Terrain Contest 6 - Poll

[Oziris]

Nice, i have 7 votes, me is on Third place! this is my first time getting in the first three!!The last contest i had 13 votes but i forgot to delete the hostile creeps, otherwise i would have won the contest and got first place.

 

[~Void~]

Wait for the judging.

 

[HFR]

Right, the poll is only 25% of the rating and Dickwand's vote doesn't count.

 

[Oziris]

Can 2 or 3 judges vote for the same person? and i know Dickwand's vote dont count.
So you can say that Raid1000 can lose if for an example a judge votes for me?

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

I wonder why so many voted for Oziris' work, not saying that it sucks, but it has many flaws and it isn't polished to the maximum.

Here is some examples that could have been fixed:

Lol hai thar!

PS. There is nothing in the sky.. Normal sky box by Blizzard :/

 

[Gilles]

A lot of people don't see those things. Not everyone knows how to critique a terrain, and just look at it like a picture.

 

[frostwhisper]

Which is precisely how they should view it.

 

[Linaze]

You vote for the one you think looks best, end of discussion.

Unless you're bribed, bwahaha...

 

[Oziris]

Unless you're bribed, bwahaha...

You go Linaze! that's the best answer!

 

[HFR]

Well, I guess the Judges will chose the most detailed, well made and relationed to the theme.

 

[Belgarath]

I'm inclined to agree with xerex here, and then frost, too. When you judge it as a terrain, it's average. When you judge it as a picture, same thing. : WHERETHEFUCKISTHELINEKEYONTHISKEYBOARD?
BUT I don't want to start more drama so I think I'll just go kill myself right now

HFR, Gilles goes very easy on theme. Usually people do. >___>

Also pyritie, no, hell no, especially not in a terrain contest

 

[HFR]

I go hard in the theme. It's a Ancient Mythologic contest, so the terrains must have mythological elements, like ArticInferno's "orb".

 

[Gilles]

HFR, Gilles goes very easy on theme. Usually people do. >___>

That's usually because people do a good job on the theme/the theme is easy to follow. This one is a little different, and I would probably give lower scores to people.

Again... am I judging? I have no confirmation from Void. He should definitely be the judge, but if he wants more, I'm willing of course.

 

[HFR]

Wow, you're judging or not? Only time can tell...

 

[frostwhisper]

I think you're judging too. Void and I already judged, but three judges would be much better.

 

[Belgarath]

Yes. You're judging. Naow!

 

[Gilles]

Oh... okay. Tomorrow.

 

[Belgarath]

Belgarath is satisfied.

 

[Wolfhelm]

I +Rep first person who can point out Rockin Arthas in my pic. xD
I guess nobody noticed yet...

 

[Nbah]

He's at the top right corner.

 

[raid1000]

again i must say that the theme we chosen by the terrain contest poll turn out to be not just mythology but ancient history as well
so i can say my hanging gardens gets 5 points because its ancient history xD gg
correct me if im wrong

 

[Eleandor]

Lots of these have very little to do with ancient mythology... Some of them are awesome terrains though, but I'm not voting them cause it doesn't fit the theme well enough.

Vote cast on Raid whose lighting could slightly be improved (I personally think the hanging gardens will look so much better at daylight) but looks awesome either way. The theme isn't perfectly mythological either, but still close enough. Closer than some others...

The seven wonders still have this mythological feeling to them.

 

[raid1000]

lolz 20 votes above the best before me...
overkill! but it may not count for nothing

 

[Anachron]

Raid, but your terrain was awful on background and scars. The only good thing is that you spend much time in it. I don't think you deserve the first place :/

 

[raid1000]

Raid, but your terrain was awful on background and scars. The only good thing is that you spend much time in it. I don't think you deserve the first place :/

ye its kinda meh if i look at it now :/ but hell i finished it like 3 days after the contest started then never updated it again xD
im more than certain that Keiji will win this contest if i dont win it

 

[Just_Spectating]

People just vote nonsense.

 

[raid1000]

ye many of them just look at the one with most votes like mine and when they see my "above average" terrain they go holy shit i vote for you!

 

[Pyritie]

Now you know why we're making public polls count for less.

Megafyr`s was the best, even if all of them was good so was Megafyrs the best
No more to say

 

[~Void~]

ye its kinda meh if i look at it now :/ but hell i finished it like 3 days after the contest started then never updated it again xD
im more than certain that Keiji will win this contest if i dont win it

Keiji won the judging. He'll probably get second.

 

[frostwhisper]

Does this mean Gilles already submitted his judgment?

 

[Gilles]

Done, and sent. I forgot that Void changed the judging to a simple /100. Makes it really fast, but I think the old way was better.

 

[Pyritie]

Blargh, send it to me to do the calculations. I could do with the practice.

 

[frostwhisper]

Nuuu D:
Void will do them.

 

[Pyritie]

Lol, void got this wrong too

 

[Gilles]

Yeah don't let Void.
Py or myself can do them.

 

[frostwhisper]

Then Gilles will do them.

 

[~Void~]

Yeah don't let Void.
Py or myself can do them.

No way I'm up for calculations on 4/20.

 

[FamousPker49]

You don't have to pretend like you are actually celebrating this fine green holidae.

 

[Oziris]

Omg, wtf people? someone voted for me and his name is Barney and he has 0 posts?!??!?! Why is someone trying to ban me even doe i will lose the contest anyway?

 

[Just_Spectating]

we really need to do the +100 posts voting rule.

 

[Belgarath]

i made 50 double accounts to vote for you oziris now you're gonna lose fa sho since i used your ip too >

 

[Oziris]

You can see that those users dont have the same IP as me. I hope the 0 posters dont count.

 

[Belgarath]

well since he joined TODAY, I dont think so

 

[HFR]

This is strange... First Dickwand and them "Barney"...
It's a conspiracy....

 

[ArcticInferno]

You can see that those users dont have the same IP as me. I hope the 0 posters dont count.

They certainly won't. Only users that had registered in the past month's votes will count.

 

[Barney]

This is strange... First Dickwand and them "Barney"...
It's a conspiracy....

Yeah... Weird right?

 

[Wolfhelm]

I got to say about the judging, Ancient Mythology is imaginary these places do not really exist - they are mostly described in writing, and in many cases the accounts of what these places look like varry on the author.
It is then up to the artist to create somthing from imagination that represents the idea's of the myth.

If you google Valhalla there are many diffrent images they are not all the same - because the artist interprets the myth in many ways.

Pluss in the first post of the contest thread you put a picture of a epic castle... do you not consider that Ancient Mythology? If not why did you post it, that would be miss-leading.

So giving people low scores based on the "theme" in this case seems to go against the very thing mythology is - make belive and therfor is whatever the artist imagine.

There are many storys of epic castles, buildings, fortress' throughout mythology. What they might look like depends largly on the artist depiction.

 

[HFR]

Right, but just make a old thing, like greek ruins or Japanese castles isn't mythologic. But making the Olympus or a ancient orb is.
