Ambassador Links: Gone

Yesterday, Telamon tweeted a few things about the Ambassador feature. 

Before we go into what he said, we'll discuss what the Ambassador feature actually was.

It was a feature that let you embed links to roblox on other sites and would, if approved, earn you 2 tickets per link. Established in 2009, the ambassador program has had reasonable success but now it seems to be finished.

"Digging up stats on the Ambassador program to determine if it deserves to live #roblox"

This tweet was sent by Telamon yesterday from the account @shedletsky. Shortly after that was sent, this tweet arrived

"#ROBLOX Ambassador Program verdict: bit.ly/A0qssW (via @gkku)"

If you've clicked on the link it is pretty obvious it is going to be removed shortly. 

Roblox Reviews: Robloxias Best Prison vs DML - Prison Roleplay

Edition #11

Welcome to a special edition of Roblox Reviews. This week, I'll be reviewing two places with the theme of prison!

The first place claims to be the winner already. But will it be? Lets commence the reviews!

Robloxias Best Prison by MattOneX

Idea: 8/10

The idea for this place is quite original. Your either a police officer or a prisoner and you have to escape, but the police must try and stop you.

Gameplay: 5/10

The gameplay of this game is great. It is very confusing to know where to go and the map seems quite large; your in a police station that is very complex.

Scripting: 4/10

There is not alot of high-quality scripting in this game. It is alot of what seems to be free models and some GUI that aren't great.

Environment: 3/10

The environment in the game is poor. Its very confusing and being a police officer, it is hard to know what to do and where to go.

Enjoyment: 2/10

Its very hard to enjoy this game when you can't find your way around. The prisoners, to my knowledge, don't have anything to fight with whereas the police do, so you are instantly killed if you leave. Also, because the police have full control over everything, you are rarely allowed to leave.

DML - Prison Roleplay by MasterofDeathOnes

Idea: 8/10

The idea is original, as far as I can tell. You roleplay in a Prison. Even if its not original, its still the most popular on ROBLOX.

Gameplay: 8/10

The gameplay is going to be really good if you like Roleplay. Like I said the last time I reviewed a roleplay place; its up to you to decide whether its fun or not because its whether or not you like roleplaying. However, I enjoyed exploring this place without roleplaying!

Scripting: 7/10

There is some nice scripting in this game. The GUI's are nice and theres nice scripting, like telling Prisoners they can go and have dinner. Its very nice.

Environment: 7/10

The environment is very well detailed and perfect to roleplay in. However, it doesn't feel like a prison as such. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong areas...

Enjoyment: 8/10

If you like Roleplay, I think you will like this. I don't particularily like roleplay but I still found this game nice to look around. It's worth a look!

Final Scores

Idea: 8/10 vs 8/10

TIE
Gameplay: 5/10 vs 8/10
DML - Prison Roleplay wins!

DML - Prison Roleplay wins!
Environment: 3/10 vs 7/10
DML - Prison Roleplay wins!
Enjoyment: 2/10 vs 8/10
DML - Prison Roleplay wins!

So with 4 wins out of 5, the winner is:

DML - Prison Roleplay!

Hat Review: Adventurer's Cap

Adventurer's Cap

Price: Tx 500




Price: 8/10


The price is very good and affordable for NBC members of ROBLOX. It has a nice texture too, so I think it is worth it.

Colours: 7/10

The colours add alot of detail to this. The feather is nicely coloured and so is the blue on the hat. Its different shades add alot of detail.

Mesh: 7/10

The mesh, while not being used before (I don't think I've seen it before), doesn't seem very original, but is still a great mesh. It has alot of nice detail and looks realistic.

Overall: 8/10

This item is  good, it has a nice, realistic texture and has some nice colours which add to its realism. The mesh helps too. Its fairly cheap price makes this a must-have for an NBC that can afford. (And its not that much)

ROBLOX Reviews: ROBLOX Derby vs Lakeside

Edition #10
Hello and welcome to ROBLOX Reviews! Its back! So, lets get on with the places today! Theres been a slight change in ROBLOX Reviews since we last spoke. Now, to make sure we can get out as many ROBLOX Reviews as possible, I'll play each place for 5 - 10 minutes, write up my report and then compare final scores. However, you probably won't notice this change.

ROBLOX Derby by MarioStar6464

Idea: 10/10

The idea for this game is very good and original. Essentially, you drive around and crash into other cars, destroying them for points. Its very cool and addictive, blowing stuff up.

Gameplay: 8/10

The gameplay of this game is very good and original. By bashing into other vehicles you get points and this helps you to level up and unlock better vehicles with different abilities and strengths.

Scripting: 9/10

There is a fair amount of scripting in this game and it all works brilliantly. From regenerating a vehicle to levelling up and unlocking more. And to destroying other peoples vehicles. It works brilliantly.

Environment: 3/10

The environment is the major downfall of this game. It is incredibly boring. Some effort has been put in and there are some ramps, but otherwise its just a large green baseplate. Its not very good at all.

Enjoyment: 8/10

Even though the environment is poor, the game is still very enjoyable to play. It is really fun to go around and destroy everyones vehicles! The scripting works well and you will find yourself playing for ages trying to reach the next level and the next vehicle.

Lakeside by playrobot

Idea: 7/10

Lakeside is just another RP place.  Its a new game created by playrobot who is, of course, the creator of the famous Robloxiaville. Theres not much difference here, except for the environment. Overall, its an okay idea but its not great

Gameplay: 5/10

If you enjoy roleplay this might be higher, if you don't it might be lower. I don't really mind it, but this place gets a low score because it is incredibly laggy. After a few minutes though it does get a bit easier to walk around...

Scripting: 7/10

The scripting in this game is pretty much the same as in Robloxiaville, so its not exactly new. There are some new graphics though. However, the scripting still works well and is good.

Environment: 8/10

The environment, unlike at ROBLOX Derby, is one of the best things about this game. It is a large town, on the side of a lake. Well, it is called Lakeside.

It has nice detail and is a very good touch to this game, its very realistic so it should be good to roleplay in if you like that kind of thing.

Enjoyment: 6/10

Its not very enjoyable, because the lag might put you off. This rating is purely my opinion. I don't mind roleplay as I said above. Some people might really like this and some might hate it.

Final Scores

Idea: 10/10 vs 7/10

ROBLOX DERBY WINS!

Gameplay: 8/10 vs 5/10

ROBLOX DERBY WINS!

LAKESIDE WINS!

Enjoyment: 8/10 vs 6/10

With 4 wins out of 5, the winner is
