Voting time: LH maker of the Month November 2006

[Voltron]

I really liked Margrave and Atilla. It was hard to choose, but I went with Margrave because he looks just like my college roomate. Who knew I would find jeff with his goofy horsehockeyeating grin here?

Hikaro, sorry you do not like how the votes go. but if you have to win, maybe you should just follow the advice you got.

 

[Bambi Slam]

i voted for the creepy gray dude. the world needs more creepy gray dudes.

 

[Grandraem]

You make stuff you know no one wants

Not true. Just check download numbers. This and your comment about NavyDawg's unit in the unit voting thread are posted a little rudely. Please take a little consideration for the time and effort that these creators are taking in making these things and sharing them for free to the Civ community here.
Anyone with any amount of pride will be at least a little upset if they've worked hard on something and are proud of it and see it get very few votes, or much less than others. Rob's Green Lady (sorry Rob, I don't remember the name ) was well made, and fun, and creative, but when I first checked voting against my Princess Carlotina LH and I was losing, a LH that I'd worked very hard on and problem solved many things, things that aren't necessarily and immediately obvious in the final product, I admit I was a little upset at the results. Again Rob, please don't take the above comment as anything negative against your LH, which I'm sure you worked just as hard on, just a comment on a feeling of rejection of my LH. It's easy to feel that way, and as Hikaro has said, he has had this happen on more occasions than he's willing to tolerate.

Anyways, I think we can definitely move on from this topic back to the discussion of themed competitions.

Oh, and Go Jeff Go! Only a little more than 20 votes needed for victory.

Nope, nothing negative. The slave girl from Orion was just a little bit of fun, not hard to do and I was delighted that she got so many votes against your fabulous Princess Carlotina.

Oh, and it was obviously not a leaderhead anyone could use, save in the Star Trek mod (maybe) - the point being that I entered it as fun and was pleased to see it score something in the region of 16-20 votes, even though it didn't win. It would have probably been a travesty of justice if it did .

I was a little surprised in the first competitions, when an ogre beat Gladys and an old wizard beat Sitting Bull, but took it to mean that the people voting preferred elves and wizards to one of my pretty ladies and what I consider to be one of my better works (i.e. Sitting Bull).

Still, I think that themed competitions would be the way to go, but, as ever, I'll enter these competitions whatever the ground rules .

Thud, you've been here for what? about 2 months? so look, once you can make units and leaderheads of Hikaro's quality then you can have an opinion, and even at that, you have no right to say what you did. just look at the ammount of downloads his stuff gets and you're instantly proven wrong.

so quit whining about him whining: at least he has a reason!

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Hikaro would you just quit with the whining. I read the same junk for months now. You make stuff you know no one wants and then whine that you're gonna take your ball and go home. Get over it. Want votes? Make stuff people can use.

Well, at least I'm contributing something to the community besides pointless trolls like you! Posts like this make me not want to make anything at all anymore.

Besides, how do you or I know that noone wants it, eh? I mean Garnet would make a nice mediterranean/Spanish/Greek/Itallian princess, but I'll bet that you didn't think of it like that, now did you?

Your "thoughtful" post has been reported for trolling, and have a nice day.

 

[Blue Monkey]

once you can make units and leaderheads of Hikaro's quality then you can have an opinion

Who picks the jury, by that standard? I will continue to have an opinion, based on over 30 years of careful inquiry into the semiotics of visual and especially digital media, which some might consider to be of value even if I never make a leaderhead. Bullfighters need aficionados. If Hemingway could write about the ring, I can express my views here, as a player if nothing else.

Hikaro - your revised avatar, along with this discussion, are going to make me a more thoughtful voter in all future polls.

 

[Quinzy]

yeah, i suppose, but still, the Thuds words were harsh and completely uncalled for. ypu've been around here long enough to know how much effort goes into this stuff. Thud's only been here 2 months.

 

[kairob]

I think all they are saying is that you should consider how what you say will affect other people and that you should try to take that into consideration when you post, as well as not saying things that will do nothing but anoy people, if you dont like something of course you have the right to say so, just try to be less antagonistic...

 

[Plotinus]

It makes no difference how long people have been members of the site - uncalled-for rudeness is against the rules. The Thud's been warned so there's no need to keep discussing it.

I'm using her in my current project.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I'm using her in my current project.

Hurrah!! I'm glad she is going to be in someone's mod ; aaglo doesn't make mods, otherwise I'm sure she would have been in his .

 

[Flamand]

And she'll be in the ST mod of course...

Care to make a Borg queen?

You know, I just happen to have a cyber helmet for Victoria 3 and a cyborg eye for her.............

I was going to use the cyborg eye to make that "Cats" guy from Zerowing as a kind of joke LH (Cats is the originator of the (in)famous "All your base are belong to us" quote), but now I might be able to use it for a real LH.....

I'm kind of wondering, however, who the 28 or so people who downloaded Garnet are and what they are using her for.

 

[beboy]

Hurrah!! I'm glad she is going to be in someone's mod ; aaglo doesn't make mods, otherwise I'm sure she would have been in his .

I too use her for a mod in making; there she is the Queen of the Space amazons!!

Bjorn and all who say that I should enter something more realistic, are you saying that I'd win if I entered something like THIS:

I wouldn't say that you'd actually win with that leaderhead (though I'm not saying you wouldn't either). There's nothing wrong with it, it's nicely done; though it would depend on the other leaderheads entering the competition as to whether or not it would win. Who is she? Is she someone people actually want? I'd suggest if you're after winning, try and find out what people are after - maybe look through the leaderhead lottery threads to see what's requested.

 

[polyphemus]

The Hun.It is a much needed leaderhead and by far nothing equals to it.

When I vote for leaderheads, I don't vote for the most needed, it's just a mere coincidence that everyone needs it. Instead, I vote based on overall design, creativity, and texture which I believe are best displayed in all of Grandraem's leaderheads. With that said, I will continue to vote for Grandraem, well unless a gorgeous bae leaderhead comes out...

Oh and not to bring this about again....

@The Thud-->you better shut up and quit those negative comments or I personally am going to give you a thud on your head. I have deep respect for Hikaro and his unit/leaderhead genius. He is of great help on animation/creation and should be appreciated for his talents.

Sorry to bring this back up, but I needed to release some steam...NOW, back to the competition.

Moderator Action: Warned for trolling. I said that he has been warned and there is no need to continue it.

It was an open invitation...

I don't know if you'd win or not. It depends on the over all quality. If it matches your Anime ones, I'd say your odds would be much better. But I can not predict what the exact out come would be. Only that I think that given the same love and attention you lavished on your Anime would yield better results on a historic to semi-historic unit.
Looks good So who is the blonde?
