Moony's only trying to prove a point: That breaks are the great and entering every week makes you seem to eager to win constantly and basically look like an ***. :\

You think anyone would be excited if the voting board for SotM would be:

LostinHyru1e

LostinHyru1e

LostinHyru1e

LostinHyru1e

(Not saying that'll ever happen... once in a moon with scary red eyes, maybe.) I would null.

It's not against the rules, but it's bad sportsmanship. No one honestly really likes it.

Just so you know, I won't be surprised if that happens.

If I'm not the other one, then I'm going to slap you around a bit with some GB screenshots

LiH, I stand by my choice. You can complain all you want about me complaining about you constantly entering.

But I stand by this: There are times when you SHOULD take a break.

Yeah you're the other one.

Imagine if SotM had 2 LiH SHots and 2 MW Shots. That would be a REAL SotW War.

[LostInHyru1e]

Heh, Moony, I'm not good enough for that. I know that even if I contribute every available free timeslot of mine to bettering myself in ZC then I still won't be the best, so that isn't what this is about. It's about having fun. It's not about winning- that's cool too, but it's not what it's about.

I'll back off the next few weeks. I personally still don't understand how my having fun- after all, that's all this is, fun- pisses you off so much, but I'll accept that it does and take a break.

Happy?

Heh, kind of boring, though. We both have pretty distinct styles, and, dare I say it, similar. (Though definitely not identical)

You think you are? At AGN, they opened a SotW. I thought for once I could win it because LiH doesn't use AGN and wouldn't compete. Then, (being one of the managers for the AGN Expo, which hosts their SotW), I got a PM with his submission. It's not fair I tell you. icon_frown.gif

Heh, crap, I didn't know you were so sad about that. Sorry, dude. Just practice.

With that being said, Russ, I think I'm going to start competing every week. I'm so putting the rubberband on the other claw.

Which might make you end up looking a tad bit silly if I'm gonna stop.

Thank you, now what can I do with it?
So, you still think closed corners are essential? Play sabotage dragoon. At least I took a risk this time. They aren't always required.
So, you don't even notice the ripped vegetation from Secret of Evermore, nor the trees from SD3? I'm done showing off the mountains, I was done doing that months ago after it stopped working.
If you look at the dirt really closely, you'll notice there are differences in all of the tiles, and why should the mountains be grey? There are such things as brown rocks.

Thank you for telling me it's empty, but why? You guys aint helpin' whatsoever, besides Linkus. I know I should "fill it" but how? Or are these just filler comments, so you don't leave an empty comment?

Linkus, what are some color changing suggestions you got for me?

I never said that it's always important to close em off...
But there's a few reasons why you should moslty find a way to close em off:
It feels really clumsy in gameplay and it looks worse than a closed off one.
Sure, there are exceptions and places you just HAVE to leave unclosed... and it may even look good...
BUT even if this place is one of those that has to be closed off, it looks really really dumb.
As I've said earlier, the screen itself looks VERY unfinished. Sorry, but you of all people CAN do better. So do it!
XD

[Taco Chopper]

I voted for Linkus. Rather reminiscent of LA. /M/'s palette is nice, though.

[Evile]

I voted for Linkus. I love /M/'s palette but the screen is not too great imo. That pine tree trunk looks really odd and does not match at all, same with the MC mountains.

[trucky5]

Voted for Pheonix. Those forest shots are hard to make, and I think he pulled it off nicely. I would've voted for Linkus. It was a tough decision between the two!

[Red Phazon]

Linkus. I love those statues. Any inspiration from Tarm Ruins this time?

[lucas92]

LostInHyru1e's screen all the way. Great atmosphere in this screen!

Second best shot would be /M/'s one, but I thought that the colours clash a little bit too much even if the atmosphere is still great.

Linkus's one didn't cought too much my eyes. Seems like a dungeon entrance?

Pheonix's one is just the same average screen...

[Mitchfork]

May you please point them out so I could replace them or at least try to edit it so that it'll look better?

Certainly. There's the... uh... well, I don't exactly know what it is, it kind of looks like an orange fireball in the upper middle portion of the screen... also, those oracle trees in the upper right look strange. I much prefer the shading you gave them in the lower left. The rocks look strange in orange, as well. Overall, I would've gone for a more monochrome look than what you achieved- I think that the combination of high contrast and almost random detail really hurt this shot.

[Giggidy]

i like m's shot, remind me of Animal Crossing.

[System Error]

What's with people and their recent obsession with closed corners? It's the detail that makes a screen good, and one corner of the screen that doesn't have something blocking it like how it certainly is in real life doesn't ruin the whole thing.

[Joe Dirt]

I voted for Linkus and now I see we have a three-way tie. How exciting.
