Hive Olympics 2008 - Race Expansion

[Anachron]

Well this contest hasn't any finished submission until yet.

 

[Kyrbi0]

If only you'd had that idea while the planning for this was still going on.

Ok, I'm sorry, but this just grinds my gears.

I have been consistently trying to do exactly that. I spent a great number of posts asking, nay pleading for changes to the scheme and requirements (specifically for modellers) of this contest in order to make it feasible. I'm currently busy, but if you don't believe me, just look up all of "Kyrbi0"s posts on the creation topic. No one listened. No compromises with "half custom models, half in-game models", or anything. So please don't give me that nonsense about raising this earlier.

(Moreoever, I've spent some time in this topic continuing to fight for lower workloads and/or increased deadline.)

/endrant.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hehehe. We got him pissed off.

You can end the contest setting now, folks. Prank's over

 

[Eccho]

Sure thing! Friday is a bit .. to less time... How should I make a new 128x128 terrain playable 2on2 map with less then 4 hours to spend on?? :S

Well, since the fact is that if you would have showed up right in time for the contest to begin you would have had 24*7*6 hours instead of 4hours. That is 6*7*6 times more time than you have now... So who are you to blaim ?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Alright...

Since we're all just beating around the bush here, might as well make it known (so no one can say we didn't try ):

Frostwhisper:

1. There are currently no submissions (to my knowledge), which is a real shame.
Can we please have an extension?
IMO, at least 1 week, the Monday after next (to get the next two weekends for working people).

2. As aforementioned (copiously...), the workload on modellers is disproportionately huge, compared to the other 2 team members.
Can we please lessen the workload on modellers?
IMO, only 1 Custom (Geomerge or Scratch) Model per race (still 2 races, so 2 custom models), In-Game (Used w/ Attachments or Unused) for the other 2 per race (4 non-custom models)

 

[Eccho]

hm?...

 

[frostwhisper]

Nah...

 

[D a w n]

with your new rule I would be finished with my work because I have completed 2 models so there would be no work for meat all D:

My problem with the contest is that I don´t have an idea for an original concept for the human hero and that I don´t know what building I should create to get a good tech tree

 

[Kyrbi0]

^And... that's bad?
(Seriously, the suggestion can be changed. Hence the "IMO".)

Nah...

Are you serious? That's a pretty non-committal answer to a desperate plea, man. :/

 

[Eccho]

Since most of the teams has quit the competition already (in fact I only think its yours and one more group left) there is no point of trying to revive it with longer deadline. If it would have been extended before, like, two weeks ago, then maybe.... but now? Everyone has kind of stopped caring :_:

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yeah, I know.

 

[skrab]

i made 3 model for only one race the terrain is 90% done
and the spells are not finished :/ if we finish that 6 spells we could submit our map
can we submit only one race?

 

[Kyrbi0]

^ Yeah, or that.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Too bad then,this is the first Olympic competion at Hive and it's going down hill!

 

[Anachron]

Add 2 extra days or I need to make a fast terraining and that would SUCK.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,you're the first closer to the end!

Do the lower quality terrain and submit it and you'll win due to the lack of competitors!

 

[Anachron]

But I hate fast terraining. :S

 

[Kyrbi0]

It's alright; just make the most basic map you can (completely playable, though), and then "beautify" it.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Lol my terrain is sex and its almost finished. But my team Isn't (Understandably, terraining is much easier). So whats the point of submitting it?

 

[General Frank]

I guess two additional weeks?

 

[Anachron]

A well decision! Because its the first Olympics this should have been given more time (so all can finish!)

 

[Fulla]

Dustin please come on msn
Lets pwn this comp!

 

[skrab]

who is the judge of this competition?

 

[Anachron]

Maybe read first post?

 

[D a w n]

Dustin please come on msn
Lets pwn this comp!

kekeke

 

[skrab]

Maybe read first post?

so who is the the contest's appointed judge?

 

[Anachron]

Frostwiper for once bc he created the topic?

 

[frostwhisper]

Hell no. I'm... "competing".

 

[Anachron]

Ah okay...

 

[skrab]

Frostwiper for once bc he created the topic?

/me facepalms

 

[Anachron]

Hell I thought of,... Whatever, who is?

 

[Hawkwing]

Sitting around and repeating the same things over and over again isn't going to solve the problem. Just keep at it, when we feel that you guys are nearing the completion of your submissions we'll make a deadline.

~ Thread ub3r cleaned, Deadline temporarily removed.

 

[Anachron]

Great, but now we gonna wait about months for teams Lets make a uber 1year terrain which has so fucking great enviroment that you can't play normally on it because you are just shocked about reality

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,that would be a good idea!

 

[Anachron]

Every idea frome me is good
/ironic off

Well I think unlimited time sucks aswell a new deadline.

I don't see any point in this anymore since teams are broken.

 

[Kyrbi0]

^The teams are not broken up; not all of them. I haven't heard/seen from Xatoga in a while (though that's probably because he's now working on the Campaign Contest as well), but I'm still here. With 2 weeks (or just "suspended deadline") I'm sure we can whip something up.

 

[Hawkwing]

All you have to do is contact your "former" teammate and get back to work. As for the deadline it's not removed forever, as soon as we get a good understanding of how much time you guys need we'll add one in. As for this morons who decide to go crazy and make the perfect map, well, they wont finish before that deadline.

 

[NearbyHermit]

People,optate for an easy map!

This genre of maps,is really easy and short!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Sorry for double posting,but my pages stay in the same place!

I'm always at page 39

 

[Kyrbi0]

Mine do too... Strange.

But you're not missing any of the posts, so meh?

~~~

@Anachron:
Alright, I'll PM Xatoga and see if he can't just whip up a few models. Normally I'd ask for your input, but in this situation, I'll just say "We're working on Undead and Human" (Undead were already half-made, but meh).

Break!

 

[Anachron]

Hmmm I really am interested in if there will be any chance for finishing cont.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Not if you keep asking that question.

Have you finished the terrain yet?

 

[Anachron]

Nope, still in progress.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Cool, cool. Just making sure you hadn't given up.

 

[Hawkwing]

Good to hear. ^_^

 

[Kyrbi0]

Now what'd be incredibly lame and ironic is if Xatoga and Anachron both did the work, but then I slacked off/forgot/got too much homework and failed to finish.

 

[Anachron]

Hell don't need to worry, I also take part in the terrain contest so I won't finish so far (ofcourse I have much 2 do these days).

Anyway I remake the terrain because it sucked alot, it was just a fastmade one for having something to submit when it would've been required.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Guys,are you too the only ones active in this competition?

 

[Anachron]

Seems like

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Guys fucking seriously, talk on MSN and stop spamming this thread with your team chat.
