: Did you happen to notice whether they were reviewed by the same person? A lot of times new reviewers will over-score things because they haven't played much of the competition... I will read both later and give you my comments (you will be hanging around here to see response right?)

The levels were in fact reviewd by two different people. I reviewed only Arca Tera, and I noticed exactly what you are talking about when I was updating the scores. Personally, I am pretty critical of levels (which may be a reason why my level has been under construction for 8 months...has it been THAT long???). Obviously, different people with different levels of editing experience see the same mission in different ways. I thought Arca Tera was one of the better levels released, but it's hard to maintain a fair rating system with multiple reviewers. If anyone has suggestions on how to remedy this, I'd be glad to hear them. But I also think a number score (like 75%) doesn't tell a lot. You need to read the comments and get a feel for the level by what the reviewer says. If anyone ever has a comment on reviews, speak up. I'd like feedback on whether you think the reviews are good or what areas need work.
