I've traced some things in Flash before, it's not too slow once you get going. I use straight lines for most things then bend them to fit.
Well, I was well aware of that, but thanks for trying to help.
The hard part of this whole process is the coloring. I just got done with a few small icons, but those icons from the webkit are colored special, with shading and stuff.
I'm just glad Flash uses layers, because I'm used to drawing in Raster (Photoshop), not Vector (Illustrator). But, I am starting to like the "crisp" look of the Vector graphics.
It's still very time-consuming, but sometimes you have to look busy at work, right? ;)
Thanks for that sjBu. Well I think i need some help from my friend now. I think ill ask him to design a page for me so bye...

The cut off date for round 1 is the 21st. The top 10 then get acccess to a better webkit and get to improve their site. Then the winner gets the PC and becomes the official Worms3D fansite.
It might be a bit tough deciding the top 10 in 1 day to be honest, so I'm not expecting it to be chosen on that day. Also the 21st is the cut off date so deciding will have to begin at 00:00 on the 22nd (but for some reason I think they'll decide when they're at work;))

They don't need that much time to decide imo. They can just let all the team17 guys go thru the links.... *click**click* really fast, and choose their top 10... then they get together... and check which ones are seen as top 10 if all chosen sites are added up.
I think it will also be cool if we have our own users top #10. Everyone checks the sites and posts their top #10... to see which one is the user favorite.
If you check the sites (and know something about site making) you can already see who will be the competing Top #10. But i think there are still lot's of sites that have to be included in the list. (including mine).
We could do our users top #10 on the 21st. :D

That site is made by a guy named: "Sultan". He makes great websites.
This guy has copied the website and it's 100% the same as the original, xept for the worms title and the worms icons. Everything else is 100% the same.
If this website comes in the top #10, i will bring the real owner of the website so he can object, or if the guy wins, he can collect HIS prize.
I mean, cmon man.... he hasn't changed anything..... if he did i wouldn't have said anything... but he hasn't changed ANYTHING xept for some images which are easy to add because the template is free for download and has psp files that can be edited.
Also, the other site i mentioned being made by somneone else. is made by "Nemeliza".
As proof i can email the website to anyone who wants it... just lemme know you want it... gimme email and i will send it to you.
(can't add it here cus it only allows 100kb attachment)
good job Genera, it's too easy to cut/paste some html and edit a template.
Where are REAL designerz?
I added the news engine to my site, still have to improve the css layout but I think I am close to what I have in mind.
Vote the poll if you can, it displays no results but stores the votes so tomorrow I will code a result layout.

Hey Triqui, how does your css layout look in 800 by 600 resolution. I started out trying to use CSS layouts but i can never get them to look right in all resolutions. I eventually gave up trying to use css layout and now i just use tables again, until css becomes the standard...

Um, Yeah, you're supposed to click on that bazooka. (You know, the only thing that's moving...? ;) )
Then it will open the rest.
The only section that has content is the "Downloads" section, and that's not even content, just a "guideline" of what's going to be there.
I'm still working on re-tracing all of the icons in vector format. That seems to drastically reduce the file size.
p.s.: How the heck is Flash a "non-standard"?? It's on almost ALL of the big companies' sites... and it's constantly used for ads all the time.

It is non-standard in the way that it is not supported by default on a lot of computers still. Also if users do have it they generally have older versions and often dont bother to update (or dont have the rights to update it).
I know its used for ads all the time, I said I avoid creating WHOLE sites out of it because of a number of issues, not just the availability.

Most new sites are coded to make it so the new FLASH player is automatically installed, but your pc seems to NOT have done that.
Update the player and it will show what it's supposed to. You might have to turn off your NortonIS if you have it. I know that it sometimes blocks Flash movies from loading...

Flash is the current de facto standard for animated graphics on the Web. Flash movies are playable by any Web browser with Flash player installed, which, according to Macromedia, is 92 percent of the online population.

Is the first round purely design based, or will having a lot of content affect your chances of getting into the top 10?
Also... flash is pretty much a standard today and it rocks a lot, however i dislike sites made purely out of it because the user has no control of how it opens URL's etc.

You can't take a statistic by the company selling the product as accurate. It also doesn't take into account the version of Flash installed. I go by my experience within the industry and the problems with webpages that have been down to lack of Flash support. I did say this wasn't the sole basis for my point about not using Flash for whole sites though. You seem to be taking this personally when all I was saying in the first place is that I personally don't make sites completely in Flash, due to various reasons.
Now this is my final post relating to the subject because at the end of the day its a matter of opinion, and we will just end up going round in circles.

How often does that really happen anyways?

"Oh well, anyone that doesn't have AT LEAST FLASH PLAYER 5 can p*** off -- and, if they're computer doesn't AUTOMATICALLY download the newest version, and they don't get the fact that they're supposed to update software now and then, let them live that blissfully-ignorant life without seeing my page!"

Who "doesn't have the rights" to update the FLASH player? It's FREE for god's sake.
I'm talking about the rights to install stuff within the operating system. Administrated computer networks in other words. i.e people in the workplace, at university, internet cafes, etc.
How often does that really happen anyways?

It's happening less as time goes on, but it still happens enough for me to consider it. The last time I experienced it was a couple of weeks ago when a client was having trouble accessing a jewellery manufacturers website.

Like half the people here, I'm having trouble submitting my site! I'll keep trying, but I reckon the submission form should not have been done in Flash.
true web designers catering to a large audience should take into consideration many factors:
- is flash installed, if so, what version? certain features require newer versions of the plugin, and if you believe that most people have the latest, you should double-check with your target audience.
- are you using extensive javascript? if so, what does your page look like with javascript disabled. is it still functional? there are many reasons that many people have javascript disabled.
- is your site (every page) cross-browser compatible? check it with netscape (v4.08+) ... NS is super finicky when it comes to countless items (nested tables, bg's, css, thin rows or columns). there are methods to trick netscape into working correctly.
- if you are using a backend for your news publications / member areas, etc - is it secure?
- always always keep usability in mind. at the end of the day, visitors want to get their information, and present a UI experience that is comfortable.
there are many other things to keep in mind (graphics optimized to the nearest kb to transport over TCP with the least amount of wasted packets, web safe colors for common elements / dithering, different resolutions, keeping important and frequently-accessed elements above the 'fold', etc). this info may be overkill for this fansite competition, but if you're a web designer by profession, it becomes second nature. :)

yeah, I've read up on all of that stuff, and basically, what I've run into is thus:
Out of ALL of the Internet users in the world today, what percentage is going to be PC, and NOT Mac, Linux, etc.. ??
I'm guessing around 65%-75%, or the majority, because most consumers just go to the local electronic store and buy them, or see ads for them on TV/Internet.
In that percentile, how many users will use the pre-installed Internet browsing software that comes with Windows XP and their brand-new PC bundle?
I guess around 70%-80%, or the majority.
When I make sites, I don't really get any complaints from anyone saying the page loads incorrectly. Maybe the occaisional JavaScript popup error, but nothing major.
I consider "the majority" of the Internet population to use the pre-installed software that comes on their computers, being IE5 or IE6.

However it can only be edited ones every day, so the first one to it gets to post... Today it's tolate I'm afraid, but if everything works as it should, it's editable tomorrow.

There are lot's of free forums, i was using yabbse for my worms fansite, but i removed it, and am now using the one gestur is using. Cus it's it's so damn small. :)
PS: I have some questions:
1. On the submittion form it asks for name, do you want my real name or nickname?
2. How much time will the top 10 winners get for making another site? And does that site need differen't content from the first one or just differn't design?

1. I think you should use your real name.
2.
Don't think you need to make a new site at all... If I understood things correct, all you need to do is improve your current site with the assets from the webkit round 2 sites will be given.

Your site just said "under construction" when you first submitted it.
If you search this thread you will find this...
I have taken some entries out of the links section. This is because...
the URL no longer works
or...
the site has not yet been launched e.g. the index page just says "coming soon"
If your entry has been removed or hasn't yet been added - don't panic, just email me telling me the current status of your site (if your URL has changed, when it will have some content, etc).
Now that your site has got some content it will be added tomorrow.
hey sel my site url still hasnt been updated.
Try refreshing the page. Your browser still might be loading the old .SWF file.

Do sites with more content have more chances of going through to the next round, or is the first round solely based on design/coding ?
i think it should be a bit of both. Dont want a site with loads of content but loads of errors

Well, my site has loads of content and a has great design. I've showed it to many people and it's tested on lots of browsers. It's made for resolutions 800x600 and up, it loads fast, and looks professional. They all agree that i should win. :) Hopefully that's true...
But my site has not been added yet. :( I submitted it this morning. And also emailed sel just 10mins ago to make sure the site gets added. I hope it does, and get a chance to be in the competition after all the time i spent on making the site. :(
no offence but your site is php nuke and it was created by professionals. all you had to do was change it.
I wont aim to win the competition since then I'd just end up a crying wreck :)
There are many good sites out there, just to make it to the 2nd round is a win for me!
Good luck to everyone! Tomorrow is D-day
i think i saw your site in the webkit. Also did you recive my email to put my site in your links page.
Hey also if people modify your links it causes major errors on your page. Try http://worms.dius.org/index.php?menu=headlines1 and look what happens. Try my site here http://pixelmethods.com/wormnet/w3d/index.php and modify the url but i have made a customized error.

You got them exactly as mine... even with the author and stuff! I thought that was kinda original.

thanks for that comment gshot. Im smilin now. Dont worry becuase i dont think the judges will choose a site that uses a engine not created by themselves. maybe they'll tell them to change it but i dont think they wold like the look.

And the same goes for Worms clan council - I like the site a lot, but all its got that relates to worms3D is 1 image at the top and some news posts. All the content seems to be WA-based. The others are all pretty good contenders though...
And don't you think my site stands any chance? ;)
yep. the 1st and the 4th look kind of ummm..... Like non related worms sites. They kinda look php nukey. Also how do you get hosted on nativenewsmedia.com (nnm for short) is it because you own it? Also who designed that grenade of a world for you? please tell.

*edit* i changed my site halfway through so click on my www and tell me if the top 10 has changed*edit*
The Grenade was designed by Fudd - Wormiverse has been running for a couple of years now, it was previously for W2/WA/WWP, and it's had a few different designs. Fudd did the grenade-world logo for his second design. I decided to make Wormiverse a Worms3D site and enter this compo, so when I made the design for it I thought that grenade-world was pretty fitting for the 3D aspect... then SargeMcCluck suggested using the target from the worms3D logo, which was a nice idea but it took a fair bit of pixel-pushing to remove the "3D" and rebuild the target completely... but I'm pleased with the end result :)
As for NNM, yes I own that, basically its just a site for me as a freelance webdesigner/programmer to try and make some extra pocket money while I'm at uni ;)

I have one question:
For the contest! My Site (http://www.rpgtiger2003.de)
Is the design important or the contents? Some sides are programmed into flash. Of course this is very good. Always looks good, too. My page sees, I think well, too. My contents are others of very much gro unlike many? I shall do what. I cannot any flash.
Have finally ended the whole graphics! And have also put some sections in more! Some are still empty because I have not put her yet (I put her as soon as I will know the results). I hope to arrive among the first 10.. meanwhile if want to give a judgment also do!

on most wekit links they all say "if i get through ill add more content" i think they're in it for the prize.

i think we are. if we arent then it should be allowed.
coool triqui. do you think you could teach me how?
teaching how to code php/mysql apps?
I think it won't take a reply or two... you'd better buy (more than) a book and start coding.
i agree otherwise whats the worth if they pick a site with copied content
I have to agree with you lot. But I think team17 will easily be able to identify the sites that have just entered for the prize and copied their content. So I dont think you have anything to worry about.
ok then ill try. i dont know how to use mysql thats the prob. ah well

I have tried to register my site www.worms3d.info.se the whole day, both 20:th and 21:st, but it didn´t work, it said processing form... no matter how long i waited and nothing more happened. Please let me join the competition
The links page has been updated with all entries.
Good luck to all!
I won't need it. :rolleyes:
j/k, I'm gonna be last! (check www button:p)

I think your website stands a good chance of getting through to round 2. Remember that the websites are judged on a number of things. Not just the way they look or the content.

Thanx! Needed that one! ;)
Your site's very pretty, only some pics look like they don't use FSAA & AA (just an example), although it could be me..
I have submitted my site in the competition at 19.00 GMT. It wasn't added as I can see, because as I have just read it was too late.
In my opinion it is quite unfair. First of all this competition has rules, where wa can't find any infomation that deadline is at 16.00 GMT. Additionally there is written in that deadline is 22-nd of ovember. I think it's quite strange, because you don't add sites submitted after 16.00 GMT while there isn't written anything about it. There isn't even adress of forum where we can find more information.
So I'd like to know if my site will take part in competition.

on most wekit links they all say "if i get through ill add more content" i think they're in it for the prize. Of COURSE we all are, but I'm in it as well to create a good fansite for the Worms community. With the release of Worms 3D we need new, fresh sites to take the roles of those great sites that have since fallen.

I agree that something should have been mentioned on the webkit microsite. I almost missed the forum post that said that it was 4pm.
Yes there should be but wasn't. I understood deadline: 21-th of NOV that we can add sites to midnight.

I guess you could try e-mailing your site details to one of the administrators. I doubt it would make any difference though since we have had 3 weeks in which to submit our entries.
It is written "to 21-th Nov" so we can add site every day and it doesn't say we have 3 weeks, so we have to submit our site earlier.
I sent 3 mails to administrators today , nevertheless I haven't got any reply yet.
Remember that the websites are judged on a number of things. Not just the way they look or the content.

I think they will also judge on cross-browser compatibility. Thats the main reason why I made a html version of my site for viewers that dont have flash installed.

rofl....
anyway... i don't think any flash website will win... because if you look at the professional websites that get visited by allot of people... they never are made with flash... cus flash takes too long to load.. and is slow... esp for people with slow speed.
There are some nice flash sites made... but if i was a judge.. i would never put one of them in the top 10.
I'd check for,
1. How fast it loads, (also on slow connection)
2. If it looks professional (not some amateur website everyone can make).
3. If it's user-friendly (if the user can find whatever hes looking for in 1/2 clicks and it's easy for him to find)
4. If it has content (i would never let some empty layout website in top10). I could have personally entered with 10 nice layouts and use my friends addresses to enter them into the competition. Content is important.
5. How original is it. (some people have stolen everything... or would just steal small things from other users here, who probably had to think allot on how to make things look/what to add).
6. Is it on a good domain (i wouldnt accept any free domains/banners whatever etc...)
7. Is the domain easy to remember. (not some http://here.is.my.worms.site.free.domain.cum.get.com/wormswebsite url)
8. If they let that person win, would he keep updating his site. And not run off with the prize? Has he made websites before? Does he update those?
9. No websites that open in pop-up windows or whatever. That's just not professional.
etc....
Is my site enrolled to the competition... but now that on November 21 has passed.. I can still adjourn the site?????
Because I should still add some section,

1. Pretty good.
2. In my opinion, yes.
3. Yes. One click to open up the particular section of the menu, another to go a particualar page.
4. There's a little bit of content, but probably not the amount your ater. (Team17 have said that the round one site does not have to be fully running, so I wouldn't mind a desing-only site making it to the Top 10, but not winning of course.)
5. Yes. And more to come if in the Top 10.
6. Yes. Webspace that comes with our broadband. (Team17 have said something about hosting the winner?)
7. Yes. http://feelinwormish.vze.com
8. I will. I currently am a staff member of WorMatriX (http://wormatrix.nativenewmedia.com) and if you saw the new layout for it that I'm working on, well, basically it rocks.
9. Nothing of the sort. You might have thePhallex talking to you about that comment though.
You didn't make a HTML version of your site, you made a GIF version.
lol, yeah that is true. but that is only an example of the html site that I will make when I have time. Which are frankly do not at the moment, what with like 5 pieces of coursework on at once and my GCSE Mocks coming up in a couple of weeks. Being an A* student and all I can't afford not to revise if I want to get the top grades. lol
You have changed topic. What do you think about my problem?? Why any of administrators didn't answer my question? It's unfair.
on most wekit links they all say "if i get through ill add more content" i think they're in it for the prize.
Most of 'em are.. :(
That's why I hope they won't include anyone who has just copied the info from the W3D site.. :)
I think any site that was created BEFORE the competition should be banned. This is a 'create a fansite' competition. CREATE. All the sites should have been built for the comp, if your site is not then IMO you're cheating.
I agree. Some sites were built about year ago or even before and they have bigger chance to win now.
BTW. What do you think about my problem?
BTW. What do you think about my problem?
I quite agree with you. It was just dumb luck that I got my site in. I too rightly believed that a 21st deadline means that you can submit the site until its the 22nd.
I took my time reading the forums then sent an email to the admins to get my site in. By pure luck it arrived JUST before the unknown 4pm deadline. I was under the impression at the time that I had till midnight uk time.

No because if you just create a site for the competition I dont think team17 will pick you because they want to choose someone who will carry on their site and not run away with the prize.
BTW my largest post and quote. Yay!
Maybe yes, however only the winner has to carry on his work and in my opinion other sites wchich can be 2-nd or 3-rd shouldn't be judged only for content. I think winner site should have beautiful layout and a lot of content and other sites in first 10 should be mainly good in layout, because content won't be use officially so more important than content is graphic.
Is my site enrolled to the competition... but now that on November 21 has passed.. I can still adjourn the site?????

As you see I'm also waiting for any reply, however I don't see if any administrator is going to answer our question.

Seeing that they didn't mention anywhere that entries had to be in before a certain time on that date and you entered it on the 21st then technically you are entitled to be in the competition. I think Team17 should let you in the competition. Doesn't seem fair to me

I probably haven't got a hope of winning, seeing as my site advertises (and is in some ways, associated with) another, non-Team17 forum; and I used templates rather than raw HTML. (my knowledge of HTML is about as limited as my ability to play Windows games - zero)
Seeing as I'm hopeless at webdesign, I'm quite proud of it though (the site, not the other forum).
It is the first link on the second page of the webkit site. (also, 'www' button below)

I agree, but why did you guys take the risk of submitting the last day? why did you not post couple days ahead expecially since there have been problems with submiting sites all along, I can understand why to wait, but was it really worth it? I mean you must have had your sites almost finished some time before the and-date.

My Worms 3D Website :: http://devoted.to/worms3d
(or click on WWW (just going to change my website address for that now))
Ofcourse you CAN edit your page, I don't see why not.. It's a site, which need to be updated, right?
Rostek, do you know what day it is? Right! Saturday! When do most people work? RIGHT! Monday through Friday.. So you should wait 'till Monday before you'll get a reply :)
Ofcourse you CAN edit your page, I don't see why not.. It's a site, which need to be updated, right?
The FAQ says this on the matter:
How much can I update my site once it has been submitted for Round One?
As much as you like - up until the Round One cut-off date.
I say you can't update it then, or am I wrong?
But if you want to risk it, sure go ahead! :)
im so lucky i didnt update mine then
I go to school :) and during the week I didn't submit my site because I didn't have time and I was sure I can do it on Friday.

I go to school as well but I found time to submit my website. You should of submitted your website early. I doubt that team 17 will now allow your website to be entered into the competition. No matter what excuses you come up with,
You had time - ok. I didn't have and I could add site whenever I wanted . According to rules I had time to 21-th Nov, so in my opinion my site should be entered into competition.
Here they are the sites I think they will go to next round.
Something about my criteria:
1) this is a fansite, so it will have a lot of content that may change and vary very often. So a vortal layout is needed.
No splashpages.
2) this is a worms site. Worm world is cute and rounded, so no hitech layouts.
So, in random order, the top10 are:
1) http://www.rpgtiger2003.de/
the language page should be removed, this is an international site, but next pages are clean, even if fonts need to be changed.
2) http://www.worms3d.owns.it/
not so wormysh, but clean
3) http://www.720webdesign.com/worms/
this is mine, but it's clean and wormysh so I think it will go to 2nd round
4) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jamie.mac1/worms/
very very good header
5) http://www.worldofworms.tk/
dont know why I added this site, but the overall impression is good.
6) http://www.wormyfansite.at.tf/
very nice colors
7) http://www.flodata.se/w3dfansite/
same as for comment to site 5
8) http://www.cubie.dk/worms3d/

I submitted my site on 21-th, so it isn't a problem.
look, if your site isn't in the list NOW, it won't be judged.

But there is a problem. I submitted site on Friday and it wasn't added, so maybe I will be added tomorrow or on Monday.

If I were you, I'd cut my losses and give it up. Team17 closed the competition at 4pm on Friday. Yes, maybe they should have mentioned the cut-off time but they could just as easily have made it 00:00 on Friday, not 16:00; it would still have been within the rules.
It would have been best to safely submit your URL well before the cut-off date and then continue to build and update your site at your own leasure. I doubt you'll get much sympathy from T17.
Ok maybe it's my fault also but I'm only one here who has this problem and really don't want to give up. I'm ambitious and I've been working on this site quite a lot, so I'd like to have a little chance in the competition. I won't win, but I want to take part and know that my site isn't good enough than thinking I hadn't been added ...

I see all websites and for me some of them are incorrect because:
1:this is a fan site competition not a clan page. Is totally unfair the official fan site make publicity at one clan.
2: The open souces for example: PHP Nuke, or templates. Is totally unfair because some guys lose many days to make your own websites, and this guys lose only a few hours to change the aspect.

How do you getBytesLoaded of an external movie clip.
So far my actionscript code is
loadMovieNum("movies/screens/worms3d1.swf",1);
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1024);
totalkbytes=Math.ceil(totalbytes/1024);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
}

You are along the right lines. Firstly, just use loadMovie, not loadMovieNum.
The code you are using currently checks the getBytesLoaded() of the current movie, not the worms3d1.swf you loaded into level 1. You need to put _level1. in front of it, ie:
_level1.loadedbytes=_level1.getBytesLoaded();
Let me know if that helps.

after the bad language selection, a clean site I really hate that one you put at number 1 because of 2 reasons:

2. For the ENGLISH translation there is a USA flag. Where's the logic in that. Enlgish people made the language English, not bloody americans.
I think your site is very good. Very wormy
I think the 4th one isn't so good. It has a good header but it lacks a background.
http://www.worldofworms.tk/ <--- this is very good. I think it should win!
Number 6 looks good but iit looks too small and the worms' tails stick out from behind the circles and it doesn't look right.
Number 7 looks too much like www.worms3d.com
...8...good site but i think it also lacks a background (instead of white i think it would look better with a pale colour)
...9...good layout but there isn't information at the moment and there aren't many links.
...10...good but I don't like white (as you've probably gathered:p) and the font reminds me of some valentine/cupid thing and it puts me off.
On my computer my site don't crash! I ask some people that visit my site and they say nothing! There are no problems!

Sel, do you think you could update the webkit site. When you go on to the links, you only see the first 17 pages.
Initially I didnt realise it went past 17 as I click on the page number, rather than use the back/fourth arrows. There are 27 pages with some nice entries on those and I don't think many people are seeing them.
Maybe have two rows of numbers?

I think any site that was created BEFORE the competition should be banned. This is a 'create a fansite' competition. CREATE. All the sites should have been built for the comp, if your site is not then IMO you're cheating.
Your opinions is that sites that weren't made just for the contest are cheating? Thats funny, since thats basically the complete opposite of what the webkit FAQ says:
Can I enter a redesign of my existing Worms website or clan site?
You can enter as long as your website/clan site is modified to suit the competition and is based on Worms 3D. For example, you can modify a WWP website into a Worms 3D website.
And it also says this, which seems to be more in favour of sites that weren't created just for the contest:
Does my website have to be active or can I just make one for the purpose of this competition?
The winning website will become the official Worms 3D fansite, therefore your website has to be active.
And as Genera says, one of the things they're likely to be taking into account is:
8. If they let that person win, would he keep updating his site. And not run off with the prize? Has he made websites before? Does he update those?
Which site is more likely to be continually updated, the one which has already been running as a worms fansite for some time, or the one created just for this contest which wouldn't have been made at all if it wasn't for the contest?
Oh, and rostek, like vinge said, T17 don't work on weekends, so its a bit unreasonable to expect an immediate reply ;)
As for people wondering about updating their sites, I'd really advise against it - it does specifically say no updating in the rules, is it worth jeopardising your chances in the compo just to add a bit more? Save it for round 2 :)

He didn't put rpgtiger2003.de on #1, did you read the ENTIRE post? So, in random order, the top10 are: See? RANDOM ORDER! :)
The site he DID put on 1 was: 9) http://www.mbit.se/w3dm/
the best in my opinion
[/QOUTE]
:)
Just correcting you, don't mean to offend you or anything..
Vinge, your site is really cool !
but However I would be satisfied also me with the 2° place for now! brrrrr 110 sites...... be a beautiful competition!
:D
What do you think about my site ??
http://www.worms3duniverse.tk
Yeah It's cool, beautiful :D. However you have this site longer so in my opinion it's unfair to take part in the competition.
??????????
My site is already in the competition
Ok, but I'm talking about 2-nd part. It would be unfair for me if you were added to next round.
What do you think about my site ??

It is very pretty but in my opinion it doesn't feel very wormy at all.
Also I noticed that you to have updated your site beyond the round 1 closing date. Are you sure that is wise considering that if it is against the rules then you will be disqualified.
I'm just saying because your site looks really good and it would be a shame if this happened.

Hmm, clearly you completely ignored my post on the subject, so I'll just make the point again... which do you think T17 would prefer to make their official fansite: The site made by someone who just wants to win that sparkly new pc and then probably won't bother updating the site, or the site that has already been running for a while without the incentive of the competition and thus is much more likely to continue being updated?
BTW: I'm not meaning to say that none of the sites made specifically for this compo will win - infact I doubt my own chances due to the number of great entries made for the compo, but I think rostek's view that sites that weren't made specifically for this compo are somehow cheating by entering is rather silly.
