Edzo Map, City Building Contest, Spring 2017

"I will give one of my three votes to you, and you do the same for me", "c'mon, IcyHot, I know you did not participate, but you could give one of your votes for me"

lol

 

lol, i love that you took it point to point and commented on them. I really appreciate it. Just this.



( The "plz upload here in the site" can be a suggestion. . . enforcing, no , no way )

---------------------------------------------------------

( Warning: trolling + self sarcasm ahead )

after Triton's Land. . .i also wanted to suggest we introduce a new category just for me. . .

this if for the best poem lol. . . but, yeah. . . it may be too much

 

You should be allowed to use megascreenshots, just shrink their size:
Convert from .png to .jpg, and then use e.g. JPEG-Optimizer and set the compress factor to 35-45 for really large files.

Edit: with this, you can have images with a size of less than 1 MB and still terrific qualitiy.

 

plz?

 

Maybe @skullz613 can set the size limit to 1.5-2 MB for each image, at least for the specific thread.

 

No, no, Mr.X2, i think things should be kept simple, too much comunication back and forth, people may not like their overview picture. . . less things, less weight on the admins, this is a time of transition and with a lot of things ahead. . . imho

 

We could probably do it the following:

Within the forums, let's say within the competition forum, we add another sub-forum called "Edzo Submissions", and every member needs to create a new thread with their city. And then we have a main submissions thread from which we can link to any entry. Yeah, with a hyperlink that opens a new tab. But as the new tab has only 10 images in it, it will load faster. And in the main thread, everyone can upload one preview image.

This was, there was no scrolling back and forth needed, and once you have finished looking through one submission, you can close that tab again, go to the tab with the main submission thread open, and click on the next submission. Not sure how many people would be willing to do this. But I guess it will definitely put some order into the chaos.

 

I see you all speak, speak, but ......
I do not see a lot of image ......

Arrrgggg, I'm waiting for pictures,

 

Hey! poke!
i posted a pic of a crying puppy!!

 

Well, true that. On the other hand, the risk was lower that some submissions may just not be seen. If you have like 20-25 participants, and you have 20-25 previews, then they will most likely be seen all. Of course, it demands some thinking about what picture to choose, but well, that holds for the current format as well

 

thanks Kipate would love to attend. I try to hope on rhm

was a picture of my city the true'll start as soon as possible

 

@skullz613, @Mr.X², so, we are fully ok with uploading here and with bandwidth needed, site traffic etc?

---------------------------

If it's so, i 'll upload my next pictures / submission or competition entry here next time.

I have already "lost" too many things going back and forth from 3rd party provider to 3rd party provider, all my journals ( all of them have almost fully been restored ) and a competition submission. To be sincere at the start i did not know that it's possible to upload here.

Still: if someone wants the things he / she presents to stay here and be visible in the future, the pain and effort needed to restore / substitute links one, two or three years later is just too much. So considering uploading here rather than hotlinking to an external site is a good idea.

 

Back to the competition, i am cracking my head to see what i should do with all the small islands. . .
