Your intimacy with his work is quite tellingoaktown wrote:Personally I'm surprised by the voting - H is far from that mapmaker's best work, in my humble opinion. Looks to me like he threw it together in about three hours using a flatbed scanner, a library book, and elements from his other maps.

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
shoot... i cant decide on a b or h!
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
im shocked also. I couldnt decide between A B or H, and I narrowed it down to B and H, and I decided to go ahead and vote for H, thinking B probably had a ton of votes...multiplayertim wrote:I was undecided between B and H went for H in the end i'm shocked B has no votes thoughoaktown wrote:what, no votes for B? Not even the mapmaker? It's a clean look - it deserves some love.

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
I didn't get to submit but I think C is on the right visual track. Brazil is a happy place where piecemeal art is part of the local flair.
I think the others don't really capture the spirit of the place as it does. It needs to tone some of the filter work down a bit but it's definitely getting there.
That's my 2 cents. It won't win with H having such a strong lead but I really think it should.

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
I like both A and H alot, they are both unique, but it dosnt look like A will make this cut, but H is going great!
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
There's something about A I also like. Kinda of a night time feeling. But it certainly looks like we already have a winner. Not much hope of catching up now. I'm not even sure if we need a second round "face-off" when the lead is that big.Natewolfman wrote:I like both A and H alot, they are both unique, but it dosnt look like A will make this cut, but H is going great!

1. votes don't carry over and everyone who didn't vote for H could vote for the #2 one.RjBeals wrote:There's something about A I also like. Kinda of a night time feeling.

2. the changes the 2nd place guy makes might make people change their vote from H to that one
3. you smell
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
Haha, got a vote... And its not mine. Im happy already 

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
No offense to you, Marv, but it must really suck for the creator of B to not have got a vote when even the old version did. I'm tempted to change my vote just so whoever made it doesn't get suicidal or something.

b was quite good really so yer it did suprise me
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
I like A the best it need a tiny bit changes but it is far better than any of the other maps. it reminds much more of brazil than any of the others.

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
vote f and get it to the next round!!!1
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
To be honest none of them stand out apart from F, which i really really like but from a playing point of view the prespective view doesnt look right....
Maybe if the prespective looked more like H it would be a winner

Highest score : 2297
Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
this runs for a week, so people can come back and change their votes based on the way its shaking down. Anything can happen, and hopefully we'll be in for some surprises in round 2, especially if gimil does indeed let three maps go through.yeti_c wrote:Methinks this round is over?
C.
Will the mapmakers be unveiled after round 1, or do we have to wait until the entire thing is over? I say open it up and let the mapmakers talk about their maps in round 2. I would like to hear what the mapmakers have to say before casting a final vote. Plus folks have already figured out at least one of them, and I'd put money on who did F.
Very glad to see B finally got some votes.

Re: Official Brazil REVAMP competition [Round 1]
sorry i'm late to this but there some very nice maps there!
(H) just seemed to have all the right components in the correct proportions: it's elegant, subtle yet striking; the graphics in which it is bordered are evocative of aged authority, yet it is very apparently retro-pastiche.
heh, just my 2 pennies worth.
