Plokkey: the same applies to all competitions like that...the later entrants, if they've been paying attention, will know what the earlier entrants' standards are like. In this case this means you can post as late (or as early) as you like if you think that will affect the competition.

I may actually not be running the competition in later stages and might even write my own reviews, so with that in mind, just write your best!

Ok..

Problem #2: People can just copy the comments from here and have a lower chance of being caught because yea..

Also is the deadline the 6th or the 3rd?

No they won't- that's why we encourage longer reviews here: they're more visible and copying comments from here can and will be picked up, I mean it's in the same thread :P

I agree it would be too easy to spot copies of other peoples work

Plokk those are some minor problems, copiues are usually easy to spot, more so than you think. People have a certain style when writing that is easy to pick up, and it is tends to become noticeable of they copy. It's how teachers do it too. :p

Also if this becomes popular enough, and people start copying earlier works, then we can put in place a system where you submit your review somewhere people can't see it and it will only be posted here when said competition is done and we are judging! :D

But I don't think there should be a problem :D

I would like to do this but it is oct. 14 and there in no new commpitions and no entres, i am suprised to see that people care so much about the safty of there comments. That is what we have moderatros for. Also no one could us them in a later commpitition on here, cause for one: it should never be the same game 2. And 2 if ypou just keep it on here, mods can  look back and make sure no ones copyed.

I think this turned into epic fail. So far there are no entries except for Klaushous' which will not earn a prize.

Yep, currently we are in a state of stasis (not quite fail, that would be if we decide to scrap the project altogether). But right now I just think it just needs some rethinking and revamping. However I'm already busy with the art and poetry contests, and the rest of the forum, and Klaushouse is busy with school, and Apocalypse...are you busy? :P
