Halloween Speedbuild 2 Contest 2014 Winners:

 

 

 

1st place: Briarwood Cathedral (author buck28) 76.44%

 

2nd place: Exhumed (authors Airship Ballet and Kyyrma) 75.80%

 

Calculations:

 

 

 

 

Total Points = (gameplay * 3) + (Appearance * 2) + (Story * 1)

Max Possible = Total Votes * 5 (Outstanding)

Category Score (%) = Category Points /Max Possible * 100

Total Score (%) = Total Points /Total Max Possible * 100

 

 

 

The vote count was equal in all categories for everyone so:

 

TotalMaxPointsPoss (TMP) = AllCategoryVotecount(ACV) * 30

 

Full Weighted Score (FWS) = (Gamescore*3 + Visualscore*2 + Storyscore) / TMP

No offense buck28 but this result was a bit of a surprise with your mission up against the combined efforts of Airship Ballet

and Kyyrma. That said the real deciding factor were the 6 top votes for gameplay in Briarwood vs only 2 in Exhumed.

 

It'll be interesting to watch the votes after the contest and see how these fair over the years. Right now the sample data is so

low this might as well be a tie (but that could also be said of most of our contests, I guess).

Congratulations bucks28 and I really look forward to your next FM

[Airship Ballet]

Ahhh, well done! Really it's only fair that Briarwood topped a 2-week speed build, it's certainly more deserved

[esme]

Personally I'd say that's close enough to a tie to say they both won

[SteveL]

Grats Buck, you must have worked 24/7 on that splendid map! And to Merry and Kyyrma. Both maps were incredible achievements especially for a competition build with a short deadline.

[AluminumHaste]

Yeah I enjoyed em both. Congrats.

[buck28]

HOLY COW! or should I say Burrick. I've never won anything in my life and I am really surprised. Thank you all who played and voted. I really appreciate it, and am honored. It was many hours, but worth every minute.

Just to be able to put contest "Winner" as a designation, is awesome.

[Lux]

Congrats to all three of you and buck28 in particular. Very close and well deserved. A lot of fun and spookiness you all brought to our Halloween. Thanks!

Congrats Buck, well deserved.

Congrats buck28! It's really nice to see some newer mappers create something so well!

@Goldchocobo

 

Thank you sir!

Congratulations to buck28 for a winning entry rich in exploration and mysteries, and to Airship Ballet and Kyyrma for a horrific little gem! The community also wins two good missions! (...and hopefully a few more ones later on...)

[buck28]

Thanks Melan.

I hope to get back to it after the Holidays.

[Goldwell]

(...and hopefully a few more ones later on...)

 

This may happen sooner than you think

 

Also congratulations to all contestants for their awesome FMs!

Between the two, I only played Exhumed so far. I can tell you it gave me some good scares... so +1 to that I shall certainly try Briarwood Cathedral as well soon!
