Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Just a reminder, the 9th Contest deadline is a week from today. (August 1, 2008.) If you have a scenario you would like to enter, do so here. We have a total of 5 entries so far. Despite the low #, I don't plan to extend the deadline even if this is all we have. Considering that there are so many scenarios that could be in and aren't (and most of the designers ARE around), extending the deadline will change nothing. (By this, I mean that we go ahead with the contest no matter what.) If you'd like to judge, sign up here. I am also officially appointing Tyranicus to be the scenario host. Also, this is how the contest results are going to be determined: For the first round, you will score the from 1 to 10. The highest in the category wins. For the other scenarios to advance to Best Scenario Judging, they must be within 80% of the top score. Best Scenario Judging, well, most of you know the drill. All Best Scenario judges rank the scenarios from best to worst. If a judge has a scenario in Best Scenario, the results will be calculated carefully so that the judge's scenario is not affected. It worked for the 8th Contest, the 1/10 Contest, and the 24 Hr Contest, so it will work here. There will be no forums involved in this contest, everything will be anonymous. The judging criteria is up to the judge, except that favoring BoE over BoA or vice versa is not allowed. Have fun in the contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I hope to have ILM in the contest, even if it's a hardly-working alpha version. But, it may just be a five-way contest. Wouldn't it be sad if Witch Hunt came out on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 6-way contest at the least. I guarantee that my scenario is going to be in, I just don't have it released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was really hoping I could at least get A Living Nightmare into it, but I guess it is impossible now. Edit - I just though of something. Can I put my scenario into the contest before the beta testing is complete? And that after the contest I can release it when the beta testing stage is complete?

Well-Actually War Trall BainIhrno Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 You can, but I can't guarantee that your beta testers will finish the job if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well, I don't think the beta testers will finish the testing before then so I will test it as much as I can before the deadline to minimize the bugs and typos. So how can I submit an unreleased scenario for the contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I would assume that you would use the second submission option and send in the scenario to the email address given in the other thread. You could always mark the copy something like "Prerelease version for contest judging, please do not distribute." I recall hearing that Lazarus did something like that with his Tales scenarios because he was submitting them to the contest before he was ready to release the whole set.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Mike Lazarus did indeed do that, as did most of the 24hour contest entrants. The only person to actually release the scenario in the wake of the contest was Smoo, I think, and, I feel he ought to retroactively win for that alone.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'll submit Kill Them Dead in whatever category you see fit. I just have to say it and it'll be in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'm torn. BoR is almost ready, and I could release and enter it if I wanted to. On the one hand, it's about the technical tricks rather than story, having virtually none of the latter, and was never intended to be a contest competitor. Based on past observation I would expect it our typical judging group to take a rather dim view of it. On the other hand, I'd almost like to inflict it on you so you'd have to figure out whether a scenario with 1 town played 120 times is small or large.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 It would be nice to see BoR inflicted on the world and it is kind of small since the one town isn't that large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I would like if it would stop crashing Blades. Has that been sorted out in the year since my lat beta report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Despite my doing many hours of testing on Windows, I never observed any of the claimed problems with BoR. Thus, I'm just going to have to release the Windows version with warnings attached. I've said before: I can't fix what I can't see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I released Darkness when the contest came around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I did say "I think". I stand by Smoo still winning, because he is an altogether pleasant chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
