The People's Voice and the Rising Stars

Thumbs up x2

Postby MessengerOfDreams » July 21st, 2013, 2:15 pm

Since there has been a lot going abuzz about how people don't often get a voice and a decision in things, I decided I'd give them a voice in past LDCs. What we have here is The People's Voice, where you decide the order of the top 6 in LDCs. We're starting with the last 10th LDCs: 15th-24th. If you've played the levels, vote for your favorites, and each winner will get a special mention of honor in the LDC Hall of Fame, if that's cool with the mods. If these 10 go well, we'll do ALL the LDCs!

Here's the poll: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LJKQLSS

Also, while you're here, here's a documentation of rising stars: people who showed up in a place of honor (1st-6th) in LDCs that would go on to do amazing things. I'll pick one rising star per LDC, two if it's really warranted.

1st LDC: Volcove (tied 3rd)
2nd LDC: fourinone (tied 3rd)
3rd LDC: MICrophone (tied 2nd), Aznchau4ever (tied 3rd)
4th LDC: Ayrayen (AND HOW!: 4th)
5th LDC: Buffooner (3rd)
6th LDC: Yoshi Boo 118 (4th)
7th LDC: MessengerOfDreams (5th)
8th LDC: Cryokenetic (1st)
9th LDC: nin10mode (3rd)
10th LDC: Venexis (1st in Collab), Mr_SaxMan (3rd)
11th LDC: Star King (6th place), NanTheDark (4th), Master1.0 (5th)
12th LDC: AwesomeJRFD (3rd)
13th LDC: Skjung2034 (4th)
14th LDC: King (1st)
15th LDC: Nworlds (4th)
16th LDC: DarkBlaze (5th)
17th LDC: SuperMIC/MP3 Amplifier (tied 2nd)
18th LDC: None, all the top 10 placers were established in success.
19th LDC: BrawlerEX (2nd)
20th LDC: Blackyoshi (5th)
21st LDC: lordpat (4th in Cave/7th Overall)
22nd LDC: KABOOM (3rd)
23rd LDC: Triple J (4th)
24th LDC: 1018peter (6th)

Silent Conversations and a Crow's Final Song!
My latest story, and one of my personal favorites. A girl bound in silence finds the words to say to her prospective girlfriend as they visit her religious father in a dusty town on the edge of Kansas, where the crows' migration south brings forth anchored memories, the path to resolution, and a new start.

Ah, the 17th LDC. The good old days. <3

I have to say thanks to SMIC actually, because if it weren't for his graphical work on JTTA part 1, I don't think I would have ever learned from my mediocre graphics and have as much notoriety as I do now. So yeah..

I have to say thanks to MoD actually, because if it weren't for his criticsm, I don't think I would have ever learned that I jacked up soo much people with my level's glitches and lag. So yeah..

I've never played enough level entries of the LDCs I didn't mention below.

2nd LDC: fourinone
3rd LDC: fourinone
4th LDC: fourinone
5th LDC: Krazy321
8th LDC: Cryokenetic
9th LDC: I forgot.
10th LDC: Sax
11th LDC: Nan

Maybe I will play them if I'm not too lazy to load them.

Also, copying Amp's post and making a few minor edits could well be classed as postcounting, especially that you already posted in the topic with your 18th LDC success. Try not to do it again. :awe:

^Who are you? :O WHERE'S MY WIFE *gets shot*

Anyhow, I would need to make some kind of study of this whole thing to be able to give a good opinion... Most of these so called epic levels... I haven't played them xD When I entered an LDC, I rarely played someone else's level. So... yeah.

Also, I'm glad some people think my level for the 11th LDC was worth something. :P That was the first real level I ever made...



I think I might actually go over these things and do this survey. I might learn something in the process.
Some day I'll fix my sig.
