I don't understand why people do these chains. Yes, it may seem "fun" to create long message threads, but it takes up so much space on the screen and means many notifications for the owner.

Was joking lol. Who don’t like BGG blogs lol. And... still don’t understanding. If the judges are rating the blogs, wouldn’t their favorite one, the one that would receive first place? Lol
Ethaboo444

Level 59
Jan 19, 2022
if me and chen had two different favorite blogs, then it wouldn't make much sense to use that method. besides, we actually sometimes have different opinions on our favorite blogs, and use a randomized wheel to choose the winner, since it isn't really worth it to just argue about it, and most likely delay the BG even further.

Ethaboo444

Level 59
Jan 19, 2022
a re-upload once or twice is fine if you basically change a lot of things in it, but if you are just re-uploading just for the sake of winning, or being greedy for fame, then it will not be graded. I'm obviously not saying that you are any of these things, just if someone did do this lol. I doubt anyone will though.

Ethaboo and I had some "minor" disagreements about rankings so some blogs didn't get the score that he or I would like them to have. Personally, I would have ranked BGG's and TNT's blogs higher than they are.

ig for right now, but if only one person makes a humor intended blog, it wouldn't count since that clearly isn't fair, like if there is only one competitor swimming and they get the gold medal.

Thread did actually. By unexpected, I meant that I was expecting BGG, Thread and MG to be ranked in the top 3. And what kind of strictness exactly? No comma and 1 point deduction, like that?
Ethaboo444

Level 59
Jan 19, 2022
No, people were complaining that I and Chen were ranking too high because of bread's rankings, which is partly right, so I decided for this week to be a bit more strict. Sorry if you all think you did bad this week, you all did good just that this week was a bit more strict than the others

To be honest, I'm totally fine with it lol. I have no problem with being ranked in the top 5, top 3, the honourable mentions, or just not in the Blog Games wholly for a week. I'm just happy that the BG came out lol. But I would like if it I win the season for the Quadruple Alliance
