Staredit Network -> Terrain -> Hall of Fame Voting

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rantent on 2006-09-12 at 21:06:00

Ok, so I guess were going to do this whole voting things for the hall of fame, which means that we'll need a place to vote.

First order of business though, DEAD, you said you disapproved the merge between HoF and the Ladder on grounds that the thread is too big.. I don't really want the pinned topic area to get too large, so I dunno..
Personally I see the first post in that thread as huge no matter what, so meh.

I believe that they should be merged but like really merged. Having just ladder instead of having ladder and hall of fame. Besides the HoF is just random 'good' pieces trown together.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rantent on 2006-09-13 at 13:52:26

Hmm, well the point of the hall of fame is to credit single images of terrain, wheras the ladder is to credit the terrainer as a whole. If someone makes a whole bunch of ugly images, and one stunning one, they would get the one in the HoF but would be low in the ladder.

Does anyone else think that my ladder spot is too low? Look at some of the higher ones.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Gigins on 2006-09-13 at 17:23:43

I don't understand how really the ladder works. Like I entered with few my good pieces and was like #1. Then someone adds a new piece and he get's boosted up. Bah, how does it work?

Ladder = Whatever woodenfire thinks it should be, for the most part.

I suppose I'll be the first to nominate some stuff.

Last three should be sent to image shack before admittance into HoF, if they are.. Your votes?

I love the first 2, the others are more or less effects than terrain, though.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Gigins on 2006-09-14 at 07:53:13

1 - no. It looks really good, but it's just isom with some doodads.
2 - Yes please. It's awesome.
3 - Where the terrain? It's just sprites lol. (no)
4 - I don't understand it. Please show me the source of it, like a map or something. (no?/yes?)
5 - No, it's just pylon sprites with a dark swarm. 2 or less minutes to make it?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Rantent on 2006-09-14 at 12:50:44

Ok, so 2 it is.

Stupid attachment error.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Gigins on 2006-09-14 at 14:09:43

OK, I just checked the 4th, nothing special. It doesn't involve any terrain skill at all. Traps do all the job...

Water goes to dirt in iceworld, not ice. That's all custom.

My bad for not knowing ice to well.

Then sure, it's HoF worth.

Only a select few get to decide what goes in the hall of fame? DEAD, that's elitism! [/mean person]

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Gigins on 2006-09-14 at 17:52:48

I knew you'll end up telling me that.

Well on the other hand having certain people moderate others is also elitism?

Nah, we're just doing the thing Beer used to do.

Having names is elitism, the best ones get chosen first.

It was elitism before, when it was simply whoever beer decided to let in.

Ok to satisfy moose, please don't add author when nominating something lol.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Mini Moose 2707 on 2006-09-21 at 22:36:25

I said something about authors? Anyway, I was being sarcastic.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Gigins on 2006-09-28 at 11:01:56

I know, I was too.

ADDITION:
The "Terrain tips and tricks" seems kinda useless. Maybe we should unpin it due the large number of pinned topics. It has lots of stuff that is in the visual effect list already.
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=10722

"When posting terrain - README", who is actually reading this. And more important, who is actually posting terrain without screenshots? Let's unpin it.
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=12027

"What is "Blocky"", blocky is blocky lol. But really, we don't need to answer each stupid question with a pinned thread. Let's unpin this.
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=14676

We really should take the effort and screenshot all the visual effects listed here. And add small images to each one of them. I had this idea some time ago but I was to lazy to do it alone, we are 3 now. Maybe let's do something good today?

http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=15368

Instead of these pinned topics we should write a small paragraph of terrain rules and guidelines and ask moose to set them as forum rules here. Also I find these (U) wikis very very helpful so we should have them in the rules as well.

Also about the hall of fame. I know it would be kinda lame to nominate myself but have you noticed that HoF has no exceptional badlands terrain.

I've never really looked at it.

QUOTE

"When posting terrain - README"

I read it.

QUOTE

"What is "Blocky"

Hmm... I know it sounds simple, but many people have different visions of blocky. I know because I've seen many pictures which some people just accept, and I can pinpoint such minor things in it and disregard it as ugly. (I critiqued woodenfires stuff quite a bit before he actualy got to doing it himself.)

QUOTE

Everyones had this idea. Maybe if we posted a raffle or something, where anyone who gave us an image we needed got 100 minerals or something. (I can't afford something like that, but it would be fun)

And I thought we agreed upon the idea that images had to be nominated by others, but even I couldn't say no to the second image.

We could redo the whole image thread on the weekend, maybe...

Now that's mayor idea.

I could afford to pay about 20 minerals per image. I will post a topic and offer minerals for images, but they will have to be in certain format.

Hmm all attachments are broken and even if they would work, HoF is still a mess. We should do something about it.
