With 25 featured comments I can overtake BZ's spot on the leaderboard. Which will make me sad, I miss him. But this will allow me to begin gunning for Steve's dead gay corpse, which is what Berka would have wanted.

Points Scoring

In light of the new scoring system for reviews, it would be appreciated if you could keep track of story length on your posts. You may use this table if it helps:

I will copy this table and fill it out... just curious though... it says we accumulate points daily. If we get switched teams do we keep our points and take them with us? Or do they stay with that team?

That's a really good question :D

You definitely keep your individual points score. As for the points you earned with that team I think they will stay with that team and then you need to start earning points for your new team after you swap (otherwise everyone will be trying to steal certain members for their personal points rather than their reviewing abilities). This is my interpretation but leave this with me and I'll clarify it soon :D

As Will said, the points would stay with the team. Any card-related powerups only affects team points, e.g. doubling your points for the day doubles the team's score but not individual rankings. This also prevents teams from just stealing the top scoring member on the last few weeks of the contest to win.

I do not envy those who have to track daily point totals... all of our threads are setup to track total points without a way to track points for just the day... 

Perhaps I can add a date to the "games reviewed" section to help?

Those of you who are tracking individual games reviewed, I'm sure it would help a lot if you also noted the game lengths next to any you had featured.

In fact, everyone should do this. I mean, I'm not saying I will spitefully miscount anyone who makes it harder for me when it's time to award points....but that sure is a sentence I just typed.
