RCT pairs 2? Anyone interested based on rules?

[the ghost]

Essentially a few years ago I created a unique game called RCT pairs which involved a team(2 people) creating 2 themed coasters a month with a theme park around it. In other words, they were judged on 2 coasters a month, but were judged quite a bit based upon whether the rides were themed well or fit in with the park.

 

BAsIC RULES

The basic rules is that a team will be created fairly, meaning people such as nin and Belgianguy could not be on a team. The teams will be voted upon by contestants to ensure that they are fair. The rules then are very similar to the original, a cenario will be made so everyone has the same materials. Trainers may be used, but Please do not over use them, as many members here are not able to hack as well as others cough Dmaxsba cough and that would give the one team a huge disadvantage. Merging tracks together and things like that are acceptable since many members are able to do that, but something like Dmaxsbas flow rider as well as a lot of the ne hacks are a bit hard to pull off. Also participants may not vote for their own park, I will vote for my favorite each month(I will not be playing) and will be able ot view the results of the monthly poll, and anyone voting for themselves will disqualify their team.

 

NEW TWIST

This time, however, the two coasters (2 still required to be built and themed each month) will not be the only thing that will be voted on, but the park as a whole will be voted on. That way if you build an amazing coater with little theming you will be less likely to win. The park does not necesarily need to have a "theme' but it must feel like a real park, meaning shops, other kinds of stalls, flat rides, water rides etc... must be added so that the park feels like a real park.

 

The game does not necessarily have an ending besides the voting each month. This is done because if the contest were to just randomly end you could give it a thread on TPRs main forum and continue where the contest left off. The cool part of this competition is it allows many of us to see what many designers can come up with, and many people will learn tecniques from their partner which they can use in future projects.

 

NOTE1 these rules are entirely up for discussion and debate and can easily be changed. Anyone interested? Also I will not be participating like I did in the first one as that was a point of some 'controversy" and i really think this game has some potential. If you read the thread RCT2 is still far from being a dead game, and many new designers are coming here every day. If this shows interet we will work on the next phases of creating a pre ser scenario, meaning a landscape as well as all the scenery and we will also begin creating teams. Anyone in or have suggestions?

I'm interested

 

However, the amount of rounds I can play will be based entirely on how much h/work I have to over the weekends that I play.

I'm interested too! But about the same as Stoksy said, It depends on how much work I have to do each month and how much time I can devote to it. But you can count me in!

I'm interested! I play at least an hour or 2 everyday so and other games to give me a break on rct2 every few days. But I might not be able to play in the later months when summer break is over.

I'll be honest guys, contests here are not a good idea.

 

Just look at all the contest threads that disappear and die. Especially all the ones where the OP never follows through. Heck, I even offered a prize out of my very own collection of theme park crap, and it died.....

^ I totally agree. That Better Than Batman contest was a good one. It's a shame it failed.

 

I really think the type of contest your wanting to do is just to much to expect. Maybe try something much more simple if you really want to have one. Check out THIS topic from back in 2006. I really think a small park build like this would make a much better contest. It is something that could be done in a week or two. Granted the one I linked to had WW/TT items in it so it is not a good choice but I (you) could fix it so it doesn't or just make a new version with custom scenery or without. Something super easy but fun for anyone to give a try.
