First off, Deaod, watch your language
Thanks, but ill keep to what the moderators tell me about my language.
This is a community, we all settle down with rules and we all join in realising rules, but, as you can see it's only you who complains that much.
Yes. I am "a nutcase on a holy war". I complain because i brought the same topic up in the last Zephyr contest. This topic even has its own sticky dedicated to it in the Contest Submission Forum. Obviously noone cares for what was said back then. Well, except me.
but apparently, this is not a Jass-only contest, this involves GUI too, which you know that it is really weak by default
What does that have to do with anything? Are you implying that GUI users would have disadvantages because GUI isnt as
portable as JASS is?
The balance between GUI and Jass codes would afterwards be none at all and then people who used GUI will be fairly crying for Jass being biased (which already is, by the nature of this language, versus GUI).
WTF? You use GUI and then complain because you didnt put in the effort to learn JASS? What kind of logic is that?
Some certain rules should be held for coding too, because if theme/synergy is the 50% of this contest, coding is an additional 50%.
Hero Contest #1 did fine with 100% being Design. Just saying... . I do agree with Coding playing a role, though i dont agree with it playing the major role.
Previous contests define the history and the future of additional contests, you can't ignore them.
No. Previous contests are entirely irrelevant. The nature of this change is not something huge and defining. Like changing the focus of a contest.
So, to sum up, if you consider the rules too anorthodox for you or cannot compromise with the others' input, there is also the solution of not-joining, so that both sides will stay away from quarrels.
Maybe ill join and maybe i wont.
Deaod just do whatever you want and if the judges think it is right, good for you.
I will.
1 individual can't make a difference for the whole community, and it shouldn't be like that.
Im well aware of that. Its the reason im still talking.
I still think it shouldn't be changed, XE does almost all for you and besides you should work hard on your hero, so what if you reinvent the wheel in the process, practice makes perfect.
1.) XE doesnt do "all the work" for you.
2.) Practice is tiresome. And the "practice" youre talking about is boring, uncreative and stupid (meaning the kind of thing youd be doing is stupid).
Also does that mean previous contest were bad?
Read again. Did i say that? I dont think so. Frankly, i dont know if previous contests were bad or not because i didnt participate. But its moot because previous contests are irrelevant to this one.
i seriously don't see why you think those contest can serve as an excuse
Seems like i said something i didnt really want to say. Sorry, what i meant with that was: "Previous contests are no excuse for not changing the rules of this contest."
You are just making this hard for the host of the contest and postponing the moment when this contest will get aproved.
Damn, you saw right through my evil intentions, robbing all of you of your fun in this contest and delaying the contest for as long as possible.
