24h rules for First Releases & board list extension
Moved this topic to the forum because it does not only belong to a special release.
In this topic the 3 lists are different:
The rules for Jazzcats list (
Vandalism News
) is not very precise on that topic.
"The group uploading to the majority of official sites within 24 hours of the initial first release or NTSC/PAL import will receive the points."
The rule in
Game Corner
(even not released for a while) is very precise here:
"If more than one group uploads a first release or PAL/NTSC import of the same game within 24 hours, the group which has its release available for download as first on the majority of official sites will get the points."
That's why we have an uneven amount of release boards.
The
Propaganda List
(lately published in Attitude #18) is precise as well, but different:
"You need to be first on all three boards to win the race. In other words: Make sure you spread your warez."
As an example the current release of "Hyperzap". The Facts:
* Uploaded first on
Reflections
by Laxity. Half hour later for Fairlight (by hedning/GP on behalf).
* Uploaded first ot
Antidote
by Laxity. Half hour later for Fairlight (by hedning/GP on behalf).
*
The Hidden
was unreachable. 15 hours later The Hidden was back. Uploaded first for Fairlight (by hedning/GP on behalf). 2 hours later by Laxity. Both within 24 hours to first upload by Laxity on Reflections.
Winner by list (by my understanding):
Vandalism News: Laxity. After Fairlight upload on The Hidden: Fairlight.
Game Corner: Laxity. First on 2 of 3 boards = majority. Point.
Proapaganda List: Laxity. After Fairlight upload on The Hidden: Fairlight.
This is a special situation. It is not uncommon that one or more boards is unreachable. But it is uncommon that it is back within the 24 timeframe and someone takes the chance to win the race ca. 20 hours after the first upload.
Best interpretation in terms of "winning a race" is in my opinion the rule of Game Corner (not just because it is mine).
And I would like to extend the list of counted boards by
RapidFire
which proved to be very reliable. To get an un uneven amount we would need a 5th one. My eye is on
Raveolution
or
Frozen Floppy
but none of them has proved the needed stability and availability yet. Until they do, I would opt for
RapidFire
as a fallback to count if situation is not clear due to unreachability of others.
This is my point to be discussed. Let's start...

I always make room for active sceners if userlog is full. As said, just drop me a PM. It's that easy, really. Problem solved.
