Contest - Bossfight

[Pyritie]

moved

 

[The World Is Flat]

Moved? Where?

 

[Mage_Goo]

Moved? Where?

it's 'lifted' or I should say 'approved' and moved to challenge section.

so, this is 'officially' started now.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Its an offfical contest?

 

[Mage_Goo]

well, idk why, but it's approved as official challenge

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well it doesent matter, it has begun, have fun all.

 

[Pyritie]

Yeah, I thought it would be better as a challenge than a contest


By the way since it's a challenge I can help arrange rep awards. But how challenges go is that everyone who enters "bids" some rep, and if they lose or drop out, they lose that rep. The winner gains all of the rep that everyone lost.


Keep in mind people tend to get rep from other users for their entries anyway, so you aren't losing much if you don't win ;D

 

[real138]

hmm ok how bout 4 for each group?

 

[The World Is Flat]

That makes sense, to compete, you must bid 4 rep from each group.

 

[Kingz]

5 reputation per user sounds decent enough, they will get more just for entering, people who vote in the pool will surely give rep for their favorites so no point in making it such low.

Look at it like this, 5 reputation is nothing, you can get twice if you just go to some forum and help some 5 random people, or comment on 5 maps, etc...

But the prize will get upped if it is 5x rep points per 1 person and would make the challenge more exciting.

My opinion only.

Needs to be per-user, not per-group

 

[real138]

ok then 5 per user sounds good.

 

[Malcous]

Looking for teammate !

 

[The World Is Flat]

5 Per user it is then.

 

[Vosty]

Nice this is official.
Well, the deadline is Jan 22, so I should get to work.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yes that would be a great idea.

 

[PurplePoot]

Would a human/other creature which later turns into a demon count?

What defines a demon? Does it have to do with fire?

Could many of the stages ("phases") be fights against the demon's minions, who are not necessarily demons themselves?

Some demons are portrayed as good. Does "or other hellish creature" imply that this must be the evil variant?

By "or other hellish creature", does this imply specifically the Christian hell?

The theme is quite ambiguous.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yes

Demon

Yes

 

[PurplePoot]

Updated with more questions. Also, yeah, I was hoping it meant the wikipedia definition, as that leaves room for more than just boring fire spam which everyone seems to associate with demons nowadays.

 

[The World Is Flat]

No.

By "or other hellish creature", does this imply specifically the Christian hell?

no.

 

[PurplePoot]

Alright, thanks for your answers.

 

[Kingz]

Well as i see it you could make a evil person battle against a good demon or vice versa, the theme is demon, you decide whether it is good or a bad one(at least i think so).

Consult the challenge host.

 

[PurplePoot]

Already did (see above), hence why I asked the questions in this thread. I asked because many people think that Christian demons are the only kind, largely due to how much of modern fantasy is based off of Christian demonology.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Demons can include many things: e.g. Some people have a demon of fear. whenever they come across somthing that they don't understand they become afriaid and scared and they don't know what to do and shut down, become rude and abrasive, and/or try to leave the situation. i don't know how one could make a bossfight about this, but, it would get good marks for theme, hopfully.

 

[water_Knight]

me and Newbie mapper will enter

we might not finish tho

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well just to let you know, you are going up against some pretty good mappers.

 

[real138]

yup good contest. i hope its really close. but gl hope to have some more competition.

 

[zolga]

im entering
but i may not finish
anyone wants to be my partner

 

[Sephalo]

I was actually going to be a judge. But spoke to TWIF and I'm going to join the contest instead. RaiN and I are going to team up to make an epic bossfight. We usually work together for our ORPG the Oakwood Forest and because of that think we can make a pretty good bossfight for this contest.

Still 3 judges left so I think it's not a problem.

Good luck everyone!

 

[real138]

oo more competition i like gl

 

[Kingz]

Remove Teuncreemers from the judge list.

Everyone GL & HF, i am looking forward to review some nice submissions.

Hope you don't neglect the coding aspect

 

[real138]

do spells still need to be MUI? or are you just looking at if there are leaks and such. lol

 

[Vosty]

This ain't a spell contest. I would assume coding has to do with leaks/efficency stuff.
So GUI will score you low on that part, but you can easily make that up, since it isn't a huge part.

 

[real138]

ok i would hope they wouldnt have to be MUI as that is pointless.

 

[Sephalo]

ok i would hope they wouldnt have to be MUI as that is pointless.

Why not make something perfect if it's so easy to do. Just add variables and voila. I can't remember I've ever made a spell that wasn't MUI. It requires nearly no extra effort and makes the spell so much more useable.

 

[Kingz]

There are hashtables now, making MUI spells isn't necesary but will yield more points than MPI spells(if that kind of spells stil exists).

However making not MPI spell will yield in really low score.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well, you will be graded on whatever the judges decide. and yes gl hf.

 

[N.O]

So it has started finally?

 

[The World Is Flat]

All judges will judge all entries each with their own vote on each indevidual submission. if you do not like it, well i cant help you with that ;p

 

[Kingz]

@N.O

Showing such attitude won't get you far here....

If you want to join, join, don't make a drama out of it.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Kingz is right. your predjeduce is your problem not ours.

EDIT

I may have to ban Newbie mapper from the competition for being a rickroller and offensive, let me think on it.

 

[real138]

ha ok ill use hashtables. ty

 

[The World Is Flat]

Just to note this is a bump, and to notify Newbie mapper that he has been banned from this competition.

 

[N.O]

Fine .
Btw there was no attitude at all and I am going far .
I was not making a drama either, its just usually jass judges purposely lower my score because i use GUI...

 

[real138]

its true but watever.

 

[Kingz]

@N.O

You know that topic of GUI/JASS is touchy, i won't be provoked by you...

So if you got anything expect complaints and empty talk which you would like to ask, ask.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ok Drop the subject al of you please, and kingz judge the gui and jass respectivly, judge GUI well if it is well done GUI and Jass if it is well done Jass.

 

[real138]

ty you ok soo do we need to submit any WIP?

 

[Kingz]

A WIP would be nice, just to make sure it is your work.

If you don't submit a WIP i as a judge will ask you some questions about the submision you post to verify originality.

 

[real138]

ok will be posting later.
