SYWTBAI: Years in Review

[spacemt354]

In the old days of this game - there used to be a blog, which has now evolved into video podcasts -- to give feedback and also to act as an archive to the projects since the old site got shut down.
http://imagineeringarchives.blogspot.com/2013/03/season-eight-project-one-feedback.html

This thread will act as an archive for the seasons that spanned both VisionsFantastic, sywtbai.com, and wdwmagic

Jesus that's frightening that I've played this game just as many times as BasketBuddy. I had zero idea that I've been a part of 7 season.

I really love the idea of this thread and I can't wait to see what else becomes as the season progresses.

Also, if anyone is interested, I have 85% of Season 11 in a google doc somewhere if anyone wants to see it,

Actually I just needed to update it because Basketbuddy joined Season 14 after I made this, so you're one season behind if that makes you feel better haha.

By all means please share it that's what this is for mostly. Just looking back at old concepts.

 

[spacemt354]

Edit -- clearly I can't do simple math. Looking at it again this is Basketbuddy's 9th season playing and your 6th playing (2 were hosting), so forgive me while I edit that

 

[spacemt354]

The Season 18 cast and winners have been updated!

 

[JokersWild]

It still hurts to see that I’ve played that many seasons....

This thread is just SYWTBAI statistics and Jokers fretting over time spent on internet games...

Three years ago, I offered to post Season 11. Finally, right on time, here it is, posted on this day, September 18th 2020 as originally intended.

There are a few projects missing, but it still serves as a great time capsule of what we were doing back in 2012 (?). This was literally everything that I was able to salvage from VisionsFantastic after its' closing.

So, You Want to be an Imagineer: Season 11​

Mickey's Madcap Circus is a true gem reading through it, so glad that was saved.

 

[spacemt354]

Also for folks wondering why there is no winner for Season 15, long story short it ended up morphing into a collaborative theme park rather than a competition. Out of the 6 seasons I've observed since the wdwmagic transition, it's up there just below Season 18 for me as one of the game-changing seasons.

It was tied for the largest cast (21) in history, made up of many new players to the game that went on to make bigger contributions down the road with Disney Dad winning Season 16 and Ace hosting Season 17

It ended up being a great team effort! American Mystery with The Shining dark ride was so much fun to work on

That one was all @MANEATINGWREATH and it’s definitely the best project of that season.

 

[spacemt354]

Do you guys know the dates (month/year) for the earlier seasons (pre-wdwmagic)? I remember there were retrospective podcasts on them but I don't recall the dates for each

 

[JokersWild]

Generally, the VF seasons ran April/May to August, and October to January (?). @TheOriginalTiki is probably a better authority than I am, but that's what I'm remembering offhand. I believe that the game moved to once a year (summer) after Season 8 or 9, with a smaller game, done by various groups of people, taking the winter spot.

EDIT: Season 11 ran from May to September of 2013.

Sounds good thank you - reason I was asking was because as long as I've got some time I wanted to add in dates and other tidbits so it's always there for reference.

Yo sorry to resurrect this long-dead thread. I was here trying to find links to each WDWM season for research purposes, but I'm leaving empty-handed.

However, I think I worked out a rough timeline for some of the later VF seasons. This should be accurate.

Season 7: May/ June 2010 - August 2010
Season 8: October 2010 - January 2011
Season 9: June 2011 - August 2011
Season 11: June 2013 - September 2013
Season 12: February 2014 - June 2014

Season 10 eludes me, but I'm like 70% sure that it was a winter season because I remember being in school while it was running.

 

[Mickeynerd17]

Why did Season 15 have no winner?

Was there a controversy or something?
