? No such thing as sincerity, fairness and capacity for objective evaluation I guess, huh? IMO that's kind of a biased opinion in its own right there... Meh anyway, IMO you're underestimating the ppl here greatly if you consider them incapable of objectively judging MTA (whether you'd call them fans or otherwise). Even more so, those that have stayed here the longest and played MTA the most, I think would be the most reliable to sit down and tell ppl what is really good and what is not about this mod. That's that I think and BTW, as christos pointed out, it wasn't supposed to be a kind of fan-mail style thing. There is no spoon...
