JCS Awards [2011] - Voting
Okay if you ask me, nominations don't really need much more to go into them. Let me explain the rules to this part of the JCS awards then!
1) You are allowed to vote for one level/person for each category, no more. 2) You are not limited to voting within the nominations, but you are advised to at least check these levels if you haven't already, in order to make your vote fair. 3) Votes are to be kept private. In order to vote, post your votes here and then delete the post after you have posted it, and a moderator will recover it when voting is over. Alternatively, if this doesn't work for you, you are allowed to PM them to me, but I will announce your votes once voting is over. 4) Anyone who does not follow rules 1 and 3; your votes will be null and void. VOTING ENDS 16th JANUARY! Without further ado, here are the nominations for each category! ~Best Battle of 2011 Doomed Citadel by CelL~Best CTF of 2011 Escape from Precint 83 by CelL~Best Other Multiplayer Release of 2011 Reactive Factory by DJazz~Best Pack of 2011 Impressions A by DarkSonic~Best Single Player of 2011 Cave 2 by Dx~Best Tileset of 2011 Pezrock by Gus~Best JCSer of 2011 CelL - Doomed Citadel, Escape from Precint 83, The Pit |
Best Battle: Virtuosity
Best CTF: Frontier Falls Best Other: Disruption Best Pack: Impressions A Best JCSer: cooba |
Best Battle: "Pit of Necrosis" by PurpleJazz
Best CTF: "Frontier Falls" by Fawful Best Single Player: "One Starry Night" by PT32 Best Tileset: "Rage of Aquarius" by Violet CLM Best JCSer: PT32 |
Before someone makes a wrong choice, you forgot to include Cave 2 by Dx in the SP section (I nominated it). Probably you somehow accidentally added The Citadel instead, which is now present in two categories. Unless I'm wrong and it's done on purpose, because SP and tests aren't very distant. If so, I still consider it a bad idea, since it wasn't nominated as an SP level.

Added sorry. - and fixed. - thanks for pointing that out

Best Battle - The Impossible Fortress
It's a close call between many of the levels here. 2011 certainly was a great year for Battle levels, and it's tough to make a solid decision as there were so many top quality efforts this year. I have decided to vote for cooba's Impossible Fortress because although the level takes a lot of getting used to, it's more innovative than the other nominations and ranks at the top in terms of fun factor as well. I was tempted to vote for Moonlit Harbor though, as it was probably the best Battle level in terms of overall gameplay, but it felt rather generic. Best CTF - Frontier Falls Once again, a tough category, although I think that Frontier Falls is a clear winner to me. It doesn't try anything radically new, but it is simply a wonder to play. If I could only play one new level this year, I would play this one. Best Other Multiplayer Release - Power Plant I enjoyed playing this level in Snooze's server. The concept is pretty evil but also adds an interesting dynamic to the standard GF gameplay. Best Pack - OLC Battle Pack 2 A no-brainer. 7 high quality levels, what more could you ask for? Best Single Player - Cave 2 Resurrection of Evil was a close runner up, but I have decided to vote for Cave 2 on the grounds that it feels a lot fresher; as decent as RoE is, you can't help but notice the rather profound Devres influences. Best Tileset - Rage of Aquarius I simply adore how the Castle and Haunted House tiles were merged together seemlessly, and despite all its weirdnesses, this is a truly excellent conversion that feels more like an original tileset. Best JCSer - Obsessive Level Creators (no vote) This is probably the hardest category for me to vote in. There's no doubt that OLC has been the dominant force in the JCS this year, consistently producing quality levels. I simply cannot decide between CelL/cooba/Ragnarok. All three have had a very strong year, each with their own personal highlights. I've decided not to vote in this category, but I will state that OLC in general has been the main source of the year's finest levels. |
best battle - doomed citadel by cell
best ctf - tyuka's realm forsaken by fs best pack - another olc battle pack by olc best single player - cave 2 by dx best tileset - rage of aquarius by violet best jcser - ragnarok |

Best CTF: Dusk of Serenity by Ragnarok
Best Battle: The Impossible Metropolis by cooba Best Pack: BUT ENOUGH TALK! (Another OLC Battle Pack) by OLC Best Tileset: Rage of Aquarius by Violet CLM Best JCSer: Ragnarok |
Idea: maybe I could get a server up, hosting all the nominees for Best Battle, CTF, and Other until the 16th?
|
Great idea.
|
I want to play all of these so I judge each nominee for each award but it'd take several hours of single player and party mode in my own server. I will try!

Ok, here are my votes:
Best Battle: Conflux by Superjazz. I've been around for 11 years now (under different names), so i've seen a lot of awesome lvls and know most of the special tricks and gimmicks there are. However, sometimes I still see a design that wows me. This was one of these cases. GJ. Best CTF: Dusk of Serenity by Ragnarok Great eyecandy, layout worked fine. I downloaded this after some of the aEs members asked me to add this to our server. We then proceeded to play this, and although I got pwned as usuall I really enjoyed this lvl Best Other: the Citadel Test by Lithium Fun test, portal references, not too hard (even for me XD) Best 2011 pack: BUT ENOUGH TALK (OLC) Great line up, plays well. Best Singleplayer: Neutral (I dont vote here) Haven't played much SP since 2006 XD Best Tileset: Rage of Aquarius by Violet CLM Looks good :) Best JCS'er: Ragnarok From the ones listed, his stuff rocks the most :) (this was hard...) |
Voting concludes in approximately 7 days. Vote away before the deadline if you want them to count!
|
RE:
I will host server w/games of nominated single-player levels and levelpacks.
|
Much appreciated. :O
|
xd... I should vote for my ctf level, so it would win in the current voting list :);)
|
Best Battle: Moonlit Harbor was my favorite level from our pack and this hasn't changed.
Best CTF: Frontier Falls already got a review from me and I advise you to read it. Best Other MP: Disruption is original and a bunch of fun. Best Pack: BUT ENOUGH TALK is top notch, and I like how every level was pretty much an OLC collaboration. Best Tileset: Rage of Aquarius trode new ground using old artwork, and is not Castle+. Best JCSer: CelL technically only made three levels this year, but they probably took more effort than everybody else's. Also, there were no JCS awards in the years he was the most prolific creator, so if he wins now it could be a good compensation award! |
Note to all voters: I re-uploaded the Citadel. The evil red warps are gone, bugs are fixed and it suits the Relaxer now.
edit: so that you, the noob who negrepped without a fine reason, do not go whining "omg citadel has is red warp it no good ok no" when you vote |
Yay, its updated:-)
Ill add the new version to aEs training this weekend. |
My votes:
Best Battle: The Impossible Metropolis by cooba Best CTF: Dusk of Serenity by Ragnarok Best Pack: BUT ENOUGH TALK! (Another OLC Battle Pack) by Obsessive Level Creators Best Tileset: Medvio by Violet CLM Best JCSer: cooba All I can say is that it was very hard to choose. CelL especially was close runner up after cooba and rag. Also sorry to XLM but these Rag and cooba were just unavoidable and beast this year. As for Best JCSer, cooba clearly did a lot of levels this year. If not alone, then it would have been a collab, if not helping others with levels. Also want to mention Firesword, for Fall era. If it wasn't for the bottom of the level i would definitly have chosen it. In general it's totally my cup of tea and definitly impresses me a lot more than your other latest releases. If it wasn't for the horrible seek power up placement and the 1 big gimmick at the pit, I would have favoured this for the Best battle section, I'm sorry to dissapoint you. Nonetheless i am still impressed and i think you pulled of great work. Lastly, a big shoutout to all those great levelmakers last year that all put so much effort in it. Also to those who were nominated for SP and other MP, the reason i didn't vote for them is that i barely play tests or SP and I think it wouldn't be fair to vote for something you never tried. Good luck everyone in 2012 :). |
I'm still waiting until someone hosts a (successful) server featuring the MP entries. Otherwise I'm unable to vote in some categories. :(
|
I still have the files needed for CTF and Battle categories, want me to host one of those?
|
Please do mr wKtK! I'll join when I have the time :> *if I see it*
