General GRV II Discussion

[BarbyW]

It isn't that difficult and I think the rest of them are a lot of wimps.

[soulchaser]

The most difficult thing was the choice of pics. I didn't want to show anything twice nor forget anything important.
Maybe most of them are waiting for the last day because they don't want to inspire any opponents

[threestooges]

I may be waiting for the last minute, but I have no intention of asking for a time extension. Finals approach (and papers are coming due, etc) which has been keeping my busy. The challenge is fine as it is, and I should have some pics for you all by the end of the weekend.

Sheesh, ma'am.  SC4 played for keeps.  The Terminatrix.

...you are only inspiring us all to greater endeavor...

Well my challenge is now posted, took my time and ignored the taunts of "The Terminatrix" 

Hey Fred, just one thing. As part of your description of Challenge 3, you suggested that we show some of our own work (LE etc).
I found this a bit difficult as we were limited to five pics to show development in the region, there wasn't any scope for close-ups, in my case anyway. I know it's not an actual task for Challenge 3, but perhaps we could be allowed two extra pic's in each challenge to showoff anything we consider of interest.

Just a thought

There will be another time that you will be asked for to show pictures of Your custom lots. This time it is not a obligation. The maximum pictures are 5 for this challenge only, because it will be too much work to see all the pictures of everybody and juge them properly. I hope You understand.

The weather is nice and beautiful here in Québec and I am often in the garden, but not always like mrb says. He always exagerate.
Fred is gone fishing for the today, I think it is open for trout today.

All I can say is that all the cities look wonderful and I wish I had 1/10th of the dedication to making beautiful cities like everyone participating in this challenge is doing. 

When I play the game, I try to avoid the "grid" and use the land features, but over time, I end up going into "grids" and the cities turn horrible, to the point I destroy the cities and start over again and again.

Great job by everyone, and I love the challenges that have been presented so far, looking forward to part 5 and seeing what the governor has in mind 

[turtle]

Hey mike.
I also found myself doing that, which is kind of why I participate. I think the challenges keeps me more focused. So if you're up to posting once in a while, you definately should play the next time GRV comes around. It is really great fun

Lynn, I'm not sure I understand correctly, but are you implying that we at some point will be challenged to show off our own custom lots?

[mrbisonm]

Lynn is busy judging Challenge 3....lol....so I will reply to your question Turtle.
Yes, there will be a time when you need to show your customlots, whether they are BATs, Lots made in the LE or just several lots plopped together to make a bigger one, something like a park etc. Everyone will be able to do something like this and we are not asking to go and learn how to BAT.
These will be judged in three categories to give everybody a chance, but we get to that later. Of course we won't tell you the *hick* though.......hehehe.......
Remember every challenge upwards will be a little harder until you drop dead, no until the end of it all.
                                                           
Good luck

Thanks Mike 3775 for dropping in and leaving a comment.



Fred

[mrbisonm]

I'll be leaving for the airport to Germany, Holland and Poland in two hours, so from here on Lynn will take over.
Hope you can all handle this without me......lol.....like big boys and girls. Be back on Monday and if I have the time I will drop in with my portable once in awhile now that I have Saty connection.

Good luck

Fred

[threestooges]

We'll try to keep it together for you (now that we've all split apart, heh heh). Enjoy your trip Fred.

[mrbisonm]

Well, I'm back and I see Lynn did a good job in keeping the peace. Thanks Lynn.

Now, may I remind you all that the limit for challenge 4 is next sunday night ( May 17th, 2009 at midnight NY time) and there will be no delays unless you have one heck of a good reason that you didn't have the time to fulfill the demands of your separatists in 2 weeks!
I hope that this will work out fine this time within the timelimits stated. Thanks.

I see that Lynn has managed to post all the points for every individual that I have finished earlier last week before leaving and tonight I will post the updated pointagesheet.

Good luck everyone,

Fred

EDIT: Please go and judge my challenge 3 now. Thank you

[BarbyW]

Good to see you back, Fred, although we didn't miss you - Lynn looked after things very well indeed.

[mrbisonm]

BarbyW, Thanks for missing me thaaaaat much.....

Reminder for those who have not posted their challenge 4 yet:

There's a little over 24 hours left to do so. I will be patient and maybe give you some extra hours, but in the morning of monday (NYtime) I will post the challenge 5 and everything posted after this will NOT be taken into consideration of judging.
Sorry, but we have no other choice, you had two weeks to make this challenge, that was more than enough even for the busiest fellow, like me.

Here are those who have not finished it yet:
