I am very surprised by your message, Justin. I didn't discredit your work but you just discredited mine and even tried to influence the jury, which is not very fair. You said "allow me to do the same", but you didn't do the same, you're here for another thing. I would have appreciated a little respect. You could have done what I did and thanked those who voted for you, shown your work, announced things...
Besides, I just thanked people after the voting was over, in all simplicity, which I thought was absolutely normal regardless of the outcome of the contest. It's nothing more. Don't forget that I was attacked here before and that my message is in some way a follow-up.
I can understand that you take up this famous provided and classical argument of bias to discredit the vote (it's often true with a small number of voters, I can only agree with this) but sorry to say that I don't know 170 people out of the 214 who voted for my room. So even without the people I know, my room have far away more votes than yours including people you know. I hope this will give you some perspective on this aspect of things. I can't let you say that, you know... I'm quite comfortable that you prefer your room to the others, which is fine, I sincerely hope so for you since you are the author (I hope you had the honesty to point out the other authors and asked for permission). Besides, I prefer mine of course too, and by far, on all aspects without exception, now I can say it since you allow yourself to compare publicly. I take this opportunity to tell you that there is nothing "depressing" in my room as you say so nicely, it's just the opposite (But Is that really your opinion ? I could say the same for your "clinic with poles", arround your dancefloor, to quote someone). Well, here is my complete answer (sorry in advance but I have to do it too even if I don't like it):
I didn't confuse rave-party and club, I didn't copy-pasted strings of chairs like if people were cows in a farm, I added curves, I added depth, I didn't download any file to make it so it's 100% authentic, I built in different resolutions to make sure people have the best experience, I harmonized all the colors and lights, I didn't highlight the brand in a crude way with too much counter-productive copy/paste (a brand have to take care of its image isn't it ?) but in a more subtle way (you would see it by spawning in my room), I worked very hard on immersion, tried to "tell a story" and do something special, not just another club with just more seats and replicated objects.
So, I deserve a little more respect from you, especially since I didn't do it in 2 days (I would never have participated otherwise, out of respect, even if I am very fast too, this event deserves a lot of work and fine-tuning after work). I don't know what the result of this contest will be but at least I respected all the rules and put my heart into it, it deserves already respect. I have to say, people and jury are judging a room, not a builder, it is therefore useless to justify yourself on the low time you would have invested for your room. Anyway, the speed of building has never made good builders, it is also something accessible quite quickly after a few builds, so all the difference lies in the investment of time, the work of thinking and imagination.
I thought we were going to meet for the first time after the contest to take a beer together and decompress after this unbearable suspense, but I think it's going to be difficult
