Phase II of ModDB contest [Updated Info!]
« on: November 15, 2006, 08:39:03 pm »
[The contest is over, thanks for voting!]

[New information concerning the ModDB Contest!]
Looks like the phase 1 nominations are done. Tremulous and 4 other standalone games made it into the top 100. 3 of those mods are unreleased and I see no problems with them. The other mod is 'Warsow' a deathmatch type game that is fairly popular.

The voting ends on January 1st, and I'm fairly certain you need a moddb account for the votes to count. So, if you want me to release those pretty maps I showed in the promo vid... or want me to get a new computer for belated christmas please register and vote for Tremulous!

Also note that you are allowed three votes, so feel free to vote for two other mods, but if you vote for other standalone games as well as Tremulous, we won't have quite as good a chance of winning.


[Old info down below]
Hello.  

Mod DB has a nifty little contest every year where people vote for their favorite mods.  One of the categories this year is "Standalone Game of the Year" which I think we have a shot at.  

So here's the deal:  The prize is some alienware computer and $1000 and I want it (yeah it'll get split up between the devs somehow)  

Instructions:
FIRST:YOU HAVE TO REGISTER WITH MODDB.   You can still vote without doing so, but it only will count in the case of a tie... which is lame.  Lame lame lame.
SECOND: VOTE.
THIRD:  PROFIT FOR ME.

"But OverFlow," you may ask, "what's in it for me?!"  Well I'm glad you ask.  Nothing really.  But I'll make a nice promise for you.  If we win, I'll have a new map done (which is pretty much done) a new human model finished (which is pretty close to done) first person weapon animations completed (which are pretty not close to done) and I'll prod Timbo a bunch about the new patch.  All of this before you can say an extremely long and hard to say word.

Pretty sweet deal, huh?

I will only vote if every penny of that $1000 goes into development for Tremulous!
But I'll vote anyway. No point in not.

If we win, promise to shave at least 16 minutes off the planned release date?

We've just had a discussion which involved thinking about working on tremulous!  So yes, quite possibly!

There's a link in the upper left that says: "Join Mod DB"

I believe that should do it.  The mail system seems to be a bit slow.  Please have patience.  Just think of all the cool reactor shooting guns and aliens that fly and infect humans with their long range spike shooting goodness that you might imagine coming into tremulous even though it will never happen.

You must have done something to opera because mine worked fine.

You should at least try to use opera to start talking crap again.

I second that.

For the record, my vote wasn't purely out of guilt for not donating to you guys (honest) You deserve to win.

(I can also sleep again after 'doing my bit')

Looks like with all the voting for Trem, the ModDB folks finally noticed that it exists.  It’s pretty positive review if I do say so myself.

But this doesn't mean you slackers who haven't voted are off the hook!  That was a wild supposition I just made, and by no means guarantees myself getting a shiny new computer!

If you guys win you guys should synchronize the timer with the buildables sometimes when the reactoc or any other buildable is completed it still doesnt function because of the timer.The only buildables that are synchronized with the timer is the tesla and hive.
