I didn't say I wasn't one of those people. I just don't bother reviewing much these days.

I wish people wouldn't stoop so low as to make alternate accounts and make their friends vote high just to get their crappy movies seen and heard. Even though there are probably more of us (being regular NG users) than there are of them, I still wanna know how most of the SS movies pass judgement...

I gave it a good review. Because it appealed to me. Not an 'OMG! 10/10!' review, but a fair one, nonetheless.

Shame we didn't "mass vote" or cheat this time, and the SS isn't that big, it numbers about 25-30 active members.

The answer is simply: Because people expect them to pass.

And there are around 44 reviews, if all members did review (which is more likely than voting to get something past judgement, because there is alot more time to do it) then they could have a big enough impact to win said award.

Still, the daily2oon is ok, but I don't think it deserved an award, it was mostly, barely passing judgement material if you ask me.

They are simply trying to acheive this.

Win Underdog, win Review crew, in the same week. Considering this, THIS WEEK for the first time I've ever seen there was an underdog that was ALSO turd. Quite amazing if you ask me, but it makes sense as to how it did it.

If there have been any other submissions like that PLEASE point them out to me :P.

Anyways, so it got a huge review score, more than necessary to beat out Rush 2++ and such, but this is what went wrong.

They got a huge review total score, good good, with a what 3.00 type score. and a 9.60 or so review score. Point value is then 6/9.6 or a 3.6 in all, now in past times 3.6 has been more than enough to win both, but not this time, and that's for one reason. Underdog/Turd this morning had about 1.12, BUT had a 6.50 or so review score, thus 2.2/6.5 or an amazingly high 4.3 difference. Thus this time around the SS was foiled since in most cases they WOULD'VE GOTTEN IT, but alas there was some hidden force out there that made sure that other movie won the underdog.

So yeah, i think they were trying to get Underdog and Review Crew at the same time. I've heard speculation on them trying to do that, fairly or not, it's something that I've never seen, and would be AMAZED to see one of these days heh, but i GUESS if it was to be done by unfair means, it wouldn't be as cool.

I'd still like to see another person pull off getting those two. If there is another though ... then ... :P

At first i was pissed off because the Review Crew Pick was by SS, but then i took a look at it, and it wasn't that bad, but if anything, Build Me Up Buttercup should've gotten it...

Duly noted that you did not review it.

Honestly people...that's what reviews are for. To give feedback. It can't be helped that some people enjoy these flashes, and if you can't deal with the fact that around 40 (out of HOW many users?) people left a good review, maybe you should start leaving constructive criticism. You can leave reviews with a score of 1-5 as long as your review isn't 'You guys suck, I hate you, Blam this piece of crap!!1!' or 'Stop submitting this shit' or whatever.

Apparently, their flash is some what crappy but never the less people vote 4-5.Some people hate them and some people think we need them.The Star Syndicate is just helping the people who make bad flash feel better with the collections from each of them.It's great that they are doing that but the good flash creators think that is a serious load of crap so they vote 0-2.

So some Newgrounders take the Star Syndicates side.But on the other hand some dont.Plus, some dont even give a damn and dont vote on it.The Star Syndicate is helping people feel better about their flash being blammed by protecting the SS's flash.Newgrounds probobly needs some crap/good like this.Yeah sure they won the crew pick but at least is gives the Star Syndicat a chance to shine.

It doesn't matter, they've won all the awards they can while I wasn't paying attention. I doubt they care what people say about their movies, they just wanted to rig the system.

Actually, when I first started the Dailytoons series, it was my intent to annoy reviewers. I was always fascinated with people who go mental because somebody made a movie of poor quality. My good friend (doctorstrangelove, who was once madhatt3r or hatterclock) used to get very abusive reviews. One day when I was at his house, he explained that he loves replying to them, because he gets the last word. This was the idea behind Dailytoons.

Also, some excellent artists were actually fans of our series. Others actually contributed. Keep in mind, our series is open to anyone.

So some Newgrounders take the Star Syndicates side.But on the other hand some dont.Plus, some dont even give a damn and dont vote on it.The Star Syndicate is helping people feel better about their flash being blammed by protecting the SS's flash.Newgrounds probobly needs some crap/good like this.Yeah sure they won the crew pick but at least is gives the Star Syndicat a chance to shine.

A lot of blammed artists actually get frustrated when they see our movies pass. However, when Dailytoons progressed, a lot of blammed artists caught on and began sending their movies to us. When Daily2oons came around, everybody considered the joke old. j00bie and I really started Daily2oons for people who couldn't get their movies into the portal otherwise. We have seen some really hilarious artists (WeekendUpdateAnchor in particular), and we have also seen great artists who took the unfortunate route of frame by frame line animations (generally unpopular unless you are able to catch the attention of the audience). Many people have evolved through Daily2oons (like Aerdail, who I really haven't seen in quite a while).

As for giving us a chance to shine, we have had many opportunities to shine. Many of them were unfairly achieved (only one I really contributed to was SS Time Trial 5, but I was intentionally trying to get myself deleted at the time, although my reasons don't really hold true now), but this one was a chance occurance. Quite ironic, because the first review crew that caused a lot of fuss got me deleted :P

No we weren't. We saw that it was going to win review crew, so we left it alone. I'm quite sure that there is a block that makes it impossible to win both review crew and underdog.

Wade should know, there's no way in hell that sort of trash can get Review Crew. A paralyzed kid can make something better. I remember when NG awards were earned, not stolen. SS makes me sick.

Considering that most consider Stephen Hawking to be the most brilliant scientist alive today, and he is paralyzed, you should cut the disabled some more slack.

I agree. I mean, how else could you have earned your Review Crew on Warefare 9 without having the SS "earn" it for you?

Also, I see that the SS is exposing your WF9 as a cheated award. So it's probably wise to not yammer about it.

Why would there be a block for that, i mean if it qualifies for both, why wouldn't it be able to win it?

Also I never said you cheated, considering you in all actuality, won it fairly, you guys take things the wrong way too much >_>
