Quoted from Mr. Blonde


It's simple. Just vote on the ones you read. They're averaged. Not review doesn't hurt a script, it just weighs the average a tad lighter.


Yeah, that's not fair. I'm sure everyone is putting the time in on mine and the least I can do is return the favor. I had no idea I didn't have to vote on all, though. Does this mean some readers can skip the voting entirely?

It's sort of fair. Just because you aren't able to get to the reviews before the scorecards are due, doesn't mean you don't review them. You can, just as easily, go back and review the scripts you didn't get to in time when time is available. As for the scores, like I said, it's not a strike against them if you don't score them in time. Besides, I'm an optimist. If a script were not your particular cup of tea, the writer may be glad that you didn't score it, so it doesn't get weighed down.

As for voting entirely, voting is strongly encouraged. Of course, if you're not available to, that's very different from choosing not to (Henb, for example). I think people will understand and acknowledge the difference between the two. =)

If you're all done, yes, you can vote. Votes will be due when round 3's scripts are due.

I voted the day before yesterday, ha!
I'm asking if we have to take sides on ppl voting on half of the scripts? Should we vote on that?

So far I have read every script and scored every one of them. I think if only a portion of the scripts are voted on, the entire score is skewed. For me it's either an all or nothing approach, no half-arsed measures.
If you only plan on voting on half the scripts, don't vote at all.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.

None. Don let me know that everything was set. However, I couldn't access it before I left for work. A glitch on my end, I believe. They should be up, hoping, in the next five hours or so.

Error on my end.  I sent Sean the google docs link, but forgot to give him permissions to view.
