News / Official NE Parkmaker Order

lol, 128...
I reckon i will be ranked somewhere around 51...
I think its a fair ranking order so far, no complaints- most of them i would rank in the same order too.

-X-

Wow.. this is a nice list. Foozy, I think, could easily make the top 10 if he was more productive. Same goes for Kevin.. except he doesn't have that much finished work to being with. The next set of parkmakers is when it should get interesting.

Once again the list is looking good.
I would make a few slight adjustments but thats it.

Im guessing the rest of the parkmakers (john, slob, PA, twisted and Evil wme) will be in the next list.

I dont know if im going to be in the list as i havent made much recently, although ive helped NC and am competing in QFTB...but i'd like to think i could make the next list

Now by no means am I saying I should be number one, but I have to argue with some of those numbers. "Coaster Skills", okay, I'll agree. I'm definetly working hard on bringing that up, it's my current goal. "Themeing" I'm pleased with, but "Architecture". Personally I'm quite fond of my architecture. I'd love to know what makes mine less pleasing than that of Mantis (sorry to pick on you), but who's WOMB was filled with little shacks. "Creativity/Originality" I'll have to argue. I really try to be as creative as possible. Being creative in RCT is not just about new rides, which sadly I think it is. Look at Cataclysm. CoasterEd introduced that dock crane, which was amazingly creative, but it wasn't a ride. Personally, creative things I've done: "Trackitechure", Spherical Epcot Ball, "The Tree", Rotating Loading Platform, Stalling Adventure Ride, Horizontally Moving Drop Ride, and I have two new ideas in "Ouest" which is about 25% done. "Productivity" I agree on, and it's probably my downfall. I don't agree with "Community Effect". I always feel that my parks never have revieved the huge buzz that surrounds parks such as WOMB, SWA, Egytopia, Mount Sinister, UIX etc.. "Naming", I agree. Many of the names I choose are inspired by my surroundings. "Atmosphere/Environment" is a tough one. I think the atmosphere I create is pretty good, but many people who view my parks rate the atmosphere highly. "Potential To Build Next Great Park", I always love to stive for this, and I'm always trying to grow, anything is possible. I probably would have put this number lower. "The Wow Effect" I would have dropped. You never see anyone screaming WOW, or using the "jaw-drop" smilie in any of my spotlight topics. "Detail" is another thing I'm working on getting up there. Finally, "Variety". I agree I don't completely change my style from one park to the next, but if you were to compare DFK to DDI, there would be a huge differance. If you compared The Aegean to The Westcoast, another completely different set of styles. I prefer to say my parks grow instead of change.

About being number seven, it works. I'm would love to be higher like I'm sure any other parkmaker would too, but I know I still have lots of room to grow.

On another note, CoasterEd's architecture is underated. It definetly deserves a 10. Mantis deserves a higher "Community Effect" rating and Mala deserves a slightly higher "Naming" rating.

YAY Micool!

Prince should be a bit higher though. Project Ownage is looking REALLY good.

nice list and all, but where am I.........nah jp i suck

Very interesting... I'm afraid I don't get alot of those ratings, but very interesting none the less...

Just one thing (at least), Metro better then slob at coasters? slob better then Metro at architecture? I think those should be switched. slob is VERY underrated in coaster design, and Metro is a better architect then you think...

Wow, these are coming fast. I agree with the list, but I believe d4rkj4nu5 and Prince Ashitaka should be switched places. Turtleman could be higher.. but his productivity is weighing him down (oh look, a pun). I also thought Blitz-sama would have been in this round, but I guess not..

I also thought Blitz-sama would have been in this round, but I guess not..

Productivity: 0.1

Looks great so far. I agree with your points of view on these guys, Matt. Very accurate.

-Best Work: "John Williams: Through the Ages"

Yay!!!

I agree about Mala, I think Posix and Evil WME should be higher tho.

Quit stressing, what's the point?

Anyway, thanks for the nod on the list iris, even if I don't completley agree with some of your ratings.

P.S. Don't I get "Extra Credit" for having the MOST downloaded Spotlight at NE?

Yes, but then you get points deducted since 75% of the people who downloaded it went to open it and found it to not work. So it's a wash.

thats also kida like an on the rader update. DJ, Turtleman, Metro, Voodoo and Micool.

Micool, you and I both know that your coaster rating is way too high.

Hrm. I definently agree with placing Mala at #1 and Mantis at 2, from there I'm not sure I completly agree but it is a solid list.

I wonder if I'll make the 40-50 portion since that's the only place were I have a chance.

ride6

ps- Micool wishes his coasters were that good.

Seems like a well thought out list to me. I would probably have rakned a few differently, but not by much.


Hmmm....that really wasn't a comment of any substance. Perhaps it was merely an attempt to get this topic onto the fourth page.

supertrooper

I would have EvilWME higher on the list, and for some reason I think SAC should be one place higher for just the sheer perfection of RoB...

I don't know.

true Evil WME is ranked to low after all he has done. I just cant think of him as out of the "great parkmaker" group, even if it only is one spot away.
