2010-11 Route Building Competition

[JRT]

Really? Why does it really matter if he is happy about it or not? Does the contest require his happiness to be valid?......Is his happiness a prerequisite for starting a new contest? He would be the first to say no!....but such a statement seems to imply it...

You are correct in your statement, but here is the large flaw in it. John Kink has been here longer then most of us. He is also a vary wise man. When I say "he will not be happy" I am inferring that when he held is contest and it failed. This one is going to fail.

I am surprised that he has not all ready replied yet.

Think of it like this, he has had a lot of experience with getting people motivated. If he can't do it, no one can.

Also, the facts back me up. Last year, 36 rented. All they had to do was create a 3 baseboard route. At the end of the contest. Only 3 completed, and the prizes were better then this competition and this competition you have to do 8 baseboards. Why do you think this one is going to be better?

Cheers,
JRT

As the winner of the 2006 route building competition I would have been very happy without a prize (although in fact Auran contributed a six-month first class ticket). Just to have been selected as the most favored by fellow Trainzers was reward enough.
I remember the rule as being not more than 15 boards and I think about 5 people actually submitted routes.
By not putting too many constraints on the route size/type etc. it encourages those who have already done a lot of work on a route to make that final effort and submit it for consideration.

Good Luck
Segy

I undrstand your argument, but sometimes ou just have to try again and see what happens. The ruote building comp di end badly a few years ago but it was a great idea and maybe with a few changes it will work. JRT, I have also changed the rules to update the competition and make it easier.
I respect John King and understand why he would say no, but it is worth a try.

Hi Josh,

I think you need to ask one of the mods. You could try a PM.

I do not know what you mean by "who I had in mind"...

Also, if you would like a webpage developed for your competition I will be happy to do it. Some email accounts have a limit of the file size you can send in a a email. Your best bet, may be to have a upload area on the webpage.

Cheers,
JRT
