el Competitione Thrẽad Officiale

Thanks for the comments yak :smile:

It's true, the layout is bad, and as for the couches, someone could hve put a spell on them :razz: /jking

anywayz, thanks for the comments, it helps alot.

Just been looking at how many downloads the competition maps have been getting and the average is about 70...except for Melee 3D which for some reason is well over 500? How so?!

I guess it might have been pimped on other websites? I doubt just by chance, loads of monkey island fans decended on the website and wanted a 3D version of their beloved melee island :smile:

My map only has 200 downloads as it already had a little over 100 on the alpha release, so Melee 3D is miles in the lead!

I'm quite surprised 86 people actually downloaded my crappy map. :smile:

Pfft, not even 100 downloads for my entry. I think I'm doomed. :smile:

at least your map didn't get torn to shreds campaign :razz:

http://www.scummbar.com/ seems to be responsible for a couple of hundred hits...

Don't be that way! I was only giving my honest opinion. I... I'm sorry if I hurt you... cries

So when do we get to start voting then? Are we voting or is there a panel of judges this time round? :smile:

Now, raa! And it's just me judging this time, unless Gwil wants to give me some thoughts :smile:

wait so ARE we voting or not? lol

yak no problem :razz: It just hurt hehehe

well i think this page answers your question

I was waiting for the voting to start, but now it has, I'm finding it really tricky to choose what to vote for :rolleyes:

As before, there'll be two ways in which the maps are marked- I'll run round & review them and award a prize to the best, and you, the unwashed public, will select your favourite (with prize of... popularity.)

Right now it looks like we can vote for our own maps..?! Is that, er, by design? (I haven't voted so I don't know whether it'll block me after submitting or something. )

Can visitors vote ? (non-registered sp members ?) Because that could be ... I dunno.

Nope, they can't, if you log out, then vote, after you click the vote button, the maps you have voted for have not been voted for.

Now, raa! And it's just me judging this time, unless Gwil wants to give me some thoughts :smile:

Sure thing, but i'm working again tonight - free later on, tomorrow morning..

I'm up for having a good full critique of the maps.. give us a
note as to when the judging should be finished/ready by. I actually
have motivation now im not unemployed and depressed :razz:

It's great!

As an aside, I think it would be nice to have user reviews up in the not too distant future, as I am quite up for properly reviewing some of the entries :smile:

Yeah, I'd be up for doing user reviews somewhere/somehow, but in a more
organized fashion. Maybe a thread in the "Maps" forum, with each entry
getting a chapter? Or maybe Lep should code it directly into the
website! User reviews now! :smile:

Err, when is voting going to be closed, BTW?

I'd want to do reviews myself aswell, but I'm afraid I'd be run out of town with torches and pitchforks.

Hello?

Lep would notice so it doesn't matter. Besides I don't think anyone is going to vote for their own map.

This isn't the Eurovision Song Contest, of course you can vote for your own map. Presumably all/most of the entrants will anyway so it doesn't matter. Oh, and I'll be on the lookout for a sudden rush of new members voting...

Surely not? I know I didn't vote for my map, I don't think its very sporting to do so :sad:

i didnt vote for mine either.

i voted for pulse. haha.

and second....i forget. melee 3d

how much longer is the voting going to go on?

Until Lep finishes reviewing everything and decides on a winner... Right? :razz:

oh I see lol

score

/me goes back to NW

Reviewing is going a bit slowly, I have too much 'Real Life' stuff going on now and don't think I'll be able to get them all done until September. And I hate you all for submitting beta/buggy maps which I don't know if I should review or not :razz: Voting will go on for a few more days, and I'll try to figure out my own final descision today and post that at the same time as the voting results.

heheh my map WOULD be little or no buggy but its all reno's fault! /me points to reno wildly.

Cmon lep everyone is looking at you! Start reviewing! lol

Didn't vote for my own map either.

Take yer time, lep. It'll take at least another 2 months until we see a glimpse of HL2 in stores :razz:

2 months???! Na, im guessing september the 3rd.

2 months???! Na, im guessing september the 3rd.

Some gameshop here in belgium says the 15th of October ...

but don't get off-topic ... I don't want this to turn into a HL2 thread.

Is there any way to view the current results of the voting, Lep ? I'm
curious. (well, not about my map, but about the good ones :razz: )

It wouldn't make any sense to do that since you can change your vote. (That's not implying that it would be hard to do, especially with the current set up)

I figure that having a secret vote will be more fair...

I just cast my two votes, and I can say that I was overall very impressed by the high level the maps attained from this years entrants. I downloaded all of them and drew myself up a little chart in word and gave them /10 scores.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing who the winner is, and good luck to everyone who entered this years competition.

How much longer until the results are announced?

Also, are there any servers playing the maps at the moment - I never got a chance to jump onto Ferret's server as it was on week nights and those crazy Americans are behind us on time - so I was tucked up in bed by the time anyone was playing :sad:

Why are we crazy? You're the ones who are in the future.

Well Lep said something about September, so I guess that's when we'll
know. Bah, I bet Adam just wants to secure his prize in a hurry! :smile:

damn him and his prebuilt dm_pulse map. :razz:

ouch. my map has the third lowest download total, and is only 5 more than the killbox map... oh, success is so sweet :biggrin:

I laugh that Ghost of Evilspy's map has gotten more downloads than yours

yeah, I'm laughing too! hahaha haha ... ha ... er ...

grabs a shotgun and pulls a Cobain

You mean to tell me that people actually wasted bandwidth on the killbox? Good lord, it ought to have been automatically disqualified!

I will try to sort out my descision (along with a small description of each map) today if I can find some time, otherwise I'm going to be busy for the next week or so (but reviews will be done by the end of the month). There is quite a clear voting winner though that I'll announce at the same time..!

I've got to say Lep, that with 6 days off from running the Pit, I thought you may have gotten in a bit of reviewing time :biggrin: .

He's stalling! Get 'im!

It was all a set up so he could have a week of vacation

pulse or persia won :smile: ~ gogG~~ LOL~LO~L~L~O~L~Ofhuydsaklfahsdkl;h'fp
