I assume the points that get added to the team's total will not be added to OUR total? Also, I know the "free" day is a day before review day, but I'm confused at the time zones and stuff, so what time will the clock on the home page show when it's the "free" day?

Hey fortis,

The points will also be added to your own total as well.

Aye, with all the timezones, it gets a bit confusing! When the countdown clock is in the final 24 hours, that's when the free day will be. I'll also be sending out a PM to everyone on the site when the free day begins.

Both Review Teams have now picked out Captains with 30 hours to go until Review Day starts.

The air is tense. Are you ready?

I'm not sure that I'm going to be here for very long tomorrow, but I'll drop in to do a few reviews. I haven't been around much recently and I'm using this to stage my comeback *ahem* ignore that.

As I begin writing this post, we're a little more than 2 hours into the May 2013 Review Day, and it's so far shaping up to be our busiest Review Day. Since it started, there's been a fairly constant pace of 1 review per minute; never faster, never slower. Right now, there are 124 reviews.

Additionally, the two teams seem to be pretty evenly matched. Hot Sauce quickly racked up points in the beginning, but Tsunami Tyrants caught up and surpassed them. Then Hot Sauce began moving forward again around the 2,000 points mark and eventually built up a 1500 points lead.

Yet, Tsunami Tyrants are now whittling down that lead, and they are now only 500 points behind. Given that there's more Tsunami members online, I'd be surprised if they didn't take the lead very soon.

On top of this, the Green Room is rapidly diminishing. The Free Literary Work day ended up having close to 80 works submitted, leading to over 110 works total in the Green Room. That total is now down to 78, and I have no doubt it'll be 0 before the end.

tldr So, this is just a long-winded way of saying, keep up the good work!


Update

Sure enough, right after I submitted my post, the Tsunami Tyrants managed to whittle down the Hot Sauce lead to just 1 point!


Second Update at the 3 hr 15 min mark

I love this. Tsunami Tyrants went from 1500 points behind to a 900 point lead. Then Hot Sauce managed to come back, tie the game, and are now 300 points in the lead. It's nice to have a Review Day where the teams truly are competitive.

It's also nice to see that many of the reviews are quite good. Always remember, it takes less time to write 1 good review that earns 100 points than to write 3 bad reviews that each earn only 30 points.

You all reached the halfway point for this Review Day at just 7 hours into it. That's incredible. I look forward to how badly the goal of 650 is beaten.

I'm tempted to join in if only because of Luna and Rainbow Dash.

"Badges? We don't have no stinkin' badges..."

I heard there were going to be "Achievement Badges" or something for participating...

So I'm staying tuned...
No more countin' dollars... we'll be countin' stars.

Enter, if you dare.
