Renovations Voting V2 - Hope for Sphinxa's Great Grandma Edition - Developers

DQ Tacoo and give £25 each to the top two entries? Were you thinking something like that?

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;29590124]When i join a mapping comp, it's not so that i get votes. It's so i can map within certain boundaries and challenge myself. If i don't release anything, then it's not time lost, but more content i can add to a portfolio of my work. It is frankly a bit cheap to vote for yourself, and in my opinions, votes for yourself should not be counted towards the final tally. However, all this is currently overshadowed by the fact that someone might be doing a George Bush on the votes. I don't see the point of Tacooo's at all. I don't see that he has followed the theme, or produced anything that looks good. To me it looks like a jumble of themes, mixed into one, then dumped out in hammer. I would like to hear the opinions of the people who have voted for his, to find out why they voted for him. But, although people are glad to say why they voted for others, the voters of tacooo's are suspiciously quiet. If anything, hawkeye hawk has won something out of this...my respect to a fellow mapper. Which, as people know, that is quite a rare thing. He created something that was on theme, visually interesting, and he didn't vote for himself. And, at the end of the day, what is more awesome than a rocket in a lighthouse?[/QUOTE] Wow thanks dude! I know I do not post that often here (4 years of stalking the forums ftw!), but I really think that I am a part of the community. I have respect for most mappers here, and I love to see that the mappers in here are getting better and better. But I have always been a passive mapper, and getting this friendly feedback is really awesome for me. I know that probably sounded stupid, but i do not give a single fuck.

I didn't expect to win this, but I did think I would get more than just 6% of the poll...

[QUOTE=Polaris-V2;29590786]Yeah. Do it.[/QUOTE] I'll talk with Gamedev about it when I get home from the office, also, next competition I'm going to make a map for it and just showcase it, as I believe like, none of you here have seen any full finished maps by me :frown: [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=salmonmarine;29590811]I didn't expect to win this, but I did think I would get more than just 6% of the poll...[/QUOTE] I voted you :unsmith:

Hawkeye Hawk fit the theme the best in my opinion because he renovated a lighthouse into a [I]mother fucking rocket silo.[/I] What's not to like?

[QUOTE=xeonmuffin;29591048]Hawkeye Hawk fit the theme the best in my opinion because he renovated a lighthouse into a [I]mother fucking rocket silo.[/I] What's not to like?[/QUOTE] The fact there wasn't two rockets in the silo :v:

sorry, ill put two rockets in my lighthouse next time, sphinxa

Can me and Sphinxa put our rockets into your silo? :smug:

Yeah, can Xeon and I put our dicks in your arse? am i doin it right?

[QUOTE=GameDev;29585058]Tacooo what did you do :colbert:[/QUOTE] I made 53 alts and voted for myself. [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] Wait so I'm getting DQ'd for having votes?

Those matters are yet to be discussed as it's obvious you've just asked people to vote for you, as the majority of people who voted for you don't frequent the mapping section...

I haven't asked anyone to vote but a few people have asked me what I was making in source I told them about the competition, but nothing about voting. If they took it into their own hands then thats not my fault.

I shall say no more...

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;29592922]Personally i was going for something more on rails... I shall say no more...[/QUOTE] Good, otherwise Firegod might get annoyed that a lot of people like the rail idea :v:

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;29592997]Good, otherwise Firegod might get annoyed that a lot of people like the rail idea :v:[/QUOTE] I thought black ice was one who was obsessed with rails...and trains...

I'm saying that Firegod is REALLY against the idea :v:

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;29593113]I'm saying that Firegod is REALLY against the idea :v:[/QUOTE] I'm massively for the idea. I'm assuming this will be like what happens when matter and antimatter get close... I like explosions...

I like arguments :downs:

I seriously dislike restricting it to rails, sure it might add a cinematic effect but I'd love the player to be able to use hammer and acting when recording to do it.

Imitate it with I/O's :v:

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;29593325]Imitate it with I/O's :v:[/QUOTE] Scripted sequences, i/o's, point_viewcontrol, the works :)

Maybe the next contest could focus not just on eyecandy?

Remember the 'worst map' contest?

I think I got mappers block still... [editline]3rd May 2011[/editline] (When I was participating in the shit map contest, I mean)

Next thread title should be "blah blah voting-Tacooo's allowed to enter but not win edition"

[QUOTE=sphinxa279;29593113]I'm saying that Firegod is REALLY against the idea :v:[/QUOTE] I'm not against it, I'm open to it, as long as we are not limited to it. Otherwise I am against it. Like I said, something like the trailer for super 8 valve made would be a perfect example that xenon posted.

Or failing that, Amitol?
