Where be Linkizcool?

Even though this wasn't a rule, I admit I cheated. I darkened the image with Ultimate Paint. I was going to put in a lot of shadows like MrMister was thinking. I did not use any coding, but it was still stupid. So in other words...I personally believe I cheated, even though there wasn't a rule.

Meis, if I were you, I'd put in a no image editing rule or something. I can even help you make some rules if you want. You should know I'm good at cheating and finding ways around stuff.

MrMister, no where in the rules does it say make a beach. That would be like someone making an F-16 that flies for a sand-castle contest, and having it lose to a kid with a pale because it wasn't a castle. Unless there was a written rule saying make a castle, he would not have had to make a castle and you know it.

Am I saying I should've got a higher score?
No

Am I saying change your decision?
No

Just...I'll stand by your decision anyway. I mean you gave my map your time of day anyway. If you took the time to read this, that's not like you...

I respect the judges descisions. They're taking the time to do this. You're not. This is supposed to be fun remember? If you worry about winning a mapping contest or getting something from Meiscool, you need a life.

Shut up and be patient.

I didn't say you 'have' to make a beach chipset, he just lost points because of it.
Douché.

Linkforce: Wow dude. The center of it is great. The building, boxes, trees, guy sweeping. All awesome. I was thinking: "If the entire map looks like that, he wins". Then I saw the rest. In my opnion, there was to much water. If you made some rocks, a pier, cliff, really anything, it would've made the overall look a lot better.

Thanks.  I'll try and fill up those empty spaces next time.  ^^'  Glad you wrote a review that elaborated more then "you suck."

Hey, I got tied up on the weekend. I'll add my judging to this post, even though it might be a little late.

Here:
ZKX: Nice use of grass, and the detaling is nice, but not really very complex with the water. That would be what I would work on., adding some water overlays and all.

Glitch; First of all, the maps a little big. Plus it's a little spread out, and not superbly detailed. Again, thats what I would work on.

Robotam: Very nice use of cliffs and water, but a little more grass on the cliffs would have been nice.

Aboutaso: Contrary to most of the previous maps, I think this was a little over-detailed. Not bad, but the middle top looks a bit crowded.

Linkforce: There was a little too much water around the island, which means not too much room for detailing. Nice idea, but it doesn't work too well when you have to use a small map.

TJJackson: I like this map. It has a nice feeling to it, no too crowded and not to detailed. The only thing I object is that the chars are RTP...

Darelitto: The cliffs look kinda weird, like its flat then the little bit at the end. It kinda looks random, and not very realistic. Not bad otherwise.

Krynth: A little open, but nice idea. The sea could use a little more in it. I like the cliffs on either side.

Lucas_Irineu: Nice map, i like it, but it kinda looks a bit random. RTP chars, and soem detalis in random spots but not others.

Archem: I like the house and eerything, but it looks a bit bland. you could have curved the path a little bit.

Anyway, I have to go so I'll leave the winner and runnerup judging for tommorow..which is now today...

The winner is...







TjJackson









the runner up is...









Robotam.


Good job you guys!

[Robotam Plus]

Good job, judges.
First place on one, second on another and on Mister's list I'm not too sure. I'm just trying to figure out if I won here.
...Sorry about the flag btw, lets just say it's a living flag. :p

[Archem]

Nedz moar contest.

[Meiscool-2]

Alright. Because Robotam recieved high votes on us all, I'm giving this contest to him. Second place goes to two people, TjJackson and ZKX. ZKX got 'good' ratings by me and MrMister, and Linkizcool seemed to like it. TjJackson got a 'great' rating by Linkizcool and a 'good' rating by me, which was only messed up by MrMister's 'poor' rating. One Poor, One Great, and One Good adds up to three goods.

Great job guys. Really great turnout. I'll post the next competition soon.

Also, for the future, DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE JUDGES. If a judge feels that a beach chipset should be used to make a beach and not a desert, then that is his choice. When you make something for other people to judge, normally, if you want to win, you make something that pleases the judges and not yourself. So, remember what I like, what Linkizcool likes, and what MrMister likes. You could make a fine map, but if we don't like it, you don't win :p

If people really want me to, I'll post a list of what each person likes and dislikes in maps, so you have guidelines. I'll post the next contest by the end of the day. Hope you'll all enter again!

Also, Robotam, PM me if you do or don't want the reward for winning. I lost all my RPG Makeing stuff to a computer wipe, so I don't have a lot to offer, but maybe I can find something...

It is now open. Feel free to enter it
