After a defeat like no other, the NCR and RotW are being retired from the Review board....in terms of how they were run.

The replacement will be a new NCR, as well as RotM.

How they will work:

NCR will remain largely untouched; a list will be made each week and users vote, most votes win. Two important notes:

1. Judges won't be able to win that week.....like the old rules said.
2. Subscriptions will begin again; if you'd like a subscription, please post, or pm me inquiring about one.

RotM is clearly different....it's per month. Everyone that is active on the board will be eligible. So you don't have to be someone that writes reviews, previews, highlights, guides and more are welcome.

Reviews really should try and look professional. Grammar, spelling, format, this all really counts to the quality of your writing. People will take you more seriously the better your out put and work is. Please put effort into what you post here. Same goes for comments.

Thank you

Prizes for these contests are as follows:

NCR:

• Invincible
• Nsider Choice Review
• 100 rupees

RotM:

• 250 Rupees
• Reviewer of the Month
• Invincible

This final post will be misc things.....

Add ons, prize details, and most importantly, the subscription list.

Subscriptions:

1. Kodiack

I would also like to be in on this and still give the award for the NCR and RoTM. Along with that NCR will earn 100 rupees and the RoTM will earn 500 rupees!

So:

NCR gets:

Award
The Giant Medal for the post.
Sig Add On.
100 Rupees.

Nice.

For RotM, will it still get to go on the front page? That'd be cool.

Also, first week of NCR started yesterday, list will be up the end of Saturday, or early Sunday.

They also get the award in the award system: one for NCR and one for RotM. And yes it will go on the front page. ^_^ The one for the Month will.

Most Excellent, Rhyme.

Snoop, this will be a one man show until I can organize everything.

To anyone else, subscriptions will begin this coming week, so, if you'd like one, I encourage you to post or pm. As for the reviews for NCR, I will be counting the best of the best, and most weeks....that means all of the reviews. As of right now, this IS a writing contest, so video reviews will receive grading differently.

Questions may be posted or pm'd at will. Thanks,

~MoM~

Ah, it's the NCR. I believe I was one of the original staff members, but I know I was a staff member for most of its existence at NS1. O: Glad to see it's still up and running, along with a RotM. I'll try to write a new review every now and then, but it doesn't help that I haven't bought a game in a few months and have school..

I would subscribe, but honestly I just don't think I have the time to go over all these reviews every week.

NCR List One:

The reviews this week came fast and hard, Rhyme's contest sure is a success, thus far. However, I will make it clear right now

IF YOU FAIL TO COPY AND PASTE THE REVIEW, AND LEAVE IT HOSTED ELSEWHERE, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED TOWARDS THE CONTEST.

I'd just like to make that clear, it doesn't take much effort, but it shows some initiative, and that counts. Furthermore, I am making the list, and some reviews have so many faults to them, that they won't be included. Note that I've read each of them, and I am rather picky....depending on the overall quality of reviews (for the week) the list size will change.....as will my opinion over time. Now, to the reviews.

1. The Nintendo DS ~Rhyme
2. Wii Fit ~DonkeyKongDan
3. Mario Superstar Baseball ~reviewmania
4. Trace Memory ~LeonardoGolden


Four reviews made the cut for this short week (remember, the week started late) but each have flaws and strengths, it is up to you, the voters, to determine the best one.

How do you do so? Simple. PM me with your vote (title the pm accordingly, please) and the review with the most votes wins. If it stands at a tie, I will make the call.

The prize? A critique from me. A giant medal. A little medal. The right to wear a lovely sig add on. And of course, 100 rupees.

Start voting, deadline is 11:59 EST on Wednesday.
