I voted Za-Khazi Run. Too much to see in too little time.

Babysitting, RoR and Canopy - all filled with characters too simple to be interesting. Canopy had interesting tricks but all flash and glitter without substance. In fact, I prefer those who design to be interesting in the characters, combat and plot first and then design interesting tools that advance these aims.

Hmm, interesting. Look at the favorites poll (which only gave one option) and this one. Canopy, love it or hate it, no middle ground.

I think TM created this thread knowing that people were going to vote for scenarios which are in his opinion very good (I've only played VoDT, so I can't judge) for the sole purpose of being able to complain when it happened.

Undead Valley has obviously not been distributed widely enough.

If you pay a little more attention to Canopy, a few of the characters actually are pretty interesting. Honestly, character development in Canopy was pretty much even with Bahssikava in my mind. Canopy's characters just all happened to be ridiculously exaggerated ideologues, where Bahssikava's were RPG stereotypes. Neither bothered me, so neither earned the dubious honor of my vote.

Undead Valley
DaC - buggy
Nine Variations - not really a scenario
RoR - TM has said openly that this was made out of spite, and it shows.

Let's beat him to the punch.

I tolerated EM and couldn't stand RoR. After Canopy, I will likely never play another of his scenarios.

If he designs scenarios for his own pleasure he can ignore this post but if he wants others to enjoy his creations and give them validity, it ain't coming from me.

Undead Valley was never officially distributed. The testing version just leaked. I've nearly finished the latest test, so hopefully all of the bugs will be gone, and people will like the new surprise ending. (Which lets me put Renmtar-Ihnro in it without people complaining.)

That's good news. Never played it as the reviews were horrible enough to warn me off.

...ADoS might have a point. Gauging the stupidity of the community at large is like viewing goatse. First there's disgust, then anger, then acceptance, then reverance.

TM, when did it dawn on you that the community was by and large composed of morons?

Clearly, you do not understand the metaphor! :P

It is like goatse. It is bad, it is not pleasant to behold, and yet one seeks it out, knowing that it is bad. I've known that the community is rife with dimwits for as long as I've known that the receiver is an ass.

Differences of opinion do not make people inherently stupid!

USUALLY not. But there are exceptions. This is one.

:confused: Hm. Looking at this poll lets assume that Emerald Mountain is the best accepted scenario. Comparing this poll with another one that asks for the favorite one shows that EM only got 6% of the votes. Odd.

No one hating Emerald Mountain doesn't necessarily mean that everyone loves it. :P
