Terrain Contest 6 - Poll

[raid1000]

what i added a boat to the water, what else to add? @_@

 

[HFR]

Ummm... Fish? Rocks? Seaweed? More plants? Lights? And the snowflakes are... a bit strange...

 

[Restor]

My opinion is that the theme was so wide, that most of the screens are just "some wilderness or forest with some stronghold" and dont have any mythology within. Next time, it should be better theme to make some specific scene from mythology (but very specific), becouse now, someone just terrain some random ancient city or forest and tells that it is mythology, where is different between some ashenvale forest and some forest from nordic legends?

maybe you see my point.


I voted for raid100, it was close to the "mythology" (but the gardens truly existed so it was more history than mythology, but whatever)

 

[HFR]

Well, actually an forest and a stronghold are... Mithologic? At least I added an giant tree...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Don't whine.


Thanks.

 

[Oziris]

Well then i just said that because i diden't look much at the sky so i commented like wow you have a great Sky radi1000. But when i looked closer it wasn't really special.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Ok whatever. Back to the contest itself.

 

[bounty hunter2]

It was a hard one to decide. I'l go with mega for this one.

 

[HFR]

Mega's one is good. It has an excellent atmosphere. Much better than mine...
/me faints

 

[frostwhisper]

Sheesh. Learn2lose. Plus, wait 'till you get a look at my judging. You'll shit brix faint again.

 

[~Void~]

The poll is only worth 25% of the final score. Hypothetical person A could get 500,000 votes on the poll while everyone else got zero, thus a 100% to 0% ratio, and so long as hypothetical person B got a judging score more than 50% higher than hypothetical person A, hypothetical person B would win the contest.

 

[frostwhisper]

 

[Gilles]

That's math....

 

[HFR]

Huh? Science? ...as Gilles said, more like math...

 

[frostwhisper]

Google has failed me. So suck it.

Uh no. Lets say the judging was out of 50 and there were two judges. So 100 points from judging total, scaling to 75%.

Person A: (100% from poll = 25) + (let's say 26.666 from the judges * 4/3 = 20) = 45
Person B: (0% from poll = 0) + (let's say 60 from the judges * 3/4 = 45) = 45

Person B would have to get an overall judging score of 33.333 points+ (%) than person A to win. So that's 16.667 from each judge.

 

[HFR]

This is much Mathness to me.

Oops. Same shit. So basically if Gilles judges, Raid wins, otherwise he doesn't. ^^

 

[Wolfhelm]

Damn im noob, i didnt know your not suppose to vote for yourself. I shoulda read rules. At the time i voted everyone had like 1 vote so i assumed everyone had voted for themselfs i wasnt trying to be self centered. I didnt know it was such a crime... all my hard work gone to waste cuz of that... pfft

 

[HFR]

Man, stop blaming yourself. You even have more votes than me.

 

[Belgarath]

i think next time i enter a contest i will just start cutting myself instantly as people hate my terrains always
/attention whore + whine extreme

I'm not trying to be an asshole but do keep an eye on Oziris's voters..

 

[HFR]

Dickwand... He isn't quite new here?

 

[Belgarath]

# 50 % of the winner shall be determined by the contest's appointed judge(s).
# 50 % of the winner shall be determined by the results of a public, unbiased, uninfluenced, unmultiaccountfriendvoted poll.

HELL!

They changed it. The polls are now worth 25%. Don't you read?

NOTE TO VOTERS: If you registered within the past month, you may not vote in this poll. This poll will be worth 25% of the final score.

 

[Belgarath]

Yeah. You need to update that void, do tell us beforehand D:

 

[Oziris]

Ok, well that wasn't me. I admit the last time i made multiple , but this time? Why would i do that again? the last time i did it i could have been banned from Hive not just from the contests, so better think again.

Edit: Look at the internet connection of the user and see with who user does it match from the contest!

 

[Belgarath]

I really don't know. Why'd you do it last time? That's a good question too...

 

[Oziris]

Wanted to win?
If this was me, i would have made 5 more clone users...but this is only one user so you cant really blame me.
It would not really matter because the judge vote counts more so....

 

[frostwhisper]

His vote still shouldn't be counted, as he doesn't match the poll's requirements. Simple as that.

 

[Oziris]

Ok, then we are finished with this.

 

[frostwhisper]

Or are we?

If you check right here...

HA! Got you worried, Ozi, didn't I? DIDN'T I? EH? GUILTYRAWRAWRAWRAWR.

 

[Oziris]

I am just going to quit these contests because everything is shit when i enter.All ways some drama, well F*** i dont care anymore you can ban me from all contests i cant deal with this anymore.

Or are we?

If you check right here...

HA! Got you worried, Ozi, didn't I? DIDN'T I? EH? GUILTYRAWRAWRAWRAWR.

Fuck*** you imo, i ain't felling guilty of anything.

 

[Just_Spectating]

wow, raid is just destroying the competition!

 

[Pyritie]

Fuck's sake, can we have a single contest these days without some sort of drama?!

 

[raid1000]

wow, raid is just destroying the competition!

its not because of me, its because of the voters

 

[hellblazer-14]

Wow, some very... unique and beautiful entries guys =D

I had real difficulty deciding between Raid1000's and Oziris's terrains...
but in the end I decided to go for Oziris, he's got a far more, original concept, and somehow.... he hasn't uberspammed doodads into it, it's a fine balance between too much and too little.
Great show everyone, I wish I could have worked on this as well

Raid1000 - The scene, and the amount of detail you've put into this terrain is so good, it's overwhelming... only one thing which I noticed is with your temple. It's kinda... the same doodads spammed over and over again xD
appart from that, I love the sky and the stars in it, and I love the brilliant background.

Oziris - You've also made a marvelous effort, I really like the setting / rising sun in the background, and the overgrown city is very well made as well, even though I don't like the Naboo model sets very much ><
The small rocky island to the right adds to the flavour, it's really pretty, and looks realistic too

 

[Celaquil]

everything looks good except some mountains

Wer? D:

 

[Dickwand]

Actually... I've been here for some years now...

 

[HFR]

Awn, these dramas... My first contest and already AHHHH!!! Can we just simply watch raid1000 win in the poll already? I want to see who goes in second!

 

[Oziris]

Me or Keji will be third Wolfhelm isn't anymore in the contest? well i liked his, only if he diden't used those ice blocks in every way.

 

[HFR]

Megafyr has already 9. And I think that Wolfhelm is still in the contest.

 

[Megafyr]

Wer? D:

Well.. Since u asked.. I think the one pointed out should have been a little lower.. But it's not really that much of a problem.. Just you know, everybody always has something to pick on xD

 

[HFR]

It's another? The isn't over? And by the way, I not the last one!!!! For the first, well, isn't that bad.

 

[ArcticInferno]

Wolfhelm, you are still in the contest, your vote will not be counted, that's all.

You still stand a great chance of winning the top 3

 

[Wolfhelm]

Anyways, i had fun in the contest up untill the voting part...
raid1000 really came out strong i think he set the bar very early and everyone else was just trying to out-do him. Megafyr, HFR and Oziris kept it going strong. This was a pretty hard competition. I myself probably made 3 diffrent maps befor going with the final.

GooS - if you had entered earlier you probably coulda dont much better i liked your concept tho.

ArcticInferno - Same for you, came in kinda late otherwise coulda done much better. I fail to see what this has to do with mythology, but mine could be anything too.

HFR - I like yours very much if i could change my vote i would vote for you. I like what you did with the lighting i wasnt sure how good this was going to come out but it looks great and you didnt get enough credit.

Megafyr - What can i say... awesome + looks like it could be playable, you should do somthing else with that terrain (im thinking cenimatic) I dont like how red the last submission came out tho.

frostwhisper - Considering how late you joined thats a really good terrain, i love the fortress in background. Only thing i can say is fairys are gay. xD

Acvong - I dunno about this 1... the fog is too thick, that lighthouse leaning over like that kills me and the sun doesnt look quite right. If you had put more work into it this coulda been much better.

Keiji - Your is cool - i like how its pretty much the opposite of mine. I didnt like the tree selection or the background tho. Its still good just needs some tweaks.

raid1000 - This is definatly epic, the building construction is very well done. The sky is lacking in a very bad way though and the glows in the doorways of the temples is coming from what? Cuz you can clearly see theres nothing inside them but theres this extremely white glow right in the doorway.

Darkyvm - I like the atmosphere very much but the sky and sun seems mess up.
Also hills seem a bit plain but this is definatly best work i ever seen of yours.

H-Bomber - This is like hell on a crazy acid trip. Not only can you clearly see the edge of the map but you decided to place glowing balls all around it to make it stand out even more. Seem amaturistic.

Belgarath - Yours seems far to simple, what is it suppose to be a wall? Anyways the vegitation and atmosphere are good but whats with those lights from above?

Cobra-B - The only person who actualy stuck with the Atlantis theme. It came out good. I like the corals and fish, looks like you put alot of effort into making it come to life. Its not epic though, woulda been cool to see more of Atlantis.

Oziris - Its good i would say on par with Darkyvm's. There is that 1 annoying tree on the top of the hill leaning over. The sky + right side of picture seem empty.

 

[HFR]

Well, this is it. Now, let's wait until May to see who's going in Second and Third.

 

[Paku]

I voted for Wolfhelm. Reminds me of wow.

 

[HFR]

WoW... Icecrow?
