Terraining Contest #7 - Small World

Palaslayer · Jul 4, 2009

yep. this crowded thing in it. i love it really. though it is hart to make out the clock in it. and when you do you wonder how broad it is. but nonetheless an excellent terrain to me and i think nobody can complain about style or write a good critic when it isnt from an objective view such as 'i dont like your style'.

~Void~ · Jul 4, 2009

Well if you don't like someone's style you don't like their style, but it's always nice to have some tips for improvement.

H-Bomber · Jul 4, 2009

You know what i always say: criticizing is easy, art is difficult. LOL pissing people off must be fun.

Palaslayer · Jul 5, 2009

correct. sad that i cannot rep you atm.

Except that's not true at all. Proper criticism takes expertise. To be honest, art is not difficult at all. It takes skill, but it is not difficult unless you make it difficult.

So neither are particularly difficult, they just take skill.

o wow i didn't even knew that post of H-Bomber had a "lol pissing people off must be fun"

Gummifrog · Jul 5, 2009

Belive me or VOID is pro

i think its something he paint xD

~Void~ · Jul 5, 2009

Meh, I've let my terraining slip a little lately to be honest. I'm out of good ideas. But before we get off-topic... let's talk about something else.

H-Bomber · Jul 5, 2009

I admit that it can be the other way around. But what i mean by critisizing is like a non professional opinion. And by art, i mean true art, not just something you just decide to create, and you finish it like that.

~Void~ · Jul 6, 2009

True art? There's good art and there's bad art and a whole bunch of gray area, but I'm not sure there's any such thing as "true art".

PurplePoot · Jul 6, 2009

Reading 39 pages took long enough without writing 17 essays. If you want critique of your terrain, then PM me.

One extra sentence is hardly an essay.

That's the point. He wrote 17 sentences instead of 17 essays, and he's offering to write essays for people that request them.

raid1000 · Jul 6, 2009

so when are those results going to show up?

Ziggen · Jul 6, 2009

Yes, shouldn't take 6 days to judge. If you have taken the task to judge, I think you should do it a bit faster...

Just_Spectating · Jul 6, 2009

i think you should consider the amount of win in this contest.

it's not easy determining a winner you know

THE JUDGES ARE VEEEEEERY LAZEH!
thats your problem

H-Bomber · Jul 6, 2009

Lazy judges = pissed off contestants.

Gilles · Jul 6, 2009

We're supposed to be judging? Whoops.

~Void~ · Jul 6, 2009

Lulz. xD

Wolfhelm · Jul 6, 2009

Yeah im not sure what esactly us judges are suppose to do. Are we suppose to score everyones terrain on diffrent stuff like theme, difficulty, awesomeness, or do we just say who we think is 1st 2nd 3rd? And who are we suppose to report to?

theme, atmosphere, profesionism(tile variation, no spam and shit), hours that you put in it.

give point from 1 to 10 to all 4 categories then sum up the points to obtain the final result, then you give the judging to void who if is not very lazy will sum up the final results from all judges and come up with the final final score of the terrainer

ofc void must do that for OVER 17 terrains!!!11 so i advise you pull out your pocket calculator void

Minus that category. Time doesn't mean shit.

Honestly, I say just give it your honest rating out of 100 and try to think of how original, well-executed and relevant to the theme it is while you're making the rating.

H-Bomber · Jul 6, 2009

Lol this should have been discussed AGES ago... xD
I believe the judges should just judge how they want to judge. Not just follow a criteria.

Wolfhelm · Jul 6, 2009

Nah we should all judge the same way (score between 0-100) otherwise it would be confusing as hell and if we all submit a score for each terrain its less likely to be any ties.

Ill get to work..

Megafyr · Jul 6, 2009

I agree with H-Bomber. Judges should judge the way they want, but they can still use the x/ 100 system for easy math.

~Void~ · Jul 6, 2009

Hmm some of the judging has come in already. I'm tied with raid so I'm happy. xP

leet.firefox · Jul 6, 2009

Already? It's been over for 5 days. I thought I was late. :\

Wolfhelm · Jul 7, 2009

My vote's are in, now i sit around and wait to see who won like everyone else.

That's faster than usual.

Rising_Dusk · Jul 7, 2009

I'm curious to see how (un)biased the judgments end up being this time.

~Void~ · Jul 7, 2009

Well I can almost guarantee that they will be at least a little more well-thought-out than poll votes.

Rising_Dusk · Jul 7, 2009

Something being thought-out has no bearing on whether or not it is biased.

~Void~ · Jul 7, 2009

I didn't say it did, but it makes the final result more accurate.

leet.firefox · Jul 7, 2009

Well, considering how I just love everybody here so much I think it is safe for you to assume my scores were not biased.

Ass kisser

H-Bomber · Jul 7, 2009

i still think the winner should get a pet chicken.

Just_Spectating · Jul 7, 2009

or maybe some fried chicken

mmmmmmmm

H-Bomber · Jul 7, 2009

D:
pets are better.

Just_Spectating · Jul 7, 2009

food is necessary.

H-Bomber · Jul 7, 2009

ok lets not go off topic Just Spectating. CHICKENS ARE BETTA AS PETS
Cmon judges, judge that art

Nor did I point fingers; stop assuming. Furthermore, something being 'thought-out' yields more detail and critique in it, but it doesn't imply the veracity of those statements (Hence bias can creep in). And if you really want to fight semantics, then PM me and I'll yell at you there.

I just figured you were talking about my previous comment. It was also about things being "well thought-out".

H-Bomber · Jul 8, 2009

Lol argument

~Void~ · Jul 8, 2009

I don't mean it to be; it's just a discussion.

H-Bomber · Jul 8, 2009

I understand.

raid1000 · Jul 9, 2009

where
are
the
results?

leet.firefox · Jul 9, 2009

I know mine and Wolfhelms are in. That leaves Sabertooth, Nbah, and frostwhisper.

raid1000 · Jul 9, 2009

frosty is banned and i didn't see Sabertooth for a wile :S

Megafyr · Jul 9, 2009

Isn't Gilles gonna judge too? : >

Judges should have a deadline too, by the wy!
