updated voting deadline

[RithRake24]

NOTE: There was an issue in the countdown timer where the specific deadline time wasn't set, only the day, and in the author's timezone, meaning that we were only given approx 4 days in total from the start time instead of 5.

 

I have fixed this by appropriately converting the deadline time given in GMT to my timezone and remaking the countdown timer. Now the full 5 days are available (to be exact, 5 days and 4 hours from the start time of this topic).

Since the host hasn't replied, I have extended the deadline myself on his behalf. To avoid confusion I have simply extended the existing deadline by 24 hours. The countdown timer has also been updated.

Guys, I dont know what I should do. You posted yours entries after deadline... Maybe Rith will approve and add your entires, but not me. What if I broking rules? 

[Rathard]

It's fine bro, voting didn't start yet. Just ask Rith I guess, but voting didn't start yet and I asked for an extension so it should be fine.

Edited December 9, 2021 by Rathard

[Robert17]

Shouldn't be too big of an issue that they were uploaded a lil late.

[Rathard]

Since we went overboard on the time, maybe we should just extend it to midnight, see if we don't get more entries.

[BobBobowski]

Im sleeping. Rith sleeping. Can you wait, please? Sorry... (i have little time with phone, mom doesnt see) 

[M316]

Well well well.......

Um excuse me. You didn't ask for an extension, Str33t did. And you had been banned from MOTW (and DYOM server).

 

I will allow the addition of @nightmonkey's entry since the poll hadn't started and we are generally quite loose with deadlines anyway. However Rathard will NOT participate.

 

EDIT: Voting has started by the way, but I forgot to update the deadline. I will rectify that when I get back to my laptop. The voting deadline is approximately 48 hours from now.

I asked if I could participate in MOTW #194 and you said yes, nothing has changed since then. I was already banned from the dyom server. literally nothing changed since then. Also when I said "asked for an extension" i meant the 30 mins one I said myself.

Okay, since I said that in the past I will honour my word and will add your submission once I'm back at my laptop.

 

However you will not be allowed to vote, like I mentioned in the same MOTW that you referenced above in the screenshot.

Reviews (without  Rathard mission for now)

 

Pay Up, Moron! - 3/5

Pluses:
- Cool dialogues
- Bike chase
- Understandable plot

Minuses:
- Not too much shooting, only the last part
- The last part was kinda weird + clown with that Combat Shotgun can be little bit annoying (didn't like it)
- No mission audio

3/5

Blood Diamond - 4,0/5

Pluses:
- Cool drive-by (coolest one ever encountered, with perfect routing of motorbike, and with objects but lack of enemies during it - only 2 motorbikes and that's all)
- Objects
- Dialogues
- Understandable plot
- Stealth / Shooting sequence
- Pickups

Minuses:
- No audio for the mission

 

Payback - 4,5/5

 

Pluses:
- Objects
- Dialogues
- Some mission parts on the water (what I mean by that, is usage of boats - it was cool to roam around while reading dialogues on the water)
- Audio (actually it's kinda lit i like it)
- Very cool mission plot, various peds that make mission alive (ex. orange hoodie one with a camera)
- Drive-by sequence
- Various other actions that were cool (ex. stand near the bike you want to choose and depends on where you stand - character chooses that bike) - that was really, really cool.
- Pickups

- Good mission plot

Minuses:
- Mission designed by: DYOM (man change that, who knows who made this mission :D) - just a little mistake right there, not major
- Mission crashing at the end (but doesen't change the rating because the crash is after "to be continued" and i bet there's nothing after the dialogue so therefore i didn't miss anything)

Back at it again boys, since I can't record i played some of your missions. My favourite is Toriality for now, i'll play Rathard mission soon so i'm not yet voting on the website. I might be a little bit harsh with [-] for no audios in missions, but this is MOTW and the best mission should win

No sound(SD), because i rush to finish that. he he he 

and also, i put only 2 enemy in motorbike chase. the mission crash if i added more

 

[Rikka]

Pay up, Moron!
I have two issues:
1. Compared to Freeway, Quad is too slow, so you aren't really chasing, rather you are chased.
2. The last objective, while has some comedic value, is unnecessarily hard and doesn't mean anything (as there's no cutscene afterwards).
Overall though, nice one.
Payback
Despite what the description says, playing last week's mission isn't really required (I haven't tried the improved version of that one). Some technical issues, like being able to steal the Admiral twice, but they don't really matter. I liked the scene with killing the guards, somehow it's hilarious for me xD I enjoyed killing the dude in Glen Park as well.
Blood Diamond
This mission has some serious bugs:
- Madd Dogg's mansion has two entrances: the one used in this mission and the shorter one (in relation to where you start the mission) you use in Madd Dogg's Rhymes. If you use the latter one, you end up on the wrong side of the entrance gate, so you need to go all the way around to hit the marker.
- Peter once died as a result of the bomb explosion.
- Characters are able to fall during the bike segment, softlocking the mission (you can't enter the bike again).
Scenario of this mission is pretty great, honestly, but having to do this mission thrice was not that fun. Bugs aside, it's a great mission.
Also, Danny is a psychopath
Merry Mourning
Woah, this is some Postal level stuff I think the best part is the beginning, because making fun of NFTs is not only a pleasure, but also a duty. It's nice that you used AI TTS for this as well. Maybe there isn't much of a gameplay here (escaping one place, driving a bike, going to the place in a car), but the story is so ridiculous I can't help but vote for this one.

All the entries were great, but I have to choose one to vote, so I'm voting on Blood Diamound. I like the gameplay of it, the plot is also good, nothing to complain at all, just the lack of sound/music. Parabéns

Aloha, I played all of the missions and recorded my first playthrough as I played them. I didn't finish any of them, since my time was short but I packed as much as I could in to playing those missions. I think I played all of them to the point where I can rate them efficiently.

 

Pay up, Moron! @Mister A

Wow, what a cool mafia thriller inspired mission! The introductory cutscene was nice, some nice shots, some nice dialogue.

The drive to the restaurant was quite uneventful, except for me taking a bad path.

The search for the guy at the restaurant was interesting as well, no objective marker, gotta find him, quite nicely done, simple as well.

The chase, well in both my attempts I killed the guy immediatelly and since you didn't set him to must survive I just kinda drove to the roadblock.

The clown fight, as soon as cutscene ended I got gunned down immediatelly, but that's just probably cause of my difficulty mods.

On my second attempt my game crashed so I just kinda gave up after that, my fault of course.

Very nice mission! I got nothing bad to say, no real flaws, nice mafia thriller inspired mission, some nice action scenes. Very good.

Payback @Toriality

I can see that a lot of effort was put in to this one, the music, the shots, dialogue, all really good.

The beginning boat drive scene is very nice as well, very imaginative, I love the afx music as well, it's what all the fellas would be bumping in the 1920's. The whole club shaking.

Then the drive to the market, interesting as well since you are the passenger.

The market fight, really funny, 50 guys with batons run after you. I just got in to a car and ran them all down.

Then another passenger section, well, since you didn't disable wanted level, i had 3 stars by this point so I had cops on my tail, i jumped out of the car and got gunned down instantly.

On my second attempt I couldn't find the boat marker so I kinda gave up.

Really good mission! I loved all the aspects of it, especially the details like music and some of the more detailed stuff liike the photographers shooting you with the camera. Good stuff.

Blood Diamond @nightmonkey

This mission really gave me the jimmies if you know what I mean! I really really like this mission.

Immediatelly, the first cutscene I love, notice of closure! Haha XD <--- this was my face when I saw the cutscene, legitimately laughing during it. Amazing!

Then the phone call, very imaginative storyline as well! Mafia inspired thriller! hell yeah!

Then the drive to the mansion, I chose the wrong entrance so I had to turn around and go from the road and my wheels fell off! Oopsie! Another one of my stupid mods.

Then the cutscene, very super duper story, as I said before. Good camera work.

Then the tower section, wow! Really good calculating the jump from the tower to the building. Very nice section.

Then the stealth section, well.... I was kinda impatient due to my time I had to waste running short so I jumped down and started shooting the guy, but UH OH! His health was like 5 million! So I got gunned down.

On my second attempt, I get gunned down again! It's all the fault of me being impatient.

This was my favourite mission by far, I really loved the story idea. Really rustled those jimmies inside me. If I could vote, I'd vote for you bro, you got talent.

Overall, all missions were great, I got no problems with any of them, I provided youtube links to my blind playthrough of all of them. As I said, if i could vote my vote would go to nightmonkey.
