the all new TWIN GALAXIES...

[The TJT]

They should just make it available as a locked foum for anyone that wants to read through it in their own time.

That's not how they operate, they don't care about gamers or providing info no more. Wonder who are running the site these days, and who owns it...if Billy is still involved, what Walter thinks about it... what Robert M thinks about it etc...

That was six years ago under different ownership.

Currently submissions are verified in an open process by the community. No "judges" verifying performances in secret.

i fully understood a decade ago.
millions of ignorant complainers can't make fair rule and discussion.

The community, by definition, has more knowledge than any individual within it.

For any given game, there are a number of people out there somewhere who are experts on it. If there is anything wrong with a submission, there is a good chance someone will spot it. The open process means that any shenanigans will remain exposed for someone to figure out eventually. With the old referee system, if you got past the original "judge" who verified it in secret, you were probably safe.

Someone who has followed Twin Galaxies more closely than I have the last few years could probably point to some bad decisions.

I was skeptical of community verification when it was originally proposed, but it has worked better than I expected.

As i say years ago about Moon Patrol score on TG. TG will die with all secrets. Congratulations, game over, and good bye

Yes, I agree the open TG process works very well at the moment.

The money idea of the previous management was way out of line.

Note: Most gamers out there get paid in non dollars in their own country currency.
So in most cases it is dollars TIMES an exchange rate of 10 to 20 times
what you do see up the past proposals.

Fortunately the current TG management realize this kind of business
model would have and will never work.
