2005 Match-up Contest (Round 3) - WINNERS pg11

I have even more exams too. I have 6 of them all around the time of the final. But i still want to go through. But it looks unlikely.

i'm actually happy now that i was DQ'ed. Monday starts exams and then i really wouldn't have time to learn... But still CJD, i'm wondering where my rate is that i asked for [;)] Take your time, but on the end i still want it [:D]

Sorry, Dirk, I forgot all about rating your coaster. It has been a very stressful week and a half, and I have had limited time. I'll get to it eventually...

yeah, i kinda wish my ride from the last round was rated, too, but w/e, you don't have to.

hey, nearly half term ,that means im off school and have plenty of time to work on a coaster, although i will have lots of revision too! Just starting a convo until we have somthing else to talk about. LOL

Since this contest has dragged on into many people's final exam weeks, I would like to schedule the final round at a time that does not have schedule conflicts. Could all 7 of you that are still in the contest please tell me what the best time would be? We can get this event going at an appropriate time if there is a good amount of overlap.

I don't have any hard exams next time, so I let the others decide

anytime. the sooner the better.

Buster.

I don't see how exams prevent people from being able to spend time on an NL coaster. If anything, its school that does that. The people who say they didn't have much time to work on their track because of exams are just making up excuses for why their coaster didn't turn out so good.

No, i have alot of GCSE exams coming up. They arent the final ones as i am only in year 10 but i do have some. They are spread out all over june though, and we cant wait that long, so it doesnt matter, just go ahead with the comp. [:D]

same for me.
nothing really serious to make so I have plenty of time.

Yeah, I'd like to start ASAP if I get past MF2001...

I don't think I need to bother asking Tyler, since he has all the tools to make his track with, and maybe spends 10 hours max on his entries. I will finish the ratings ASAP, and the finals will begin 1 day later. I will be giving you 2 weeks for this round, so that should give everyone plenty of time.

^ Which is really annoying as he gets very high rates just for 10 hours work.

others spend ''years'' and try to smooth their tracks out and tyler takes 10 hours of his life to make an awesome ride[:p]

yeah well life's not fair...

anyway- two weeks!
yeaahhh, finally enough time to make a bit better ride.

Actually my finals were when I was working on my last one (Round 3), which was part of why it wasn't quite as good as I would have liked. I'm in to summer classes now... BTW, 10 hours is on the low side. Most of mine are longer. Magic Carpet Ride was 25 or 30, Phantom Steel nearly 50.

then sorry tyler

I hope you can forgive me[:D]

magic carpet ride is awesome.
I could think of seing it as a ''cool design''.

Yeah tyler, we were exagerating a bit. And we did say your rides are very good, it was a compliment. [:D]

any progress cjd? i know im not in this, i just wanna see the next rules and tempelate.

yeah me too, although i am in it, but wont be for much longer

I just finished rating the first coaster. I will keep working on the ratings, and the next round will probably begin on Wednesday or Thursday.

friday.......


can you at least post who's moving on, then the rates? we're anxious!! hehe. j/k take your time [:)]

I was just officially kicked out of Mercer University, so i had to give my laptop back to them. My dad's computer does not have a 3d graphics accelerator, so the only way I can rate the coasters is on my office computer. I will try to get the ratings done when I go back to work on Monday, but this issue has really set me back. I apoligize for the extended delay.

im sorry to hear you got kicked out of college.
thats gotta be a rough time for you. hopefully you get straightened on track

good luck.

I hope you aren't serious? By that you mean that summer vacation has started and you were only borrowing the lap top?

Damn man. That sucks. Good luck trying to get back on track man.
