The YWSers will play!

Let's have a contest to take our mind off the lack of Chat!

Post the number of reviews you have right now -- this instant, before you post anything else. This'll be your starting value. While the Chat is down, critique as much as you possibly can! When the Chat returns, we'll tally the scores and see who did the most critiques.

Whoever has the most critiques by the end of this contest wins!

And I'm not telling any prizes because I don't want people doing spam reviews just to win the competition -- trust me, we mods *will* catch and disqualify you. Wink

And if Chat never comes back... well, we can always have periodic winners. xD Either way! Get reviewing!

EDIT: It has been announced that Chat will only return on special occasions. When it does return for these special occasions, I'll tally up the winner and everyone will get to start over.

My starting count: 474!

EDIT 2: So the Chat was up for a small while today, and now it's time for the first tally!

XD I don't do too much reviewing; it has to be good enough to hold my attention first off. Doesn't happen all too often.

Has Nate said why he's taken the Chat away? Are we being grounded?

Starting count: 560

Weird, I've posted two reviews since I posted here, and it's still saying 683.

Were they more than 250 characters long? If they're any shorter than that (spaces included), they're not counted. That might be your problem, especially in the art forum.

I don't know how much reviewing I'll be able to do with school and everything, but I can try.
