I think it should be a mix of unannounced and announced evaluations. Guild members could scout out various MUDs and give their first impressions and reviews, then the Guild could announce that they will be trying the game out together. This way there is little to no interference from the administration in the beginning. When the evaluation is complete, the Guild publicizes all reviews and commentary.

One thing I don't want to see is the administration censoring reviews and evaluations that reflect poorly upon them from their own people. It's already the case in the MUD community where many MUD admins jealously guard their members so that they can keep warm bodies sending in commands to their games. These admins won't want their own people (or anyone else) reading poor reviews about their own games.

Another goal would be for the Guild to come up with a standard review format for each member. Each member will write their opinions and rate the same aspects of each game on their own and have space to write a short essay of their experiences. Maybe the total overall rating for a game would be based on total positive and negative reviews.
