The system is sooooooooooooooooo broken...

    The system is sooooooooooooooooo broken...

    I'm not really doing this for myself - its more for everyone else in the community becuase I think Microsoft is just not thinking of the developers.

    George and I have just put our game up for peer review. Its been over 15 minutes now and the game is still at 0%.

    Since both of us have been in these forums for a year we know something must be wrong. From what I can make out the process is supposed to be that you get 2 very fast reviews from other people who want you to review their game. Typically they post 'Great game, A++++ - would review again' and then the percentage goes up to 50%. Then I go and review those games making sure to put links to my game in the forums. Then that Jim guy gets pissy and deletes them.

    Should I put an issue in connect? I would think Microsoft could automate the fast reviews and the the forum pimping with a few lines of HTML Script.

    While I'm at it, and this is not asking for legal advice, can anyone recommend a lawyer so I can sue George and get his share of the Kissy Poo billions?

    First (first as in: I saw it there first first) Mr. Clingerman notes this on Twitter and then this elaborate. When will you guys stop?

    The not so known part of the rest: It is Björn or Bjoern, but never Bjorn.

    I didn't really catch the sarcasm until now. I'm still not sure.

    I'm british, assume everything is sarcasm... plus you've not been round here long enough to understand all the humour in my post... the old timers will hopefully appreciate it ;-)

    Good shot Z - and I'm glad that my internal monologue is correct for calling you ZED Man rather than ZEE man.

    I was going to go and test it but if you're going to start bitching... ;0)

    I dont think you guys get it. George and I quit our jobs today... well George did, I quit watching old episodes of the Twilight Zone. George has 4 kids to support and I have 2 cats. We've put well over 360,000 man seconds into this project and we don't appreciate the kind of attitude I can create with selective quoting. If we have to start feeding the cats to Georges kids (or the other way round we've not decided yet) then it will be all your fault. I blame the Evil MVPs - most everything is their fault - tossers!

    Hehe, that explains it, we Danes tend to use sarcasm as well.

    And you're right, seems like I haven't been around long enough to really appreciate it.

    But in any case good luck with your game (:

    Cmon, it's the only fun I get to have during the day! :(

    Well, that and pimping my rep by replying to threads about crappy games like this that shouldn't be on the service in the first place. Go make a real game for XBLIG, maybe an MMO like the rest of the n00b5!

    Fail! Inappropriate for Xbox Live. Vomit inducing for too much cuteness. The only redeeming quality is the unicorn, now there's a great game character!

    I think this is just another shameful way to get people to review your game!
    As MVP's you should know better! Come on be professional, delete this thread and move on.

    I think they don't need this to get their game reviewed. They're just kidding, and I also think the entire community needs this. Life less serious! We're making games (trying at least) not doing a mission to Mars...

    Well, some of us are making games, not sex simulators like KissyPoo (It's obviously a sex simulator because it has kiss in the name and we all know kissing leads to sex. Where's Jack Thompson when you need him! :D)

    Not only is it sex simulator, but it also involves POO!  That's just beyond disgusting.

    Well, it would really be Three MVPs, One Cup since George helped make the game as well.
