Reword the rule “Everyone’s a Critic” to:-
An Artist may post a Critique of another Artist’s non-Critique Work of Art. In the Critique, he or she may delve into subtle details of the artwork, speculate on the Artist’s hidden artistic goals, and choose to compare the Artist to some of his or her contemporaries.
Any Artist named in the first, third or fifth paragraph of a Critique is considered Praised by that Critique, unless the named Artist is the Artist who posted the Critique. Any Artist named in the second, fourth or sixth paragraph of a Critique is considered Scorned by that Critique. If an Artist is both Praised and Scorned in the same Critique, they are considered Scorned by that Critique and not Praised by it.
If three or more Artists have expressed Approval of the Critique, and if the Critique was posted not more than one week ago, then the Artist who posted the Critique may Publish it (if they have not already done so) by posting a comment on the Critique to that effect. Upon doing so, all Artists Praised by the Critique gain 1 Acclaim, and all Artists Scorned by the Critique lose 1 Acclaim.
Critiques may not be Exhibited.
If “How (not) To Gain Acclaim At Someone Else’s Expense” failed, remove the final sentence from “Everyone’s a Critic”.
Might be interesting if Critiques could be a little broader, praising and criticising several Artists at once (which seems like it could start tying into Movements). Critiques seem like a lot of work for a small effect at the moment.
