If you're having trouble recruiting new reviewers, then it's possible that the test wad you're asking people to review is part of the problem.

It's not an easy wad to say anything useful about, or one that is particularly enjoyable to playtest. It's kind of like asking people to qualify for an essay-writing contest by first writing an entertaining story about the contents of an empty box, and as such is acting as a barrier to people who would quite enjoy reviewing, and be good at it too.

Just a thought.

Or maybe the problem is the more standard one: that it's always hard to find volunteers for unpaid, time-consuming work.

While I won´t deny any of the statements made about the wad (I think we picked it up at random and maybe also because it was kind of annoying and hard to talk about) I tend to think that the second argument is much more valid... Also, the part related to the wad, I don´t know, maybe we set up a high standard: sometimes it´s hard to talk about a wad at all

Talking about talking. When is the next review due out?

Hang on - Don't tell me - I know.

It's all FATAL's fault, he's not taking the wad reviewing seriously, as usual.

FATAL · April 10th, 2006, 06:42 AM

Actually, it's danimetal and his bumarsed bumming that's bumming us down.

Boohoo, Grazza made fun of my map. He's a bum.

Doom-Dork · April 10th, 2006, 06:51 AM

LMAO

I was wondering has danimetal misspelt is name. I mean did he leave a 'n' out from between the 'e' and the 't'

rustyslacker · April 10th, 2006, 05:56 PM

DAMN

I reviewed a 1995 wad, no wonder it sucked. Somebody should have put a date on it in the damn wad list.

Danimetal · April 11th, 2006, 05:58 AM

Fatal, I´d actually appreciate if you shown some respect towards your partners in public forums.

FATAL · April 11th, 2006, 07:12 AM

Hahah...

Oh, you were serious...

BWHAHAHAHWHAHwhHaHHAHA

FATAL · April 11th, 2006, 11:56 AM

Already there!

Illdo · April 12th, 2006, 01:39 AM

Hrrrrr.... hrrrrr.... post the new reviews plz. or I will summon 12 Hell Knights to slime you.

Danimetal · April 12th, 2006, 04:39 AM

If you keep on being patient you´ll have the NDCP review. There´s nothing else on my side but there are two more reviews to be read. I wonder where the reviewers are and how long this project can be put in a hold without falling asleep.

AlysiumX · April 16th, 2006, 12:26 AM

Sup all, I finally made it back on here, looking forward to doing some more fantasic reviewing

.

FATAL · April 16th, 2006, 03:34 AM

Thank goodness. The project is almost dead when AlysiumX isn't around.

I think I'll write now one review to show that we don't totally depend on him.

Oh who am I kidding...

Danimetal · April 16th, 2006, 07:32 AM

Welcome back Alysium, I hope everything went just fine!!!!. You´re just in time for some reviewing as I´m putting a batch of them together right now and also reviewing some wads other than NDCP myself so we can have something to read during the next week!.

AlysiumX · April 16th, 2006, 09:22 AM

Really reviewing the whole ndcp by yourself? I could help if ya want, we could split it 16 and 16 to speed up the review

Danimetal · April 16th, 2006, 10:00 AM

Yeah, I am... I´m already at map 23 or something so I´m near the end XD!. What I would need help with is with map 19 as it´s my own map and it wouldn´t be fair if I reviewed it. I think I told Fatal to do so but you can do it too so the first to hit, first to be published

.

FATAL · April 16th, 2006, 04:09 PM

Oh I can't review that map. I would have to fear for my life after releasing the review.

Danimetal · April 16th, 2006, 07:05 PM

If that´s the case, would you at least prepare the list for our reviewers to feed upon?. The new reviews are already up (except the forum work) so we need more wads. And we need them quick.
