August Review Day Review

Now it's time for the Review Day Statistical Spectacular! 'Cause everyone loves to chew on some clean stats.

When the Green Lanterns took on the Black Plague, did anyone expect to be left alive? Perhaps it was the farvergnügens that were the Green Team's saving grace? Power of the farvergnügen?

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this highly successful review day!

Go everyone! 728/750... we were so close!!! But next time we will reach our goal.

But, it said the goal was 700!

Whoo! I got the most characters typed!!!

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's not something I should be too proud about. My reviews tend to get... obsessive. Let's just call them obsessive. (Yeah, 76,000 in ten reviews? Definitely over the top. O_o )

Yeah, but the green room only had 60 reviews in it this time, it was cleared out instantly. After that, I kind of get the impression that a lot of us became slightly... lost. (Or rather, distracted. )

I did the 700th review

@DrStrangelove the counting gets changed because sometimes people forget to mark their comments as review so mods fix it.

Great job everyone!

For those of you who want a bit more than raw stats, be sure to check out the Squills Live Feed Coverage of this event.

Then, in a sudden moment, all my happiness was smashed
Good job everyone

No way, @DrStrangelove! No reason for your happiness to get smashed. You totally did the 700th review and everyone saw it!~ Like niteowl says, the count just gets shuffled around a little bit when people forget to mark their reviews, etc. You were fantastic!

I did the "700th" review
But, Green Lantern still won
So, that's an upside
HI-5 EVERYONE

But, still
My timing and effort to type a review as quick as possible ended up being a "700th review though in the end it really comes up to nothing yet having a presence in peoples minds" review
Not the actual 700
Yet, I have created an alternate personality to help me write reviews
Till next review day Ash Williams
I'll miss you

I just did two reviews thanks to my jet lag.

-.- I woke up at 1:00 pm. Before that, I didn't even see Review Day start because I was somewhere else.

Then when there were like 2 hours left, I had to leave AGAIN.

;-; Tears are filled with more tears, but at least I helped.

I was really, really shocked at how quickly the Green Room was conquered. We didn't manage to do it during July's Review Day, and it took until the last hour in both June and May (although, there were a lot more works those two times due to the free work days).

Looking at how things developed, I'm wondering whether it'd be better to always have a free work day just before the review day because there just wasn't much left to review after noon EDT (at least, not without repeating previously written reviews). Pros and cons to doing that though.

Anyhoot, this was a GREAT review day. Everyone who participated should be really, really proud of what they accomplished.

@KittyCatMeow ->> Don't trivialize those two reviews! If we could somehow get everyone who logs into YWS during Review Day to do just two reviews, we'd hit over 1,000 reviews easy.

I do agree Nate, by the end of it I felt like I was reviewing quite old stuff. And even stuff that had been targeted last review day.
