[Revolve]

Think I will not join this contest, not really my style.

But good luck to all attenders, the theme is interesting and this should provide some memorable terrains!

Belgarath.

[Oziris]

One more month. God, and i'm almost finished.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i can't get a good idea


but goblin factory is going to be a popular one.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Correction: Goblin factory will be the only one.

 

[raid1000]

mah goblin factory terrain would have been the perfect thing for this contest
if you want the cog models i used in mah terrain ask Pyramidhe@d
he made them

 

[Oziris]

I'm not making a goblin factory. I'm making something more original )))

 

[chilla_killa]

Me, too ^^

 

[Celaquil]

And I am still debating on wether to join or not >.>

 

[Wraithling]

Just sit back, enjoy your new status, and watch the rest of us slug it out while giving out some commentaries now and then :]

[Celaquil]

[Restor]

steampunk is very hard theme, despite Warcraft is full of steampunk

 

[chilla_killa]

Yes, and even more, if you've never heard about steampunk before, but it seems to be a very interesting theme.
Good, that we have so much time.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

wow i havn't been in a contest since the 3rd one....

i should really join this one =/

 

[The-Rave]

i've some problem:
1. i'm new
2. i'm poor
3. my computer cannot use high res
4. doesn't know manipulating lightning
5. i don't really know what is steampunk

by the way, here my WIP, using UTM and project ODIN model (anarchianbedlam)

 

[Belgarath]

It seems as though some people started their terrain BEFORE the contest started *cough* Oziris *cough*. I'm just saying: it's against the contest rules.

 

[Megafyr]

I have fall break next week – so be prepaired for some wip's coming.

 

[The-Rave]

It seems as though some people started their terrain BEFORE the contest started *cough* Oziris *cough*. I'm just saying: it's against the contest rules.

who did that?

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i thought the contest started already ?

 

[Oziris]

It seems as though some people started their terrain BEFORE the contest started *cough* Oziris *cough*. I'm just saying: it's against the contest rules.

It seems ''Arcany'' made the contest a month ago. I started working when the contest started back then. So.... no. I didn't break the rules. I tough the dead line would be the same. But it seems Keiji made it a month longer.

 

[Palaslayer]

oO

the contest started this week omg. the thread existed only in submission forum.

 

[Oziris]

I tough that the thread would be official when the new mod came and that the dead line would be the same. What part of this didn't you understand? -.-

 

[Celaquil]

A contest doesnt officially start before a moderator either approves the contest or it is hosted BY the moderator. Thus; yes it is against the rules. Still, as it isnt too much of a problem, at least not in my eyes; I will turn a blind eye to it. However, if the majority of the people is against the somewhat rule-break then I cannot approve of it, I'm sorry..

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Wait, Oziris can still participate in these contests? Or am I thinking of someone else who got banned from contests? I tend to forget these things, unfortunatly.

 

[Kwah]

I'm going to try.

 

[Arcany]

I don't really see the problem. Oziris started his terrain while it was in submisson, not before it got even posted; and besides, everyone could make a terrain while the contest is still in submisson and then post it after the contest is hosted without anyone even knowing this.

Publicly comitting this might not have been the smartest move, but as he made his terrain for this contest I don't see why not allow it.

 

[Revolve]

Indeed, Oziris made it by accident (What I have understood), and should not be banned for that. Besides, I don't think it matter that mch anyway. I really don't think he would spend the whole month doing a terrain.

 

[Oziris]

Finally someone understood me!
I was like making my terrain a day or two, and i still didn't touch it from that day. What Arcany said

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Yawn. Still against the rules. Start over. Otherwise it still means you had a month more to finish.

 

[Linaze]

Meh, saying you didn't know the fucking rules isn't really an acceptable excuse.

 

[Revolve]

I think he know the rules, by he just didn't notice that one line that said when the competition would start.

Let's just see by a blind eye by this. He won't get much with one or two days anyway.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

i got banned from the SEcond contest, cause i was being an asshole like kanye west.

 

[Belgarath]

I'm really happy for you and I'll let you finish, but childeric made one of the best terrains of all time?

Most people work on terrains in short, hard bursts, so one or two days is pretty much done, depending on how long the bursts were.

 

[MultiGod]

i've some problem:
1. i'm new
2. i'm poor
3. my computer cannot use high res
4. doesn't know manipulating lightning
5. i don't really know what is steampunk

IMO, steampunk is a combination of huge and small fcking machines and devices to make a cooler one. Go GOOGLE or WIKIPEDIA the word 'steampunk'

 

[Dentothor]

meh too many pro people here. plus, i keep lookin at my WIPs and they fail. so imma droppin out. good luck to all!

 

[The-Rave]

IMO, steampunk is a combination of huge and small fcking machines and devices to make a cooler one. Go GOOGLE or WIKIPEDIA the word 'steampunk'

so, are mine is steampunk??

 

[MultiGod]

I said GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA it. I don't think it's steampunk IMO. Looks more like a dwarf factory.

 

[L2love]

Steampunk is just machine shit at the most i kinda hope for this contest that some1 makes a gear model or links one that would make this contest so much better.

 

[Belgarath]

Some inspiration may be found in the art contest with the theme of steampunk.

 

[Kwah]

Or, ye know. Google.
