New Jersey consists entirely of the bad Philadelphia suburbs and the bad New York City suburbs.
Yeah, the US needs a cricket team.
Of course you'd say that.
Yeah, page 73 is always bad. Never read it.
Also, Twenty20: Yea or Nay?

Funnily enough cricket was more popular than baseball in the United States up until about the Civil War.
20/20 aint too bad, but I am purist and love the Tests. Especially the Ashes and I must admit as of late the Indian tests as well.... other teams have a bit of catching up to do, although the South Africans should be intetresting this summer.
I used to go to school with the son of Michael Holding, the West Indian quickie. I met him a few times along with numeous Australian players.

Oh even if Australia loses this time around I will still enjoy watching them. A lot of my family are in the Chester, Wales, Isle of Mann, Scotland, Ireland, Belfast areas...... and I also have a lot of family throughout Germany and Europe in general.

I've never been a real fan of cricket treasonous though that may be, but I've never liked sports in general. I find them dull and mindless. Though American football during the Superbowl can be entertaining mostly because of the beer.

Silver has very few things that interest him. Among them sex, beer, and weed. Hahaha.

You communists don't understand American art. We took Bames Jond and perfected it. You're all just communists who can't appreciate culture, or capitalism.
By the way, I know you're communists because that's what they teach us in our state of the art Learning Centers. As I recall, "God bless America, bastion of freedom in a sea of communism."
Haha, no, seriously, the movie sucked.

The old 'generation' system is outdated, and should be simplified. Discuss.

It was also completely arbitrary and should be done using notable NES's as benchmarks rather than years.

I agree. I'm pretty sure that pre-ITNES should be the first generation. Period. There are only 10-20 NESers from that period still active anyway.
That's a fair portion of NESkind you know...

Well, of course you'd say that.

As it should be. Having 2-3 players per "generation" is just ridiculous.

If you had read my posts, you'd see that I don't at all advocate ratings mods as "good" or "poor."I suppose that if we were ratings NESes, stats like time between updates and total number of updates would have to come into it too, since plenty of players would rather join ones that update quickly. All the stuff that would impact a player's decision to join a NES would ideally be included.
Yes, but a rating systems implies a desire to categorize things. I would assume the ultimate goal of rating NES qualities is to allow people to judge if a particular mod or story is good or bad. I dont think it will things because people who arebad mods or have less desirable qualities are not going to change because of their ratings. It will most likely start a flame fest of whining and insults.
For me personally a consistency stat is more useful. I want to know how many games a particular mod has abandoned. Average length of games, frequency of updates, and links to previous games they have run. I am much more interested in mods who commit to games they can run. Versus the mods who start great ideas and then quickly abandon because of the work involved or because the game did not unfold as they had hoped.
I can find the answers to my benchmarks through the thread tools. Therefore, I would not find a rating system terribly useful. I am not completely against a rating system. Its more the I fail to understand how it will improve or change the overall NES forum environment.
