Glacier Peak Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) The monster mash was a lot of fun! Edit: Oh and Synroc and SONAR's costumes are amazing! Edited May 18, 2021 by Glacier Peak Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmoyer Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I’d like to note that, on Everlasting at least, there were so many contestants that the renderer dropped half of them for me (and I suspect, many others)! (not pictured: everybody on the other half of the steps...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporalVileTerror Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I was actually just about to mention that, @pjmoyer! That even seems to be the case with the official picture: I was standing just to the left of the shot, and there were at least three times as many people rendering next to me than what this image shows. That's unfortunate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Is there a dev tool setting that increases or maximizes the render distance/object quantity? I am curious if there is, and if said dev or GM has a powerful enough system, could they manage to get everybody in a contest like this? I use /visscale # (where the number ranges from lowest of 1, to highest of 20). Would that help render more players or is that just objects/geometry? 1 Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever....

TemporalVileTerror Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 One of the GMs -did- say something to that effect in the Admin channel on Everlasting, @Glacier Peak. Specifically in regard to the stream that @GM Tempest was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herotu Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Brilliant! Good job everybody! ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalSpiro Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) I are disappoint. I got pulled aside after the thing for a finalist pic, but none of the finalists are featured. I'll just add my own, cause I got my special title today too Edited May 19, 2021 by KalSpiro 2 3 Virtue Shard: Quick Shot Kid Liberty Vanguard Gleaming Spark Shadow Squirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugshot Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Hey look! It's me, Prof Skullface! One of the finalists on Everlasting. Synroc is/was amazing. Sonar is incredible - I don't know if I could have chosen between Sonar and Synroc. Please Defcon X - get a pic of yourself here. That was too amazing to not share. I'd love to see all of the finalists too. And Liberty Vanguard - I didn't even see you that day. But that is a fantastic get-up. It's totally inspired me for my next one 🙂 Edited May 19, 2021 by Mugshot Comment on others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalSpiro Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Defcon X has been one of my favorite costumes for a long time, I was not surprised at all that he was called.

Great Briton Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Thanks for putting this on, was great finally making it to one of these since I've a terrible habit of forgetting events and was almost too late for this one 😬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordicon Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Who were the judges what was the scoring criteria? Why did you pick the ones you did? Make it more like the Olympics and grade their back story as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it more like the Olympics and grade their back story as well. The GM's were the judges, the criteria was based on the theme for the contest. You are new around here, aren't you? It would have taken them longer to go through each bio on Everlasting with the contestants AND costume judging, so no. I don't think so. If they were getting paid to GM here, then that might be up for suggestion but it's not. They donate their time to do things like this, the very least you could do is allow them their freedom of choice and participation. 4 Roleplaying mentor volunteer, and mentorship contributor.
