[Furutaka1926]

I think it's important to show the whole (and all) screenshot

 

[johnnycs]

the best 4 pre qualifiers imo were clearly Quboid, Jaqrel, Sully Skylines and Teddy Radko, and none of them even got picked lol. yet so many vanilla cities did? lol judges wtf. only one i particular am fond of is romine24.

 

[warng1286]

I am also curious why many entries are not available to vote on (myself included lol). The rules said all submissions would be put up to a vote...

 

[Nicesmallpolice]

Where is my name? I submitted a build, I thought this was an open competition...

 

[gemmaly]

yeh this comp is in the bin before it's even started tbf.

 

[Milkyle]

Tbh it is completely fine for my submission not to be selected, coz I just want to share some pictures of my city with this opportunity.
But I don't understand why the submissions with multiple screenshots (more than three) were selected.
It is quite unfair for the participants who only uploaded three screenshots, coz they could have had more beautiful and stunning views to share!

 

[johnnycs]

@SimNationJan who were these expert judges? feel you should at least share who the panel is. and what was their criteria for scoring/judging?

The game developers likely know better than us random people. I was a little proud that I was the only submission (that I saw) with tabs up and no mods. Legit playing the role of mayor, without cheats. Not too shabby for console

It’s okay everyone, the government knows best, follow them blindly despite the fact yesterday they said each of us would have a chance to run for government, but there were so many candidates that a panel choose a few of them for us! So smart.

there you go, I connected your claim to something that would upset a lot of people irl. At the end of the day, they said we would all have a chance to run in these pre qualifiers, than lied to our faces, and won’t even tell us who the panel of judges were

You seem very bitter over this imaginary city. Nothing to do with real life government because this is pretend. If stuff involving this game seems so unfair, you could just... Not play? It's just a fun contest, if you didn't make the cut then it's not the end of the world. You can always try again next year, I believe in you fella.

You are right, this is far from the end of the world.

but it is still a competition that we were promised equal ability to participate, that’s what I’m passionate about. I probably wouldn’t have won anyways, but it’s the principle.

Also you seem to have completely missed my example, I know this is imaginary and not a real city, it’s crazy, it’s in my PC! But it’s the same principle, you feel that the developers “know best” and we should just blindly follow them into this contest because it’s fun? This is not a fun contest since, well, most submissions never made it to this final vote, and those should face all the other submissions aswell, not the select few of a panel of judges. Also, not playing is not always the solution hahaha

Just out of the gate, that some people are on PC literally designing a small world with limitless mods and building designs, while ppl in the same comp are on 9 tile no mod... If you thought this was an even comp you're choosing to fool yourself

This was announced an even chance to be voted on, the rules clearly stated mods or no mods. It should be an equal chance for everyone to vote in the cities and choose, this competition did not state “mods only” or “unmodded only”

It's a terrible example because politicians are ransoms who hope to get support. Developers are trained and experts in the design process you are trying to achieve. A politician needs my support. The devs are experts whether I agree with them or not. A good example is you trying to explain to the rock about how he's doing his wrestling wrong and you know he should listen to how you tell him to do it.

 

[Nicesmallpolice]

All submissions will be put up for a community vote between March 24th and March 27th. The highest voted 3 submissions will see their participants entered in the Global Build-Off: Airports Edition.​

No, I didn’t use “politicans” as an example, if you actually read it, I stated the government says we will all have a chance to run for position, than, a panel of “experts” chooses a few that they feel are best.

here, the developers (your experts) have decided to not follow their own rules (keep in mind they were experts at that time too if you think they are now) and choose a select few who they feel are best. After telling us we would all have the chance to run

 

[johnnycs]

a tonne of entries look unmodded anyway, a lot of vanilla builds got picked. so that's why i'm confused on the judging criteria. are they looking for a vanilla build off?

The reality is they gifted you a platform to have real developers take a look at your city. It's kinda stupid to ask their opinions, then go on about how the answer is not fair. If you didn't trust their judgement then don't ask. Also for your anology to work you would be the politician. You offerered your way of doing things, didn't get voted in and now are in their forum telling them they voted wrong. Refusing to accept that the 20 are just better than yours is not a great way to go

I work in a bureaucracy, this stuff happens all the time at work - rules are supposed to be set in stone but the rulemakers always find a way to change them if they deem it necessary. I was hoping for a more egalitarian feeling in my engagement in a hobby in my free time, but whaddya gonna do :shrug:

I just want to say good luck to those who made it, may the best city win .
