Hi all, shameful to say I missed out on the latest contest - that'll teach me for not visiting TWHL enough (crappy school revision - crappy GCSEs).

So my question is, probably to atom, what and when is the next planned contest? Cos I'd love to enter the next one - I might even enter this one - but I gotta submit it today! lol - oh yeah '0' days to do a compo - would be a laugh - even if totally outrageous! ROCK ON!

Andy now runs the compos - i guess the next one will be after this one :D

Atom is gone, and has been for a while. at least when I last checked on it.

Did it ever occur to any of you that Atom may be busy with other projects to finance TWHL?

HHhhmmmmmm.....

No.

and I thought he left us here with Andy?

Guys - this is nice an all - but wasn't the point of the post - thanks kol for the sensible (not) answer - which deserves the phrase "No sh** sher...", so anyone know when the next compo's gonna be? and what subject? Cos I'd really like to enter - oh, and BTW, I think Andy's more incharge that 7th - cos 7th didn't know that you guys even thought he was - he is a moderator though - lol.

ROFL! That's so funny! - and you, 7th, will know, that it's also a rinse of Mr. Burton (our Maths teacher - lol).

Which is pretty good considering how he's almost certainly the g-man. I gotta get a snap of him.

I wonder how many people call that character 'waldo' instead of the correct 'wally'. I really have no idea why he was renamed for US audiences

Waldo's the wizard! You know, one of Wally's sidekicks.

Ok OK.....
The next compo.
Here is what has to happen first.
I have to judge the entries. (Tonight)
I send the results to Atom with the next Compo Outline.
If I get the results to him tonight, then there is a good chance that he will have something up in a couple of weeks.

I don't have access to the Compo page.

While we are on the subject:
Did I make it perfectly clear that the upload must work... Or was I imagining that???
I understand that this server has a few problems with uploads, So I can accept a corrupt zip...
But what I can't accept is someone not taking the time to test their entry and make sure it works...
Not going to waste time anymore chasing an author who couldn't be bothered to test their own map.

Also:
If you are uploading a mini mod, do not include the config.cfg, voiceban_dt or Save file.
SlayerA told me this ages ago, and it was good advice.

i just made a suggestion for a new competition, dont know if it will go anywere but its worth a try, i think im going to actally enter the next one providing its not completeley boaring like that last one. although i really would have loved to have been around to have entered the map a movie contest. :) heyho never mind.

Waldo is the sidekick???

If I remember correctly the characters in the book are:

Wally - The guy you gotta find
Wizard Whiteboard - The old wizard dude
Wanda - Wally's friend/girlfriend/life long partner
The dog - All you see is the tail
Outlaw - Evil Wally clone

Suprised I actually remember that... :zonked:

Cool - a lil' vague Andy over what the next topic is - I guess we'll have to wait to find out

Hm. Sounds authentic, Anthony; I may be wrong. Not laid eyes on one of those books for years.

I've seen a danish one of those.
Can't remember his name though.
Posted 20 years ago2004-06-04 21:01:02 UTC Post #30431
Wow... I never knew his real name was Wally. I always thought it was just Waldo... Waldo sounds cooler though.
Posted 20 years ago2004-06-04 21:12:30 UTC Post #30434
Waldo sounds retarded. I also haven't picked up one of those books for years and I still remember! I'm just weird...
