|
 |
There was an official comp
http://makearmanotwar.com/
It ran for months:
| Quote: | Welcome to Bohemia Interactive’s €500,000 Arma 3 content creation contest. Building upon the Arma series’ strong heritage in modding, we’re challenging people to deliver their best work yet. With cash prizes ranging from €20,000 to €200,000, spread across four different categories, this is your opportunity to move onto the radar of hundreds of thousands of Arma 3 players. And even when you’re not competing, you can still participate by helping contestants, supporting projects, and boosting morale.
Make Arma Not War - Let's take it to the next level. |
My favourite was 'Whole lotta Altis' (or WLA) and I voted on it. It's one of the best I've ever played. Anyway. The guy put an insane amount of work into it and I really thought he deserved to win. He didn't. He was a finalist but he never actually won anything. It sucks and we all commented that way, but here's how he's handling it:
http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147768-SP-MP-Dynamic-Whole-Map-ArmA3-Missions-by-SaOk/page283
Specifically:
| Quote: | Hello, I am sorry to say but I am done unless BIS desides I am worthy to the community and will fully compensate the robbed TOP2 position. Will else be impossible to continue. I wont be ignored like this after givin my best, working like insane for near a year for the competition. I believe I would have had still much to offer for dynamic SP sandbox genre, WLA is nowhere near finished. I would have accepted the loss if I would have gathered only similar amount of votes than 2. and 3. place winners, but with 2.5x its unacceptable.
You can support me by trying to contact BIS on Twitter and via other other channels, still keep it fully civil. I am still fan of the studio and the game.
Meanwhile I continue expanding the WLA SP (COOP will be halted) in private to have big update if the justice is done. Very deeply sorry to let you down like this, but this is the only way to have some possible pressure on BIS. |
He didn't win, okay, but it seems unfair to punish everyone until you get your own way, and to then attempt to get users to bully the judges into doing something he deems worthy. I personally won't bother making any noise, and I think it's a shame that he can't lose gracefully.

Large ego is unfortunately a common issue with modders, just look at some of the drama in the TES modder community.

Wow, what a sore loser. If the voting was legit and the other two weren't artificially inflated, then he needs to suck it up and move on. I'm sure the other guys put in a lot of effort too.

I thought the purpose of modding was to show off your talent, and because you like doing it. If he did it for money, he can fuck off I'd say.

Leaves a bitter taste. I appreciate people like him for doing mods and such, but with an attitude like this he lost my respect.

Same sort of thing happened with Darth of the TW series DarthMod. He stopped modding the games because he was mad that Creative Assembly wouldn't hire him after they had hired another modder.

He'd get more support if he moved on like... you know, being a better person than those he calls justice on.
There are a lot of modders that act like they are the superior power, sadly. Throughout every single moddable game. Just look at the bunch of shitwars in the Minecraft modding community, raging over nothing or trying to enforce 'law' on people that CONTINUED old mods which weren't updated by their original authors.
Modders create great content, but regardless of the popularity of their stuff, acting like a kid seems a popular thing among them.

There are two types of modders I find, those that make mods for themselves and share them with the community, and those that make mods for the prestige.
The 2nd group usually has a very high incidence of egotism and unwarranted self importance. Anyone have the misfortune of remembering Alienslof from the TES modding forums? Fucking hell...

Cunts will be cunts.
Bet it won't be the first nor the last time his ego will stand in the way for him to reach higher.
One can just hope he'll learn with time.
I get the massive disappointment tho, but losing and showing that attitude will bring you no gain.

Drama queen mode= activated!
His mod is great, better than Bohemia's SP campaign, but handling the whole thing in such a childish way does more harm than good. What a silly goose.

So very true..I'm starting to believe that in order to be a successful modder, big ego is some sort of requirement, a necessity. Always inevitably leading to the same final result, the flipping of tables and internet bitch slapping xD

Well what do you know about game design?! What do you know about working hard?! Giving everything for your community? Well?!?
Bet you got something like that?
Usually goes down with fans like that. It's like no one can ever be flawed and everyone is a winner so don't you dare to 'hate'!

Depends on what exactly you're looking for. Are you looking for SP or MP? Are you looking for a complete package where you don't have to do anything yourself? Just load it up and have good dynamic fun?
If it's the formers, well, you propably right, there is nothing better for you.
Personally, I'd almost consider Zeus better. MCC even more so. But that's from a strictly MP ArmA community point of view.
Maybe I'm a bit too harsh.. but that attitude... and did he expect to win against Sa-Matra? SaOk is doing this shit long enough to not being mad getting beaten by Sa-Matra. He could've believed he's gonna beat RHS just as well. Ridiculous.
The other winners though... yeah, I don't agree with many of them either. Some people even straight up cloned other people's work and won with it. So, yeah, fuck the contest. Many oldfags said so right from the getgo... but his hissyfit there is just silly.
| red_avatar wrote: | This guy actually reminds myself of 8 year old me  I was hugely into drawing back then and there was a contest at school and I wasn't within the top three even though the three winning drawings were pretty terrible - that actually made me stop properly drawing for like a year because I was so pissed off at how much people sucked Then I said, fuck those idiots, I'll just draw for myself. That's what this guy should do - do it for the community instead of money and prestige even if you feel you're being wronged.
And anyone who designs, draws, creates is sensitive to criticism and there's nothing harder than swallow than a contest where you don't even end up winning anything even though you feel your stuff is better than the ones winning. Combine that with the inherently corrupt proceedings of just about ANY competition (remember Lorde winning VMA's rock award?) and you just learn to be very bitter and cynical about these competitions. I decided years ago never ever to enter any more competitions unless they're point based and not vote based. |
Thing is though, his stuff is actually much better than most of the other winners. It's a sad truth I won't deny the guy. Shit isn't fair though... and we gotta deal with it. So must he.
