    I can't see those vote codes. Where can I find them?
    Looked for them in the ZIP and in the park message thingy itself.

    I also don't really know what those are for?! lol

    ^Dave, you have to download the parks when you're logged in. There's a different code for every member to cut down on fake votes. I didn't understand it either, so I talked to Posix on AIM about the exact same thing. Yes, there's literally a different park file with a different code for every single person voting.

    @Levis

    Alright, I understand that now and retract that statement.

    ^lol that's a bit much trouble just for H2h in my opinion, but meh.
    I thought the system was good as it was in H2H4. The best park wins anyways. This way there are way too few votes I think.

    Thanks for helping me out, G!

    Sorry we waste our time trying to bring you the fairest contest possible. Look at the response this got, it has nothing to do with the votes, just add 10 to Elementalists and 10 to Hurricanes and you have your "more votes."

    How dare us make sure people actually open the parks before voting. And don't sit there and tell me people didn't vote based on screenshots or overviews in past Head-2-Head contests..

    Next time posix and I will be sure to just cheat everybody out of being fair so it's more convenient for you.

    Sure it's fair, but IMO it's a bit complicated to vote, but now got it.
    Why are there two codes?
    Because you need to watch both parks to vote, right?

    voted, btw.

    EDIT: About the parks:

    Art of War:
    First off, an awesome bunch of parks to start off H2H! The overview of both parks look absolutely brilliant. Art of War was just what I expected from the Elementalists team. Really nice hacks and cool ideas. I loved the bomb and tank-dropping as well as the trebuchet thingy. The ideas were really nice. I loved the details, the hiroshima ruins, the camp in front of the castle or the trenches also the chess game was a nice touch. Really nice. What I didn't like was the castle itself. Wasn't really fond of the structure. I also didn't like the trackiture roofing at the naval warfare ride. Sometimes I had the feeling that the park was a bit too much like the time machine from X250, especially the world war 2 area. Oh and I think I know both builders in that one ^^

    World Showcase:
    Also really nice work. Although the concept is a bit old, it was really nicely done. It may be a bit crammed, but there were ideas all over the place. I liked all the diverse themes in this one. Each country has its own identity and rides. Pretty awesome. I loved all the rides, especially the log flume, the virgina reel and also the two slower rides. The park reminded me a bit of my own stuff. haha. The only thing I didn't like were parts of the architecture (in the Australian area) and maybe a second file version without the fireworks would have been a good idea. Oh and I also know both builders here ^^ It was a typical realism vs fantasy matchup and I think we shouldn't catagorize those parks in these two 'branches'...

    btw i cant vote. it says the code is invalid


    To everyone having problems entering the code. Open both paths, write down which code goes to which park and make sure to enter them both into the right box.

    If you re-download a park for some reason, the new code you get is the one you need to use, the system always goes off of the most current code from your most recent download.

    Dave - yes as when it comes to LL V RCT2 then those without LL can't just vote for the RCT2 park. If you dont have LL, you dont vote. Plus it means you have viewed both parks

  • misterthom%s's Photo
    lol finally found out how to vote, well done btw. I first thought you only had to fill in the code for the one you're voting for
  • ][ntamin22%s's Photo
    if nothing else its a good try at a fair and reasonable voting system, and should it be deemed clunky and unbearable we can always ditch it for the next h2h ;]

    personally I think its a fantastic idea and by no means too much too ask that people don't vote on overviews- There'll be so much more in-game I don't know why you wouldn't want to open the parks anyway.

    However, it would probably help if for future matches a detailed explanation were posted with the first post on how to vote- the blurb up there now does sound like you only need to enter the one you're voting for.

    OLE, that's why i changed my original post. i didn't mean for it to sound like a moral issue or an attack on your team. when i used the term celebrate, i was thinking along the lines of excitement and fun that comes with being at a theme park, just like at a celebration. after re-reading it i realize that was a very wrong word choice, particularly for how i wanted it to sound. that's exactly why i edited my post, and it seems as though you didn't bother to go back and re-read it.

    whatever, you guys can take my opinion how you want. i wasn't trying to attack your team or your park, which for the last time was very well-done, nor was i trying to promote mine (Evil WME). the areas that went a little too far for me were the graveyard/D-Day areas. the rest were fine with me. but i'm just going to shut up now. i can't seem to represent well with words, so i'll do so with my work.

    I didn't find this hard at all. A spaceman? Frozen? On top of a shop? Got my vote.

    btw Turtle, that is the most hilarious thing i've read in a long time. props for that

    Why hasn't anyone said the obvious,

    the top of the Taj Mahal is buttfucking ugly.

    I think this is the first time I'm gonna not vote because I really have no idea. It's too close for me and I don't want to decide off a preference for realism.
    Both parks were really great and and a good start to the the competition.
  • tracidEdge%s's Photo
    This 'vote code' bullshit is entirely unnecessary.
  • Levis%s's Photo
    well it ensures at least people how have rct2/ll installed only vote on the parks ;) . I expect you can install the game again so you can vote and start helping in the discussion also :p .

    I think the vote code is great,and its not as if it takes much effort on our part
  • Buckeye Becky%s's Photo
    I don't know what I am doing wrong but I cannot vote.

    I downloaded both parks, looked them over, came online to vote and that is when I realized there was some kind of vote code I was supposed to have. I opened those parks back up and there was no vote code in the message? So, I downloaded the parks again and opened them both back up and there still isn't a vote code in the message...so anyhoo, I would like to figure this out because I probably will be one of the few that can look at the LL matchups and I'd like to be able to vote...so if someone could explain this to me??

    I do think its a good idea to do this, I just need someone to help me figure it out...and for what it is worth, I would have voted for the Hurricanes park.

    Make sure your logged in when you DL them. I hope you get it to work, every vote helps :)

    In the rules topic there is an explanation of to vote on the parks.
