Terraining Contest #16 - Poll

[Heinvers]

Thanks Laiev ^^

yay tomorrow the poll will close

 

[Chen]

Heinvers won! Poll abandon! Jokies, let's just keep our fingers crossed for the results

 

[Strydhaizer]

Omfg D: , it is already Nov 16 here in my country.

 

[sonofjay]

Heinvers clearly used his influence to get more votes.

Somebody kick his butt out of the poll.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Indeed, the quality of his submission influenced me to vote for him

wait. wut.

I did not :3

*prepares the bunker*

Edit: Dumb question incoming! Can two people be on 2nd and 3rd places? Just asking because I've seen that in older contests.

 

[Laiev]

three people in 2nd would be funny ^_^~

 

[fladdermasken]

Ohai guys. The poll is closed.

This means you will now flood this thread with relentless questions about when the results will be up. Normally I would explain that I can't publish the results before the judging from Gilles and Keiji is handed in, but since that usually doesn't stick I have to go off script here.

So for good measure, here is an answer for those dark times that await:

"WHEN THEY FUCKING DO!"

Thank you. <3

It is just a poll, 25% infuence even though it could be narrowed to 20% in my opinion.

How these 25% will be spread? Is it going to involve some kind of mathematical model and points will be given by the percent with respect to the amount of votes? Or only for taken place will be given a certain amount of points with no calculus?

 

[Vinz]

I think it's something around <votes for user> / <total votes>

 

[APproject]

Yeah and it should be multiplied with 25% coefficient 15.
15 x (number of votes for specific work) / (total number of votes)

With this method poll's influence in this situation of being 4 leaders will be so low. Heinvers getting 3.4 and other three 2.7 pts if this method is chosen. Really low influence, but just.

 

[fladdermasken]

How will these 25% be spread?

The forumula looks like this: Score S = 25v/TOT_v + 75( j₁ + j₂ )/TOT_p

where v = votes entry received, TOT_v = total poll vote count, j₁ and j₂ = score from judges, and TOT_p = total judge score possible.

Cut to two decimals.

Last icon (was it?) contest I ended up forgetting to vote. =( Couldn't let that happen again! but guess I did ='(

Edge45: The statues and waterfalls do give it a lot of life. The sight is just marvelous. I know in Warcraft III it's probably impossible, but that rising sun could have been an excuse to make an interesting lighting effect.

APproject: Epic. Something about it passes a cartoonish feeling though? The lightning, perhaps. It's a shame if you found limitations to make the building look properly illuminated by the thunder ray though.
The other thing I like about it is that it reminds me of the last scene of Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets overviewing Hogwarts at night in a very identical perspective.

Chen: Interesting, the intense blue sky is definitely the most likable about this. The fortress, which was the main element for this contest, could use a lot more love: you combined the human barracks towers with another model of clearly distinct architectural styles. The result is it looks a tad awkward. The rocks to the right also look like something random to fill up the rest of the scene.

fladdermasken: The cathedral looks gorgeous, of course. Despite the whee waterfall with crystal shiny water being the most notable aspect of the picture, what left me most interested was that opening between the trees. Is it a lake or a plateau? I think I see some stairs to get there? If yes, then that's pretty interesting!

Forsaken: Woah, is that a dragon or wyvern statue sorta thing?^^ Looks cool. It's a pity for the rest, though: although the sky is also pretty, the primary element, the fort itself, looks too monotonous if we take out the statue and in front of the entrance it looks a tad unreal and empty, in spite of the resemblances to some Neverwinter Nights 1 scenarios I came across (not necessarily a good thing, as the regions surrounding Port Llast were a bit poorly terrained).

I lack the time to go through the rest of them. In quick summary: points to MasterTrainer, not my favorite, but earns a few for the originality; median, for a very interesting scene, and Heinvers!

I vote (or not) for Edge45 as the voters are clearly lacking love for his submission.

 

[Heinvers]

I haz not been reviewed >_>

Discrimination.

 

[AIagremm]

Don't worry, your submission is great.

 

[Gilles]

Going to try and get to this tonight. Unfortunately I am getting my new video card today, so I'll definitely be gaming a lot.

 

[Celaquil]

I am *cough* in the process of getting this done myself.

Soon----ish™

 

[Heinvers]

Soon----ish™

Take your time.

 

[2-P]

Take your time.

Believe me, you don't have to tell him that.

 

[Chen]

Take your time.

Perhaps, the Bronze Dragonflight could lend some...

Anyways, I'm so excited

 

[Celaquil]

Believe me, you don't have to tell him that.

I believe you.

Also, say, what if I dish out my judgings in two halves, to keep the tension
alive while I... Certainly don't tend to the second half as I'm way past that
point! For sure.

 

[Heinvers]

Message.

You really like doing this, don't you?

 

[Celaquil]

Love it.

 

[APproject]

It would be really cool to see the results before 2015, hehe.

[Strydhaizer]

That'll be cool if he post the results on christmas It'll be the best gift for me only if i win this contest

 

[Vinz]

Recent Contests are slow. Most of us seem to be busy.

 

[Celaquil]

*Fills a glass of Whiskey and waits for Keiji*

Believe it or not, my part is done.
- I've sent my judgings to flad.

Three days ago.

Guess we're either waiting for Gilles,
or for fladder to post the results.

 

[Gilles]

Ahhhhh, fuck.

I'll have them done before Christmas, guaranteed.

 

[Heinvers]

Ahhhhh, fuck.

*pokes Gilles with an early Christmas gift*

============

In the meantime it would be nice to have another mini-contest up and running.

I'm so excited for tomorrow

The Picture 6 will be great.

 

[SA Dashie]

^That's a nice idea actually.

I'm thinking about joining one of these terraining contests one day, but looking at these submissions scares the hell out of me. xD
Maybe doing one of these contests will help me stop some of my lazy habits by making an awesome entry?

 

[Moy]

Until now, the result is not yet announced. Why is it taking too long? I'm so excited to who will win this.

 

[APproject]

Yeah, this takes really long. Cinematic contest is also delayed so much. It kind of repels from joining future contests in a way. But I'm sure there are proper reasons why it is delayed.

We're waiting for the other judgement to be passed to fladdermasken and the results posted.

Yeah, well why not throw some suggestions/ideas here?

 

[Celaquil]

Well.

Ask Gilles, it's him we're waiting for, I reckon.

 

[Gilles]

You reckon corrrect.

I want to apologize to the community and especially those that participated in this contest. I had promised to get my judging done by Chirstmas and I failed. While I am busy these days, it was completely selfish for me to choose what I felt like doing over what I had committed to doing for you guys. Please forgive my selfish tardiness, and I will do better next time.

Thanks guys.

Note: Numbers are in, but I have yet to do a write up explaining them. That will be done soon.

 

[Heinvers]

That's nice, make it as a New Year's gift

I mean the judging.
