H2H5 / [H2H5] Round Robin | Round 1 | Match 1

Thank you for all the great comments, and congrats to the Elementalists for such an awesome and innovative park.

BTW, for those who cared, the World Showcase logo was made by J K and the readme was written by yours truly.

^You could kinda tell that Your name came under the title of the readme.

I guessed both robbie and kumba in WS. Also thanks for the compliment that everyone guessed me for AoW

guessed kumba and robbie. tought I'd saw some things from gwazi but tought he quited rct2 completly. luckly I was wrong.

let me see if I remember who did what i AoW:

Castle: Camcorder
Camp around castle: Levis
Center rock: Levis
Naval Area: Levis
DDay Ride: Levis
Hiroshima theming and city: Camcorder
Beach: Camcorder
Landing crafts: Levis
Bunker at beach: levis
Airport: Levis
Home Planet: Camcorder
Star Destroyer: Camcorder
Elevators: Levis
Ufo's: Camcorder
Star Destroyer Rides: Levis

think thats about it. some things where build by one and improved by the other etc.

I was a nice experience working with cam. he had some really nice ideas and personally I loved some of his archy. to bad we got some time issues in the end. thats why the space area looks a bit unfinnished. it was suppost to be more for cam but because he didn't had time at the end I had to finnish it up and didn't really know what to do.
I tought our styles matched pretty good and it didn't really look like two seperate parts. I tried to include some new things in this park which I hope will find theire way in some main stream parks. cam proved to be valueable in this cause he sometimes came up with nice ideas which I was able to execute. Milo had some nice ideas to (like the ship battle).
The hardes part for me would have been the castle cause I always want castles to be to large and to wide spread. Cam seems to have this issue a bit also but less problemetic than me. thats why he got to do the castle. Personally I would have done it a bit more acurate to the time period but I still think cam did a wonderfull job.

Cam and Levis. I thought Levis and Ivo like alot of us. Well done guys. Great park, great hacks.

Congrats on World Showcase guys. Robbie was extremley fast and he built what he needed to when he needed to. Your commitment to the team is awesome. Gwazi possibly one of the games best duel players? More released work and you may top that list. Kumba delivers as always and the initial idea was brilliant and your Aussie whirl was awesome.

Congrats team.

AoW combined with Metal Masters have given me a new-found respect for Cam. Nice work man.

As for the rest, it's nice stuff like I would have expected. I don't really follow Gwazi much because he's more LL, but from what I could see he's pretty damn sick at RCT2 also. Levis, Kumba, and Robbie were dead give-aways though haha.

Nice work guys. Great way to start H2H.

I knew Kumba was one of the parkmakers (His style is pretty easy to pick up, and he'd mentioned the frozen staff idea to me before. And I think the parade idea might've come up in h2h4.) and Robbie seemed pretty obvious for the second. I wasn't really looking for a third parkmaker, but even if I was I might not have guessed Gwazi (except maybe because of his silly post, but I don't really know his work too well either).

Anyways, I very much liked both parks. I thought our park had a definite win coming to it, as I thought we got a lot done in a short time and the result was better than most parks from any previous season, but I guess the Hurricanes have shown that H2H5 has a lot in store, as their park was easily comparable to ours. Their park concept was lacking in originality, and it was definitely cramped, but as an outsider to the contest it would've gotten my vote (sorry team). As seen by my history, I'm fond of the country theme, I like Disney parks, I prefer detailed semi-realism, and the park reminds me of some of my own stuff. I think my favorite thing was the parade, as I've wanted to do that for a while, but it's always been too much of an afterthought for me (as it may have been here, since it looks like it has nowhere to go). I liked how well each float conveyed its theme in a tiny space. And I liked the fireworks, especially the infrastructure for it, though I'm surprised Kumba allowed them. In our park I loved the trebuchet as it was very realistic in its operation. I thought the castle and surroundings were very impressive too (during construction I initially thought that was going to be the entire park). The naval battle was also really neat.

heh no wonder Gwazi was so butthurt about our park

It was nice working with Levis, always cool to open up the park to see new awesome hacks. I was planning on making the castle more appealing but was gone the last 3 days and didnt have time to build it. So a lot of added details and foliage we couldnt add, as we were focusing on just getting it finished. Oh and we also wanted to build a torture chamber with an iron maiden ride . But Im glad with how it turned out, especially since Ive been so damn busy. But no excuses as the Hurricanes pulled off a nice park themselves. As much as I wanted to find something to hate, I really couldnt find too much, except maybe the amount of space wasted on the lake and path. I liked the invert and theming around it, and always enjoy a park with vibrant colors like that.

However, had I not have built Art of War, the ideas in it as well as the scale might have impressed me enough upon initial view for me to vote for it, while World Showcase was a pretty standard park with some nice touches. But it is completely biased, or maybe better put subjective. Not because the team wants their park to win, but theoretically they build what they like best so if it comes out how they want, then they will like their work better than anything. Some things didnt come out quite as good as I wanted in my park, but I still probably would have voted for it due to personal preference.

butthurt? really? don't rekindle the flame. i stated how i felt, and it wouldn't have changed had i not built on the park.

oh and look who's talking.

13 to 3? fucking weak. Whatever, Ill check the other one out when I get home.

to bad such a great park will be beating by such a boring park.... seems that my opinion about the community is still right.

sounds like you guys were a little more "butthurt" than me.

K wrong word sorry I hurt your feelings. Ha, and my only other post in this topic before I stayed out of the whole bitchfest due to indifference/lazyness was an example of butthurtedness. Did you even what I said about your park?

since when did i say my feelings were hurt?

and yes i did see what you said about our park. did you see what i said about yours (other than what everybody attacked me for)? most people seem not to notice.

^You could kinda tell that Your name came under the title of the readme.

Haha. I never realized that. I guess it was put in after I gave it to Kumba, because I never put my name in there. Whatever. At least it got done.

Microsoft Word automatically adds the author's name to the file. I've seen it with other H2H parks in the past, so I don't think it's grounds for disqualification. It shouldn't be, though it'd probably be a good idea to check for it before submitting.

Nice readme, btw.

there an option in windows vista to remove all personal data from a file. use that before submitting it

Ah, okay

DRAT!
I never got a chance to vote. Oh well. It would of gone toooooooo........

>Hurricanes!<
A lot of it reminded me of Epcot. And some of the attractions, (even though they may not of been in the park originally,) seemed to blend in rather seemlessly. The Illuminations show went well and it was a pleasant surprise. Loved the log flume.

The Elementalists:
All in all... Too much hack was forced into a too small space. And old saying comes to mind. 20 lbs of "stuff" packed into a 10 lbs. bag. Nice work, but I feel like I was beaten over the head by "Look at all the hacks we did!" Most of my time was spent trying to figure out the hacks, and not enough time was spent taking it in.

I knew Kumba worked on WSC because he managed to misspell 'rickety'.

Good work to both parks but the australian section is nothink like australia sorry to say

Dr_Dude - and America-Go-Round (Amarica-Go-Round), and Comedy (Comady), so yeah, you make a good point. lol
