OP-M1 · Montage Mondays · VOD Review Night

Five praises. Five constructions. Every Monday.

Submit your clips. Receive a random fireteam VOD. Watch together on a custom Forge map. Speak honestly, listen humbly. This is how we grow — together, in the light.

Why The 5/5 Format

VOD review without scaffolding turns into a roast or a love-in. Neither builds Spartans. Five positives forces you to name what's actually working — most players cannot, and that's the first lesson. Five constructives forces precision — vague "you're bad at positioning" gets traded for "Lockout top-mid, you over-peeked twice at 4:12 and 7:33."

Reviewer is randomly assigned. You don't get to pick your audience and they don't get to pick you. Ego at the door, every Monday.

First time someone gave me five real positives I almost teared up. Nobody had ever told me what I was doing right.
RECRUIT-117 · First-time submitter
Giving feedback is harder than getting it. The format made me a more honest teammate in actual scrims.
VOID-9 · Reviewer · 12 weeks
My assigned drill was 'no peek twice in 10 seconds.' Took the whole week. Won my next scrim because of it.

FAQ
What clip length is allowed?+

Full games preferred. Hard cap is 12 minutes per clip, 3 clips per Spartan. Context shapes the feedback — montage edits hide the moments worth reviewing.

Can I submit anonymously?+

Yes. Reviewer-side is already anonymized; you can opt to anonymize submitter-side too. Notes still land in your private channel.

What if I get harsh feedback?+

Flag the review. Mods read every flagged note. 'Constructive ≠ harsh' is doctrine — reviewers who breach it lose the seat. Receiving honest critique respectfully is also a skill we're building.

Where do the clips and notes live?+

Clips in the Vault (purged after 30 days unless marked archive). Notes in the pair's private channel, permanent. Aggregated patterns surface anonymously in the doctrine archive.
