Total Crap FM Contest missions available

[Renault]

Hi,

For those unaware, there's been a T2 FM contest in works for the past several weeks over in the Editor's Guild. The details are here, but the basic premise was a little different than your usual contest. In short, participants were to create the most awful and terrible FM they could possibly imagine.

The point? Possibly a little humor, or a chance to just goof around with no consequences. Hopefully these missions will make everyone laugh a little bit, but more likely you'll just cringe and shake your head. In any case, none of this should be taken very seriously.

There is a voting page available at Southquarter.com, check it out here. The voting deadline is January 12th, 2007, with results to follow soon after.

So, enough rambling by me. Here are the the contestants. May the worst FM win!

I've played four now. Three were crap so I guess that's good(?), one was quite fun so I guess that is bad (?).

[elkston]

Incubus = LOL!

Incubus is very trippy.

[The_Dude]

Kill Factory.

WOW!

The most original yet. What a hoot.

spoiler:

I think sluggs did this one!

Tcrap wins the prize for most mindless experience. But it was funny. As was Kill The Guard, I love the guard on

spoiler:

springy mushrooms.

The best of these are going to be the funny ones. The rest are ....

[elkston]

I don't understand Quamtotius Purgamentum. When it starts up all I do is plunge to my death ... poof mission over.

Is that all? Really?

[Origami Thief]

Nope! It's quite a large mission.

Clue:

Is it raining?

[Force]

Just played them all...
Well, I rated them in that order:

- Incubus - really great winner, but not even so crap, as it MUST be... But VERY fun!
- Teh j0KeR - great balanse between crapness an greatness .
- The Cube - I like the movie. This FM - IS REALLY thief-cube-movie-like. Cool!

Special Prizes:
- A Long Way Down - its interesting chalenge to all taffers who liked exploring areas. It remembers me Unwelcome Guest - Thief 2 Demo which i like so much!
- The Kill Factory - extra-style mission.

But most other FMs very nice too. Thanks a lot for this contest!

[Sluggs]

The most original yet. What a hoot.

spoiler:

I think sluggs did this one!

I think ***YOU*** did this one! There's something about this that reminds me of Gussie's Dream

BTW, I think this is too good to be "Crap"

[Drysils Chosen]

I've played three so far and they're crap alright! But I can't complete TOT Escape. I try to get to the mask and it just throws me into the water and then the game freezes. Wasn't a prerequisite that these missions had to be completeable?

EDIT: I can't complete the HammeriteHideout one either.

[Origami Thief]

I can't complete the HammeriteHideout one either.

Do you want to give us a clue as to why?

I assume you can't find a certain key

spoiler:

under the couch?

search for a key near the dead man in the chapel

OK, now what? how are we going to vote on these?

[Yandros]

There will be a voting page available soon up at Southquarter.com, I'll post the link in this thread. The voting deadline will be December 31st, 2006, with results to follow soon after.

[rhoelzl]

Could someone make a campaign out of these missions? That would be great.

[Sluggs]

I don't think anyone wants to play these!

[Bulgarian_Taffer]

I don't think anyone wants to play these!

OK, who is going to vote then

[The_Dude]

I'm really enjoying them. Well ...some of them anyway. Got a day off (sudden illness) and this contest is the perfect panacea. I've got sluggs down as author for about five of them!
