Micro Madness / #1 Corkscrewed vs. #14 Camcorder22

Round 4 - Match-Up #2: Corkscrewed vs. Camcorder22

#1 Corkscrewed with his entry:
Nemesis X



#14 Camcorder22 with his entry:
Dulce, NM



The winner, after 9 votes the judges, by a score of 5 to 4, is... Camcorder22

This win means that...

Camcorder22 is now an NE Parkmaker!

Cam is now in the Final 4 and will face myself in a what looks like a Superbowl 42 scenario! Should be a very good match-up, I honestly have no clue who will win, but I will say that I don't think either of us is out of ideas or ready to give up after making it this far.

Congrats Cam!

Camcorder22 is now an NE Parkmaker!

Can somebody please murder me and put me out of this misery?

really, camcorder won?

Honestly?

the guy's good, but come on. at this rate, xin and i will be parkmakers by next week sometime.

Sorry, but Camcorder22 should NOT be a Parkmaker. He's completed what - four micros? And the only Parkmaker-quality work I've seen him put out is in these parks. Okay, so he can come up with a creative, vertical idea and execute it well. A lot of people can do it.

Congrats nonetheless, but I think I have to agree with the other three ^.

Acceptance speech?

X 100.

Yeah but really, before you guys overthrow the site, Ill just let you all know that if Im really going to get to be a parkmaker, I will sure as fuck not let down the standards of this site.

Also looking at the overviews, I really do think Corkscrewed's looks a little better, but I suppose the judges liked my ideas and concept more. It seems to definately play a part in the judging for this contest. I wont lie, on Sunday, I was about ready to give up and turn in a half-assed incomplete entry featuring only the top half. I was just out of ideas to add and finals/life were kind of getting to me. But I started making the coaster along the bottom, got more into it and was pretty impressed with the way it turned out. It does look rushed and incomplete in parts, so hopefully when I take the time to make a full complete solo, it will display my skills a little better. This is completely unexpected though, especially against such a good opponent/entry.

So hopefully for the large portion of you who are probably pissed at this right now, it will look better in a few months. The rules been there since the start though and nobody argued it so I guess Kumba is keeping his word.

Yeah, this seems to be a virtually unanimous opinion that Camcorder isn't currently deserving of a Parkmaker spot. It's the most surprising thing that's happened since xin beat RRP.

^Is it really that surprising to you?

The policy was indeed questioned...
Just wondering though, how is Camcorder22's Parkmaker page there on the page already, while 5Dave's, Junya Boy's, and Levis' are not?

The best park won here, I think. They were both interesting for sure-- it could've easily gone either way. In my opinion, I would go for Cam's, as it's a pretty cool park.

Still, I'll consider him a parkmaker once he releases a big park as I feel that should be a qualifying feature here. 15x15 parks are difficult to make well, but in a big park is a whole different story. Congratulations, but I'll be waiting for the park.

^^I figured he'd get pretty far into the contest, but I was figuring that Cork or somebody would have beaten him by the final four. Is it the world's most surprising thing? Probably not, but it wasn't something I was anticipating and I might be out of the race for winning the bracket contest. To be honest, I'm incredibly tired right now and was too lazy to think of a clearer way to voice my opinion. Camcorder clearly did what he had to do to win a parkmaker spot and earned it in regards to the contest, but I think the immensity of his micros was better than their technical quality.

Yeah, my park didn't turn out how I wanted, so I figured there was a chance Cam could beat me. And he just built and built and built.

Congrats, buddy! Frees me from RCT obligation, which takes one load off my shoulders. Woulda been nice to face Kumba from a competitor's point of view, but from a full time employee point of view, this is a good thing for me. Now I don't have to forfeit.

(btw, technically, who made it to four first?)

Bloody hell.

I might start playing again so I can become a parkmaker within a week!
Who the hell is Camcorder22??

No offence, like.

Camcorder nice entry but i thought Corks was better and more refined. It was a hard job choosing the winner but i found the quality in Cork's to be alot better.

Congrats on the parkmaker spot. I don't agree with it but if thats what is done, congrats.

Yeah it is kinda stunning, but Camcorder22 is now an NE Parkmaker and thats not something that I can really take back in any way.

Heres the thing tho, this is an official NE contest and with that you always have at least one Non-NE Parkmaker go the distance and grab a spot. Thats what happened here. I am just glad it was only him, otherwise its all NE Parkmakers who are still in this.

But fuck... I wanted to be the one to beat Cork

I like how they are both horrible aesthetically and to look at.Congrats

(btw, technically, who made it to four first?)

^ Dulce NM.

(with the first figure standing for Dulce, it went like this:
3-0; 3-1; 3-2; 4-2; 4-3; 4-4; 5-4.

WOW. Corky I think you got robbed.

Alright Camcorder, get that complete list of your works to the NE gmail inbox ASAP so I can get started on making your page, and possibly shutting up all these people who say you are not worthy (or possibly making them louder! LOL). I really want to see what else you've made, besides these micros, that warrants this parkmaker spot, cause I don't think i've ever seen anything from you besides your entries in this contest.

^agreed.

We have too many parkmakers. This is just retarded, and Cork probably should have won.

Just wondering though, how is Camcorder22's Parkmaker page there on the page already, while 5Dave's, Junya Boy's, and Levis' are not? -disneylhand

Levis/5dave/Junya's pages have been up since the awards finished, but are just temporarily invisible right now.

^agreed.

We have too many parkmakers. This is just retarded, and Cork probably should have won.

Exactly, to me it seems that there are too many people becoming parkmakers way too easily. When I used to play it took a hell of alot to become a parkmaker, aka a couple of spotlights or something incredible etc. I personally think that if Iris was still in charge we wouldn't have half the parkmakers we have now. All of the recent p/makers, Levis, 5Dave, Camcorder and Junya probably wouldnt be parkmakers if Iris was still here (maybe apart from Junya). I don't know whether Kumbarse is doing it for popularity or just to keep the site updated, but I think it would take more than a win over a "not in form" corky (when corky should have won) to become parkmaker. Surely it would be more wise to make the WINNER of Micro Madness parkmaker (if the winner isn't p/maker, obv. (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm guessing the winner will become parkmaker if he/she isnt currently one))

But still no offence to the guys who have become p/maker, congrats and everything.
In my day it would have taken alot more, thats all.

Oh, and I don't want anyone saying "you don't know nothing you don't even play anymore blah blah" because Im speaking from past experiences.
