Concept Competition of Doom -- POLL!

[Elenai]

Curses!...Now I'm tied for second place...

 

[Sacrimo]

Most people with 1s picked themselves.

 

[RED BARON]

Thats why this shouldnt be an anonyme poll....

 

[Just_Spectating]

then a who only poll??

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

I'd rather trust people not to vote for themselves; but I won't stop them. The margins are big enough that their faggottry is phased out anyway.

 

[Just_Spectating]

one question, to whom wins, how long will it take for the model to be out, or is it only downloadable for the winner?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The model will be released publically.

The length of time taken to create the model will be based entirely on the difficulty of the concept. Moyack's, for example, may take a month or more.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i really want to see that pirate in action.

most creative too.

 

[Xatoga]

Gracias. That is right my brothers, rise up from the oppression and vote Robo-Pirate!

 

[Pyritie]

So seeing as low_kwaliti and I have 5 votes, and the next two people have 7, and then moyack has 14, does that mean I'd get 3rd or 5th?

 

[RED BARON]

Well normally you would gain 3rd together with low_kwaliti, meaning you both get 3rd +rep (thats how wolverabid does)

 

[Just_Spectating]

darn i dont know why everyone likes moyack's. but for RDZ it would work well with marine/rifleman anims.

 

[Pyritie]

RDZ scratch animates.

Oh, and I'm guessing because Rao likes transformers that he'll let this one pass even though it says in the rules that:

• The concept must not be 'ripped' from any other computer game, film...
  • I will judge the line between 'heavily influenced' and 'carbon-copy', seeking additional judgement from fellow moderators/admins if there is cause for dissatisfaction.

 

[Just_Spectating]

how cheap, thats a disqualification! GO PIRATE!!

 

[frostwhisper]

Pyritie has a point there.

 

[Elenai]

Vote for me....afterall..what could possibly be a more awesome weapon..Than a flame thrower.

PYROMANIA!!! Ghahahahaha!!!

 

[Just_Spectating]

too bad everyone already voted, you will have to talk to some random stranger.

 

[RED BARON]

Pyritie has a point there.

Thought so too, but it is RDZ's choice...

 

[donut3.5]

It isn't a carbon copy. Influenced yes, copy no.
Now deal with the fact you didn't get first and accept moyack's ownage.

--donut3.5--

 

[Just_Spectating]

im not even in this contest XP

 

[madcat2]

i liked SuPa-'s 0_0

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

It's not a carbon copy; being a fan of the film as I am, I know the characters well enough to say that moyack's concept is no copy of any item I am aware of.

The "no copies" rule was produced so we didn't get a rush of people drawing things such as "Terran Goliaths" and other Starcraft shite that has been requested a million times before. Heavy influence is allowed because we are all products of everything we have ever seen -- in the universe, there are no original ideas; merely recombinations of existing ideas.

And if you wish to dispute 'heavily influenced', then you should also note Elenai's entry being very heavily influenced by Warhammer 40k's Eldar... Oh, wait, he's only in second place by a tiny margin.

Really guys, I'm detecting a lack of sportsmanship here -- first Pyritie's blabbering on about everyone voting for themselves, and now this. I have judged all entries you see in the poll above fit according to the rules I laid down, and discarded others that were not.

Less of the crying, lads, and more of the "bah, I'll do it better and win by a huge margin next time!"

Besides, there is still a day or so of voting left.

 

[Sacrimo]

This is also a learning experience, it tells you to try harder next time! Seriously guys, just like Rao Dao Zao said, its all a game here, and we are here to have fun with the possibility of rep, gaming needs sportsmanship.

Moyack is a very skilled artist with patience of a tree, I don't think you guys know how long it took him to make his drawings, he deserves to win in my opinion.

 

[Elenai]

then you should also note Elenai's entry being very heavily influenced by Warhammer 40k's Eldar... Oh, wait, he's only in second place by a tiny margin.

Indeed, this is true. My design was highly influenced by the Eldar...mostly the Wraith Lord.

I personally like Moyack's piece...I just hope I get keep second place atleast

 

[Xatoga]

I beg to differ, mates, vote for the mega-original space pirate!

I'm a horrible campaigner. But I'll give out t-shirts... not

 

[Just_Spectating]

i already have voted for mechanical pirate with metal wire beard and lightsaber peg leg woot!

 

[Pyritie]

Poll closes in about 6 hours.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Time's a-wastin'!

 

[Kwaliti]

We just got pwnz0rd by moyack.

Ah well, have fun modeling this Rao

 

[Pyritie]

Eleven minutes!

 

[Deleted member 126647]

3 votes and you'll tie for second. Good luck with that.

 

[Pyritie]

I wasn't really expecting to win anyway. Well maybe at least get 3rd or something. But meh.

 

[RED BARON]

We all love you anyway pyritie... and your homie dragons..

Hmm Seems like an other transformer is comming... what was its "normal" form?

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Nice.. although I wanted to see that space pirate. But hey cant Xatoga not make it himself

 

[moyackx]

First of all, I want to give my gratitude to Rao Dao Zao for developing this contest and, indirectly, for give me a good excuse to return to the pencil activity. I want to be honest: this makes me feel alive again. From now on, I'll dedicate more time to the drawing activity rather than scripting. I want to give my gratitude too to all the people who voted for me and gave me support and enthusiasm to retake the drawing.

I trust blindly in Rao Dao Zao skills, and I'm sure the result will be much better than the concept itself, simply I'm just too impatient to see the result.

Unfortunately (and I feel that I have to say it), I sensed a bad attitude among some contestants, which drove me to doubt about how seriously they took this contest (mainly when I saw that intention of screw up my entry giving a bad interpretation to one rule) damn!!! that's too low and immature.

It's sad to have a bad thing with a contest when the purpose of this kind of events is to learn, to be fair, to show your skills, to prove yourself, to improve yourself. For that reason I took the decision to not participate anymore in any contest at the Hive, I don't want to pass for that situation never more.

 

[Xatoga]

Heh, I'll model it this weekend or sometime soon, but the thing is my animations are ungodly awful and I can't convert for crap.

Gratz to you Moyack. But seriously, don't complain about it so much, you won, didn't you?

 

[Just_Spectating]

nice xatoga, give me the model too XD
