Mini Winter build comp!!

[heady badge]

LETS GO I GOT IN!!!

[tender apex]

YIPPEEE

[heady badge]

I am not winning but mission accomplished that I got top 10

[novel schooner]

🙏

[tender apex]

I would be optimistic and say "oh i wouldn't be so sure" but you were severely disadvantaged by not having access to new increments

[mortal compass]

did he make the build before the new increments

[tender apex]

yes

[heady badge]

I know still a little butt hurt about that, most if not all top 10 builders have used the new increments

[tender apex]

and then he only learned he could resubmit what was it yesterday or smth?

[heady badge]

Yup yesterday

[novel schooner]

Den made it to top 10 lets go

[static plaza]

the increments are so op, i made sure to rework my whole build when they came out

[tender apex]

yeah, op at causing lag

[chilly spade]

Jak can you swap mine with Tangies hers in considerably better

[heady badge]

But still to be in the top 10 with these amazing builds is an accomplishment

[novel schooner]

Dont listen to this guy

[tender apex]

theres still 2 more

[heady badge]

Singu you have seen what I am making now with the new increments, if I had that going into this comp my build would be way different

[tender apex]

yeah

[heady badge]

But oh well

[tender apex]

yeah

tbf you already won a contest so like (copium)

[heady badge]

won 2... but its not about winning its about having fun and building

[tender apex]

true

i had lots of fun until uh yesterday lol

when time crunch hit

[chilly spade]

I had no fun I stayed up 8 nights

It's for the grind

[heady badge]

lol

[chilly spade]

-# this is satire

[tender apex]

[novel schooner]

I had fun building mine

[heady badge]

I feel you with the late night grinding, during a comp I stayed up really late because they wanted the back of the build done once, that was no fun

[tender apex]

bruh

just pull a grian smh

[chilly spade]

I spent 90+ hours placing ROCKS

[tender apex]

OOF

i spent about 8 i think

how did you even manage to spend that long placing rocks

[heady badge]

a lot of rocks

[chilly spade]

🎄⛄Typical Developers⛄🎄 - OAKMAS BUILD COMP VOTING!!! · Dec 29, 2024, 7:14 PM

[tender apex]

[remote gulch]

i accidentally did that

jak can u remove my vote

@willow notch

[willow notch]

you can remove it yourself

bottom right

[remote gulch]

oh bet

[heady badge]

If number 5 doesn't win I will be surprised, its an amazing build

[tender apex]

sadge

snowtopia may you rest in peace

[heady badge]

All these good builds just had to come in the last second so many amazing builds

[tender apex]

alright imma have anxiety for the next couple days bye bye

@willow notch is it possible to make it so that the results are hidden? i think it may skew the results slightly rather than people objectively choosing their favorite. its a psychology thing

i know thats rich coming from a contestant but still

[willow notch]

There's no option

But people don't see it until after they vote

[tender apex]

yeah but you can change your vote

[willow notch]

They can change their vote after but I can't change that part

[tender apex]

dang

[willow notch]

Ill just put a little message

[remote gulch]

😭 mine has 0 votes

😿

[tender apex]

i voted for myself to make myself feel better

[willow notch]

not many votes in general

need more votes
!!!!

[tender apex]

yeah true

[heady badge]

Could make an announcement to let people know this is happening

[chilly spade]

You don't see what was voted on

[long orchid]

show results

[round hornet]

Good luck everyone, I don't think I tried hard enough, I'm sorry

[chilly spade]

You did a great job mate, You tried and that's what matters!

[round hornet]

Thank you but I promise I'll learn more about construction, thank you everyone, I think I'll take a break from this

[chilly spade]

You'll do great

[round hornet]

Thank you

[tender apex]

@willow notch is there a reason there can't be an announcement for this? I know it's not a main competition but it's still got a lot of effort and time by the builders

[heady badge]

There is it was announced in competitions

[trail sky]

That gingerbread village makes everything else look bad ;-;

me thinking mine was simple and original, which it is, but looks so bad compared to that gorgeous gingerbread village

Just the fact that he used forcefield material for the globe blows my head up, and makes me think that mine could look a little amazing just with that.

[tender apex]

??? Bro is waffling I'm confused

[trail sky]

what

I like pineapples

[tender apex]

Fair

Pineapples are goog

[trail sky]

ik

and just that way

am gonna take a picture of my pineapple pet

and put a xmas hat on it

ok new profile picture

[willow notch]

I think we know who the winner is lol

battle for 2nd and 3rd prize

[chilly spade]

Yeah we're all cooked

[remote gulch]

that one was amazing tho

[chilly spade]

I'd rather not even be top ten than 4th

[tender apex]

Me rn

[chilly spade]

were tied

crazy

[chilly spade]

nvm you're winning

Nice ^^

[chilly spade]

@willow notch is only first place allowed to gift the duplicate gamepasses?

[willow notch]

[karmic patrol]

DEN YOU ARE THE TOP 1!

[chilly spade]

I am not even close buddy 😭

[karmic patrol]

NOOOO

DENNN YOU WILLL WIN THISSSSS!!!!!!

[chilly spade]

Brother the dude is above me by 160 votes

I am NOT winning

[karmic patrol]

you are

[tender apex]

Man race for 2nd and 3rd is CLOSE and I hate it

[barren bramble]

objectively the frostpunk one should come second

the problem with community voting is that some ppl will vote based off of the reputation of the builder

i think itd be better if there were 3 experienced builders that judged off of certain aspects like level of detail

[tender apex]

yeah but its an art competition

[barren bramble]

right but thats my point

[heady badge]

But who would pick those builders, and would they vote based on skill or like you said before the reputation of the builder, figuring out voting is a tricky thing, first I believe it was the dev's who voted, then people got mad at there choices, now its public voting

[barren bramble]

i feel like if they had the oaklands builder to vote it would make sense

but i get the community getting angry at the devs as a problem

[heady badge]

Its sort of a foggy line, there are a bunch of amazing builders so it would be hard in itself to pick 3 or more that would judge fairly, also got to think about the credibility of the person, and there character

[barren bramble]

i think previous competition winners or ppl like the devs would make good contenders

[heady badge]

Between comp winners I and maybe 2 others are the only ones that are online lol. there are also builders that are way better than comp winners who just don't do comps

[barren bramble]

well thats just a problem i saw in public voting and i wanted to point it out

1st place def deserves it though besides that

[heady badge]

Oh for sure number 5 is an amazing build, and I am just pointing out things to think about to try and fix the problem you are talking about

[barren bramble]

yeah you did really good on your build i think you got the theme down well

it just also kinda sucks that they released prolly the most substantial update to building in the midst of all this

at that point i kinda just wasnt in the mood to go more into detail on my build lol

[heady badge]

I know D; my build would be a lot different if I had waited

[heady badge]

To the 6 people who took pity on me you guys are awesome

[keen siren]
