Memoirs of an Old Era[Event]

[Pharaoh_]

Memoirs of an Old Era [tr][TD] Description: You have probably been a contestant before. You are probably feeling nostalgia, when you are browsing the Contest Archive. The day to relive your past has come! How does it work?: You will post in this thread one of the contests that you have participated in, in the past, stating that you would like to re-work on your entry. If additional participants of that contest would like to compete once again within that contest, the contest will be reproduced. You are supposed to modify and improve your old entry or create a new one from scratch, under the theme of the repeated contest. At lease 3 users are required for the contest to be repeated. Example: I would like to get the Modelling Contest #2 repeated. What are the awards?: +20 Reputation from the prizes mentioned in the old contest (keep the additional bonus of the Starlight Legacy event in mind). The received prize depends on the position that you will score in the new results. Second Winner golden icon under your profile. With the new batch of the Arena modifications, every contestant will receive 5 reputation (except for the winning entries).

Awww so this applies only to the contests you have entered before ?

 

[PROXY]

Cewl idea, but it would be good to get the running contests finish before starting new old ones.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Exactly.

Cewl idea, but it would be good to get the running contests finish before starting new old ones.

See this as a new contest. We currently have one in the Arena and 2 Mini-Contests running. ;]

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Hmmmm, How about reproducing this?

 

[Pharaoh_]

You need to have an actual participation in that contest, in order to suggest its remake. Do you have an entry there that was judged?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Sadly no, but I'd love to participate, that is, if it's allowed

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Definitely gonna join!

 

[moyackx]

Well, I'd like to redo this old spell of mine, in fact this one was made when I was learning jass:

[Pharaoh_]

Well, as far as I can see, 4 entries were valid back then. You may want to contact those users, in case they are interested, otherwise only yourself or two of you is not enough for the contest to be re-processed.

I had forgotten all about that contest.

So that's two of us so far...

The first contest I ever joined.
It's a Spells and Systems Mini-contest though (Not an Arena Contest). Is that fine?

Not really

It has to be an Arena one!

 

[Freyleyes]

Awwwe, I would also love to see that one redone

But an arena one would be Hero Contest #3

 

[defskull]

What if, the winner already wins the contest, and he wants to apply this event, and if he wins, he'll win twice.
Is that acceptable ?

OFFTOPIC - Pharaoh_

What happens to Legendary Match 2012 Event ?

 

[Almia]

I agree with mag

 

[Unhit]

Paired Mapping Contest #1 was the first and only where I (or in that case, we ) participated in. It would be nice to hear again from the other contestants and whether they are still working/planning to maybe to start working on their projects (as I started again recently). From what I see after searching the map section, nobody is - but maybe a repetition of the contest in the sense of "x weeks for an updated/reworked version of the same basic idea" could rekindle interest.

Yes, that is acceptable.

The off-topic question of yours: Due to the fact that many contestants are no longer active and that the event wasn't well received -given that it was fired in a bad phase for the Hiveworkshop's community-, it will be reorganized into a new, fresh one, with different theme and functioning. The contestants will receive 12 reputation each for their work.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm gonna redo my Solo Mini-Mapping Contest #7 contest. Meaning I'll create a new boss battle.

Any other want to do an entry from that competition? Or any other that includes at least somehow making a new boss battle? I wanna create boss fights!

 

[Kitabatake]

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/contest-archive-227/modeling-competition-1-a-30737/ go go?

I'm sure we'd all do so much better this time around.

You ALWAYS wanna create a boss fight...But I am feeling it too. Count me in...given it does not start untill December.

Boss fights are pretty easy to create as they don't need that much time to create. Everyone can create one more boss fights within a week or two.

Agree, wouldn't mind taking another shot at Solo Mapping Contest #7. I know I could have done a bit better if not for Diablo taking up all my free time

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay, great. So now we have three people with the same contest idea!

When shall we start?

 

[Lordkoon]

Hold on. I won't be able to participate untill the hero contest is over 12 days from now.

Solo Mini-Mapping Contest #7 will be repeated.

 

[Tickles]

So how does the rewind work? Do we have the wait for an official thread be posted up for it before we can get started?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea I don't want to wait few months until something starts to happen. I'm hungry!

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So is this going forward or what do we wait? If we wait too long we might lose our motivation.

I would like to start my boss battle soon as possible.

 

[Tickles]

Yep, some confirmation about whether it's starting within this next week would be nice at least.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I can start it today, no problem by my side. Let's finalize it though, I will initiate it on Wednesday.

Finally, you are still free to suggest other contests. Two repeated contests is the limit.

[JollyD]

I want to parcipiate again in icon contest 9 or icc 10.

 

[Sephalo]

I don't want to mess up rules or start making trouble or something. But is there a chance this could be more friendly towards new hivers or people that didn't join contests that often?

With that I mean that I've seen contests going on which I would've LOVED to enter if I only had the time for it during those periods. So I didn't really 'enter' a contest while I've watched them very closely.
The people that had the time back then, get rewarded now because they can have 'the fun all over again'. While those that didn't participate in the first contest because of a lack of time feel the grudge again because now that they have the time they can't join the fun because they basically missed 'the required participation' from the first contest.

I really like the effort you're putting in the site Pharaoh_ and I think this is a great idea of you to revive some contests so don't get me wrong, what we got right now is already better then doing nothing. But I'm just trying to express my feelings because it makes me kind of sad to see a big ass contest while I'm not allowed to join. It makes me feel as if I'm not welcome because I haven't been one of those 'core contest contestants'.

I don't even care about the rewards so maybe you can make a rule that people that didn't enter the first contest can't get the reward. So only getting judged and, maybe even, winning should be fair... Well I don't know... Just think about my point of view.

 

[SA Dashie]

I think that Pharaoh only did it this way because if contestants didn't join the original contest they wouldn't have the chance to work on there original map from that last contest, leaving them with being forced to build a map from scratch to have to compete with others that have this advantage.
Would off been nice to let the others join even though they didn't have an entry last time either way.

 

[I3lackDeath]

I want to parcipiate again in icon contest 9 or icc 10.

Well well, since we found someone who is willing to rejoin an IC, I'd be available for this aswell (IC #9).

What would the deadline be, by the way? Do you set them accordingly, Pharaoh_, or are they the same for all rewinded contests?

 

[Pharaoh_]

You need at least one more contestant for the contest to rewind.

@Teuncreemers, your input is valuable. I may create an additional type of contest for that, under the event of Reeeewind.

Yup, I know that, I merely applied aswell, seeing we have one candidate so far.

 

[Kitabatake]

What was the point in forbidding new contestants from joining these contests?
I really cannot see any reason for this.

 

[Almia]

^Me too.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Guys, we've been through this already. It's an event, it's not an actual contest. If you want an actual contest, go to Contest Submission and post your ideas for the next one (be it modelling, be it techtree, be it texturing, be it terraining, be it anything). Don't react as if you got banned from the Arena.

The point is to give contestants from older contests a chance to varnish their entries and possibly enhance them with new knowledge over the editor. However, in order to avoid heavy limitations, they were also allowed to make a completely new entry under that theme. With that being said, I see no reason why do you complain over this. If you have participated in a contest in the past, find its contestants and let's get it rewinded. As for the new users, the contests from the arena didn't stop, neither the Mini-Contests which are being continuously hosted.

And how exactly would this suffer from having new contestants in the mix?

 

[Pharaoh_]

New contestants are new contestants. They will wait until the next contest of their interest is hosted.

Ah, so there was no real reason, just as I speculated.
Thank you for answering.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Not sure what kind of conspiracy theory you wanted me to admit, but while I had seen a few members saying "ah, what a nice theme it was", I decided to repeat contests from the past.

However, you still sound annoyed (or may I say, ironic), what is it that you still want it resolved?

 

[I3lackDeath]

I don't see how this is "unfriendly" towards "new hivers". This is a special event, therefor special criteria apply.
New users can easily enter active and actual contests or submit ideas for new ones in the Arena.

What was the point in forbidding new contestants from joining these contests?
I really cannot see any reason for this.

I don't see why this event /should/ allow new contestants. Do you want to enter this, despite not having been a candidate in any of these previous contests that can potentially be rewinded? Note that this is not meant to offend you, I merely wonder why this has come up in the first place. :V

Apologies for the tone. No need to overinterpret.
I wasn't looking for conspiracies, I simply wanted to know if there was an actual logical reason behind the contrived rule of forbidding entries (as the common problem with contests often seems to be a lack of entries).

what is it that you still want it resolved?

As I said, I already got my answer.
There is nothing more to resolve.



Edit:

I don't see why this event /should/ allow new contestants. Do you want to enter this, despite not having been a candidate in any of these previous contests that can potentially be rewinded?

Oh god, what's with the conclusion-jumping today?
No, I'm not looking to join the contests.

I was simply baffled at seeing contestants being turned down and decided to ask the reason behind the rule.
No need to overinterpret, no need to get all sentimental about it.
It was just a question and it was already answered. Thank you.
