Jamaica 06 ch18 About Charts
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
about charts iopop ---------------------------------------- hi! and you loaded this chapther too. here i will write down some things that i have thought about the latest weeks. (months) and as you see it will be about charts. charts! why the hell do we have charts. i think that the dude that made that first charts on the c64 must have been clever. we don't get any payment for our work on this computer than the charts can be the PAYMENT. i bet that you also get the special feeling of happyness when you read your handle, group name, mag or whatever it's in the CHARTS of a mag. over to the things that i been wondering about. it's mainly about swappercharts. -------- imagine that you are in TWO groups (which some dudes don't need to do,as it's alot of people which are.) and you vote on one of them. is this fair?? short answer: NO!! first of all i must say that i can't understand why be in TWO or more groups. if you are in a gfx or musicgroup then i understand it but not in real groups. well, back to the subject. i saw some people that have done this on the vote- sheet and i did one thing. i just skipped that line when i counted it. so please DON'T vote for your second group! -------- another thing that i noticed is that some people vote for OLD guys like rcs, baze, aslive and a lot of other people that i don't think that they are swapping with. it's namely new sceners that are doing this. so if you don't have much contacts then you don't need to fill up the vote sheet with old dudes just to have voted 10 guys. -------- a thing that have come more and more in the mags is to remove UNACTIVE group and sceners. and this is wrong! think if the mag will be start to be released again. or the demo group will make a new demo. the swapper starts to send out again. for example we in jam haven't releaesed a demo since CHRISTMAS why not scratch us from the charts? my advice to the mags that are removing other groups etc. write some facts about the group that you don't like to be in the charts and tell the readers when that special group make the latest release. and so on. -------- why include your own groups positions in the charts?? this thing is also a thing i just can't understand. do you really know that everybody understand that they can vote for you in your mag. this will effect that your position in your mag will be on a lower place than in ussuall mags. and the charts will be uncorrect!!! well, jamaica had a good place in this mag if i not removed it's position! -------- is charts the most of our lifes do you die if your mag is at place 10 or lower in the mags your group at place 40 as demogroup and you at place 99 as swapper you will not die test it!! nuff said!!! ...iopop/jam
