Micro Madness 2014 / Micro Madness 2014 Round 1 Rankings Topic

iBecause Liam requested it

 

I don't really have a top ten from round one yet, but ITM's entry is probably top

can i be found in it?

 

lol jk, i just got lucky disneylandian didn't finish

So you made a topic, because someone else requested that someone made it, when you don't even have a top 10 yourself

 

This is exactly what I was referring to when I said I didn't want to lock millions of topics.

 

I'm gonna be mean and lock this. If someone actually has a Top 10 of Round 1 to post. Then please start a new topic, making sure you actually post a top 10 and i'll merge this one into it

 

Topic merged & unlocked. Thankyou Ling

I'm not 100% on the bottom 10~15 as it's a mix of unfinished and largely empty entries, but I'm quite confident in the top 10~15. Anyway, I'm curious what others think.

Don't know why you think my entry is better than Skull Castle

Treat neighboring entries as, for all intents and purposes, tied (although usually for different reasons). In this case both were reasonably good ideas with some skill but lacking execution.

First of all, I've separated them into tiers, just to show where I think the big gaps in quality lie. The biggest gap is definitely between the TopTop Tier and the Top Tier. Seriously, itm and Shotguns pulled everything out this round and I cannot wait to see what they come up with next.

 

I'll give a quick run down on each tier;

 

The TopTop Tier is the parks that literally satisfy everything needed on a map this size; they're aesthetically pleasing, they have plenty of little details, they have a solid ride/ride lineup and the quality of the work is consistent throughout the whole mini. 

 

The Top Tier is for parks that are almost there but it's missing just one of the categories mentioned above. For example, I thought that Bad Kraken wasn't too aesthetically pleasing, but the details and quality of the work throughout was top notch, putting it in this bracket. 

 

The Middle Tiers are the sort of parks that I'd expect to see in this competition. They're by no means bad, especially in the Upper Middle Tier, but they don't quite hit the spot for me. They're all solid entries though, and I would have no issues with seeing a park of this quality go through to the next round.

 

The Bottom Tier is just that. I don't think these parks are necessarily awful, but there's normally a lot of stuff lacking from them. 

 

 

Also, I don't have LL, so the parks in brackets are where I'd rank the LL parks based on the overviews.

Finally a decent ranking topic.

 

But, I'm gonna lock it because i'm not in Ling's top 10.

 

(jokes)

damn! i didn't know i actually had to contribute to my own threads, louis

Yes, yes you do.

Confirmed, Louis! is anti-American.

No, just anti-shogo.

see you next round louis

1. Coupon - Coupsland

see you next round louis

You know I really love you babe <3

still doesn't detract that i'll kick your ass next round 

you guys need to check up on reality and face the real winner

Thanks I guess, but Bad Kraken should really be top 20 at best, not top 4

 

For me...

 

1. Airtime

2. ITM

3. FK

4. Shotguns?

5. Louis

6. Pizza

7. RCT2day

8. Dimi

9. Stoksy

10. JJMayForce

 

No offense to anyone not up there, but this round was all around pretty even. No one really was that many notches above the mid-lower level entries.

My tops, not really in any order:

 

ITM

JJMayForce

Shotguns?

Stoksy

Pizza

 

I'm ecstatic with the amount of fantasy and semi-realism going on, and how well it's doing. More so, I love the surprising members it's coming from. Wonderful round thus far, even with 20 odd drop outs.
