About the Contests

[Eccho]

Its already on the list hawk.

When is the next one Poot^^?

 

[Kwah]

Mmmm, I'll actually make something for the next one.

 

[Herman]

[Conditional FX] - Multiple effects if conditions arise during cast

For example, a unit who is affected's HP drops 100, for every other unit with HP greater than 100 the spell runs some sub-spell effect, or completely copies itself

This probably sounds like it could get far too broad, but I think its validated by the fact that you'd need to be rather creative and think up a unique condition, not just some simple easy one like unit HP's

Perhaps if this theme were chosen, the theme points could be easily derive by the creativity of each effects and the conditions that cause them

 

[Just_Spectating]

First page.


"Link (Silvenon)"

 

[PurplePoot]

That was Zephyr #4.

 

[Just_Spectating]

[Magnet] - Spell will "magnetize" units to a certain point.
[Reverse Magnet] - Spell will push units away from a certain point.

 

[Zack1996]

[Two Part Spell]-Make a spell that has two parts, for example a cannon spell. First part is to load a unit and the second part is to fire the unit. Another example can be say, for a pandaren brewmaster. First part will be drink ale, second part will be breath fire or something.
[Synergy Spells]-Make 2 spells that have synergy something similar to Breath of Fire+ Drunken Haze.

 

[PurplePoot]

I won't be hosting one for a while, in light of school, me wanting an extended break from these, and the 2008 THW Olympics.

If you want to ask someone else to host the next one, feel free.

 

[Eccho]

So sad, so true... A break would not harm me either thus school and Olympics like you.

 

[Just_Spectating]

nah, we have to wait for poot. a mini-contest not hosted by poot is just, not right :d

 

[-Berz-]

Yup, mini contest without, Purple isn't a contest

Close cast spell like a brutal smash or something(cast range from 50 to ~150)

 

[PurplePoot]

I won't be hosting any more of these since I quit, so if you guys want another you'll have to find a new judge.

Sorry, but meh, resigning is resigning.

 

[Kwah]

Hmmm.

*thinks about new judge*

 

[-Berz-]

D: thats sad, you were just awesome at this, with a few days of delay but you are just to great to just quit D:

 

[Just_Spectating]

the only mod i respected is not a mod anymore D;

 

[Herman]

I am sad ...><...

I wonder if I could become a spell & system mod?

 

[Just_Spectating]

impossible.

1. you thought about it.
2. you talked about it.

 

[-Berz-]

impossible.

1. you thought about it.
2. you talked about it.

Hehe

But i know a few people, that could become spell moderators.
Me ofc (joke) =P

 

[raft_pl]

Damn... Lets do something, the mini-contest must survive! ;<
Any mod willing to judge?

 

[Herman]

Yeah, I'm starting to miss them, and I finally got a stable way to create & post maps. [May have just jinxed it...]

 

[PurplePoot]

If you guys are still interested, I have a window of more free time coming up, and could thus talk to Rui about having another one of these go.

If so, theme?

 

[Eccho]

How about Nature?

The contestants must create a spell with the aspects of nature?
Like, Lifeflower, Lifebeam, Natural Essence... and such names.

 

[-Berz-]

Yeah,Nature sounds ok, at least we have a contest

 

[Eccho]

Yeah if Rui agree with us :]

 

[-Berz-]

I'm sure he agrees
Hes Rui agrees about anything ^^ right?...

 

[Herman]

Yeah nature sounds good, its broad enough, and still has a strong theme

 

[Zack1996]

Yeah, its good.
But how come PurplePoot can't judge? Is there a rule that only mods can judge mini-contests (I thought PurplePoot started this whole thing).

 

[PurplePoot]

Few things.

• Who said I can't judge?
• I would just need someone to sticky threads, officially approve, etc.
• DSG started it, and it was a collaborative effort for a while, but then Diablo-DK and Wyrmlord disappeared, DSG lost interest (or something?), and wyrmlord's posting became very sporadic, and no one new stepped up to take part.

 

[Eccho]

Great you can judge Why not asking Rui to sticky the posts? Or DSG ofcourse. Heh, unless you mind being the judge

 

[PurplePoot]

Hence why I need to talk to Rui about getting this set up.

 

[Eccho]

I dont know, so why just not set one up already^^?

 

[-Berz-]

Well i talked with Rui about a week ago,... he didn't have any idea what em i talking about.. D:

 

[PurplePoot]

Rui's fine with it, so when would you like to begin? This monday or the monday after?

 

[Kwah]

This monday.

 

[spiwn]

This Monday sounds fine
P.s. and yet again at a time of tests

 

[raft_pl]

Sadly i wont be able to pariticipate in this one... Dont have my comp and cuz WE right now for about a week or two

 

[PurplePoot]

So, nature on monday? Someone PM me on sunday just in case I forget, and all will be well!

 

[-Berz-]

Ow shi... I have 3 tests in school... D:
But ok.

 

[Eccho]

You're not the only one having tests. I got biology on tuesday, a 5hours examin on wednesday and a hand-in-report on thursday. But meh, we got 14 days. It should not be any problem.

And sure Poot, Ill give you a PM tomorrow^^.

 

[Herman]

Sadly my football season ended

I have more time to participate, and this monday sounds much better than next monday

 

[Kwah]

I might actually make something for this one.

 

[Zack1996]

YEAH! This monday is fine
However, got some school project and I have to go to school for 7 hours or something D:
Anyway, I wish everyone good luck for the contest!
Now I have to start planning some spell
EDIT: I was just looking through the Spells & Systems Mini-Contest thing and I found out Dr Super Good started the contest 0_0. Apparently, it was meant to be held once a week (lol) and the host of the mini-contest kept changing until I don't know when.

 

[-Berz-]

Man i have so many ideas...But none is something special... D:

Edit:
How does this sounds:
Heals a unit for (lets say) 180 HP, but if targeted unit HP is more than 60% life it will regain full HP. Also gives some bonus armor and slight HP regeneration for a short period of time.
Ofc. with sweet special effects

What do you think?

 

[Eccho]

I guess it sounds alright, but as you say, nothing special?^^
As long as it contains more triggering than ability editing Im sure it will survive. Let see if I can get a monster to stop you

 

[terradont]

I'm also having problems with creating an original spell. Somehow my mind slips back to entangling roots every time >.<

 

[-Berz-]

You aren't the only one having this problem D:

 

[Herman]

Gahhh, gotta think up a good nature spell...

Maybe one not having to do with vines or trees? Something having more to do with a god of nature? Animals perhaps? Maybe wisps...

 

[Element of Water]

I'm also having problems with creating an original spell. Somehow my mind slips back to entangling roots every time >.<

I had that problem for a while... except I was thinking of trees and treants... but now I got an idea...

 

[-Berz-]

Ok how does this sounds(its more like nature/double edge theme)

You can cast it on ally or enemy.
If casted on ally:
-heals for some HP
-awards some armor and HP regen for a while
-25% chance to fully heal allied unit that have below 33% of HP
If casted on enemy:
-damages for some HP
-awards some negative armor and negative HP regen for a while
-25% chance to kill thargeted unit that have below 33% of HP

With some green(mby a bit of purple(if casted in enemy)) effects

How does that sounds?

 

[Eccho]

-25% chance to kill thargeted unit that have below 33% of HP

Hmm... I hope you mean it wont affect heroes, because otherwise it would be pretty imbalanced even though the risk of dying is 1/4.
Its not a bad concept I guess, though I have no better ideas yet ^^
