RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted November 2, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2010 November Already !!! I suppose I'm too late now :-) Never mind. It is fascinating to read on this forum of all the high quality entries. Difficult to chose who to vote for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Graff Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 So. I'm not sure how this works, do we have to post something tomorrow to show that its finished and then do the summary over the next couple of weeks? If not then how do we judge a layout as done by tomorrows deadline, as we could in theory then add to the layout for a further 2 weeks. This question didn't seem cleared up to me when asked earlier. Cheers Cav I believe in the good of man, and also in the abilty and willingness of my fellow competitors not to cheat . I have laid down my tools until I can make the final photo´s and video of it. Then I can continue the never ending detailing...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Speaking for myself - I will be making a judgement based on the documented progress on the threads so far. That will show progress from start to this point (or last point) in time. If things appeared one way on the last post and all of a sudden goes to another state in the next couple of weeks - I would be just a we bit suspicious. I certainly will not be judging based on video content - I don't recall a video camera being in the entry criteria, besides I don't get video feeds. It is not all about quality photographs either, though it helps if they are at least in focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I never suggested anyone would cheat, you only cheat yourself anyway. A just wasn't sure of the rules thats all. My tools are also down until I do my summary then I will do all the stuff I didn't have time to do before!! in the meantime I've got a backlog of commissions to do now to keep me busy. Never ending modelling, what a small world we live in!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Andy, When is the summary area going to be opened? cheers Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 As soon as I get chance one evening this week to create the area and define the guidelines for the summary topics. Please bear with me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC126 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks Andy ( & Cav for bringing it up) - I had been wondering about this too. I've taken the "Works Photos" already. I found that my layout looks much better in sunlight and would definitely recommend this to the other entrants (if possible). I've also started to prepare some text offline too - this could take some time - I've used MS Word but any other text editor is OK for subsequent cut-n-paste.

RBE Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Cheers Andy, I haven't managed to get a nice day to take my pictures yet. Its been ridiculously wet! I agree though natural light is a definate plus!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nice try! Not that you three need the help - so much good stuff in those posts already. Thanks for the reminder Andy, I probably have enough pix already, so I'll try and get something written up tomorrow night if overtime doesn't get in the way.

Andy Y Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 What happened to the voting? I'm currently struggling with some of the formatting and answer collation within the voting software (which had to be re-installed at the weekend). I hope to have the voting running by this weekend.

Dave777 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Something I noticed today is that, doing some rough numbers, there's about 150 threads in the Challenge forum and only 15 entries - that means a whopping 90% of initial entries never made the deadline Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, the only things I like to predict are my own failures! Still pushing on.... George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm glad I stayed the course even though the layout wasn't really finished for the end of the challenge - it was a huge thrill (and stress!) in getting it as far as possible for the deadline Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a heck of a lot of work involved and real life gets in the way for most folks to some extent or other. In addition most of us are wildly optimistic as to what we can achieve when we start out on one of these ventures and plans have to change.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted November 19, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2010 Never mind the width - feel the quality! Some of those 15 are layouts to die for! Judging will not be easy. Result! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was exactly my experience of the Challenge too. Towards the end there were a lot of late nights worked and I had to drop a lot of the jobs I thought I'd have time for, but I'm very glad I pushed on.

Dave777 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hmm, I think I'd best shut me gob on here for a while, that's twice I've apparently put my foot in it on the Challenge forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I think a forum challenge, if your brain is like mine, sometimes is what is needed to kick-start a project. Shoiwing my progress (or lack of it), helps to keep me focussed, I have to say that I agree with Wills comments completely - it has been fun! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as could be seen, there is: One New Zeelander One Norwegian One Swede (me) And ten from Great Britain. Possibly is there someone in there that is from some other place than GB, but as it doesn´t show on the info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 The voting is now up and running after a tussle with the software. The RMweb 2010 Layout Challenge has produced some entries of exceptional quality and interest. The results of the Challenge are down to you as the readers. We would like you to take some time and mark each of the 13 layouts in turn on the criteria given. The results will then be collated at the end of voting on 31 December 2010* to determine the winner. Click here to vote * Amended closing date due to late start in voting. Plus it gives something interesting to do on New Years' Day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted November 20, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2010 I have just completed voting and there are some lovely layouts to be voted on. Andy, at the end of the voting form would it be possible to put a return link to the forum to make it easier for people to return? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
