Author Topic: shyGriff/Shy the Hedgehog's Server Reviews  (Read 1470 times)

Greatest apologies if this is in the wrong section, I haven't been even lurking the forums in years.
Well, I decided to take up reviewing servers as a hobby. By that I mean I go to servers, look at various details(build quality, host attitude, etc) and write down a review. I haven't done many so far and they're somewhat short, but I hope you like them.

banana1412's server
Type: Ski Resort, Roleplay
Map: Slopes
Banana1412's server is somewhat in between good and bad.
I didn't get a greeting when I joined, which could mean that the host is either busy or unfriendly. Thus I'm not counting that as a negative.
The builds were a tad bit spammy. One was made solely of rainbow FX. Another wasn't made on a baseplate.
However, the "centerpiece" build was interesting. It looked like it had a lot of time put into it. It was a tall red tower. I couldn't however figure out where the entrance was.
There was a pair of skis and some signs off to the side. Not very tidy, it wasn't on a baseplate.
All in all, I'd give banana1412's ski resort a 6/10 stars.

PaperDemon's server
Type: Jail Escape, Roleplay
Map: Plate2
PaperDemon's server is, to put it simply, bad.
He was very aggressive at times. He'd line up the prisoner team and give them a "challenge". For example, whoever crouches first. If you didn't complete the challenge quick enough, you'd be shot.
There were some strange freekilling rules. The host could freekill all he wanted. However, if you freekilled once you'd get a perm-ban. If your freekilled multiple times, you'd get off free or maybe with just a kick. He would reset the minigame when he died, regardless of what other people were doing.
The build itself was nice. However, I looked at the writing style in the center print events and it was very different from the host's writing style. When you add that the build is much better than the host, I'm accusing him of stealing.
All in all, PaperDemon gets a big fat 0/10 from me.

DarkData's Server
Type: Mini Empires
Map: Destruct
I haven't found any flaws in DarkData's server. The build is awesome, the host is friendly…. a great server in general.
Each planet has plenty of detail to it, using rounds, ramps and emitters in creative ways. There's a good amount of planets as well-- not overloaded and not too few to lose interest quickly.  I can tell that this wasn't rushed, and was thought out well.
There aren't any ridiculous rules or painful colors. This is my shortest review so far since there's nothing bad to list.
All in all, I give this server 10/10, a perfect score.

If you dislike my writing quality or disapprove of some of my points, please don't be too harsh, and let me know exactly what it is I did wrong.

i cant believe youd say a server is bad just cuz the host didnt say hi

You're an idiot for rating this 0/10 because the host "freekills and make us do challenges"
You obviously have NO idea how to play this server, dont rate it then.

Ha. The challenges are fun, and that's not even freekilling. However, the host being able to freekill is unfair. If anything I'd give it a 5/10 or so.

i didn't say that.
Note that I said "thus I'm not counting this as a negative".

Also, mainly the reason I rated PaperDemon's server so low was because it was getting extremely bad reputation on the IRC.

You rating something down because other people told you to, rather than getting your own opinion of it?

I haven't found any flaws
Sounds to me like he's looking for flaws in the servers, not just talking about what it's like.

The negative blabbering on IRC must've persuaded him to see the server himself.

Apparently it was just as bad as it was said it was.

But you still mention it as if it matters?

So, I'm considering just giving up on this.
Any advice? Should I try again and put a lot more thought into it?

I think its a good idea, just that you need more time to get used to the current BL game and forum state before making some reliable reviews. Take a month or two to lurk around and find out the general status of servers, and then try again.

After the topic is inactive for >1 week, you come up and say you're giving up on this?
