Terrain Contest #5 Results

Congratulations to our winners!

raid1000 OA 9/10 Theme 5/5 Creativity 8/10 Technical 8/10 I think that this one was pretty good. However, some of th tiles looked a bit weird with the overlapping (grassy dirt + snow). You could've used a bit more environment, but it was still good. Good job overall. 30/35 Votes: 12 Final Score:59	Mr.Goblin OA 9/10 Theme 5/5 Creativity 10/10 Technical 8/10 Now there's a winter wonderland. Very good use of doodads, technicality, tiles, everything. Really good job :> 32/35 Votes: 4 Final Score:51	TerraNexx OA 4/10 Theme 4/5 Creativity 5/10 Technical 4/10 Well, it's a start and passable for a normal map, but it's nothing very special. You need to work on adding doodads. 17/35 Votes: 1 Final Score:25	\Naze OA 9/10 Theme 5/5 Creativity 8/10 Technical 8/10 Really nice, I liked the skeletons and that you used the light well in a playable map. Good prison/building BTW. 30/35 Votes: 3 Final Score:47
Nbah OA 7/10 Theme 5/5 Creativity 7/10 Technical 7/10 Technically, good map, nice and roundabouty material. Although... I can walk through some things, that sorta killed some of for me >_<. Good job otherwise though. 26/35 Votes: 2 Final Score:40	Slaydon OA 4/10 Theme 3/5 Creativity 3/10 Technical 3/10 Uhh. Tiny map, shrub/seaweed spam (I thought it's winter!) and not much to see.. With more time spent on this, yeah, but like this? :[ 13/35 Votes: 3 Final Score:23	~Void~ OA 9/10 Theme 5/5 Creativity 7/10 Technical 9/10 Good job, as always (-_-) It wasn't exactly the most special thing IMO, but it was still good. (Special as in highly creative). I'll admit the lighting system was cool there, but not really necessary. 30/35 Votes: 12 Final Score:59

1st - raid1000, ~Void~
2nd - Mr.Goblin
3rd - \Naze

 

[bounty hunter2]

Congratulations everyone, I didn't expect a tie but somehow I find it the most fair now.

@Gilles
Your tittle isn't centered

is only present

 

[Gilles]

Yeah, yeah, I fixed it all up. I wish I hadn't hit submit instead of preview.

 

[Linaze]

Congratulations especially to the winners even though I think most people did a really god job.

 

[bounty hunter2]

You could delete the thread? But it's not a problem anyhow.

 

[raid1000]

so i take half of the icon? xD

 

[Linaze]

No, it's time for... Sudden Death!

 

[raid1000]

u mean like russian roulette?
hey Void got what he wanted his a terrain mod now
so gief me the PRIZE!

 

[Gilles]

I'm thinking two icons. What do you guys think?

You could have a contest between you and Void.

 

[raid1000]

darn liek 2 icons like split in half by the middle lol
like the other half shall be the same colour of teh background like what i did with my avatar lol

 

[FrIkY]

Hey!! Two first places! Awesome! ^^
Congratulations to raid1000 and ~Void~!! (Mr.Goblin and \Naze, too)

 

[LiOneSS]

I'm thinking two icons. What do you guys think?

A challenge might do

 

[Rising_Dusk]

You do realize that if you have a tie for first, you can't have a second place, right? It would be 1st/1st/3rd. /Naze shouldn't be listed. (Nothing personal)

 

[~Void~]

I'm thinking two icons. What do you guys think?

You could have a contest between you and Void.

An icon challenge?

 

[Gilles]

I realized that after. I didn't know if I should reverse anything though, now that it's done.

Void, yeah, you'd have a challenge in the Challenge Arena, and the winner get's an icon.

 

[~Void~]

Hmm. Interesting. Give us a good theme, please.

 

[Gilles]

raid will have to agree, and I figure no theme?

 

[~Void~]

No theme sucks. Gief theme naow.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

What the hell kind of judge allows a tie to happen anyways. Sheesh..

 

[Gilles]

Not me?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

lol

maybe you should give both of the 1st place winners different icons...

and give it a special name or subtitle like " winter works " " tied for 1st "

i dont know some crap like that xD

 

[raid1000]

GRRRRAAAHH IMA BE READY FOR DUEL!!!!....
iz gonna be a duel? D:

 

[FrIkY]

Just give them both +rep and award icons! Everyone's happy then!

 

[~Void~]

Haha, I'm cool with that. I'm sure Raid is too ;]

 

[bounty hunter2]

What the hell kind of judge allows a tie to happen anyways. Sheesh..

Was this so necessary. Have you even checked the boths terrains, you would probably realize that they are both excellent and since the public poll was a tie, Gilles couldn't decide on the winner and I am sure no one could. In the end a tie was the only thing left. I don't see a problem with that. :/

 

[Mr.Goblin]

WTF!!! LOL !! LOL i have a better rathing than Void and Raid100! this means it's only because of the vote that i lost

yeah!

/cheers!

 

[Naze]

Oh, so here are the results.

Okay ,but, why anyone recieved the rep prize?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Yeah, it was necessary. A judge, when posed with the opportunity to judge between two very close entries, must be able to look at minute details and discern exactly who deserves that 1 extra point over the others. This is important. Now the judge is requiring that the entrants do some extra challenge thing in order to receive their first place? That is ludicrous, really. Can't you see that?

 

[~Void~]

I actually agree with that.

 

[Belgarath]

Pff, I was thinking famous is finishing too. And I also did the judging before the tie happened, or just as it happened.

If you want me to choose the winner, I'll go ahead and look at the terrains again, and choose...

I didn't judge. Although I also didn't notice there was a tie until I was putting up the results. I suppose it was partly my fault.

Agreed. I've had ties, but I went back and looked over them again, and decided on a winner.


So, Void and Raid, would you rather have Belgarath decide a winner, have a challenge between the two of you, or literally split the icon?

 

[~Void~]

I'll go for the second option there, but I like to see numbers.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Well you are probably right. But it is hard for anyone to make that one point difference and it's just that it's so close. I think that any judge would feel that he wasn't fair if he made a winner out of these too.

I didn't judge. Although I also didn't notice there was a tie until I was putting up the results. I suppose it was partly my fault.

Oh yeah I forgot you didn't. I don't see why it would be your fault, you simply posted the results. You maybe overlooked the fact it was a tie and should waited and tell Belagrath to decide the winner.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I think that any judge would feel that he wasn't fair if he made a winner out of these too.

Trust me, nothing in this world is exactly equal to anything else except mathematics. You only need to find a judge who is skilled enough to find the difference. Famous, for instance, already said X was better than Y before pointing out he didn't have the time to legitimately judge.

 

[2-P]

If you can't come up with a solution you could simply declare me to be the winner. ^^

 

[Gilles]

Perhaps if you were to participate 2-P....

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Thank God he doesn't. If everyone from wc3c participated here instead, the site would die.

 

[Linaze]

It's awesome how Dusk's statement is so true.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Trust me, nothing in this world is exactly equal to anything else except mathematics. You only need to find a judge who is skilled enough to find the difference. Famous, for instance, already said X was better than Y before pointing out he didn't have the time to legitimately judge.

Then it's basically the administrations fault as they had a judge that could decide. No offense Belgarath. Never mind this anymore, what was done is done and now it remains to decide what happens next

 

[~Void~]

What the hell do the admins have to do with this? :/

 

[bounty hunter2]

Rising_Dusk said that Famous had it already decided, that X is better then Y, but the administration, Gilles in peticular hurried and posted the results based on one judge. I am not blaming anyone or anything as I wasn't even in the contest and it isn't so a big deal I just wanted to respond to Rising_Dusk.

 

[~Void~]

Famous said Raid's was better than mine, but \Naze never got to vote, and he said mine was better than Raid's. It's still tied.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Technically, Void, that's not the case since judging always carries far more weight than a single vote.

 

[~Void~]

However Famous isn't a judge anymore.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

At the time he was, which would have changed the verdict had he the time to do it - which is what matters considering you were talking about a vote, which would've occurred at the same time.

Please stop to think before responding, I really dislike having to explain obvious things to people who clearly are bright enough to figure it out on their own.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

i don't want to be third D:

well i don't really care.. but it does sucks abit, its like giving me a reward, and than remove it.

but meeh, i'm not judging, and i still got more ranked than void and Raid100 by the judge

Actually, he had already said he was too busy about two lines above. My point is, we should call it a tie or have a tiebreaker.

 

[raid1000]

so is this a flush? or wtf? who won?

 

[~Void~]

From a completely objective point of view, I think it was a tie and should be left that way.

Oh the irony..
