H2H2 / Icons vs. Pufferfish

Go Elfwood, Icons will Kill and won't go down.

Elfwood was too...typical

Go Labs

Icons will Kill and won't go down.

and that's a reason to not vote for them

The Lab one was more creative, love the red water, havent seen that in ages

The only thing I see that's more creative is the red water, and the only reason that's considered creative is because no one ever uses it, and the reason people don't use it is because..........it's ugly!!!! So, yeah. I don't agree. Icons get my vote.

That is exactly what I am thinking, atleast some people understand. Otherwise the world would make ugly things and people would call them creative, that would be bad.

Go Icons...twas great boys!

And you guys think that Elfwood was creative?!
I can't stop myself from laughing.

All you try to do is hiding yourselves being so not creative and making boring parks one after the other.
You should stop trying and live with it.

I never said Elfwood was creative, I just said the Horstmann Labratories wasn't.

Everything in RCT is creative dammit. Just because lots of people do the same sort of thing doesn't mean that they're all boring. Look closesly and you'll see that the only thing really separating the two parks is colours and a couple of hacks. But again I won't pass judgement on which I prefer, because I can't.

you aren't serious, are you?
God no would that be sad....

I am. I explained it all in my first post, really. I don't see why people think there is such a rift between the parks - the theming in Elfwood is better than in Horstmann. The coaster in Horstmann is better than in Elfwood. The architecture in Elfwood is better than in Horstmann. The landscaping in Horstmann is just a bit better than in Elfwood. Seriously, there isn't much difference in quality between them. People see brown and think 'boring'. By that philosophy the Western area in MM is boring, the Avalon area in TH is boring, the whole of DDI is boring. I don't understand that mentality.

You shock me there, Mantis, really bad.

It's all about if things look aesthetic or not. Same for landscaping.
Whole MM is what I call "aesthetic". All the colours fit, all the buildings fit, trees fit, coaster fits... just everything. Same for arrangements, names and what not. It's all PERFECT. Now if I look at something like Elfwood (it doesn't have to Elfwood necessarily, it's just a good example for a not perfect park (of course Horstmann isn't perfect either)), I see that it's all not planned, just space filled, cramped with way too various trees or shrubs and all flat. This is what I call some "not good" landscaping. Same for the buildings. They somehow don't seem to fit at places... same for the rides. That's the striking difference between good and less good parks....


no, this seriously wasn't a good explanation.... I know.
Let's talk about that in German on AIM Mantis

Yeah I totally agree, some people really confuse me. I mean, not many parkmakers make up new things, most of the time they still do the apparently "Boring" stuff.

u really r biased !!!!
u chat so much shit its untrue........
who is arsed if we get beat......not me ...its a game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok urs was bloody creative i admit but i mean reality is a lot to a lot of ppl. Ours was more reality and urs was more creative

people are now arguing that labs was uncreative?
bwahahahha!
Anyone who says that wouldn't know creativity if it smacked them in the face with a brick at 70mph.

Elfwood IS good, but it is ALSO a cop-out of a park creativity-wise. Adam understands this, he just SAID it. Labs got creativity, elfwood got reality, and theres very limited things you can do with reality in my humble opinion.

I dare you all, you hear me? ALL OF YOU to start building DIFFERENT fucking things for a change, break away from the goddamn formula, or even just your own formula. What I just said applies to all schuessler, KM, and Nevis wannabes especially.

Quite a nice little advertising campaign you got going there Posix...
You could maybe chill a little bit and let some of the people vote for this thing on their own?

6 posts in this topic on why people should vote for Horstmann Labratories?
They get the point already.
It's realism vs. fantasy.
You're obviously going to be incredibly biased towards your teams park. And mantis offered a different (yet pretty accurate opinion), but it altered from what you're wanting to here right now.
Everybody gets it. I'm not making this huge case for why realism is better then fantasy am I? Or why my park was betters, or "why not to vote for Pufferfish", or any of that.

Yes.
Icons park was cliched.
It was seen before.
The coasters weren't revolutionary.
It wasn't as good as Moonlight Magic (can't believe we're holding that against it).

But.
Has anybody mentioned how bare and unfinished/cheap the bottom portion of your map is, with the S&S Towers?
Or that more then 50% (of a minipark no less) is all water?
Or that its more or less the same building made over and over again?

I've kept my piece and watch you just tell these people why to vote for you, and I feel it's my duty as team captain to call you out on it, and give my team the same kind of benefits you're giving yours.
Thank you.

Hmm...from a distance Horstmann Labratories looks better, but up close Elfwood looks far superior. Horstmann just seemed to plain for me, whereas Elfwood was excellently designed.

Therefore I voted elfwood

I have this feeling Posix may have been involved in the building of Horstmann Labs....

Elfwood. Yes it was a "typical" park, it was a good "typical" park.

Labs--nice coaster-nice idea with red water. But the layout of the coaster wasn't to hot, not to mention, it really looked like you kinda, ran out of time, or something, and decided not to really build much else...I don't know.

So yes. Elfwood.

Man, really makes me wish I woulda signed up for this!

Elfwood, purely because it WAS Cliched. The only thing is the giga needs a ne2w paint scheme.
