Ogrepalooza Discussion

You should claim each of them on the day they apply, which will then be checked with all the other items you post on that day.

Joining Ogre Wars is once per event, as is the steam user group and the Make Your Forum Avatar into a Wrestler item. Winning a contest, participating in the review spotlight, and winning a review contest are once per contest, ie if we have seven review spotlights in an event you can claim it once for each spotlight you participate in, and if we have one review spotlight you can only claim it once.

As Mayonnaise pointed out, a lot of these and similar questions were addressed last event, so feel free to peruse that discussion thread too: Ogre World Championship Event Discussion Thread

The current usage is correct, (once) just means that if you claim three 5-post items you still only get to claim that bonus once. There should be a dichotomy in notes for post items where "one-use" implies one time per event and "once" implies one time per day. We can expand "once" to "once per day" if it would help.

 

The Ogre Games ("Reviewing any Ogre Game once" item) oddly enough all have names of the form "Ogre ___", like Ogre Combat, Ogre Bounce, Ogre Wars, Ogre Wars Flash, etc. This explicitly excludes literally everything else, like Bioshock, Insurgency, arcade games, and anything else that isn't an Ogre Game.

 

I don't see it as often as some of the other things I point out, but it's time again to talk about a particular tag that goes with some items.

It's called "(not counted above)", and it implies, just like it says, that if you're claiming something under that item you can't claim it in any other way.

 

XF = XenForo = the forum software we're using (scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see "Forum software by XenForo™ ©2010-2015 XenForo Ltd.")
So yeah, just the forum arcade. Topple the current high score for a game and you can claim it.

 

A lot of people copy old posts in the event thread, post them, and then edit in new stuff. I find that pretty confusing (the forum autosaves drafts if you need it for formatting) but more than that you need to make sure you actually remove the things you didn't do that day while you're tweaking it. Everything you post on the forum and blog leaves a timestamp, and if you're (re)claiming stuff that is a week old it's painfully obvious. Just practice good janitorial habits and you'll be fine!
