May/June 2006 Unofficial NoLimits Contest - Sign-up

**Erik Leppen** · #1 04-24-2006, 10:57 AM

The NoLimits contests of May and June will be replaced by a co-operative contest in which two people build one coaster. The first person will build the ride up to the MCBR, the second will finish it and both persons will construct the supports. If you feel interested, then place a post in this thread. To be able to sign up, you have to be available both months since I will choose people at random (with a calculator). When the number of people is not an even number, then I will be the second person myself with somebody (also chosen randomly). Sign-up ends April 29, giving me a day to prepare.

The contest will give you a large scale of freedom, the main rules will be that the track is steel, the height above 250 ft = 76,20 m and the supports realistic. So you can choose for yourself whether you want a hyper, inverted, looper, etc. Since you have two months, use of WoodMagic is not allowed.

You can't pick your own partner? Yeah, no way.

Just like in the December 2004 contest. I don't want to have the NoLimits experts to co-operate because the contest wouldn't be exciting then.

Heck, I remember when I did this. I sucked. lol.

I'd prefer if it was pick your own partner.
I say if you see a pair that looks like two experts, split them up.

I am intrested but could you have one member support the ride and the next member make the track?

Sounds like fun. I never did one of these before!

Hmm what I can just do indeed is just give you total freedom in how to divide jobs, but I want to be sure it is about even for each pair. Oh well, I just give you the freedom of doing what you want, but be sure to divide tasks.

I dont think I'll have that much time to dedicate to this, I have a vacation and work coming up. My partner would probably just get pissed that I'd barely work on it.

sfft_2108 · #10 04-25-2006, 02:18 PM

I reject. lol.

I'm in.

Also, did we lose the Six Flags sponsorship or something? Usually every contest starting in March is official.

**Erik Leppen** · #12 04-27-2006, 02:37 AM

Willski, I am not going over prizes but it seems to be that there are problems getting things done, therefore I just continue having Unofficial contests for those who like to have some kind of contest.

I have three

members at the time, waiting for a lot more to come...

Heck, I'll do it. I have never worked with a partner before.

You'd get more people (including me) if we could pick our own partners.

@PKIDelirium, I know, but I explained above why this wouldn't be very handy.

But SUPPOSE I would give you that choice, which teams would y'all form to join? (maybe I just do it, have to think of it). I'll extend the sign in period to May 2 then.
