    Smile Launched Coaster Contest: Dragon Vs. Apal/Joshmonster

    Ok so here is a new contest where you must build a launched coaster. I need 3 judges. The coaster must be finished by November 7th. Just ask to be a judge or to enter. By the way all judges must PM me by November 13th for their vote to count. Anyone may also PM me if you want any rules to be added. Good Luck!

    Contestants:
    Dragon: http://www.sscoasters.net/coasters/r...2/ocelot-1188/
    Alpal/Josh Monster: http://www.sscoasters.net/coasters/r.../nitrous-1189/

    Re: Launched Coaster Contest

    Your going to want to have a much longer deadline if you want anyone to enter. Most active builders are currently building a coaster and are not going to cancel it and start a completely new one for an unofficial contest. In my opinion you should extend the contest deadline till the end of October if you want anyone to enter but even so, no one may enter.

    Re: Launched Coaster Contest

    So many questions.
    1. Can I be a judge
    2. Why do the judges need to PM you?
    Ok, not as many questions as I thought.
    Also - The deadline has to be longer due to the fact that Summer Heat is going on, and to the fact that no body can build a proper coaster in less than 4 weeks.

    I tottally forgot about summer heat, thanks for letting me know. The judges should PM me because other wise every one is going to know their vote! I think the winner should just be announced at the end of the competition. Oh and yes you may judge.

    Well then you could change the scores if we PM them to you and then you post them.

    But why would I ever do that? I mean I'm not voting for anyone. And after the contest, and I announce the winner the judges can post who they voted for. Sound fair? Well, I have to get going on my second flight back home!!!

    Re: Launched Coaster Contest

    I'm not joining nor judging, but this contest really isn't set up at a very good time and with enough guidance. We're in the middle of Summer Heat, so people won't want to enter 2 contests back to back. Not to mention, there are no limits or restrictions, so it's really difficult when it comes to judging and it'll be not very fair to participants (I would know, with the NL contest). I would make sure you have the OK by staff or someone powerful on here that it's OK to have. Not trying to be pessimistic, merely truthful.

    Yes you can judge. How you judge is when then deadline is over, you click on my name, and a few things will pop up. You click on send a private message, and in it tell me who's launched coaster you think is the best!

    Re: Launched Coaster Contest

    Josh monster and I might want to enter a coaster from our amusement park. I will get back to you about it.

    What's better than one rollercoaster? How about 5 of them?

    If only I had more space/pieces/time.

    Re: Launched Coaster Contest

    We will enter! That is if we finish in time, if not enough people are done by the time the deadline hits could you extend it? Is there any height restrictions or anything? This is going to be fun! hoping to win my first competition!

    The winner is... Josh and Alpal! Nice work to both contestants. Both coasters were great! Remember it's just the thought that counts.
