Make Your Move 8: -TOP 50 POSTED-

Determined to do something of use for Make Your Move this weekend, at the haunted hour of 2am, I endeavour to express my current thoughts on the situation we find ourselves in within our contest, and community as a whole. I would usually post this sort of thing in the stadium, but I feel like it would actually reach out to more people if posted in the thread.

First and foremost; I wanted to say where we specifically are in terms of the contest. We're in-between the voting and posting of the top fifty, which is currently being moderated by the leadership: Marth Trinity, Master Warlord, Bkupa666, Junahu and I comprising this team. This is stating the obvious, yet I don't see any indication of this: perhaps one person will actually benefit from this paragraph? Who knows.

Secondly, I'd like to give my opinion on the idea of quantity versus quality in this contest. As we've seen, it was disastrous for us once the apathy truly hit. It seems like the absence of Wizzerd and general slothfulness of both the leadership and regular membership caused some kind of vacuum of inactivity that dragged our entire existence down into a near oblivion. It is no joke when I say that – I don't think we've ever reached such a low point as within those couple of months, where we only produced a handful of movesets.

The simplicity of it is that we need to make sets again. Many have stopped, many have come so far and then given up... incentives have already been given in the form of the graveyard, but it is only to come from the blood and bones of the community where we will find the solution to this problem. We saw an echo of past greatness in the last few days; we have to replicate it for much of the contest unless we want to further test the lower boundaries. For instead of judging how far we have progressed from MYM8, we will be judging how few sets we are getting per week, how few comments and posts have been made... the end will be in sight if that is the case.

That is why I personally swear to be as active as I can in Make Your Move 9, and endorse any similar posts or feelings from fellow members. Only through this spontaneous and electric sort of connection can we overcome our current dilemma, for there is no quick fix.

I expect the usual crowd such as Junahu and KRool will ignore this post: and plenty of others. However, it is the truth. Though to me, it feels like it needs re-affirming, as otherwise it becomes all too easy to slip into ignorance. I have heard others say Make Your Move is destined to end now, that making movesets is "out" or that we are outdated... these are all false prophecies.

 

[Rychu]

I swear to comment every moveset to the best of my ability next contest, Smady. You have my word. I also want to say, again to the best of my ability, that I will produce at least 1 set every 2-3 weeks.

Just doing my part.


I hope that others make a similar vow. We need to prove to ourselves that MYM isn't dead. And, hopefully, will not die any time soon

I appreciate your dedication and welcome the support, Geto. It is important to distinct that we are in control of this contest, and thus it can go anywhere it wants; we can support it with even more sets with MYM2 if we choose, so it is our responsibility alone to keep it as happy and alive as possible.

I have heard others say Make Your Move is destined to end now, that making movesets is "out" or that we are outdated... these are all false prophecies.

The moveset drought was the exact reason why I made that controversial post. I was hoping to offer a solution to the drought. It's not that I gave up or anything.

I'd think that there's a obvious reason why people don't do as many sets as in the old days. I guess there's generally not a whole heap of motivation in the threads due to the lack of sets in the first place, which is basically causing even more problems. Generally people are going to be more hyped up about making a set if there are more sets than if there are not a lot. With this, MYM is generally a branch of humanity in where the combined efforts of people can do quite a lot.

I guess that you'll also make more sets if you have fun actually doing it. Personally, MYM was fun back when I started; to me the idea was to make every attack as flashy as possible like back in MYM4. These were actually FUN to imagine.

Personally I have more fun making sets that have fun interactions with them, traps, and summons, especially when you can imagine them all. Heatran, Gorea remake and Dio Brando were all fun to imagine and are easily on my top list. The only thing was that people were like no towards them and stuff during MYM6 and stuff. I guess I should just ignore them and do what I please. There's a lot of peer pressure, and perhaps people should generally do what they think is most fun rather than listen to others. Think about it: which kind of MYM would get the most sets in a competition; one where people do what they like for fun without being pressured by the others, or a competition where people go by the book and are pressured to send out a certain piece of work and try to impress others? I think that a lot of people are being controlled by peer pressure, and they may not know it.

The point is, that people should perhaps try to make what they want rather than what others want. I can be accounted as hypocritical for saying this, as Im always thinking that my moves have to be flashy and stuff.

Seems fair enough. The three tops had the best stacks of quality sets, although I'm kind of surprised DM didn't get more votes considering the popularity of Magmortar and Hariyama. I suppose I got what I deserved here.

That's a surprise - thanks to everyone who voted Weezing, I'm chuffed to have beaten such fine candidates as Hariyama and Octillery... definitely unexpected, though I imagine this was more about the content of the sets being in-character than actually more valuable. In that sense, I can see how Weezing could be seen as the "best" Pokemon moveset.

Wizzerd scored over Mendez?

Kibble won't be missed for much longer, so it makes sense that he's more on people's minds. Really, though? Who the hell misses Wizzerd? He only went missing a few weeks ago, and we have a search party out looking for the poor boy. And with Spade gone, we can only guess what could have happened to him.

Congrats to all the winners, and remember, everyone on this list had to be nominated regardless of how many votes they got, so every set and user nominated has gotten its due attention! And thanks to everyone who voted too!

And a massive thanks from everyone in Make Your Move for your awards once again, Silver. As far as I'm concerned, you should keep this tradition going for as long as you can; you do a great job.

The moveset drought was the exact reason why I made that controversial post. I was hoping to offer a solution to the drought. It's not that I gave up or anything.

This basically describes why I hesitated in posting that large piece on inactivity. It's somewhat self-defeating in that, I don't think you can force people to be more active - this contest is about having fun primarily, at least as an attraction. People aren't going to stay because you say the contest is "dying" [it isn't, and there isn't enough of a reason to care] and sure as hell aren't going to stay because you order them to. So, it simply comes down to individuals dedicating themselves like a bunch did in Make Your Move 8. Easier to say than do.

 

[Hyper_Ridley]

Wow, this time I didn't get anything at all. Not even a single vote for best joke set >_>

Looks like Axel Gear was posted a contest too early, as I have no desire whatsoever to make sets anymore if I'm such a washed-up has been.

Spoiler

Edit: Just to cover my @$$, I'm talking about solo sets. My current joints (Raichu and Zoroark) will be finished, and then every several months if I'm in an absolutley perfect mood I'll consider doing a joint.

 

[Monkey D. AWESOME]

Determined to do something of use for Make Your Move this weekend, at the haunted hour of 2am, I endeavour to express my current thoughts on the situation we find ourselves in within our contest, and community as a whole. I would usually post this sort of thing in the stadium, but I feel like it would actually reach out to more people if posted in the thread.

First and foremost; I wanted to say where we specifically are in terms of the contest. We're in-between the voting and posting of the top fifty, which is currently being moderated by the leadership: Marth Trinity, Master Warlord, Bkupa666, Junahu and I comprising this team. This is stating the obvious, yet I don't see any indication of this: perhaps one person will actually benefit from this paragraph? Who knows.

Secondly, I'd like to give my opinion on the idea of quantity versus quality in this contest. As we've seen, it was disastrous for us once the apathy truly hit. It seems like the absence of Wizzerd and general slothfulness of both the leadership and regular membership caused some kind of vacuum of inactivity that dragged our entire existence down into a near oblivion. It is no joke when I say that – I don't think we've ever reached such a low point as within those couple of months, where we only produced a handful of movesets.

The simplicity of it is that we need to make sets again. Many have stopped, many have come so far and then given up... incentives have already been given in the form of the graveyard, but it is only to come from the blood and bones of the community where we will find the solution to this problem. We saw an echo of past greatness in the last few days; we have to replicate it for much of the contest unless we want to further test the lower boundaries. For instead of judging how far we have progressed from MYM8, we will be judging how few sets we are getting per week, how few comments and posts have been made... the end will be in sight if that is the case.

That is why I personally swear to be as active as I can in Make Your Move 9, and endorse any similar posts or feelings from fellow members. Only through this spontaneous and electric sort of connection can we overcome our current dilemma, for there is no quick fix.

I expect the usual crowd such as Junahu and KRool will ignore this post: and plenty of others. However, it is the truth. Though to me, it feels like it needs re-affirming, as otherwise it becomes all too easy to slip into ignorance. I have heard others say Make Your Move is destined to end now, that making movesets is "out" or that we are outdated... these are all false prophecies.

You have my full support, Smady. I know I've been slacking off and making excuses, and that ends in MYM9. It's about **** time I started living up to my promises.

I, Monkey D. AWESOME, vow to at least make Raichu, Denchura, and Shibirudon during MYM9. And you know what? Why stop there? The sky's the limit.

 

[Crewx]

i'm surprised I even placed 3rd. Wow.

I presume MYM9 will be up soon?

 

[gcubedude]

Determined to do something of use for Make Your Move this weekend, at the haunted hour of 2am, I endeavour to express my current thoughts on the situation we find ourselves in within our contest, and community as a whole. I would usually post this sort of thing in the stadium, but I feel like it would actually reach out to more people if posted in the thread.

First and foremost; I wanted to say where we specifically are in terms of the contest. We're in-between the voting and posting of the top fifty, which is currently being moderated by the leadership: Marth Trinity, Master Warlord, Bkupa666, Junahu and I comprising this team. This is stating the obvious, yet I don't see any indication of this: perhaps one person will actually benefit from this paragraph? Who knows.

Secondly, I'd like to give my opinion on the idea of quantity versus quality in this contest. As we've seen, it was disastrous for us once the apathy truly hit. It seems like the absence of Wizzerd and general slothfulness of both the leadership and regular membership caused some kind of vacuum of inactivity that dragged our entire existence down into a near oblivion. It is no joke when I say that – I don't think we've ever reached such a low point as within those couple of months, where we only produced a handful of movesets.

The simplicity of it is that we need to make sets again. Many have stopped, many have come so far and then given up... incentives have already been given in the form of the graveyard, but it is only to come from the blood and bones of the community where we will find the solution to this problem. We saw an echo of past greatness in the last few days; we have to replicate it for much of the contest unless we want to further test the lower boundaries. For instead of judging how far we have progressed from MYM8, we will be judging how few sets we are getting per week, how few comments and posts have been made... the end will be in sight if that is the case.

That is why I personally swear to be as active as I can in Make Your Move 9, and endorse any similar posts or feelings from fellow members. Only through this spontaneous and electric sort of connection can we overcome our current dilemma, for there is no quick fix.

I expect the usual crowd such as Junahu and KRool will ignore this post: and plenty of others. However, it is the truth. Though to me, it feels like it needs re-affirming, as otherwise it becomes all too easy to slip into ignorance. I have heard others say Make Your Move is destined to end now, that making movesets is "out" or that we are outdated... these are all false prophecies.

I can tell you, Smady, that although I've been very inactive for this contest, I plan to make my dynamic entrance in MYM9, as I'm in the process of making two sets (don't know which one to finish first, I love both characters), and I have plans for at least 2 others. I also plan to be more active and try to comment on everyone's movesets, since I have a lot more free time now than I did before.

Congrats to everyone on their MYM awards! Here's to a great MYM9!

btw, has a date been decided for MYM9, or is it gonna be whenever y'all feel like it? cuz I wanna post my first moveset on the first page, if I could

 

[darth meanie]

i'm surprised I even placed 3rd. Wow.

I presume MYM9 will be up soon?

Not really. The Top 50 is still being tabulated, and there's usually a bit of a breather in between contests.

The start date hasn't been decided yet, but December 1st is probably the very earliest plausible date.

 

[Neherazade]

wait...

Wrkngclsshr WASN'T Hyper_Ridley's "alt-account-for-teh-lulz?"

I thought it was... for like 4 months now... >.<
congrats to all the winners of MYM awards...
______________________________________________________________

What with life getting in the way, I posted naught more than 3 times this MYM (and none of them were sets). Yet the one-year anniversary of my first, worst, and only MYM set to day approaches... I feel I cannot let my "real life" ruin my MYM life.

so this next MYM, I WILL find time to type up the 50-some pages of character concepts I have. I WILL organize an actual joint set. and I WILL finally submit that "joint set" from MYM 8 (yeah. the one from December 2009 that was never posted).

BRING IT ON WORLD! HERE I CO- *banned for egotistical optimism*

Well I -HOPED- to do well here considering, ya know? All three of my sets were from Capcom games? Didn't expect to tie for first though, thought Edgeworth would far and away win it. Still though, great to see Q has his fans.

still would’ve liked to not to include this, but it got nominated several times <.<

Holy three way ties Batman. Even though it wasn't really a joke set, it's great to see people enjoyed Sadako. Fun Fact: I originally planned to make the entirety of her moveset with playstyle and everything within the quoted bit but figured that'd detract too much from the "spookiness" of it, so I scrapped it and went for the much shorter route.

[Katapultar]

Regarding MYM's condition over the recent months, I think I have an idea as to why MYM is dying: the current concept of "Make Your Move" is not broad enough. MYM is only a competition that accepts complete sets and houses a lot of pressure on the people who participate. Let me ask this: if websites such as Deviantart were solely based on competition, do you think that they would be as popular as they are? Do you think Super Smash Bros would be as popular as it is if it was ONLY a competitive game?

It's up to you whether you want to reply to this or not.

When Make Your Move was first founded by Fawriel, it was designed to be a place where people could submit ideas for characters that they wanted in Smash. If you read the Front Page of the original competition, you'll actually see that Assist Trophies were allowed for entry, something that is overlooked today. On the other hand, Fawriel did make it known that Make Your Move was a competition.

I think it's time to admit that it's not enough for Make Your Move to ONLY be a competition. What it needs is a more casual feel that welcomes any idea, something the current world totally lacks. For example, thunder999 made a moveset for Garchomp early on. The moveset even begins with 'enjoy', something of a casual feel. The only problem was that the set didn't get included in the list of movesets JUST because it was missing Aerials and Grabs. Because of that, people in the future won't be aware of Garchomp because it was never written in the official history books of MYM. Forget the basic moveset requirements, a Smash World Forum member came to this Thread to make a set for a character he liked, and it didn't get included in the Stadium. That is so unfair. This is an example of MYM's nature at this time, it is a competition that doesn't like anything missing.

There's also ryuu seika's 4 Tales Characters. The author actually stated that he was told to post his sets in the Make Your Move thread, and no other thread on Smash World Forums would accept them. This actually got to me in a way when I became aware of it. It taught me that Make Your Move is the only place in where people can post their set ideas for what they want in Smash. They can do whatever they like. Since Make Your Move is the only place people can post their set ideas, I realized that the members need to open up to whatever ideas people want to present, or else it will remain or enter a worse state that it is currently in.


The idea of Future Make Your Move is that competition is toned down and all sets regardless of how much work has been put in, assist trophies, bosses, stages, Story Modes, or any kind of extra becomes accepted. These can all be made into lists on The Stadium under their various sections. Future Make Your Move will NOT be presented as a competition, but rather a thread in which anybody can post any ideas they like for a fictional Super Smash Bros Universe, not just playable characters. Also, people should be able to introduce characters they want to do anytime in the thread to encourage more activity.

For those engrossed in the competition, that won't be taken away. Instead, people can choose to nominate their sets (for participation in the competitions) and competitions can be held over time, like the MYM Awards and Top 50.


For MYM9, many changes need to take place. Trying to increase the competitive activity WON'T be enough. If MYM9 doesn't see through to these changes, it will have no choice but to if the current stature of the competition degrades. I think that keeping MYM as a competition is only going to hurt it. Changing it to a casual feel could increase the activity and bring it to a new age.

Changing it to a casual feel could increase the activity and bring it to a new age.

The problem with removing the competitive nature of the contest is that it was a natural evolution from Fawriel's original idea. By centralising set making into a single thread, it was only inevitable that the submissions would be judged against one another. From there, we saw the progression made by users like Mendez - like myself, a person who had been visiting these forums and participating in proxy set-making threads before Brawl came out - who were able to further centralise things like reviews in creating a leadership structure.

The contest is the foundation of pretty much everything. Without it, there'd be no hierarchy and no reason to participate beyond simply having fun... and Make Your Move would be putting itself at huge risk to rely on random users at Smash World Forums to log in and make movesets once or twice, with similar results. What we've always thrived on is the community, capable of producing dozens of high-quality sets and the admission of more users into the community who are found on the forum.

To put it in layman's terms, we can neither negate the competition nor can we make the contest "more fun," it's more of an attitude change that's needed. There's a lot of apathy, that can only be overcome through persevering and simply making sets again. What's good about the competition is that, whoever is responsible for such a reinvigoration would be rewarded, not only through the community as a whole, but through the top fifty and other such real awards.

That said, we're not at crisis point anymore, but we're certainly not doing well for activity. Things will get worse before they get better, unless we pull through as a community - and I have faith that we will.

 

[goldwyvern]

Hello. I dont post often, but this time I have a reason. I need to ask MYM a favor. After following some kind of link, my computer got some sort of fake virus **** and I had to delete that account and start a new one. Thing is, no matter my browser or flash settings, the xat chatroom cannot work correctly. My computer overall is back to normal however, so no need to worry. Id like to ask a -big- favor of MYM. And that is this:

I am sincerely requesting the MYM leadership to find a new chatroom.

I know this is a huge request because we've been using xat for around 5 contests worth of time, but we need a new one if Im ever going to be able to chat with you guys again. I dont care what, as long as its free and doesnt download like Skype (Im not too fond of the phone number usage in Skype. Sorry but Im a bit paranoid about privacy.)

I dont care if Im hated by all of MYM because of this switch. But unless you want to see me roughly 95% less (when was the last time I was in the thread a lot?), this needs to happen. Plus, there were owner and mod issues before, as well as raids by non-MYMers, glitchiness, and overall undesirable qualities to xat, right? The only reason we stayed was tradition and a small handful of good smilies.

The largest loss will be Goo Chains, but god dammit if we cant type (GOO) in any chatbox.

As I said, hate me all you want. Metaphorically burn me at the stake, whatever. I just want the company of the greatest ****ing online community there is. 4chan and Youtube dont bide my time forever, y'know.

Sincerest apologies for the suddeness,

-GW​

 

[Hyper_Ridley]

There IS a secondary chatroom in the form of the shoutbox. Link's in the social group.

So I guess everyone should jump there while Wyvern fixes Xat. (wary)

 

[n88]

I don't think you'll be all that hated, GW. I'm not particularly attached to xat. I've only used Shoutbox once, but I don't really remember anything about it besides liking it less than xat.

Also, Goo chains are a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

 

[Thrice]

Oh hay, it's that Thrice guy again. So yeah... we have the Shoutbox but uh...it's pretty terrible. The only thing I've ever used it for is communicating with Agi on his DS.

All I can think of is Skype, really. You say that you don't like the phone numbers but well...you don't actually use them. You don't CALL people's home phones or anything. It's purely computer stuff. If you really want to, you can just lie about everything and make up false info if you don't trust us. Lady herself knows Kupa "Reginald Smith" did.

If we're gonna move, it'll be to Skype. Only real alternative to Xat that doesn't suck ***. I suppose AIM or something could work, but Skype just offers a lot more than things like that.

 

[Deleted member]

AIM really wouldn't work... somehow, despite XAT being browser-based, our current chatroom is still ten times as good.

 

[MarthTrinity]

I've never even placed in the Top 50 before, so this is a pleasant surprise. Thanks to everyone who voted for me this contest!

And congratulations to everyone, whether you placed high, low, or not at all. Everyone contributed to an interesting and fun contest! Here's to a great MYM9!

 

[Deleted member]

So...nice to know I managed to crack top 20 with Edgey! Kinda disappointed about it being shift down (nice job Junahu (clap)), but still pretty happy he placed high. Kinda wanted Ventus to be higher too, but I'm glad he got onto the top 50 as well!

Other people I'm happy for are MT, n88, and FlyinFil! Glad to know that Q, Kamek, and Omi placed fairly high as well! as for the rest of the top 50, it all seemed pretty obvious (though I personally didn't like Skeleton THAT much...). I am very surprised by Spartan Warrior, and Secret Apprentice placing. No offense to JOE or DM, but I felt that neither of these sets felt top 50 worthy.

Otherwise, congrats to the winners! Here's to the future!

Comments on the top fifty in this video.

For this post, though, I'd like to congratulate everybody in what was a rather interesting contest and a great accomplishment with the top fifty. Many thank you's to Marth Trinity for putting this all together; to Make Your Move 9!

 

[gcubedude]

Congratulations to everyone, even those who didn't place in the Top 50. I didn't have time to read all of the sets, but those I did read were very good, and I'm sad that some of my favorites didn't get Top 50. Nowadays, I have more free time, so I plan on reading and commenting on each and every set in MYM9. I'll also be posting a set or two, so be on the lookout.
