Title: [Another Forum Game] Rate that Crusie Ship or Ocean Liner
Post by: MrFlappy102 on December 24, 2008, 18:24:01
Alright this will work like any Rate that forum game, rate the ship in the post before yours on a scale of 1 to 10 than post your own picture. Here's the rules:

1) Make sure your picture shows clearly the ship your talking about, multiple pictures are encouraged.
2) Don't bash or say that other peoples ships are ugly. If you don't like it that's fine
3) Don't start the whole "Which is better Cruise Ships or Ocean Liners?" argument. It always gets ugly.
4) Each post should include:
a)The name of the ship
b) The Cruise Line it's owned by
c) The year the ship was launched in (If you can find it)

Oh and I know I'll get asked this, river cruisers are included.

Company: Royal Carribean
Year launched: 2006

9/10 RMSGreatBritan, I really like that ship.

I'd like to take this oppritunity too clear something up. Were rating the ships not on the cruise lines they sail for. You can say if you like the cruise line or not but don't let that influence your rating of the ship. i only had you put down the cruise line for curiositys sake.

Ocean Liner

Name: RMS Oceanic (third ship to bare the name Oceanic)
Company: White Star Line
Year launched: none (never completed)

This is a ship that White Star Line hoped to build, but was unable to due to the great depression. If built, it probably would have claimed the blue ribbon and given White Star enough business and customers that when White Star merged with Cunard, White Star Line would be the head of the merge, and therefore still be around today.

I think this topic is still a little pointless when we can always rate a Cruise ship or Ocean liner in this topic:

http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,11323.0.html

It can be any ship at all. Scale of 1 to 10, (1 being the lowest)

Sorry Mrflappy, But can I just say I was not influenced by the cruise line.

10/10 there Gigantic. What a triplet of the atlantic there would have been:Oceanic, Queen Mary, and Normandie. I already knew of the planned Oceanic, but i have never seen that model before, thanks!

And now this, radiance of the seas. I like Royal carribean me, Only cruise line were none of their current ships are ugly:

Yes, he did math based on an existing ship they said it would be larger version of. What if they included never-finished ships like this in Ship Sim?

What exactly is the point of having 2 almost identical topics? Let's see what the moderators think.
Title: Re: [Another Forum Game] Rate that Crusie Ship or Ocean Liner

difference is nathan that this topic is more defined into one thing, yours is of a wider variety and broader expansion. but there you go.

But what's the use when you can rate Cruise Ships & Ocean Liners in the one topic?

Sorry, i think i missed the argument, because i can see no argument in this topic  ???

I'm making a fair point. We'll let the mods decide.

This has been disscussed before, but just to tell you guys that this topic is entirely useless. We have a "rate that ship" game and Ocean Liners and Cruise ships are ships so what is the point of this topic? It simply is a bit of posts taken out of "Rate that ship" game. I am getting the feeling that you posted this game just to get posts and just to own a crowded topic. I must admit, it was what I do many times  :-[

So I won't be posting a Ocean Liner or Cruise ship, I will be doing that on the origional topic, sorry.

Why not lock this topic and let it fade away into the 78th page of small talk? (I KNOW you wont do that...)

But anyway... why didn't you start a RATE THAT SUBMARINE game instead? ;D

PS: I GIVE NORWIGEN GEM 4/10
PSS: I GIVE QUEEN VICTORIA 1/10 - For heavens sake she is a cunard liner! I would have expected something beautiful and unique like QM2 or QE2. But what have they done? make another ruddy Vista class ship - another Holland America liner... UUUUUURRRRRRHHHH!

I know the two ships have been rated - just wanted to rate them myself too

That's not why. I just thought that it would be nice too have a more case specific one is all. If you think it's pointless fine, Just don't post here. So, let's just move on and I don't want to hear about this anymore. Let's just go to what I posted it for. Here I will get us moving again:
