Blitz might be done, but the grind never is. February's a month with a lot going on! Are you game for another round?

Reviewing Achievements Bingo is now officially over!
(It would've ended on February 1st, but then Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, retroactively meaning three more days of bingo.)

Congratulations to this year's winners (if you completed a bingo but didn't post the results in this thread, feel free to PM me with your results and I'll edit you in):

And super-extra-double congratulations to bluesidra for achieving complete blackout for an incredible 13 x Bingo Combo!

Reflections
I was fairly pleased with how the event went overall. The biggest misstep I think I made was the "That Wasn't Even My Final Review!" achievement (sorry kintsugi), which required you to review the same fic four different times. Completing this would usually require splitting up your reviews of multiple chapters into several distinct posts, which isn't necessarily something that should be encouraged. (It was specifically four because that was the number of different forms Frieza used in the Dragon Ball Z fight that spawned the "that wasn't even my final form!" meme, which is probably a silly thing to base reviewing event decisions off of.) If I was to run this event again with a fresh set of achievements, I think I'd require at most three different reviews for a single achievement - four seems like just a bit too much considering that the placement of achievements on the board is random, allowing a few high-effort achievements to prevent bingos solely due to bad luck. I'm not sure if I'll run this again next year, but if you have any suggestions or other feedback for the event, feel free to send me a DM on TR or Discord.

I had a lot of fun with this during Review Blitz! Disappointed that I wasn't able to get my shit together for a full blackout by the end of the month, but I think I did pretty well nonetheless. Hope you will bring this back next year!
