Eric_Smith Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is anyone interested? I see 17 downloads and no replys. Does anyone have anything to say about the contest? Is the template bad? Is it the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I downloaded and I'm working on it. Not sure if I'll enter, but it gives me something to do in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Well, i kinda just made a pretty cool spinning coaster, but its a bit insane and outside the boundaries of the contest... otherwise, i could have it done easily within the next week.

Sasquatch Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Station all done, i currently have no idea what im actually going to do track-wise but it looks pretty! EDIT: Trackwork is nearly done, but I can't for the life of me get it to 2000ft. I also noticed on RCDB that there isnt a spinning coaster that is that long, could you possibly reduce it? Like 1750ft or something?? Station! DROOOOLLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Track all done, supports like 70% done, anyone else still doing this or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 ^Yeah! About 5 people have said they are workin on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerdw Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Do the supports have to be inside the boundaries? Can the heartline be above the max height as long as the track is below it? Here's what I have done so far. I don't think this is breaking any rules. I got over 2000 feet of track to fit into just the red area. Now I'm not sure if I want to try to support all of this by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Due to reasons I'm unable to explain, Eric can no longer run this contest so he has left me in charge from now on. If you have any questions regarding his dismissal, don't ask me, ask Robb. In case your worried, I'm not changing the rules of this contest or anything. Just continue as you are and the contest will go on as it has. Now let that be the end of the matter. Do the supports have to be inside the boundaries?Can the heartline be above the max height as long as the track is below it? If the rules don't mention it, assume that your allowed to do it. Yes you can have the heartline above the boundary as long as the track stays below it. I assume the supports can leave it on that basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any questions regarding his dismissal, don't ask me, ask Robb. Eric was banned for his poor attitude. He'd been given multiple reprieves, and still felt he was above the posting rules. His actions after the ban yesterday, proved that a permanent ban was the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean theres been 5 people that I know who have been banned and to be honest I'm not really sure that they deservered it. Is there even a policy sbout banning here of is just ban those who talk out of line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 PLEASE NOTE: For your safety (on this forum), I would advise each of you NOT to ask me to get involved in a project with you. The last 3 members who have done this have all been banned... Coincidence? Maybe...but I wouldn't take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there even a policy sbout banning here of is just ban those who talk out of line? I can only think of two.......ok, really only one. We really don't ban people very often. You guys have to remember that you only see a very small portion of member's posts, and you never see their PM's. Some members (like Eric) have had a long history of issues, and we finally decide it's just time for one of the sides to move on. That being said, Dr. Gumbo is running this show, so let's keep it going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Its the 7th now, and the contest ended on the 2nd. Since I made a little boob there, I'll extend the entry time too the 9th of August. Count this as a little reminder since I forgot to give you one a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
