The Official Kerbin Cup Tournament Thread - Final Entries Posted

[HafCoJoe]

Job well done...

You guys STILL DESERVE IT!

[tygoo7]

You guys did really good! I still think forum should have won since you guys were using every realistic mod.

[Robotengineer]

Forum should have won, but congrats to the redditours anyway.

Where did you find out Reddit won?

Also, NOOOOO...

Reddit still earned it

Where did you find out Reddit won?

Rowsdower mentioned it in this week's Devnote Tuesday.

Anyway, congratulations to Kerb-O-Nautix, and comiserations to Crotchety Old Modders. Both entries were great - it must have been a very tough decision.

[Whirligig Girl]

I think the forum's entry was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR better.

[marach]

Having just looked at both final entries I kinda find myself wondering how reddit won

[iClarion]

I have to say I envy the forum's loyalty. I'll bet hardly any redditors even know we won!

Maybe it was the Kerbalesque style of our submission that gave us bonus points with the devs, but in the end, even if it was made to look easy, my teammates' talent for efficient design and navigation really showed. I know I couldn't have done it!

I don't imagine we won by any big margin. Wouldn't have wanted to make the decision myself, but hey! In the end, it's all low-stakes fun and games.

*Slow clap* it was a fun tournament and I admire everyone's sportsmanship. Ya'll are great!

It was a hell of a tournament, and you guys put on a really awesome show, both teams. I'm kind of glad I didn't get picked to participate! As to who won, not knowing what went into the decision and the two challenges being so radically different, I wouldn't even know where to start to talk about it, so I'll just say I don't care much about the result. If Reddit's chore was more "KSP" because it had no mods and that helped them.. well, good for them for cleverly accepting an "easier" hob! I still got to see a Saturn C-8 doing his stuff.

Rune. :Joins the clapping:

And THIS statement is why this forum is awesome. We can happily say "I wish we won but it doesn't really matter, and it was fun anyways". I doubt seeing this statement in any old internet forum.

*Joins slow clap too*

And that too.

I agree that the forum team should have won. Their entry was far more imaginative and inspiring, and IMO required more creative effort; the writing alone was impressive, and just look at the resizing and texture work done on the MK3 cockpit for the Dyna-Soar. Maybe it was the difference between showcasing the game itself and showcasing what the game could be...

Anyway, the Reddit team's entry was pretty impressive in itself, so congrats! Great competition all around!

[The Jedi Master]

When can we have something like this again? Soon, right?

[kmMango]

And forum and reddit joined in applauding the entries, and there was much rejoicing.

I would love to set up another Kerbin "Kup" if enough people want in on it. I don't know what there would be prize wise though.

Hearty congratulations to the reddit team--and indeed to all the teams. It was a ton of fun doing this stuff.

Note: As we are Crotchety Old Modders, we will of course be releasing a mod (that includes all the stuff we made for the final entry). Stay tuned.

Super cool!

[BadRocketsCo.]

Oh well, what can I say, good job done both of the teams! I wonder, how did the voting system work?

Great work on the challenge mate. Did you make the modded parts you used??

[NathanKell]

Majorjim: yes, with the exception of the new model for the LV-T45 which is Lack's from SXT with a larger nozzle (although I did the texture).

The mod is now up

WOW I'm gobsmacked. Amazing work on this!

[L3GO]

GREAT JOB GUYS!!! I think we all need a pat on the back for what was made by all of us. I think our computers would have needed a rest from all of the massive creations that we have all made over the time.
