Micro Madness 2014 / [MM2014 R1] Maverix vs. Sulakke vs. navalin vs. meznator

To be honest, the top two really disappointed me this round. Mothman was extremely half-assed and didn't hold my attention for any more than a minute and a half. Columbia was a bit better in concept but architecturally lacking. Mav should've really done something that plays to his strength of ride design and this didn't.

Echer's was the only one out of the four that felt like it had some substance to it and was comprehensible compared to the cluster of buildings in Columbia. Vote goes for #1 eschers and #2 columbia.

The NCSO was alright but also was in the same boat as mothman.  

1) Navalin

Was pleasantly surprised when you sent this in. I wasn't expecting much from you if I'm honest, but here you are, sitting in my #1 spot. You not only took advantage of this illusion, you also made an atmospheric entry and whilst you could only fully appreciate it from one view, it was lovely nonetheless.

2) Sulakke

A simple entry, but still nice. Architecture was pretty and there was a nice feeling to it all. Nothing spectacular, but enough to place 2nd. Would like to see something more impressive from you if you progress.

3) Maverix

Disappointed to be honest. Was expecting you to really put something special in, and for me, this wasn't. I admit, I am not familiar with Bioshock, however even then, I should still be able to take something from this, and I couldn't. The upper area was too blocky for a floating island and the architecture left a lot to be desired. The only thing going for this entry was the lighthouse on the bottom. I think if it was solely that, you would've placed 2nd for me. If you progress, I look forward to seeing what else you can do.

4) Meznator

Some really nice, quaint, NCSO. Just not enough for a contest like this. I hope you produce more quality work like this on a larger scale.

Escher's was really beautiful. That just won it for me. The rest were marginal to decide from.

Please be aware, voting will close this evening (GMT) for this round.

Maverix & navalin go through to Round 2

Louis! I promise next round will be better! 

First off, congratulations Maverix and navalin. Two solid entries and you deserved the win. Wish you the best in the next round!

My own entry wasn't the entry I wanted to use. On the way to my dorm I forgot to bring my cd and micro with me. Because of that and some other circumstances, I had to finish my micro, a Mos Eisley themed micro, in just one hour. On top of that, my trainers failed to assist me that hour, leaving my micro pretty unfinished. Therefore I decided to send in another micro, in the hope there would be drop-outs or exteremely unfinished parks in my poule. I will try to finish the Mos Eisley micro asap, but, as every member here experienced I think, that is easier said than done. The Mothman is a micro I built seven (!!) years ago. I can't even remember I built it haha. So that may be a reason why this micro is less good than I would like to perform and is expected from a #3 seeder. Shame I'm out of the contest as I would really liked to continue, but again congratulations Mav and navalin. Great entries!
