First! Ideas for Extra challenge appreciated.

OMG!! Contest again...xD

kidnguyen1412 · 04-14-2012, 02:30 PM

At least it's better than waiting for the result of the old contest and doing nothing. Sadly, I'm too busy to join it now.

The reason i have the 3 last rules for the judges

Inreet · 04-14-2012, 02:49 PM

Lol. So as I see you decided to host it again. Also it's better to have 3 judges (1 of them can be you yourself)

Also Extra challenge looks really dull.

Edit: This ICC is too similar to ICC9 (I mean consumable, scouting, etc). I expected smth more unique and interesting. Probably I won't join nor as a contestant neither as a judge.

O_xD · 04-14-2012, 03:00 PM

I want to keep the main challenge simple and the bonus and extra hard to fulfill. Also i usually don't limit stuff with time. The ICC9 was to make a consumable, and this bonus requires you to use a consumable. Rly, two different things. I might judge it, but 2 judges are enough IMO.

For challenge i also had: New raw item, and Item with 2 ogre axes.

Inreet · 04-14-2012, 04:12 PM

Despite of being different they feel similar to me. No inspiration at all.

okrane · 04-14-2012, 05:23 PM

are the suggestions of these contests used for brainstorming in the real game or are these threads just for fun?

juleocesar · 04-14-2012, 05:28 PM

O_xD, so you can host a new one even without the old isn't finished yet?

Anyway I will try to think an idea for this contest =)
And I hope that this one finishes well...

you can host when the last contest is in judging.

kidnguyen1412 · 04-15-2012, 11:49 AM

Can i join now? Because it will be a busy week for me after this day.

O_xD · 04-15-2012, 12:40 PM

Just post your item here and send me a pm with it, confirming thatyou will join. You must fulfull the main challenge and write a short explanation. I don't get how you can possibly be busy after easter, but, who cares?
You will have 5 days after we have all contestants and judges to edit up your item and make it as balanced as possible.

kidnguyen1412 · 04-15-2012, 01:33 PM

O_xD · 04-15-2012, 02:12 PM

nope, we just got the 4 days, the friday before easter, and 1 day after. Thing is, most people get their work done before that.

Inreet · 04-15-2012, 02:28 PM

O_xD · 04-15-2012, 03:41 PM

^Don't you worry, you aren't limited with time.

Darth_Vader · 04-16-2012, 09:20 PM

As for the extra challenge, does bottle and animal/flying courier count as consumables?
