Micro Madness 2014 / [MM2014 R1] Louis! vs. Ling vs. thirteen

Don't have LL so I can't vote. Just looking at the overviews I would have voted Louis' entry as #1...

It wouldn't let me. Oh well. Based on the two I was able to open, I liked Ling's park the most.

I don't have the patch, that's what's wrong. I'll try to install it. 

Louis, your entry looks incredible. The other two look great as well, though I've yet to see thirteen's in-game. Can't vote but based in the overviews Id likely lean towards the LL side.

I can't install the patch. Probably because the only RCT1/LL version that works on my pc is the one I downloaded from a torrent. Shame on me, I know, but I have tons of not working original versions, so Chris Sawyer got my money all right. Shame I can't vote, looks like an interesting match up. 

FOR GODS SAKE FAAS. GIVE CHRIS SAWYER MORE OF YOUR MONEY!

I forgot to read your first post Louis, BUT I have downloaded the entries afterwards and viewed them in-game after I voted and I stand by my voting decisions.. (I still think it doesn't make too much of a difference between voting from overview or in-game tho as the entries are so small)..

 

Close call between Louis and Ling, but I liked the coaster and overall atmosphere in Louis' entry a bit more.

Thirteen's was a bit too chaotic and scattered for my taste.

Can't vote, no LL but I really like Thirteens park and would vote for him

 

Edit: Why isn't there a flag besides my name? :c

Thanks for the comments guys! I dont have LL and never did, so I viewed the overviews of the two entrys from my opponents and got to say: great work guys! obviously I wont vote on this one for many reasons.

 

I am kind of not sure if thats a fair round though. Dont get me wrong here. I mean most of the people cant open the parks (and dont vote), and the guys who have played LL and who CAN may have a favour for LL parks/be biased and MAY rate them higher, because they are more difficult in execution.  I am just thinking aloud, I never played LL, but I doubt the comparability of these entries.

 

I mean 3 guys would have voted for my park, but cant because they dont have LL: Atomik, where_walto and Version1.

 

Maybe strict LL rounds are a option for the next rounds?

I'm on vacation and can't download these yet. How long will the voting stay open? I really wanna check these out and vote.

I think Louis' is a sweet little design. You did a really nice job packing such an immersive theme into the micro map. I sat there and watched it for a good chunk of time. Clear #1.

 

For #2, I gave the nod to thirteen despite neither catching my eye all that well. For me, MM is about packing as much fun into the tiny map as you can, and thirteen's entry was just slightly more fun, and overall more interesting.

Walto didn't give comments on the other parks, and thus you can't come to that conclusion, same as Version1.

Plus, many of the others who can't vote have also stated that they would've voted for Ling or myself.

 

It's not any more unfair by not allowing these votes than it would be to allow these votes. However, we consider it a big issue if people vote when they don't have LL as these people wouldn't have seen 2 out of the 3 entries in game.

 

We understand it is annoying only getting very few votes, but it's the way it has to be to ensure people have viewed the entries in game, and are not judging content solely on a screenshot.

3 days.

Louis, that wasnt my main point. I totally agree with that rule! You have to see the parks ingame. I was just suggesting, that the general situation of LL parks competing against a rct 2 park is awkward. Because LL is such a different (and more difficult, i agree!) canvas to work with and therefore parks tend be more likely to impress. or am I wrong here?

Well, the situation of an LL park going up against an RCT2 park I don't see a problem with, they may be 2 different games, but I think in a contest environment there is no real problem.

 

Plus, we don't really have any control over who builds what in this contest. I built LL this time, but next time I may build RCT2.

I am having the same problem with Louis's park-invalid data

Again, you will need to apply the drexler patch. This is a standard thing to do, for pretty much every park at this site you will need the drexler patch applied to enable you to open anything.

Um, wow, Louis' entry the best of the entire round1 so far? that was outstanding dude..

Um, wow, thanks Gee always means so much coming from you, not only as a fellow player, but as a friend too

2 days left to vote!

Ling

Lovely LL entry. Nothing too impressive, but still a lovely little micro. I possibly wouldn't have run the reverser coaster through the entire entry, it took away from some of the architecture and landscape, but no one ever builds a reverser coaster, so props to that. I know you are capable of better, so if you make it through, I'd like to see more!

 

Thirteen

Really atmospheric entry. I think you are deserving of a few more votes, although I would say you are placed in a tough group. Nice landscaping, interesting structures, the choice in music was perfect and really set the tone. Nice work!

 

Louis!

What an outstanding entry. So full of life and atmosphere. The layout was perfect for a micro and nestled in incredibly to the landscape. How you managed to get all that ride interaction without the micro looking messy I don't know. I tip my hat to you sir. Best micro of the tournament!
