I dont often post in here as i dont really see the point and if i offend anyone in this please dont take it personally, im sure the theme room owners are very nice people and the majority (excluding one *cough* sweden *cough*) im sure spent hours on their theme room
However i will still post a huge rant about the poor quality of the theme rooms that got through this round, here goes
THEY SUCK! KFNXBI
Turkey - Wth is this? The Black Sea? More like the purple sea... pls, if i wanted to see a bunch of orderly stacking i wouldve gone to a bog standard super casino :rolleyes: Is Turkey particularly known for its bookcases, or its easter egg baskets? Or is it that some of the doormats in the 'sea' dont match at all. Theres gaps in the beach... If youre going to do a beach, please dont do a half assed one and whats with the random door on the left :s
Anthens - Athens is actually really good and i would like it win or at least come second, only change i would make is the gold pillars
Sweden - The most pathetic attempt at a theme room on the list, i couldve knocked that up in a matter of about an hours trading time and with junk in my storages :rolleyes: Im not even going to get started on this one as its too pathetic to even mention :$
Norway - Actually a really good entry, nice use of plasto but couldve added a bit more detail to the ship as well as the sea
Italy - What on earth is this supposed to be? Now ive read Romeo and Juliet and this is nothing like what most people regard as the typical R+J scene :rolleyes: Its just so bare, seen better one HxF pls
Finland - Pyrokas was better. End of. How does this represent Sulake HQ in any way? There isnt even 1 Finnish flag in the room and the only thing that even resembles anything found in Finland is the road on the right and even then thats poorly designed
Ukraine - Never even heard of the landmark this is supposed to represent and after a breif google of the name ive concluded that it has very little resemblance to the real thing, just a replica of one of the fun park rooms, cant remember which one, but with different coloured doormats :rolleyes:
Romania - This room FTW! :D
Denmark - Danish woods? I had no idea denmark was known for its woodland :s And whats with the calligraphy posters? I can safely say that China is exactly 4471.8541140830175 miles (google is my friend :D) away from Denmark, thats a bit too far to be using anything resembling chinese furni
Switzerland - The very room i dispise the most, anyone can stack a few iced corners in the right formation but it takes a lot of patience to stack 245 (i think) doormats on various different levels to re create the swiss alps in a v9 room, im not sure about you, but im fairly sure there isnt a single himalayan mountain that is cream in colour :rolleyes:
Yet again theres chinese furni in this room :@ 5015.241000349692 miles exactly between switzerland and china, even further than the Denmark room, this has even less of a right to use the chinese furni then the denmark room although it has used less of it. The slope itself is fairly poorly designed as well, im seeing noobs in there now trying to find out what pod to step on next, if done with doormats like my one is it would be much easier to navigate the 'slopes'
However i will say that the ski lift is ingenius, although i wouldve designed it so that noobs couldnt block it by moving onto the rollers underneath the chairs :rolleyes:
Feel free to vote for this one and let this one win, but just know i will not be happy that an infobus poster has gone to waste
Thanks for reading and if ive offended anyone, soz <3 I am entitled to my opinion and if there was a rant forum this would be in it ;)
I am hereby boycotting all future theme room competitions, if rooms like the sweden one are what floats there boat most of us decent theme room designers dont stand a chance against their leet stacking skillz :$
Also i hated working to a deadline, i prefer to work at my own pace to produce something to be proud of, i will not be re designing my room but i will leave it as a reminder that Staff have little to no taste in country themed rooms :D
Just my two cents, or rather my two bags worth of 2 pence pieces xD
