The Dink Network

All of these arguments just go to prove my point. A random list of people is much more simpler and accurate than any of your formulas...

Tullisti thinks that the Full/Mini designation should die, because one of his reviews was accidently designated as Mini when it was supposed to be Full. And yet, he doesn't care about anyone who releases files. Simon (IMHO, rightly) believes that an Epic should be worth much more than anything else. And so on...

There is not going to be an accurate Magic Formula, ever.

And for the curious, below is the last non-random iteration of the magic formula, which is good, but I'm never going back to it ever again.

The Magic Formula used for the Overall Rankings:

(ARS = Average Review Score - 3, if none, defaults to 2.0)

D-Mod Unfinished = Average Review Score * 4

Demo = ARS*4

Weird = ARS*7

Romp = ARS*5

Quest = ARS*10

Epic = ARS*20

Dev Source = ARS*1

Tutorial = ARS*4

Utility = ARS*10

File = ARS*3

Graphics = ARS*3

Music = ARS*3

Misc Add-On = ARS*2

Cheat = ARS*2

Frontend = ARS*5

File = ARS*2

Translation = ARS*4

Full Reviews = 1

Mini Reviews = 0.25
