(...) It's not *just* Castle that's getting the 'zero' rating, if you dig a little deeper you'll see that someone hates a good majority of the sets out there. I've seen that rating pop up on a number of themes (every set in the theme has it). I (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

There are other themes that have this problem - a single "0" rating. Maybe instead of the 50% default to balance things - they should score things like they do in Olympic Ice skating/gymnastic competitions - throw out the highest and lowest scores. (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

No, it looks like someone (or a different someone in each case, possibly) cast a "0" rating for some--not all--of theCastle sets. I'm certainly not complaining, since everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But it is a curiosity without a context (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

If you look at set 6073, you can see the short gray line at 50(%) that is the default rating ( I think ). I temporarily rated this set myself at 50%, and a reddish line appeared appended to the gray one. ( I then removed my rating, as I don't have (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)

I was just browsing through the Lugnet set guide. Lots of the Castle sets (6073, 74, 80, 81, 85 off the top of my head) have a single "0" rating. Is this the work of a rival theme mercenary, or does someone really not like these castles? binky --- (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.castle)
