2006 NL Tournament (FINALS) - Results pg9

Contest's closed, Mikado didn't make it. dcs, I got your last resubmission just in time.

Ahh, Thats too bad. Well it looks like its up to Wingover, Smiley, and DCS. I cant wait for the results!

*note to self- 1000th post*

ffs, yes.. I went to Phantasialand yesterday and I hoped to be back around 9 pm. Due to some accident the traffic went very slow and we arrived arround 12 pm. Damn, I really hoped to get my track uploaded in time. [:(]

You can always upload it anyway.

My round 2 entry got rated down on CS for that. So much for the rates being better over there.

^ Same here, and in round 1 loads of them rated down for having the template going through the queue line. You just can't win with the CS n00bs.

your tracks gotta be really good cuz
a) it is a gg woodie
b) there is $$$ on the line!

when are we going to see/rate the tracks ourselves? or find out the results?

you can only rate them yourself if the 3 people in the competition decide to upload it to the exchange. Whether or not they decide to is up to them.

Oh, and im pretty darn sure that these 3 contenders know their rides must be good, money on the line or not. It's for the sake of competition that they built these, not because its GG or because they could make 50$

hahaha, better over there? Those people give the crappiest tracks ever straight tens! Too many n00bs on that site.

[hyyyper]

i think whoever is going to win will be donating the money to the site, at least i would

I would too, if I win. WWS needs the money much more than I do.

like this site doesnt do the same? geez, way to look at both sites instead of one. my coaster, vars, which totally blew balls, has a higher score over here than over there. same with my latest ride, asthenia, higher score over here.

Every one of my tracks i uploaded there got much higher then over here.

Lets not turn this into another CS discussion topic, we get more than enough of those. Back on topic, any idea when you might get time to start working on the ratings, cjd?

I've uploaded 10 screenies! I've intentionally omitted several really cool and innovative elements or layout ideas...guess you'll have to wait until I upload it!

Supports are the only major area that need to be finalized before uploading to the site. Especially with a highly time consuming class for half of the building period, there was just no time at all to make supports as good as I wanted. Onslaught's supports took around 2 weeks as a comparison.

Thus, I can't say when it'll be uploaded. I have almost no free time (40 calc2 problems for hw tonight... and that's around the average!) so it may take a week, 2 weeks, maybe more. However, someone may complete most of them leaving me to do some detail work here and there, so I may release earlier than the above timeframes. Not sure. Please be patient.

I hope everyone enjoys the screenshots! Any comments or questions are appreciated.

Well, if rating were a requirement here, I'm sure you'd find there are just as many if not more "n00bs" here.

its funny that mentioning the word 'coastersims.com' causes such a fuss... XD

haha, yeah. I never got why people get so uppity about it. It's just a matter of the site being run differently.

Dear dcs,

You tease!

I gotta say...dcs, that looks as good as or even better then onslaught imo. Looks awesome!!!

I'm starting on the ratings immediately. Tomorrow is my day off, so I'll have some time then also. I expect to post the final ratings very quickly this time, definitely before the end of the week. As always, no gurantees though. I'm working closing shifts all week... here is my schedule, which should give you an idea of when I have the most time.

Today - 11am to 11:30pm
Tomorrow - Day off
Thursday - 11am to 11:30 pm
Friday - 1pm to 11:30 pm
Saturday - 10am to 12:30 pm
Sunday - 12pm to 11:30 pm

So, most likely either tomorrow or Friday night.

Sounds good, I look forward to hearing from you whenever you can finish them.

That looks amazing dcs!!!! The prelift segment looks great, as does the drop, but it's your tease of the ending that really looks great. I would love a Voyage style ending in NL as it is certainly not easy to do. I definately look forward to getting a better look at this one.[approve]

Thanks pdonahue. About the ending... though it has it's similarities, and it's definately GG style, it's not exactly Voyage style. I made sure to make the ending as original as possible while retaining Gravity Group's best features; speed, airtime, and laterals, instead of just copying Voyage's ending (or the ride as a whole) and switching element order or something like that. What I like about the ending is in addition to the above features, it also has some surprises in store for the rider that I've designed to be quite thrilling.

I appreciate the positive feedback! Thank you.

hmm, though it's relevant here, I think I'll make a hard hat area topic to show progress and all that soon.
