¿Question #2222?
thoia: Have you rated a game that you haven't actually played, but were influenced by others statements and now have a pre-dispositioned stand point on the game?

Rlupino: No
Kheotour: No.
ph0sgen: No, never!
MARCUSRPG: No, but I'm sure I have been swayed by the opinion of others in regards to even trying a new game.
Killbeggar: No, I only rate what I know.
resin: no, and that sounds a little bit nuts
Fenriz: No. That's dumb.
Frubgarde: I like to think I'm not that shallow.
vandemonium: Never.
manutd03: nope. seems kinda cheap.
Woelf: No, because that defeats the entire purpose of the rating system. Sometimes I even wait until I've played a game a couple times before rating it.
Evil Wayne: No, but I do have holes in my memory. Probably from the Sawhorse Incident...
Sheylon: Never. That's unethical.
Polgara: no
Stradk: no never
pwilz: probably, but I can't think of what it would be.
Diamat: Absolutely not, no.
CaptainDamon: Yes.
jannelle: No
BobbyChicken: no
Maijin: No. That is criminal. It's like believing in God just because your parents told you. But it's worse, 'cuz were talking boardgames here, man.
DHEK: Nope. I only rate games that I've played at least once.
aleo09: no.
dumpty: No
kentreuber: no
FrankLJ: No.
Ebon Wendigo: Nope
Leo-T: no
Greedo: Nope. I've only rated about 10 games and still have lots more to rate, so I'm not tempted to "cheat", yet.
Joel Baxter: Gawd no.
TimTheEnchanter: nope, and i haven't rated games i played just a few times either
MaksimSmelchak: No. I play the games I review. Often times, I rate older games that I played years ago.

Chris Page: No. But as of writing this I have yet to rate a game.
dietevil: no
KDSN: no
MeYesMe: It makes me angry just thinking about people who DO rate without actually playing.

xlorp: That would be rash and unprincipled.
scriptorum: No, but I have rated games that I have only played solitaire, if I played them enough to feel I understood them.
Jim_P: Yes
puzzleme: No. If a lot of people did that, these ratings would become meaningless.
obob: no, and in fact I've chosen not to rate some of the games I've played, out of recognition that I'm not a member of the "target market" for many games
GilvanBlight: No, I will not rate a game I haven't played. I have been influenced by others though on what games I will purchase.

Lord_Prussian: No
The Unbeliever: 42
P.O.G.G.: nope
darthcliff: Yes.
markk415: no
Randy Cox: I have rated games I have never and will never play. Let's say you create a wargame that takes 10000 hours to play and includes completely random violence, personal backstabbing, and RPG elements. I can give that a big fat 0 without ever trying it. If others can't, then they're just not perceptive enough. :)
puffinge: I would not do that.
Gecko23: Nope. group-think was never much of a pastime.
BaSL: no
Windopaene: Only Vive L'Emperor which stole Richard Borg's Battle Cry system with no attribution
