General Discussion for Ranking Game

[BillFiler]

I just got the reminder I set for this one

Enjoy your birthday viewing of “Delta and the Bannermen”

[MrColdStream]

Thanks! I have it lined up and ready to watch!

@deltaandthebannermen

@MrColdStream seems to be deliberately using his mod powers to ignore the 20 hour limit… How manyu times is that in the last hour or so?

Oh sorry, I thought this game was only for me? Should the mods delete every post and start the game over or what?

[TARDIS32]

We didn’t actually make a limit on how many times you can up the same one right?

[dema1020]

No, I decided not to add it for a few reasons.

While people can personally take that rule on themselves (I am for my voting), I was worried it would complicate things making it a firm rule, and didn’t really get the impression of a consensus on the matter. Also, I feel like @SweetAIBelle was right to bring up concerns it could unnecessarily burden the mods with edit requests. I didn’t want to box in people’s voting style too much, either.

[SweetAIBelle]

I kinda learned that one the hard way. I had a group fall apart because of too much work being on the mods shoulders before, so I’m pretty careful about that with rules, trying to think about what enforcing them is going to be like…

[TARDIS32]

Cool. Then here I go.

[SweetAIBelle]

I think:

Ranking Game: Nautical Nonsense

Under the Lake/Before the Flood Horror of Fang Rock The Curse of Fenric The Time Meddler Terror of the Zygons The Waters of Mars Fury From the Deep The Sea Devils Planet of Fire The Keys of Marinus Dark Water Cold War The Underwater Menace The Vampires of Venice The Smugglers The Time Monster Warriors of the Deep Legend of the Sea Devils The Curse of the Black Spot Post fixed by SweetAIBelle

Is going to need some fixing…

@DontBlink

[DontBlink]

Oh my gosh what I have done

[SweetAIBelle]

Quoted the first post as well as including a version of the last post with more than one item moved, I think?

[DontBlink]

I know, I tried fixing it, but:

I’ve messed everything up

[SweetAIBelle]

Which story were you trying to move, and where?

[DontBlink]

I was trying to upvote Before the Lake/Under the Flood

[DontBlink]

@DontBlink

Before the Lake/Under the Flood

Why do I keep making these mistakes

[SweetAIBelle]

Just edited it. Does that look right?

[DontBlink]

Thank you so much, that’s perfect

[SweetAIBelle]

No problem! I can fix mistakes easily enough, I just need to be sure I’m not accidentally upvoting the wrong thing or anything…

[BSCTDrayden]

If I can get The Time Meddler into top 5 by game end I’ll be extremely happy

[TARDIS32]

I’m now into the, “hmm, what would I fix here” stage. Time to consult the rankings, the main thing my spreadsheet has that TG does not, my top to bottom ranking of episodes.

[TARDIS32]

I think there are a couple omissions in this list. Thin Ice and Praxeus I think I’d include. And I’m honestly not sure why The Time Monster is here. Sure, it has Atlantis, but the story spends no time at sea, sailing, or involving a body of water. Dark Water and The Waters of Mars I think are a bit of a stretch too, but I’ll allow it, since there’s water as a critical component of both stories.
