    Windows was there before the great deletion.

    Are you implying that it was not later reviewed and then accepted?

    I'm tired of people making poor arguments that don't hold up in this thread. If you have legitimate criticism, that's fine. But all of this feels like people who are just mad about there being a new system, something that quite frankly should have happened long ago.

    As MeowMix indicated, we've accepted themes from up-and-comers and rejected themes from people like Deria. If I find a QC being biased...it won't end well for them, I promise you that.

    Guys, I still kinda agree with the sentiments in this thread, but I don't really think there is a point in continuing to bump this.

    Windows was never played back then + Li.Q.Assir made a new and better version of it.

    Listen here.
    A lot of the new scripters in mafia make reskins?

    Is Garden a reskin?
    Not exactly, because this theme emphasizes on the first 3 nights, conspirator in control.

    Is Space Invaders a reskin?
    Not really, because this theme is simple, but yet conveys the same meaning as a normal mafia game, but with 3 roles.

    Think before you post, and don't make everyone rebut your points. As steely said, post intelligent points.

    Windows also made it through the private review process so naturally it stood a good chance of getting accepted again. Besides he later made it even better so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it was approved again.

    Heck I even rejected a theme from Crystal Moogle of all people because it didn't have enough role.

    So then, what this whole dicussion has been based on is possible bias within the QC staff and deals with themes that seem to breeze by the review process with other themes left in their wake. Now, keeping in mind that this is an intelligent discussion to a problem that people seem to have with the Mafia Review system, I do think that MA's and Mods should have a say in which themes pass the QC, but be independant from the QC altogether. I suggest, in order to appease people, that perhaps the QC staff be selected at random for each and every theme under review, not including MA's and Mods which would still have a say in the final results of the QC itself, also not including the Theme Creator(s) to escape any personal bias that might exist towards the theme INCLUDING MA's or Mods that had a hand in the theme. Also meaning they wouldn't oversee the final result of the Accept or Deny.

    Mind you, this is just Rehx talking and he is a completely insane idealist that simply thinks of possible solutions. So yeah, good luck with that. :D

    Due to this topic slowly turning into "let's have TUO and Sandusky, amongst others, insult the review process baselessly", I'm locking this topic.

    A shame that a few have to ruin a potentially useful topic.
