I just want you to remember, TM, when you're reading my long, boring, verbose rationalizations of my ratings... ... you asked for it. :P Is there a rubric for these? I vaguely remember something about a rubric in BoE, but I don't know if it applies anymore. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Simple additive/subtractive rubrics tend to be silly when applied to scenarios which have serious flaws; you can't very well give a bad scenario 50 out of 100 just for not having any bugs, but an otherwise decent scenario so buggy as to be virtually unplayable might well justify deducting that many points. The only reasonable way to do a rubric would be to start with a perfect score and subtract a percentage of the current score for every flaw in the scenario. Even then, people will disagree as to how different parts should be weighted -- and that's as it should be.

Generally, I start at 5 and add points for good stuff and take points away for bad stuff. Number of points added/taken varies a lot.

quote:Let's not start THAT debate again! Whether you believe in them or not, they can be useful just as a checklist of things to look for. They will give you an objective score for the things that can be looked at objectively. What they cannot do is score your subjective feelings. That you have to do on your own. So, is it possible to have a scenario that the rubric gives a high score to, yet still be a "lousy" scenario? Sure! If you find the subject matter offensive, or you have one thing the rubric has a poor score for that you deem is more important than anything else but all other things give it a total high score, well, there you have it.
