Pro Tour 4 / Prelim #8 - Best Steel Coaster

hey fisch, didn't you do a very similar entry for the prelims last time? it was an indiana jones invert in a sort of canyon thing. I loved that way back when, way to make a sequel!
also, super harsh from six frags. i was under the impression that there was more to this contest than working layouts? doesn't some of the score come from the scenery, and so should still be there even if the layout doesn't work?

This is an amazing quote for a prelim round that was supposed to focus on "potential". I don't want to hate on you Liam, I just want to point out the most basic, intrinsic flaw of the chosen system.
And another thing on the 'democracy' issue that I couldn't write in the other thread anymore:
NE isn't a democracy. No online community on earth is or even could be.
A democracy is either a direct democracy (every single one having exactly the same share in decisions, which clearly is not the case) or it invokes some kind of parliament, as in representation (Which kind of is the case).
Thing is - without a shared socio-cultural background and therefore a shared identity, a parliament will always be undemocratic. Majority decisions are generally accepted by minorities BECAUSE there's an underlying feeling of belonging to one populace, of having in common shared conditions of self-realization.
However, this is not possible for a multi-national group. There is no shared ultimate cultural background. There's no shared dependancy. There's no shared, basic non-deniable social affiliation.
What there is: Rules that we all agreed to when signing up. We basically signed binding international treaties. We are a community of shared interests, shared rules and shared virtues. But one is always free to leave that community. It is callable at all times.

I don't feel 'at home' here. I got to know some nice people and some dickheads here. So just like at every other place. I invested much of my time. But I invested nothing of my conviction. Which is why this kind of has turned into a goodbye by now.
It's not me, it's you. But it's not your fault.

Fisch, I hope you go far with your wildcard.
Bye.

As one of the dickheads around here, I have to ask--Of all the dickhead things that I and others have said and done here, this is the part that set you over the edge?

This is practically an inevitable occurrence during every goddamn discussion. Drama just crawls out of the woodwork, even when everyone is focused on discussing the game (you know... what this site is based around) and not being hateful and unnecessarily dramatic about the slightest comments. For fuck's sake, there doesn't have to be drama and bitching in every topic on the site. >.<
It's getting worse. Something must be done.

No, it doesn't.

because we cannot control peoples tastes and opinions, they must be ended

M.A. , are you a dickhead?

As one of the dickheads around here,

I won't let you bad mouth yourself MA. You are one of the greatest members at NE <3

thanks for the comments, I dont see why this topic had to escalate like that Casimir but oh well

Thanks for the wildcard, my entry was just way too unfinished and sloppy to be enough for qualifying. Wouldn't have given myself a higher score either and I have no problem with SF's score as I wasn't expecting qualification anyway.

I definitely wanted to make something different to all the generic coasters as of late but I had so little time that I never even got to using 8cars.



Also Cocoa funny how you see this as the sequel to Indiana Jones. I can see it now that you say it, too bad neither were finished. This had way more potential though. Thanks for the kind words Liam.
