It's RRR time again! This time, you can vote for your favorite files released in Q4 2009. A whopping 30 files have been released this quarter, so make sure to vote!

Click on Comments to read on.

The basic rules of the RRR are as follows:

1) You can vote for one D-Mod and for one Non D-Mod file. You cannot vote for two D-Mods or two Non D-Mod files.
2) Voting is done by posting a reaction in this topic with your choice.
3) You can not change your vote. So make sure you think before voting!

I can't really vote for non-D-Mod files cause I haven't downloaded that many. But let's just go with "snow to grass tiles".

D-Mod vote goes to "Day of the Carcass".

I don't give a crap about the non-dmod files at this point.

D-mod vote: Dink's Nightmare. I love it! If I ever get around to making a d-mod I'll have something similar to train up on (It will be called "The Dungeon of Endless Crap").

Chris, the news post says "The two D-Mods and two Non D-Mod files with the highest amount of votes of each RRR will participate in the Download of the Year Awards for their respective category in february *next* year."

Maybe instead of "next" you should say "this".

Lost Shoes is a piece of crap (no offense to the author), someone else should vote Dink's Nightmare so it takes 2nd place in the contest.

D-Mod vote: The Quest for Not Quite as Lame

I enjoyed playing The Quest for Not Quite as Lame more than I did playing Day of the Carcass but that's probably because I made it and had enough of playing it after countless of test runs. I would have voted for Day of the Carcass but since it's obviously going to win (like it should ) I'm voting for The Quest for Not Quite as Lame for being absolutely hilarious.

I still need to think about the non D-Mod files so I guess I'll vote for that later.

Not EvilEarl, you can't vote because you are not a well-known Dinker.

Neither is EvilEarl so I guess he can't vote either.

EvilEarl is well known enough. And no, the ghost vote won't count... For clarity's sake, I'm going to delete votes that aren't eligible.

Oooh let's vote!

My vote for best non-Dmod file goes to....*drumroll* 'where's your head at' baby! c'mon guys, a headless duck you can stick on your window! And with the absolutely spiffing montage... wooh! This is just *awesome*... yeah... Nah, okay, but I've got one file, so that's worth a vote, right?

Best D-mod: The Quest for the Not Quite as Lame.
Really cool and funny, though the mapping could be a bit more detailed, in my opinion... Day of the Carcass is cool too, but that's a demo, so I'll wait for the real big thing

Skull is kinda right, I don't care to post that much (atleast for now until I have some actual DMOD progress to share), but I've been into Dink since time immemorial: I first found out about TDN when there were about 30 DMODs in here...

I liked both Quest for not Quite as Lame and Day of the Carcass. A tough decision. I promised Pillbug that I would betatest his D-Mod, but I failed him and forgot the whole thing... In return, I promised that I would make a review to the D-Mod, which I haven't done yet either. I'm sorry Pillbug.

As for the both mods, I found that they were both entertaining in different ways. Pillbugs D-Mod was a fun one, although the environment lacked of details (since I am a detail freak sometimes, this was a letdown). Erwins D-Mod was a very well scripted D-Mod, in fact one of the best scripted D-Mods I've encountered so far. I also appreciated the effort Erwin had lade on the environment and atmosphere.

I guess I'll break the tie now...

D-Mod: Day of the Carcass

Non D-Mod: (I haven't checked these files out yet, ZARI!)

I'll run away now.

Closing this RRR is taking a little longer than planned because of my kickass party yesterday. I'll let it open for 1 more hour, after that, your vote will not be counted!

My votes:

Non D-Mod: Dink Wallpaper 3 (because it's extremely cute and well done)

D-Mod: Day of the Carcass (epic, clever, and I'm dying for the full release. Release it Erwin!)
