    I answered his questions. It's no big deal he knows what's acceptable and what's not.

    Just letting everyone know, you don't have to whisper questions to me. You can post them for everyone to see because the answer might help other people.

    Well, we have around 1 week left for the builders.

    Just thinking out loud, I hope the track builders chose some not-so-common roller coaster styles...

    and to keep the mice blind, don't answer on that!!!

    Mine's approximately 500 feet tall (Gerstlauer Bobsled of course) and levitates through half its course. I may have used magic. That's not cheating is it? Is that not-so-common enough? The things you have to do these days for a good O score... sheesh...

    I hope the track builders choose some whatever-they-want-to-achieve-their-goals roller coaster styles.

    I just wanted to say 3 Intamin Hyper/Rockets and 2 B&M Floorless Coaster is not the most interesting result I can think of.
  7.  
    I agree, and I doubt that's what we'll see.

    Another thing, could Skylindlar and mrfeeny post to tell me if they're working on their track?

    Would I be correct in assuming that tunnels will be the responsibility of the themers?
  9.  
    Your assume correctly.
  10.  
    Hmmm, I kind-of wish I entered this contest...I like making track, but everything else I hate. Backup man, maybe? :P
  11.  
    possibly...

    I am working on it. I'll have it to you in the next day or two. College is trying to cram as many things in as possible before Spring Break.

    By the way, I'm working on mine but you will definitely not have it until late Sunday night at the absolute earliest.

    If you need an alternate for supports I'm willing to join on that. As a heads up.

    That would be how deadlines work...

    Anyway, quick question: how E-Stop proof does it need to be? Can we assume that the block borders would be realistic (eg: rocket coasters, where the first post-station block border is actually after the top hat, not after the launch) rather than non-existent in the case where your launch is a transport section? I ask because I hypothetically may have created a situation where the usual just-make-the-launch-a-brake-segment trick doesn't actually guarantee safety in all cases, and I don't find the put-a-small-lift-hill-segment-at-the-end-of-a-launch trick to be any more realistic...

    tl;dr - NL sucks at blocking for launch coasters, how much do I have to care?

  23.  
    I know what you mean. There is no way to get around the problem without sacrificing even more realism so it seems perfectly fine to let it fly in this case.
  24.  
    Yeah some people might take off for blocking that doesn't necessarily work perfectly in NL, but in general I think it's the fault of the program, and especially if the rest of the quality is high, I wouldn't take anything off for it. Therefore I have to say I agree with HCL.

    ^I agree that some who don't take that into consideration will downrate, but as for the competition, shouldn't the judges be aware of this?

    So you set it up to where the brake segment launch track doesn't work, even without the bocksegment setting checked?
  26.  
    2 hours left.
  27.  
    I have a feeling that SkyLindlar won't finish...I remember a while back on NLBench that he said he wouldn't be doing NoLimits for a good while due to school. :/

    @Xpress... pretty sure non-block-brake segments don't bring you to a stop when you engage E-Stop, and since it doesn't make much sense to set their sensitivity lower than the launch speed, I'm gonna go with no.

    That said, I think I fixed it in +90% of cases so we should be good. Track will be delivered before midnight.

  29.  
    I have a track ready to go if someone doesn't finish.
  30.  
    Mine is in...not really all that happy with it....but its there, hopefully the supporter and themer can make something of it.

    same here. i kinda had to force it out.
  32.  
    I went through like 15 different ideas and settled with one that definitely wasn't as good as I would have liked to have done for this type of contest....but there's nothing i can do now.

    Submitted. Best of luck to everyone in the next round.

  34.  
    I've received some pretty interesting tracks. It seems as though I'll have to use a back up track that I've had lying around just in case this happened. For judging I won't judge the actual track on the ride that uses the track that I'm donating.

    I'll send out the next email tomorrow afternoon.
  35.  
    Just in case what happened? Someone didn't finish? Uncool!
  36.  
    Skylindlar failed to tell me he was quitting. Very uncool indeed.

    Figured...

    Meh, I could of made a track a while back so you could rate the entire ride, but ah well. :)
  38.  
    No one let me know about Skylindlar until last night. I would have had someone else make the track but I had no clue he wouldn't enter.
  39.  
    Well, I didn't want to say too much about him early, because he might HAVE finished. Guess not though.
  40.  
    Everyone should receive an email around 8 tonight.
  41.  
    The emails are sent! Get to work everyone.
  42.  
    Skylinder's just a tubby redneck so I'm not surprised.
  43.  
    ^Heh, he lives 20 minutes away from me. We had never known either, until recently when he saw my location on my NLBench profile. Never seen him, but maybe one day...

    Hey everyone, I'm just checking up on how you're all doing.

    Please respond if you've begun work, Thanks.

    Yep, I'm making some good progress on my ride.

    Supports are almost done. I'm currently doing some finishing touches here and there.
