Fizz, etmil, ahsen: I can see your ip when you post. Rules say you cant vote own track... so please...

Etmil · Post by **Etmil** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 6:16 pm

Jarno and everybody else: this is a misunderstanding, I wrote to Jarno about this and hopefully he will make the right decision. Bottom line - Fizz here is my sister who likes to cause problems for me and apparently has succeeded. You can either cancel her votes, disqualify me from the competition, or continue as it is - it's your call, basically. I would never vote for my own track, I assure you.

Thanks for your understanding

Actually, you can remove all the posts regarding and concerning this mess. Makes it cleaner.

Crimond 7-
Track is a bit dizzy when racing. Profile is ok but track isnt looking so accurate than it would with default tiles. Upper part of a track is better than lower part.

JC_Montegi 8
First i have to say that i dont like that slowing sand. Track is made for fast cars and with those profile is good. Its not that difficult track but i liked that its got something smooth and nice. I could imagine some long races with this track.

Jn_Starr 9
Track is looking good but something is missing in feeling. I like to drive all other parts but the higher left part of a track. Turns after that upper straight doesnt feel so good. But other parts are really good. With anti that grey gravel isnt so good. But surely one of the bests this time.

Limp_Podiums 8-
This track suprised me a bit because its doesnt look as good as it is. One hour more work would have made this one of the winning candidates. Now there is too "unfinished" corners. Feeling is mostly good. Better for faster cars.

eal_light 6+
Well, this isnt the best track of a competition but there i a bit good in that too. With slider that terrain slides nice and that upper part of a track slides very nice. But that wont take this track on top.

RJ_DickstrÃ¶m 7-
Hard shicanes and hard... Well its challenging with fast cars. I dont like tracks look and tracks first two shicanes. Other way its ok. Maybe the best track in dick serie.

Mo_Laguardia 9-
This was almost my favourite track in this competition. Only thing i didnt like was that last corner. It doesnt have that smooth and flowing feeling like in other curves. Its simple but still very nice.

Sw_Puskala 5+
This track would be fun with 20racers. With fuel! That pit would be very good with 20players. There is nice ideas but unfortunately its a bit too unfinished and messy. But i think its one of swaam's first tracks so tracks will get better and better.

So my votes:
1. Jn_Starr
2. Mo_Laguardia
3. JC_Montegi

Limp-pu · Post by **Limp-pu** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 12:25 am

oink. I drove with slider only

Eal_ligth: 4Â½
Quite rough looking. That terrain works only on that upper-part-corner, which is very nice actually. Starting-driving line isn't the same as finishing-line, which makes it bad for lap-wankers.

Sw_puskala: 5

Mixing terrains is no good idea. Theres also a jump before corner, which I dont like either. Tight curve with tires is actually kinda exiting and fun. would be nice for rough racing with 20 players.

JC_Montegi. 5Â½ for slider. 7Â½ for others
obviously, not made for slider. that super-sand is bad. It's also too close to road, i think.
I did try with some faster cars too (some nascar and LeMans -cars). It was nice but would have needed some edge. It would be lot nicer to race with many people. alone that was kinda dull.

Crimond: 6
I never get used to how these photoshop-tracks feel to drive. It looks very nice, though. Inaccuracy in corners is no good. It also feels strange that white lines doesn't change cars behaviour, like with default-tiles. Track-profile is very good. Starting-driving line isn't the same as finishing-line, which makes it bad for lap-wankers.

RJ_DicstrÃ¶m: 6+
Tight shicanes are always kinda manly to drive trough. Maybe these shicanes are even too tigth, tough. Well, it just adds to the exitenment. I like the challenge of tigth chikanes. There could be some more grass between cones and road.

Mo_Laguardia: 7Â½
Nice fast sliding track. Allmost every curve is round and has many cones to hit, which makes it kinda boring to drive. It's just trying to be inside all time. Too easy to make fatal mistakes since theres no grass between cones and road. Corners have many cones, which I dont like. I'd like to have one "hitting-point" in a corner, which makes it clearer to drive.

Jn_Starr: 8-
Not the best janne. Some nice corners( the rigthmost part and shicane before last corner). Nothing revolutionary, basic good track. Some ligth modifications would have helped to keep the flow up. looks ok.

J_CeltaAmore: 9Â½
Super-nice flow in this one. especially in the beginning. Theres enough grass between cones and road, which makes the track enjoyable to drive. Last bridge maybe too hard, tough it's good to have a part with some more exitenment. Jarnos greatest maybe.

so:
1: J_CeltaAmore
2: Jn_Starr
3: Mo_Laguardia

For example Malaysia, Canada and China F1 tracks don't have this either. Plus most of the TS tracks. Just out of curiousity [no offense or hard feelings or anything but.. ] do you consider yourself a lapwanker?

Hmmm, you should look more closely those tracks. They all have that "Starting-driving line is the same as finishing-line" thing. And what comes to TS tracks, it's just that it's more enjoyable when the driving line is the same (straight after the finish line, so you don't have to brake or turn). You don't have to be a lap wanker to want those kind of things.

I guess it's no use to organise these competions anymore. Number of voters sunk from 22 to 8. With any luck there may be 3 voters next time.

Post by **dede** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 10:55 am

Well, sorry but I didn't have time to test those tracks.. I could vote basing on screeshots, but I don't think it's fair, so I won't

Jarno · Post by **Jarno** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 1:19 pm

Voting has ended and we have a winners.

1. J_CeltaAmore
2. Mo_Laguardia
3. Jn_Starr

J_CeltaAmore and Mo_Laguardia got same amount of points but J_CeltaAmore got more first positions so it is a winner. Congrats all.

PS. Janne: i know this wasnt so big success because people didnt vote. But again we got 9tracks for this so that is good result. Lets continue and hope people will vote.

I don't seriously mean that you should stop this, but I only mean that it shouldn't be a big deal from people to give their votes and do their little part for the community. Well, someones just doesn't have any time, but that can't explain so much lower percentage of voters compared to the first competition.

Congrats all and thanks for those who gave votes for my track.

Say w0t? Why should people vote for this contest if they don't even play the game?

Janne · Post by **Janne** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 3:50 pm

Yeah, there's eight players in this game? Probably it's so though.

Limp-pu · Post by **Limp-pu** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 7:51 pm

testing tracks takes time and mostly people have to do that offline. alone. That sucks. Best would be having somekind off a cup with these new tracks. afterwards there could be a testing server up for some days. then more people would actually have patience to drive the tracks. For example: I personally dont like dit, but even tough I have drove dit-tracks on autoserver, only cause there is a server with people. Without that server I wouldn't ever have seen dit-tracks.

Its a big thing to ask for, but autoserver would be nice.
