Ok it was only my opinion. You don't have to agree with me.

Fair enough, but since it your opinion is in contrast to the actual rules theres no need to accuse people of cheating or being unfair because of it ;)

I skim read to get to the interesting bit:p :o

I'd like some feedback on my site too: http://devoted.to/worms3d
thanks.
Nice, but the header takes up half the screen.. Lemme guess, your monitor has more pixels than 1024x768 ? something like 1280x960, 1280x1024 or 1600x1200?

Yeah It's cool, beautiful :D. However you have this site longer so in my opinion it's unfair to take part in the competition.
Hmm, clearly you completely ignored my post on the subject, so I'll just make the point again... which do you think T17 would prefer to make their official fansite: The site made by someone who just wants to win that sparkly new pc and then probably won't bother updating the site, or the site that has already been running for a while without the incentive of the competition and thus is much more likely to continue being updated?

BTW: I'm not meaning to say that none of the sites made specifically for this compo will win - infact I doubt my own chances due to the number of great entries made for the compo, but I think rostek's view that sites that weren't made specifically for this compo are somehow cheating by entering is rather silly.

I agree with rostek.

I think it would be best to remove the sites that were there before the competition.


PS: Whatever reason the contestants had to join the competition, the winner(who will have the best website). Will most likely continue his work.

I mean.... of course... if they choose a stupid stolen-template or a stupid 1 page website or those other amateur websites as winner... i doubt those people will put their time in updating/advancing their website. But the "pro's" will.... imo...

I'm one of two leaders of a rather large gaming clan, we update our site 4/5 times a day. It would be silly to think that i would leave that other website to rot after i win... so your conclusion isn't correct.

I didn't say you personally would, but you are only 1 person in a group of many, and just because you would keep updating the site doesn't mean everyone would - whereas someone who is already running a worms site without the incentive of the competition most definately will continue updating the site, no question about it. Obviously I'm taking this side in the argument because my site has been going for a while already, and you're taking the other side because you only made yours because of the competition, if we were in each other's shoes we'd be saying the opposite... but all the same, how is it fair to say that someone who has been running a website for a while should not be allowed to take part in this competition, just because they already wanted to do it even without the competition? Its not like I put any less work into my site than you, so what makes you a more worthy contestant than me? Infact, I put in just as much work as anyone else here, I totally changed the site design and added W3D content (which the site didn't have previously, it was just w2/wa/wwp). Not that theres any point in the argument anyway, T17 have already made the rules :)

I have 1024x768 because: 800x600 is too small to have all my icons on the desktop (I have about 70) 1020x960 the colours are weird. 1400x1050 is too small. And I don't have 1600x1200 as an option. I did change the header to 40% though because it was causing some trouble.

Gshot,

I don't have any intention to infringe the rules and I will never do it !

I have simply asked an opinion on my site.

Sorry it must have been my mistake, it was just that as soon as round 1 closed I looked at alll the sites that had entered. And when I looked at your site again today when you asked for an opinion, there seemed to be more pictures and content. Also in your updates section you mention that you will add the patch within sunday evening. This comment is written on 21 November. But then above you say that you have added the patch. But you write that this was done on the 21 November.

Anyway thats why I assumed you have infringed the rules and updated your site after round 1.

Like I said before I thin kyour site looks really good.

In response to the winner updating his site, I also agree it is more likely to be an already exsisting site that will be constantly updated, however I'm sure that there are many devoted Worms fans that would want to keep updating their sites (like me!).

Maybe the Top 10 entrants should have to state why they should be chosen to win (i.e. what can they/their site offer to the Worms community?).

Initially I was a confused after having written the last news of the site (21 november). It was not me well clear the concept....

"I can adjourn after November 21?"

In the doubt, I wrote Here on the forum a post :

Page Number 15 in this discussion:

Is my site enrolled to the competition... but now that on November 21 has passed.. I can still adjourn the site?????

anybody answer to my message therefore.. I still wrote

InOkI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is my site enrolled to the competition... but now that on November 21 has passed.. I can still adjourn the site?????

Because I should still add some section,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Answer please


After the message has been answered me I have understood everything and I didn't have the doubt anymore.

Cannot be updated after November 21!

And so has been done! I have not updated and I won't update!

Unfortunately in the news is written there that would have adjourned, but I didn't know about that rule! Have just discovered that rule, I have stopped! in fact now I won't adjourn up to when they won't give us the ok to continue!


I hope to have been clear! Friends as before!

and.... I am happy that you like the site! :D

As the cut off time was not mentioned on the flash microsite, all entires recieved on the cut off date will be included.

The comprehensive list of sites that will be judged will appear today on the microsite.

the FAQs state :
Q: How much can I update my site once it has been submitted for Round One?
A: As much as you like - up until the Round One cut-off date.

This is still the case. However, we did not take a note of the content of everyones site on the closing date - and websites are ever changing things, so each site will be judged as it appears on the day of judging.

It is written "to 21-th Nov" so we can add site every day and it doesn't say we have 3 weeks, so we have to submit our site earlier.
I sent 3 mails to administrators today , nevertheless I haven't got any reply yet.What do you think As you see I'm also waiting for any reply, however I don't see if any administrator is going to answer our question. You have changed topic. What do you think about my problem?? Why any of administrators didn't answer my question? It's unfair. You sent 3 mails.

Thats´a quite original site you got there. But I experienced some problems with it though.

One of the link images on the site is broken, I just get a "x could not load" image there...

Also, did you try the site in different resolutions because I'm runnin 1280*1024 and it looks kinda strange, change your resolution and see for your self.

Except for the flaws mentioned above I think it's a nice site.

24 Nov 2003, 16:17
thatnks, ill check the res. thing now. If you get the 'can not load image thing', just refresh. Happens sumtimes..dunno y :-/

EDIT: I see what your talkin about with the 1280*1024. Its because my IFrame is centred in the page. I just hope t17 are viewing 1024*768 :)

You could try to preload the mouse over images, that might fix the image error.

Dunno what sort of mouseover script you're using but this is what I used for a similar script:

<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('xxx1.jpg','xxx2.jpg','xxx3.jpg', 'xxx4.jpg')">

Just an example, might not work for you, but it should be something similar. The above is the one used with Macromedia generated scripts.

Since you're working with frames I don't know really, try preloading everywhere and the remove some and see if it still works, the you should be able to narrow down where to put your preloading.

Also, as I posted before, the script example I posted might not work for you at all, depends on the script... I think :P

I'm not that good with mouseover image thingys at all :)

Judging will be done as soon as possible, so sit tight and wait to see if your website makes it into Round Two. As soon as we have decided on the 10 lucky webmasters we will let you know!

There is no set date when the judging will be complete by - it takes time. As soon as we know you will know!

I am having problems with my site : www.worms3.cjb.net. My site is uploaded in freewebs but for some reasons I am having great problem to access my site or www.freewebs.com. I also noticed that another site is in freewebs : twf3d - http://www.freewebs.com/twf3d - in which I can not enter either. The problem started yesterday and it still remains.

I decided to upload my site in geocities today (Hope it's not too late) My new adress is http://www.geocities.com/worms3dt/


[I have sent this post as a mail to Sel.]




-------------UPDATE-----------------------------------

I forgot that my site is in cjb.net... that means my URL is clocked. So I just entered cjb.net and changed the url! My site is still ----- > www.worms3.cjb.net

SORRY! But in case you had problems accessing my site (or a "competitors" site) I wanted you to know. I was too anxious....

They may be having server problems, as their site was running quite slowly.

If their server was at 100%+ load, then you wouldn't have been able to access any content on their servers, including your website

Each website is being judged on the following - navigation (quality/functionality), use of webkit (quality/quantity), design (aesthetic and programming), content and originality. For each category there is a maximum of 20 marks up for grabs. This suggest that they are actually judging content, which is a bad thing for a lot of sites. I am hoping that Team17 are looking for sites with potential instead of, for example, sites that are already finished because they were made prior to the competiton.

Waiting for them to finishing judging doesn't bother me that much because I am doing my GCSE Mocks at the moment and I am so busy revising.

Team17 have to sift through 100 entries, they have to evakuate them fairly and probably have about 5 people giving their scores for presentation and content etc and then take an average. Doing this about 4 times for each website and for 100 websites isn't going to be as easy as you thought.

Overall I think the judging was quite fair... except mainly for this site:

http://www.pinkstarentertainment.de/worms3d/

I really don't think it deserves to be there. It takes ages to load on a 56k connection, it has the coconut song (which is copyright and I don't believe this site has permission to use it), the navigation is terrible - took me ages to even notice those were links, and theres no content whatsoever.

No, good graphics attract people at first glance, content keeps them coming back for more. Content, in the long run, is much more important. Just look at www.slashdot.org - not the prettiest site in the world, not by far, but it is visited regularly by tens of thousands of people.

Hmm. Yeah, some of the sites only display correctly at 1024x768 or above but I'm guessing that when Team17 contact the finalists next week they'll point out problems that need to be fixed, i.e. lack of content, resolution, high bandwidth requirements etc. I think the sites were judged on not what they are now, but what they could be with the added motivation of being in the second round.

Its quite interesting to think that whoever wins is going to have serious problems if they've not got a hefty enough ISP package to take all the hits they'll be getting on their site. Some of the Geocities and other free hosted sites went down straight away because they had huge flash files that sapped thair alloted bandwidth.

I think what he's trying to say is that he considers it unfair that he worked hard to put lots of content on his site, yet you say sites were judged on what they could become, so that empty sites have been chosen instead of his site which he put more effort into actually making into a site with some content. He thinks its unfair to judge sites on what they could be, since any site could be made to look great and have loads of content - the point is that by the time the competition was judged these sites were not better, since no one is likely to visit a website with no content more than once. And he says that as for the graphics of the website, many of the sites that didn't get to round 2 look better than some of those that did.

I'm not saying these are my viewpoints btw, just trying to translate Inoki's :)

The word 'demo' website appeared in the rules of the webkit microsite. Not sure where it came from, but it confused people and made them think we were looking for a simple 'template' and gave them chance to update their site for round 2.

due to this, we thought it fair to be very light on the content side of the competition of now. We have 10 good entries, and 50% will not be good enough for a prize.

We have some ideas for the loosing 100 sites too, though so don't feel too bad.

We are not going to give out our score cards : rule 4 - "The judges decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into."

its a shame that not everyone got through. It was a very tough job, and some people are dissapointed. It was bound to happen.

The word 'demo' website appeared in the rules of the webkit microsite. Not sure where it came from, but it confused people and made them think we were looking for a simple 'template' and gave them chance to update their site for round 2.

due to this, we thought it fair to be very light on the content side of the competition of now. We have 10 good entries, and 50% will not be good enough for a prize.

We have some ideas for the loosing 100 sites too, though so don't feel too bad.

We are not going to give out our score cards : rule 4 - "The judges decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into."

its a shame that not everyone got through. It was a very tough job, and some people are dissapointed. It was bound to happen.

Yeah when i seen DEMO i guessed it just meant a template of what it will look like, so thats what i done....now i come an visit here and i find everyone saying the ones without content shouldnt of got through....an the members saying the winner will be 'ihaveworms' cause it has the most content. Bit unfair to judge so quickly.

That sucks, I was more focussed on content side. :o

We're not at it to say "FU, my site is only 1 point less than.." or "FU, my site is way better than.."

its just a standard cookie cutter design like you find on a million other sites. but yeah it does look nice. but most of the others are easy to navigate too an look nice, an the effort will probably be put into the rest now there into the 2nd round. just saying its unfair to judge a winner now when none of them are finished thats all....as it might influence the judges decision too.

To be fair, don't ALL sites nowadays have a design that's been seen somewhere else? I mean, the Internet has been around for a good 5+ years, so how many different ways can there possibly be to display a webpage (considering aesthetics, colors, layout, and navigation) ?


Plus, even if you DID manage to make a completely bad-ass page with a layout that has NEVER been made before, you would want to present it to a company to sell it, not just for some little 'fansite' that will only give you self-gratification.



Whoever wins will have to fight me in the car park for that PC though!
Why? :confused:
That PC doesn't sound so good -- the last Packard Bell PC I saw here in the US was in 1999, and it was an old crappy one.

I didn't even think they made those anymore, until I saw it was a prize for this compo...

Yeah, but I was referring to webpages on the internet.

Also, notice I put a plus in there (5+), indicating more than 5 years... but I guess I should have said, "webpages have been around for 10 years"...


And another thing, the ARPANET for the US DoD came first in 1969, but it only connected 3 computers in CA to 1 computer in UT. Then came JANET in 1974, and Usenet in 1981.

I don't know if I should even persue finishing it, though.

The whole site seems kind of pointless.


I guess I just wanted to see if I could re-create the same feel of the W3D Front-end, and I was happy enough with the results.


Now, I'd just like to make a Flash-and-Database page, that would hold everyone's Random Level Generator codes, with the ability to post a description and picture for each one.
That would be useful.

Hi Folx,

i´m about to figure out a nice competetion. First i wanted to create a flash based game where the player have to throw a worm over a green grassland. The player who threw the worm the largest would win the competition.... but, its a pitty, i don´t have the time to realize it. I hope i can fiugre out another competetion witch would be funny, or good, too.

The discussion about the best site is really hard. I think there are many great sites in the final round, and most of them are bloody good. I´m thrilled to death witch site will make it. ;)

Thanks for reading.

Ooooh! Gettin' a bit nervous now compo buddies! May the best site win!

It's hard to believe that we've been working on these things since October last year; that's six months!!!

that's six months!!!

Doesn't seem like two minutes since the competition was launched!

The best thing about it being a long comp is that it gives us an idea of who will continue to update their site after the comp has finished.

The winner will become the official Worms 3D fansite. So we don't want to choose a winner who will just take the prizes and run!

A couple of the round 2 sites have recently become dead links.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe those sites were hosted on free-space accounts and couldn't take the bandwidth load.

I think it's too late for that, considering they would prolly not have a compo.. ;)

Speaking of which, has my email arrived?

The owner is DEAD? Or the site is dead? I don't get it..


By the way, Sel, would you be so kind to update my link @ Goodies::Webkit section?

Well, the guy just emailed me once and dissapeared!...

Here's the email in full:

You have won signed artwork from my competition on
www.amazingworms3d.prv.pl. Please send me your name, surname and address.

I sent the mon what was needed, but got no further reply...

This is the first time i win something online that requires mailing, so i'm a bit confused here. Everyone is a newb at something once in a life...

6 Apr 2004, 22:55
So you, me, Paul.Power, and mocoworm have all won the art... cool.
I didn't get a reply back, but since it was at WormBag, and I know Vinge isn't dead, I'm happy.

Anyway, here's my personal opinion of the entries:
http://www.amazingworms3d.prv.pl/ - an ok design, not sure about the content, isn't completely up-to date.
http://test.t0rsiontk.co.uk/worms/ - 404
http://www.raytracing.co.uk/worms3d/ - great design, original content, great graphics work. Has current news.
http://www.computerbackup.com/igotworms/ - some funny, original content here. Worms sign language? Genius.
http://worms.dius.org/ - 404
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jamie.mac1/worms/ - Some original content, a good design, a few 404s as well though.
http://treeuser.digitaldream.nl/worms/ - nice design, plenty of content, up-to-date news. And a good competition. ;)
http://www.funkypixels.net/worms3d/ - I don't really like this. Dodgy frameset, not really that up-to-date.
http://www.guytucker.co.uk/worms3d/ - "New Round 2 Design to allow more content coming soon." It's dead.
http://worms.iamclan.com/ - ok design, some good content, but I don't think the competition's worked out.

So for me this puts it between Definitive Worms 3D, WormBag, and I Got Worms.

Well, since Team17 sends out the prizes and Vinge already sent the list of winners to Sel, i guess your stuff is already en-route:)

Btw. what exactly is this signed artwork anyway? I've won something i don't have a clue about...

The prizes for the internal comps will be sent when we have received all of the winners details. Still waiting for a few sites to send them in...

The artwork itself is cool, (printed using our NEW printer!!) and is signed on the back. Top prize!

*sigh*
I hate when people don't understand sarcasm
What do you mean by "asked 5 questions in your competition"? If you think that i haven't answered enough of them, it is only because i didn't look for the other answers(i didn't want the W3D game, since i already have it, so i aimed for the artwork instead)

I'm amazed that I Got Worms hasn't been updated yet. Patrick, if you're reading this, don't let this opportunity go to waste!

That said, I'm not sure how prestigious the award of "Official Fan Site" is because Team 17 don't appear to be promoting it (other than in the webkit section of the Worms 3D site)

I did update my site. Also, about the computer...If and when I ever get the computer I will let people know on my website. As of yet there is no computer and Team 17 said they aren't handling it Sega is sending the computer out. Also, I am working on an addition to I Got Worms, a Worms Fort Super Section along with other small updates. Team 17 hasn't givin' me any new content to update my site so updating is a bit slow. Sorry for the wait...Worm On!

There isn't any content to give out at the moment, the official W3D website has lacked in content recently also. It’s just mainly news that goes on the site now...

Your PC has been sent, remember it has to find its way to Germany! Please be patient. Thanks.
