In our Semi-Final round, we had two highly anticipated matchups, as LL giant Natelox was set to go against Cinderella story and giant killer, Jacko Shanty, while the most surprising #1 seed ever, JKay, faced off against the hottest player in RCT lately, Corkscrewed.
Well, at least one of them worked out.
EAST VS WEST
In the inter-game matchup of LL vs RCT 2, Natelox prevailed... by default... submitting a nice but definitely below-average (by his standards) rapids ride against Jacko, who, strangely enough, didn't submit anything at all.
Anyway, Natelox advances to the FINALS of the Quest for the Best: Xtreme tournament, representing the EAST bracket.
WEST: #7. Jacko Shanty - FORFEIT
EAST: #2. Natelox - Big Creek Rapids
Winner: Natelox
NORTH VS SOUTH
The other matchup, however more than lived up to its billing, as both players went all out with two amazing but vastly different entries. JKay submitted what has to be his best RCT work ever, a rapids adventure with boatloads (pun intended) of theming, thrilling drops, some nifty special effects, and atmosphere galore. Corkscrewed, however, went with a theme he'd never attempted before, a sci-fi/futuristic theme, crafting a "traditional adventure ride" laden with droids and futuristic architecture and two really nifty special effects among a host of explosions and things. Ultimately, in a very tough decision for Judge Iris, Corkscrewed eeked out a win over that pesky but quite admirable JKay with his vision of a tour ride gone seriously wrong. However, I'm sure there will be quite a bit of discussion and argument over which entry was the better one.
NORTH: #1. JKay - Buccaneer Harbour
SOUTH: #2. Corkscrewed - DynaTech Labs
Winner: Corkscrewed
So, in the Finals of Quest for the Best: Xtreme, Natelox will face off against Corkscrewed in a battle of #2 seeds. Iris will set the date of that, and I have no idea when it might possibly start. For those curious, Iris did the judging himself, and on my honor and integrity, I am reporting his decisions (the little write-ups are my own words; Iris was too lazy to add comments). Anyone seeking verification can IM him or whatnot.
Also, this round's results and archives of rounds 1-4 can be found at the new QftB:X web site:

The entries will be deleted off of NE server space sometime this week, but for future reference, they will be found there. Again, a big thanks to Dragonfly for hosting.

im loading the parks right now .... only the rct2 park... i haven´t got rct1
Adventure Rides became standart for him
Corkscrewed This is probably the most innovative idea out of the whole tournament, the concept behind it is excellant. I don't know how you find the time to hack a ride that long or how you do it to be precise, it is just amazing what you did in the hacking department. The architecture was a little repetative for my taste, but yet still was awesome. The ride was really cool and i must say it was actually fun to look at it going through its course with all the signs explaining what the robot was called... some of them names seem familiar...
Very nice entry.
JKay The River Rapids ride was excellant, but the theming was better. If i were judging, i would just about give Jkay the vote as his entry had some incredible track merging and the architecture was great to look at and incredibly varied. I watched the river-rapids all around its long course around the park, it was really cool to watch as these drops come out of nowhere, i really liked the lifthills for some reason... Excellant entry.
Overall, i would give JKay the nod because of his amazing archy and variation in colour, but i would also give the edge to Corky because of the innovative nature of his entry. I cannot decide... both entries were equally as excellant. And thats why i'm not a judge...
-X-
Jkay - Messy. That was my first impression, and it didn't really change. Fantastic theming in parts, but overall it just got too messy and unrefined for me. Didn't care too much about the ride except for the cool drop, but it looked a little long, maybe.
Corkscrewed - My favourite entry, but I'm getting tired of these invisible-track adventure rides with lots of explosions and large buildings. Those robots were really cool though, and I like all the detail and overall sense of style a lot.
i voted for natelox entry. it looked like he threw it together within a few hours but even then, it's still natelox. he manages to make almost everything appealing in a way. the other two entries had way more details and effort put into them but really, they didn't interest me. too much fantasy and rct2.
i mean, it's natelox. you just can't go wrong.
nate takes the vote.
The architecture was fantastic throughout, and all the little balconies with boxes and barrels on them were brilliant. The ride itself was nice, with some amazing drops.
Corky - Make this your last adventure ride, please. This is definitely your best one, but I'd like to see you move on. Having said that, the robots were a great idea, skillfully pulled off. The architecture was fantastic, as always, and the theme was cohesive, and discernible. It just seems that a lot of it was just bits of your other adventure rides moulded into one - the cranes and foliage from Paleos, the land layout of Escape from Dracula's Castle, and a lot of the same effects as Rockwood.
I don't have LL right now, but as soon as I see Posix online i'll be able to look at Nate's entry.
I chose JKay's entry because it looked like he put more effort into it than Nate, because I've seen better from him. But I wish we could have gotten an entry from Jacko.

It's just kinda bad timing that this last one forced me to do another adventure ride.
In any case, I hope people liked it despite the fact that I've done a crapload of adventure rides.
So definitely a great job to everybody.
JKay's Entry: I can't open it either.
Corky's Entry: Great work. However the "space" floors piss me off because they were used so much that it was hard to keep perspective. Great concept and naming too. Works brillently. The archetecture, while repetitive is normal if you think of a large coorporation. How often do they bother to hire archetects to build something "different" and inherently "worse" than what is already standing.
I'm going to void my vote though since I'm not in love with either Nate or Corky's entrys and I can't see Jkay's.
