Micro Madness 2014 / Micro Madness 2014 General Information & Discussion

Im gonna post a screen of my entry, Because im HTC........

The official rule says that "Competition work is not to be found in public view" and Louis later said that "PMs are not public" therefore, PMs are ok. Liam is still trying to discourage that, because they're not really in the spirit of the competition, but they are still completely legal, as far as I understand.

Just enjoy the contest guys.

Wow, I nearly finished and I accidentally snapped my LL disk... Don't really know what to do right now.

You can always buy it on gog.com it's like 3 dollars there

There are no-CD cracks, depending on your version. You just back up your old .EXE somewhere and then overwrite it in the program folder.

reserves sounds good! 

Poke, check Posix's LL guide in ask the experts, there is no CD info in there.

Are invisible and hidden shops, stalls and restrooms allowed outside the 225 tiles?

The question you have to ask yourself is, are these shops for the micro? will they add anything to the micro? Or are they just used to keep guests happy as they travel to your micro from the edge of the map?

If it's the latter, it's fine, but perhaps make it obvious by naming that they are for that purpose. If they are adding anything to the actual micro then they should count.

We aren't going to be mean and disqualify someone cause they've gone over the limit by a couple of tiles, we aren't heartless. But there comes a point where people start to take liberties, we could just turn around and say everything has to be within those tiles, but we aren't, we are allowing certain things to be exempt, but you need to make decisions yourself.

If you feel guilty about doing something, you are most likely bending the rules and therefore shouldn't do it, but if you think you are doing something fine, either carry on or ask for clarification.

(That was aimed at everyone not just manual)

I asked because I wasn't sure if "keeping guests happy" counted as something that was "for the micro". I guess it doesn't, so thanks for clarifying.

Are windows like this allowed on the edge? They are basically on the tiles next to the edge, so is that a problem?

 

No worries manual, I wasn't complaining at you

And Faas that's fine

Thanks for the quick reply, don't be afraid to take some time for yourself Louis . 

so just to make this clear to me: I submit the first round park by using the normal "add park" option and give it a name and add MM2014 Round 1 at the end of that, correct? so there is no special place to upload the park?

 

I am excited guys

Yes, just make sure it is sent in as 'non-competitive'. 

raise your hand if you haven't started yet

*puts hand in crotch*

If I add one that says Round 0, will people yell at me?

Will there be awards? I'd be interested in seeing what people thought was the "best woody", "best idea", "best park", etc of the competition.
