This is a game we used to play until someone abused it. I'm reviving it now, hoping that individual has long gone bye-bye.
NOTA BENE: As far as we old-timers can figure, this only works on the *old* site, as you'll see when you start hitting links. benj, way down on your to-do list would be to make it this easy to isolate reviews using various sorts under the new regime.
OK, here is a page of 100 reviews of mine with no votes:
http://www.fwxr.com/display.asp?start=13201&id=5154&Mode=reviewer&Sort=2&Rows=100&Dir=1&do=
What you do is read every review on this page -- nobody else has given these curs the slightest cuff -- and then post here to tell me you've done so. Then gimme a link to a similar page of your own unvoted reviews. I promise that I will visit every page thus indicated. [Remember: you have to visit my page FIRST!]
It becomes mania, trust me. And a pox upon the scofflaw who deliberately ruined the first iteration of this game by going back and voting for every 0-vote review s/he could find.
But meanwhile, let's play! |

As far as I am concerned, a review which "cannot possibly be understood in isolation." is no review at all.
As it happens I have two reviews in this FYCTH round which are best read in tandem, but each can also be understood in isolation. |

(1) I have read and carefully considered all of the reviews linked to in this thread.
(2) Here are my reviews.
Lengthy? |

Oh, I didn't remember that part. I don't think there was any malice in it, but I agree that it takes the enjoyment out of it; however, I feel similarly when, from a thread like this, someone votes for one of the occasional reviews of mine that cannot possibly be understood in isolation.
Not only wouldn't I vote for such a review, but also, were I a MERP, I would never approve one which "cannot possibly be understood in isolation." Evidently the real MERPs disagree with me on this aspect, since those "occasional reviews" do show up, as you have just attested. |

Well, I still think that it is rather a stretch to call that abuse, but anyway, what on Earth are you talking about here? The over-voting happened in Canklefetish's thing, not yours. |

As I don't have any 0s, I thought I couldn't enter, but now here you are.
By the way, I don't think anyone 'abused' it. Wasn't there just someone new who was overgenerous and voted for all of the reviews?

Ah okay, it was just a matter of switching the direction a couple of times... I remember now that's how it used to work, but it's been a while since I've used the old site or anyone has done a voting game.
This should be it. |
