Contest Judging And Voting

Judges:
To be decided
Judging Criteria:
The judging for this contest uses a "new" system. Since number-based criteria are very limiting, especially for art contests, the judge will instead determine a score out of 100 for each entry based on, well, how good it is. To make things easier on the judges, here are a few things to look at: Theme, Style, Originality/Concept, Execution, Atmosphere/Effect.
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.

Contestants List:

Belgarath · Mar 18, 2009

Good day.

What you're saying is that.. number systems are limited, is this why you're using a /100 score...?

I would be willing to judge, and I was wondering the same thing.

raid1000 · Mar 18, 2009

Thorneon · Mar 18, 2009

Sounds fine to me.

Luckerguy · Mar 18, 2009

Okay, count me in!

Ziggen · Mar 18, 2009

Dang! I was thinking of doing that, too. I guess I'll be doing the lost city of Atlantis, then.

Oziris · Mar 18, 2009

I think i will be doing Landscape of Greece.

Gausslander · Mar 18, 2009

I'm thinking Stone Henge.

No, using numbers in categories is limited. How the fuck do you accurately judge, in one category, how good something is?

FamousPker49 · Mar 18, 2009

So, then you are just going to do a one big chunk score?

~Void~ · Mar 19, 2009

I'm not, the judges are.

Mr.Goblin · Mar 19, 2009

hum if i'm in, i will probably do a sturcture or something that involves structures

(lawl)

for shure i will make something celtic..

Belgarath · Mar 19, 2009

Void the number chunks just make one big number chunk too. No real difference I suppose.

Celaquil · Mar 19, 2009

I like how everyone is telling what their going to terrain, and really. Many "original" ideas out there >.>

leet.firefox · Mar 19, 2009

I'm going to do something involving Icarus

Phoonix · Mar 19, 2009

i think i will try to Join. and i think i will try to make the Home of the Valkyrie. So that basically means i will be making an "Damn Epic castle on the top of a uber high Mountain witch is the home of the Valkyrie" oops did i spoil the surprise?

Kind Regards,
Yours Phoonix.

Luckerguy · Mar 19, 2009

I think i will do something about the olymp

~Void~ · Mar 19, 2009

I think I'll do something totally unexpected and totally awesome. Or at least one of those two, most likely the latter.

Damn you Phoonix, I was making the same thing!
Oh, well, I don't really care if we both make it, though.

Belgarath · Mar 20, 2009

I still think void should judge. As 'celebration' for the terrain mod status.

Thats the kind of way to put it!

As for me, I am pendling between two ideas. One I got from listening to you guys going on telling everyone what your making and one I've kind of made up myself. >.>

raid1000 · Mar 20, 2009

i wanna see some wips so i can steal some ideas >

Belgarath · Mar 20, 2009

After reading void's post. Do the first. Cough Outland, dalaran energy field, fissures Cough. That'd be extremely unexpected.

ArcticInferno · Mar 20, 2009

I should be trying out atlantis >_>

Oziris · Mar 20, 2009

I was thinking about that, but i am going to let you post your terrain first, becuase when you copy all the special stuff from the WIP's and put it together and make it look better, i will steal from yours combined terrain that you stoled from the other terrains!

muhahahahhahaahah

Owned.

CoBrA b · Mar 20, 2009

Well, I just hit a major roadblock. My terrain was almost at a point where I could post a preview of it when, guess what, my old computer, with all my (un-backed-up) World Editor files on it, died, just like that. I've taken it to a store so that they can at least recover the hard drive, and I just loaded Warcraft 3 onto my new computer. However, my old computer was a mac, and my new computer is a PC. Thus my new computer is unable to read files from my old computer, and now I have to 1) load TFT onto my computer, 2) download UTM, and 3) redo the whole f***ing thing. Basically, what I'm saying is, you'll probably not see or hear anything from me for a while.

(By the way, colored text owns.)

Deathcom3s · Mar 20, 2009

I think i'm gonna join, we'll see.

Megafyr · Mar 20, 2009

Are those high ress rocks allowed?

raid1000 · Mar 20, 2009

well void said in the contest sanctioned models thread that he would allow the use of them for this contest only but he might have changed his mind

anyways im not gonna use them in this contest

~Void~ · Mar 20, 2009

I did? Shit, now everyone's going to use them. How unoriginal.
