He posted this recently. I think he's just returned from a long absence.

 

[-Berz-]

Hanky won't host anything. He's busy in real life.

 

[Hanky]

Yes Im really busy right now. Maybe after I moved finally to berlin. But right now hosting a contest would be impossible for me. Since I just can really work on the weekend.

 

[Yixx]

@ EoW, yes i was inspired by your 1337th post, want credit for it? D:

@ Berzeker, tnx ^^

@ Hanky, good luck moving,, hope you can get some time to make some more 1.337 natives,,


Nao to the pointz, hvo or DSD must host,, who?

 

[Element of Water]

@ EoW, yes i was inspired by your 1337th post, want credit for it? D:

Lol. I want 300 rep + a place on your list of very nice people who made it possible for you to live on the hive.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

We could host it ourselves, maybe. We just choose a theme (Physics won the poll) and then everyone creates a spell or something and at the end we vote for the one we want. And everyone repz the winner.

 

[Element of Water]

The winner's prize will be 10 reputation points, and earn a spot in the "Spells/Systems Hall of Fame" (the list of winners of this contest).

How would we do that then? Lots of people give rep? But then you wouldn't be able to get extra rep from people who will just rep you anyway for winning. And we can't exactly edit the hall of fame on our own.

 

[-Berz-]

Well someone should be in charge at least and hold the thing together.

 

[Element of Water]

Basically, we need a mod to do it. Maybe one of us could get themselves promoted especially for this...?

 

[Paladon]

...or you just pm someone.

 

[-Berz-]

...or just make a spell (following the theme)and submit it in spell section? ^^

 

[Element of Water]

Nah too disorganised.

I already PM'd someone like 2 weeks ago and nothing's happened...

 

[Paladon]

I honestly doubt that one of the spells mods (except maybe dsg) would host one.
And Hanky already said he can't.

 

[Element of Water]

Wouldn't hvo-busterkomo do it? And is aznricepuff as a jass moderator eligible?

 

[Paladon]

You forgot wyrmlord.

But you better investigate yourself. I'm not the right one to ask.

 

[baassee]

Lawls seems that I have to join this too

Day/Night, gah will be to many moon or sun spells with it, booooriing althought doesnt mean too

Psychics, contains math obviously and I can only say one thing about that, paladon will win there! But best choice anyways

Soul, ehum seems old fashion to me, little bit to related to stuff like darkness?

I dont have any suggestion but if we have a comp comming up, I will try to be there!

 

[Element of Water]

Meh, physics already won the poll. But soul has NOTHING to do with darkness... What do you mean about it being "old fashioned"?

 

[Paladon]

Thanks for the compliment, but i guess i wouldn't win since i always need days and weeks to figure out some matching formulas (mostly by trying around).

Besides, i am banned from contests

I also can't recommend that theme since it's very hard to enter if you aren't extremely experienced in such things.

Edit: 'Thought over it, some easier possibilities for "physics" came into my mind, even newer users may come up with something.

That was what I thought.

Yes I know

in real life, souls are used like a another side of a human that lives after the death, usally souls can also be something that have with darkness, evil powers but as you say you have a point.

old fashioned, just the idea souls, I've seen alot of that but many prob havent.

lawl maybe so but when you are done, no one can beat it

except that you are banned

doesnt have to be hard if you do it right

 

[Element of Water]

No, souls aren't anything to do with evil or much to do with death. The only thing is your soul is meant to live on after you die. Living people still have souls. And they certainly have nothing to do with darkness or evil. And to me it seems it's an idea that hasn't been explored much at all in wc3.

 

[Deuterium]

Nope it hasn't been explored and that's why I wanted it to be as the contest theme... would have been cool.

So are we gonna get this started? only 2 more weeks till summer is over!

 

[Element of Water]

My summer's been over for 1¹/₂ weeks already...

 

[The Reborn Devil]

My summer was over 3 weeks ago...

 

[Deuterium]

Hahaha my summer was long... 4 months =)

 

[Element of Water]

A whole third of the year... wtf?

Anyway, since the Zephyr contest seems to be coming soon... I don't know if we should do this yet?

 

[MistAssass]

what is a Zephyr contest ?

Sry for the off topic

 

[The Reborn Devil]

I think the Zephyr contests is a little like this one, but the users vote for who they think should win. I'm not sure, because I've never participated in a Zephyr contest.

 

[-Berz-]

It's a big contest, many people join.

It's like mini contest, follow the theme, originality, leaks,...
You are allowed to use custom models/icons...
Voting is done by users and by moderator.

A bit more extended than mini contest ^^

 

[Deuterium]

off-topic:

A whole third of the year... wtf?

Yes =) but it's the last nice summer I'll have... in the years to come, each summer would be less than a month long.

 

[Element of Water]

Just leaving school?

 

[Eccho]

I think the Zephyr contests is a little like this one, but the users vote for who they think should win. I'm not sure, because I've never participated in a Zephyr contest.

Yeah but last time it kind of failed. I won on walkover having the most public votes, because of, both HindyHat and EarthFury didnt have time to judge...
The problem now would be that both Squiggy and Gilles are inactive (and Gilles left), so, we need someone to approve it. I know there are more moderators in the arena section, so I am hoping on them. Also keep in mind that GUI users will not receive any advantages in the Zephyr contests! .__.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Hmm. This contest needs to be started soon. Can I enter now that I've become a mod? There shouldn't be a problem with that, should there? If I can't then I guess I can help with the reviewing and stuff.

 

[-Berz-]

You should host one

 

[Shdow89]

I'm so sorry, for my next question, but I can't seem to find the rules of this contest. Can anyone apply for it, and what about scripting? Only vJASS, or?
So, sorry If I asked a noob question.

 

[Hanky]

Nope everything is allowed (GUI,JASS,vJASS).

 

[-Berz-]

Hanky, you forgot to mention object editor Hehe

 

[Hanky]

Well but no melee standart spells with just modificated values and effects.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

ok and when does it start finally and what exactly is the theme now i'm waiting several months till yet (or does it just feel so long)

 

[Hanky]

I'll just have some time after I moved finally to berlin. I guess that will be in some weeks/months. So right now somebody else have to moderate this contest. You should maybe ask TriggerHappy.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

you move to berlin?
im from germany =D u have to visit the club felix it's very cool

(i'm not from berlin i'm from munich where the octoberfest did take place the last 2 weeks =D i love BEER)

 

[Yixx]

Maybe TriggerHappy187 can host it, or the_Reborn_Devil? They are new Spell Mods.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Well, I can't host it alone as I got a lot to do, but I can help if another moderator hosts the contest.
And how much rep does the winner get? I can't remember.

 

[Eccho]

+10 rep

 

[-Berz-]

Damn, I forgot how to make spells :/

It's been to long since the last contest

Hehe

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Eccho, ok.
-BerZeKeR-, lal.

 

[Yixx]

So we gonna host it? And then, will ZINC resources be approvable? (ZINC is now part of JassHelper,, read it in the manual of JassHelper)

 

[Hanky]

I guess even cJASS is allowed... just mention it somewhere when you post your spell...

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Hehe, what's next? A totally new scripting language that doesn't look like JASS at all?
Can't they just work on vJASS instead of making all these other things...

 

[-Berz-]

There is h4x0rGUI, but it requires 1.337 patch, so you have to be really leet to use it xP
