June 2006 No Limits College
Yes you read right. No contest for this month. Due to continuing problems with getting done the prizes, we are going to try out something new for this month, called the NoLimits College. How does it work? It is actually very simple. You send in any NoLimits coaster to us, and you get back a detailed comment (sort of a review) from some staff members, including me. So there is no winner or loser, no best or worst ride, no competition and no rules. So there is total freedom in which ride you send in, however you should satisfy to the following constraints: - It must be a NoLimits track file in .nltrack format, which is zipped along with all the required .3ds and texture files.
- You can send only one track for this College.
- When you sent in a track, you can not re-send it after you updated it. This is to prevent misuse of this service.
- You should be aware of possible negative feedback and not get demotivated in case you get negative feedback.
- You should not expect feedback within one or two days, it might take some time for us to write our comments.
- You should send in your track before the end of June 30.
Here are some tips for you, to make the comment you get back from us, as useful as possible. - It is best to send in a track which is constructed the same way you normally construct your track and in which you have put the amount of time you normally spend for a track.
- It is useful to send in a track containing a part or element which you are unsure about. For example, if you think you are very bad in constructing an inverted zero-G-roll, send in a track with an inverted zero-G-roll.
- If there are parts which you are unsure about, write about that in the Track Info, so that we know what to pay special attention to.
- It is allowed to send in a track you already started building. It is also allowed to send in a track you already finished building. It is even allowed to send in a track you already uploaded on any site.
- It is allowed to send in an incomplete track, a non-working track or a non-supported track. However it is of course best for you to complete your track, as you then can get a comment on every part.
You enter your track for this college the same way you entered a track for a contest. For people who are new to this, when you upload a track to SpeedZone, there is a box saying something like "Check this box to enter your track for this month's contest". Check this box to enter your track for this College.
I wish you all good luck building. I especially ask beginners to try this, as there is now no danger of losing!

| | | I'm working on a track that isn't possible in real life (it features two tracks combining into one, using a switch track). So I'm wondering if you will look at fantasy coasters as well as realistic ones if we mainly want to building technique looked at.

| Your choice I was thinking of PMing it, but it might be better to share it to everyone, because that way, people can learn about other people's coasters. But of course we won't make our reviews public if you don't want that to happen.
