A request of everyone… very little time required

My request is simple: Go to the add-ons page (www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evo/addons.html) and vote honestly on any plugs, reference files, utilities, and so forth that you've used. Many files have a rating based on only three or four votes at the moment, which means that their ratings can be misleading, which is unfair both to their creators and their users. Let your voice be heard!!

PS: A possible add-ons page feature request: adding a "Number of Votes" heading next to the "Rating"?

Teehee
My plug has 50 downloads and a rating of 70!
I'm damn happy cause it's my first plug! (Oh yeah, it's also the newest one up there!)
I really thought it's gonna be rated as 10 or sth...

Arrrrrrr, matey!!!!

Presumably so we can finaly tell which plugs are considerred good without posting a whole new topic.

It isn't a bad idea... I've been doing it for a while whenever I visit the page and see a plug I've played, but that isn't often nowadays. There are many examples of plugs coming out from amateurs with misspellings in the description, etc., that seem to indicate the inferior quality of the plug... Few people download them, and even fewer like them, but the plugs are rated 100 because only the author bothered to rate it -- sometimes multiple times from different IPs. It must be fixed, for quality control, and to let the real good plugs stay in the top 10 rated. 🙂

Hooray! My plug Journey MF is ranked #10! I had no idea it was so popular 😉

Anyway, seriously that's not a bad idea you've got there. A lot of the new plugs get high ratings simply because nobody bothers to vote on them. As for your request, I've gone through the plugs and voted on those I've used.

A hatch opened up and the aliens said,
"We're sorry to learn that you soon will be dead,
But though you may find this slightly macabre,
We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job."

I would give a rating to a couple things, but there seems to be something wrong with the scripts.

Why not just measure greatness by the number of downloads? 😉

Don't go downloading your own plugins, bomb. 😉

Hehe I vote sometimes...
I'm pretty happy with my 70 hehehehe

Arrrrrrr, matey!!!!

I always rate the plugs acuratly whenever I play them.

One of my plugs (EVO Govt Fixer) was on the highest rated list for awhile, but FH the Novel pushed it off. :frown:

Why was that considered a plug-in anyway?

Wait a second...

As a French man would say: Je ne sais pas...
I dunno.. It's still a good novel 😄

WHAT? My plug's rating went down! It's 68 now!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad:

------------------
Arrrrrrr, matey!!!!

but what if none of us like to use plug-ins? i dont use any (mainly 'cos they won't work) it is a good idea though.you should post them on other web boards too.

------------------

I tried to vote for some, but it made no difference to the vote, even after
refreshing the screen.

AND I voted about eight times....

Oops! I'm not supposed to say that. 🙂
