Jyo's Benediction [Round 5: Wrath] You Can Still Join!

[camaro 09]

i though my design would be the worst hahahaha

[Jyo]

Round 3 and Round 2 results up!

[uuuiiiooop]

Do the squares have to be flat in the slot, or can they be tilted and kind of half in?

Also, what happens if there is a tie? All winners get 2 points?

Tilted is fine by my standards, just as long as it stays there.

If there's a tie, then yes, all the winners will get 2 points

[schmittd]

haha just kidding

[uuuiiiooop]

Don't post it!
PM it to Jyo, but don't put it up for everyone to see, they'll take your design ideas >.>
I'm already done so don't worry about me

[Jyo]

Round 3 Results and Round 4 are up!

i think you might want to disallow powered or you may have people sending in designs with thousands of longways in a row by means of a monorail or repeating pult. in other words, i think everyone would go for cheapness...

[camaro 09]

yea, i saw that one longway comp, 155 longways... no fair at all

[jdccdj1]

i agree with the guys above...here is a repeater pult whipped up in 5 minutes that with some small tweaking, will go on forever: http://www.fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=11572793

maybe brown or can't go around the same static twice in a row would be some decent challenges....anyway, that's my 2 cents,

[Jyo]

righto; i did mean to include that!

and btw jdc,
a design has to yield a solution for the longways to count,
so your example design would be a total of 0 longways, since it never actually solves

thot id let yoo (and everyon else i guess) no, just incase

hehe :D

i know what you mean about the design has to yield a solution, jyo....i was just showing those who didn't know, what RL was talking about...besides, with a few simple mods, i could get the repeater pult to longway as many time as i wanted before yielding a solution....now, since we are on the subject, is it against the rules to go around 2 statics, then 1 static, then around 2 again, then back around 1 again and so on until a solution has been met?...it wouldn't be the same static (as per the rules), but would be the same combo...anyway, thanx

mm... to be safe im gonna say thatz a no-go.

I want this round to be a true long-way contest,
rather than a how-long-can-you-delay-the-solution round.

im not saying you cant go around the same static twice,
but i dont want any of that cheap stuff happening.

i think a good rule of thumb is,
if you have to ask me if it's valid, then it probably isn't.

thanx for clarifying, jyo....

[rlbabits]

thanx for clarifying, jyo....

heheh thats what she said.

[camaro 09]

i vote for the deadline to be tomorrow...

[Skips]

i vote for the deadline to be tomorrow...

That's optimistic given the game isn't working at the moment, and solves cannot be viewed.
EDIT: Apparantly the game fixed itself about 3 minutes after I wrote this. Fair enough.

[rlbabits]

results/next round? i can has?

[Jyo]

Round 4 results and Round 5 up!

I'm really sorry it took so long.
I was planning on posting on the friday before I went to New York,
but as we all know, FC crashed for a bit.
So I had to wait until I got back (last night) to get things started again.

Best regards
