Quest Grading System (Post Quests Here)

(1/4) > >>

Mr Pokemon:
     I used the search bar, and found nothing like this, and decided to make it. Basically, I've made a rubric to grade quests on, and give feedback on what you should improve. This is mainly so that people don't make garbage quests, and so that they won't get responses like "It sucks" or "TERRIBLE!!" These don't tell you anything at all! You must know what you need to improve on before you go off writing new ones. I designed this rubric based on previous rubrics I have seen, but feel free to tell me if I need to change or add anything to it.

Be sure to read spirit's guide to writing quests before posting any here. Anyone can grade them, just be serious about it, and give them feedback in a non-insulting way. (Remember, you want people to write more quests)

Anyways, here is the rubric (3s are in between a 4 and a 2, a 1 is in between a 2 and 0):

Understandable:
4-The quest is easily understood and makes sense
2-The quest is mostly understood and makes sense for the most part
0-The quest cannot be understood and does not make sense

Edited: Storyline
4-The quest maintains a steady, easy to follow storyline
2-The quest mainly maintains a steady storyline, but is somewhat jumpy and hard to follow
0-The quest does not maintain a steady storyline and is very jumpy and can't be followed

Ideas:
4-The ideas in the quest are original and interesting
2-The ideas in the quest are mostly original and somewhat interesting
0-The ideas in the quest are not original and not interesting

Length:
4-The quest is neither very long or very short, keeps player entertained without boring them
2-The quest is a little too long or short, may bore the player somewhat but for the most part is an okay length
0-The quest is very long or short, and player is bored

Practicality:
4-The quest is practical, and the story is reasonable
2-The quest is somewhat practical, and the story is mostly reasonable
0-The quest is not practical, the story is not reasonable

EDIT:
Lesser Criteria:

Details
2-The quest has enough details to be interesting, yet not too many to be confusing or too little to be boring.
1-The quest has either a little too many details or too little.
0-The quest has either way too many jumbled details or nearly no details

Reward:
2-The reward for the quest is a good representation of the difficulty of the quest
1-The reward for the quest is either not enough to get people to do the quest or too good for the quest's difficulty
0-The reward is not incorporated, not at all realistic, or not incorporated in PU (i.e. a legendary Pokemon)

lol, thanks for approving, and I should have phrased that better. If you are grading and can't decide between a 4 or a 2, give it a 3. That's what I should have said.

4-The quest can easily be incorporated into this game and fits the storyline
2-The quest might be able to be incorporated and somewhat fits the storyline
0-The quest does not fit the storyline at all (eg. Must fight Pokemon in outer space)
--- End quote ---

I hope you're referring to the storyline that the member is suggesting to incorporate the quest, because PU doesn't not really have a storyline. It has some background history, but there is no storyline to respect so that most areas are accessible to any player.

Anyway, yes, it's a good post :)

Thanks for that, I changed that so that it is now worded better, and changed it up a bit.
I have also added lesser criteria in the form of details and rewards. These categories are worth half the points of the other criteria, because they aren't as important, but are still key to making a quest.
