Eh not really much of a reviewer.

by Lief Katano 12th January 2015, 10:44 pm

I did some reviews on Bulbagarden but I'd be lying if I said they were professional-esque.

I've thought about doing reviews of stuff before, especially video games that I might play on my channel (whenever that happens Dreaming

). I'll use it for other stuff too, but expect me to really put it to use once I get my Youtube "career" going.

Updates still tentatively planned for this week:

updates for this week that are still tentatively planned:

Feel free to suggest additions to this list at any time.

Also, on the subject of "forum-wide events other than just the occasional anniversary and holiday theme," I was thinking maybe we could have some sort of a monthly contest. Here's what I had in mind:

There are a number of seperate teams or factions. Each member takes some sort of a personality test to decide which faction they belong to. Each faction chooses a team color, team mascot, and team name.
At the end of every month, we take a score. Some sort of a weighted average that takes into account each of the following:
1. Number of posts;
2. Number of threads posted in;
3. Number of likes received;
4. Number of threads started;
5. Number of wins for certain games in the Game Room (First Poster Wins, Who's That Pokemon!?, etc.)
The winning team for each month gets some little bragging-rights badges for their profile based on their color, mascot, and name. In addition, each time a faction wins, they get to have the forum background in their color for the next month.

I was thinking the factions could be based on the four temperaments, but that's just because I don't have any other ideas. Feel free to suggest some. :B

the factions could be determined by choice at first, then by balancing out numbers after oh so many join a team.

I feel like a personality test would help give the teams a more defined identity, though, and a point to work around when deciding the mascot, color, and name. But yeah, we'll still have to balance it out.

It doesn't even have to be four factions; since we have such a small amount of regulars, maybe two would be ideal for now.

that's the number I was thinking

Battle of the sexes?

by **Caprizant** 13th January 2015, 4:25 pm

We don't have enough female regulars for that.

by Guest 13th January 2015, 4:30 pm

Then how about Dunspach and Dunspach Jr. (since they're mascots already)?

by **Truthseeker4449** 13th January 2015, 4:36 pm

*isn't all that fond of the current temperament test*

I think I wouldn't mind a little extra competition.

by **Caprizant** 13th January 2015, 4:37 pm

^^ Again, I feel we should go with something that gives the teams something to rally around and have a certain unpredictability about the results.

How about the right or left brain test? It's only 30 questions, gives you two results (left brain or right brain), and whoever gets a score within ~8% of each other can go on the side with less people.

^ I don't remember being very satisfied with it either; I'll find a new one later.

I like this test, it feels unbiased. I scored pretty much an even split.
