Well, we already know that syrti's winning this round. GG, folks.

Lol, as soon as I saw Syrti next to my name, I knew I was doomed. Great job everyone!

Looking back to the pics, I could totally understand why Sytri dominated this round. His pic is probably the clearest out of the rest, and also well lit up. Here's a hint for you guys: The photo you're submitting is the only thing that judges and the community will see. Treat it as like packaging.. and everyone knows that's important. Frog~

^ this! I am looking forward to see next round's mods. Actually I expected slightly more thanthis from R1. Especially @GeeGeeGee disappointed me. I hoped you would come up with something new and cool, but you still sticked with your Gee3x-Mod looks. Why? :'( Well, nevermind. It's still a hobby and as long as everyone enjoyed it's allright. Good job everyone! -
Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 15:13:24
By looking at the mods Im noticing something: With a little bit of effort, every mod could be a little bit better. For example adding a bit of tape underneath grips, which dont fit others. This goes out to every modder: Take your time! If youre in a hurry, do not mod. Put the mod away and work on it later/another day. You need to be patient, look at the details and do precision work. Especially when youre in a tournament! Good organization by Nacho! Interesting to look at.
-
Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 15:59:51
I like Syrti's mod. It looks nice and it probably writes well, because the part where the pen writes is unchanged except for the grip. I like that idea. :O No wonder it got so good marks. o_o

yeah. In my opinion, the theme should be clearer. It doesn't said NO old mods or mods that already created. So I stick with my mod. OH well. I thought the theme was based on how cheap the mod. So wouldn't the price count as point? I would give 2 points for Syrti because I like the writing in the back. I would also give 2 points for Apho for his mod. I like the idea too. The rest are bs...really. No creativity. Not appeal to me. If I see the price of all the mods. Then I would judge differently. But overall I don't think they deserve that much points. I mean 18 points for Krispy? I don't care about his name, but his mod....18 really? oh well i think differently. I can't wait to see the tutorials of those mods. I'mma jizz myself. -
Date: Tue, Nov 29 2011 20:51:55
And what comments did the judges gave you to justify their score? (rhetorical question, no need to reply) Frog~

[QUOTE=Nachoaddict;149772]Points will not be awarded for how well a pen matches this theme since the theme in essence is a restriction only. Notice the theme is not "make the best looking and cheapest mod".

You won't be judged on how "cheap" you are. The theme is simply to be considered a restriction and you will be judged based on your performance with this restriction.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Nachoaddict;150630]The theme isn't designed to show off the best mods you can possibly have but rather it is designed to test a modder's capabilities under a cost restriction.

[QUOTE=GeeGeeGee wrote: edit: I'm so pissed at the theme for round 2. It's like giving Syrti a free ticket to round 2. wtf.
I have to agree with vento that a lot of the mods look "rushed". Thus while though the construction can be okay, the aesthetics really take a hit. You have to understand the point of this tournament isn't winning (I mean what do you get? A small prize and a title for beating basically 6 other people). Since there was so little interest in the tournament I decided to make it about getting feedback on mods of the people who DID sign up and helping them improve. That's why I make the judges put comments on every mod. I saw a slight lack of focus on aesthetics in the last round so what better way to address this than making the next theme oriented around aesthetics. -

wow that's deep... my reading skill is like zero. i misread it . picture will be release. not tutorial. but why not tutorial? if you would have put the theme as NEW MODS ONLY then I would know. i thought gee3x was original but wah. i'm being arrogant. fuck me. yeah i get it now. syrti should be happy. :)

[QUOTE="GeeGeeGee"]edit: I'm so pissed at the theme for round 2. It's like giving Syrti a free ticket to round 2. wtf.[/QUOTE] Didn't many expect me to rule this tourney anyways? :/ Actually I think it simply would cheer me on if there was a theme that could be a "free ticket" for another modder, since I want to beat him even more! And furthermore getting feedback is more important imo. That's why I entered this tourney. Nearly no modder gets constructive feedback in SOYP-Disussion-Thread. In a tourney the results will tell you, what is to be improved. You ca't loose. You just can gather experiences!

G3x mod is original if - u dun make it too flexible with so much variations - u didn't release the tut Once it's out. There's nothing innovative anymore. Judges don't see ur name on pic. That means they wouldn't know it's u anyways (but guessed?) So when it's not even the original modder doing the mod.... Get it? Once it's out, people copies. Frog~

The tutorial only served to make sure that people made their mods with the parts that they listed (prevent cheating) and aid judges in giving comments. I don't see a real benefit to releasing them especially because some modders may not want their tutorials released. -

good job guys .... i would of loved this round :) i love making pretty mods :) next year for sure...... and its on :P p.s. dont let syrti, win this with out a fight! push your self, and im sure you well surprise your self, and you might win ... p.s.s. kill'em syrti !!!!!! lol

oh god this is so funny all the mods made are so bad except for maybe one.
-
Date: Wed, Nov 30 2011 03:57:46
LOL, look at Geegeegee being the bitch he is. One of the criteria is orginality. You made a mod that resembled your personal mod. THIS mod + your personal mod are two different pens, you can't use your own pen and say it's original.

So, the judges have to give a feedback? Will this feedback be released to the audience/the modders/or only to yourself (Nacho?). It´ll be on the one hand interesting for the audience (like myself) to see, what others thought about a mod in particular but I´d also understand if that would be kept secretly.
-
Date: Wed, Nov 30 2011 22:14:50
@GeeGeeGee Your mod was nice, but Nacho told you many times not to make a mod that resembled your G3x mod. But srsly, stop complaining about this and that. It's starting to piss me off. Then you start complaining about how i got 18 and Syrti's and Apho's mod were the best. Get over it mate.

Date: Wed, Nov 30 2011 23:25:45
i still remember asking him "ONE BIC QUESTION: do I have to make a new mod or just mod that already released to the public?" he didn't say anything. he answered the other questions i had but not this one. I was too late anyways. lose is lose. i lost. you won. i didn't say anything when you said i was a bitch....then you had to mention me in this thread. nice. btw Nacho told me nothing about making another g3x mod. Notice: judge 2 and 3 3-[B]4[/B]-0 2-[B]0.5[/B]-0 3.5 points difference...whatever I'm done.

@GeeGeeGee I'm seriously interested in what the judges commented on ur mod then.. how they justified the score they given to ya.. If you dont mind, then why not share it out for better discussion? Frog~

[QUOTE=GeeGeeGee;142642]i want to participate too!!! so i have to make new mod every round? can i recreate the mod i made before? it has to be new mod everytime?[/QUOTE] Because I thought I answered it :/ [QUOTE=Nachoaddict wrote: @GeeGeeGee it depends on the theme. You will be awarded points for originality but there is an exception if for example the theme is "famous mods". Then you can recreate another mod instead of making a new one and originality will be awarded based on how you make that famous mod personalized or how you add your own artistic twist to it.
Maybe it was just a difference your interpretation of "originality" and mine. I'm always happy to answer questions so if people aren't sure about something I said, I'll explain it again. Don't be afraid to ask! :) Anyways how about we stop posting about this little argument now. Thank you. -

Gogogo judges! Can't wait to see the results :3 Naa actually I want to ask something: Would it be possible to start the last round in the new year? Since it's christmas time n stuff I don't have any time and no money left at all. And I think I am not the only one with this problem. I guess the others got the same problem. Just an idea. I will be able to make a mod, if I reach the finals. @Nachoaddict
