The purist vs Innovator "choose your prompt" set up was super fun! The point tallies to get into the Final 8 during the main season would have worked better if there were more than about 8 players active for most of the season lol. But that gave the main season lower stakes leading to a lot of fun projects. Leading to a really fast paced and intense play offs! Had a lot of fun here.
I remember being really impressed by
@pix coming in as a new player half way through the season (the point based system for the main season allowed for that) and learning how to play these kinds of games on the fly. Going from a one paragraph first entry to making it to the final 2!
I think this was the most recent large scale solo game we've had on the forum? So we got a lot of passion projects and really unique ideas here! Ace's Rowlf restaurant,
@DisneyManOne's Fantasyland street show with full scripts,
@kmbmw777's ice planet sci-fi water park,
@spacemt354's Tron coaster (technically a team round, but it was only 3 people and Space was definitely leading the project),
@Disney Dad 3000's India Disneyland, lots of really cool stuff that stand out in my mind even years later!
That was also the first time I saw
@D Hulk's artwork. I remember him doing a really incredible map for a Disney video game we were designing for a group round! I was astounded!
Sidenote: We talk about duplicate accounts being a big factor in SYWTBAI 19, but looking at this retrospective post for season 16
@tcool123 came in both 9th AND 10th place. So, there's precedence!
