I'm not the best speller, but I'm fairly proficient with the English Language. ; )

I'm guessing you are referring to a spell making contest, not a spelling contest. I would recommend using someone else as a judge. I can find leaks, and use a bit of GUI, but I'm not qualified to judge contests.

Will it start when Grave_Digger_ accepts now?

Yeah yeah, spelling - spellmaking. Same same but different :p

Well, i am not a moderator, but is it possible that I could judge? :p you know, I am well known as spellmaker and system creator.

Ah, good. Sure if your good you'll be the judge then :)
I'm editing the head-post. . .

Sadly for me, here are the scores (judged by RedScores);

redscores said:
redscores Rating:

100 Points can be reached.

Scale:
80 - 100% = Very good
60 - 80% = good
40 - 60% = not too good
20 - 40% = bad
0 - 20% = WORST!

[Archipelago]

Theme: 50/50 (matches the brewmaster perfectly)

Icon: 5/5 (just a perfect matching icon for this spell)

Triggering: 3/20 (HELLISH leaks, more as 6 point leaks and 3 group leaks in the Spell Start

and in Storm, Earth and Fire triggers as a whole 9 location leaks... and this spell is not

MUI, I would say 3 for a halfway complicated spell)

Coolness: 10/20 (pretty cool for a spell, but not too original... well...)

Overall: 68/100 = 68% = good.

Name: 2/5 (hm, primal strike... matches not really the spell..)

[Grave_Digger_]

Theme: 30/50 (Fire with a bug? doesn't match a cryptlord )

Icon: 1/5 (why a crypt fiend as icon for a mass parasite swarm with fire effect?)

Triggering: 10/20 (simple... 16 location leaks per cast, nothing too impressive... easy

triggering...but MUI... because of no waits)

Coolness: 10/20 (nothing too cool about it... but it has a good visual effect.)

Name: 3/5 (matches the spell good, beside the fire effects)

Overall: 54/100 = 54% = not too good.

Archipelago wins.

Edit: When you read this Gilles, give archipelago his price . . . But I wanna win some time too! :(
