It will be recorded, but if you watch it live, you can chat with other viewers and the streamers on Twitch.

We will start in roughly 90 minutes. Possible guest commentators include Gnuffone, Fizzer, masters of desasters and Dead, Lolowut and maybe more!

After the stream I'll export the recording to youtube and I'll give a link on the forum. It takes ~12-24 hours for the whole video to process in high quality.

We're going to do some pre-stream testing in 30 minutes and we start in 1 hour.

Sorry guys, but the whole thing was a kind of farse - I have provided whole instruction for my template and none of you had red it (instructin was also embeded into template) and then you had no idea what was the maechanic of it and how to play it.... there was even a game example if you were too lazy to read this all ... ?? not very professionall and I wasted a lot of my time .. :/


please delate my scores - I'd prefer not to be publicly ashamed only becouse of your unprofessional attitude

:P

I did not watch the stream, so can someone tell me about the following ratings? A gap from 1/0.5 to 5 is a lot in my mind.

I didn't see the one by Chris, but what I gathered from the one by Kain was the following:

Sze liked the strategic value of the map, and thinks it's not too terrible.

The others were unnerved by the sanction cards, ability to hold 0 cards, and a -5 bonus that could be randomly distributed to anyone. Sze still saw some more strategic value to it though.

It wont be assigned to players - it was random warlords distribution.

This was a farce, they didn't even look at my sample game until I kicked up a fuss in chat, and even then they never gave it proper thought, and they didn't even check the randomised version.

They didn't even actually read my post...

i find it funny that they looked at one of my games though.

was my template really that good?

20 templates by a fast count. In order to read all descriptions etc. you *must* give each template a test time of ~30 min at least.

So that would be 10 hours total. I would imagine that this is the problem.

Congratulations to the winners!

"And fuck off to all the losers!"

Honestly, we should never have even bothered.

I think that top 3-5 would have been better, because some templates, because then there isn't as much controversy.

I have yet to understand why your symmetrical template that hardly has a picking phase, could be considered strategic, by warlight definitions, Sure, it is strategic in the sense that a perfect strategy wins 100% of the time, but that is not good.

So let me get this straight. The contest was about not playing rehashed ideas from Sze/Gui, and the runner up is a Gui map with a rehash of a current popular template with Sze's idea (limited full dist)? WTF is that? The rules say a rehash will be heavily penalized. I guess creativity means nothing in this thing afterall.

Wow, I had really high hopes for this thing too. I guess I should have just submitted my Lim Full Dist on Great Lakes instead of thinking outside the box.

Not to mention mine was rated below a template called "Pure Luck". What a joke. I bet you guys did not even play mine at all. You voted a %100 luck template higher than mine...amazing work Sze

I also feel deeply embarrassed fir what has heppend here. My template was "analysed" without reading it's rules with comments like " oh look, +16 card and spy card ... strange". Next time you create such contest please inform people upront that you are too lazy to analyse (understand?) complex templates. In my opinion this could be compared to guy who tried to chop down tree with a pistol and after few minutes come to conclusion that "this is a dumbest axe he ever used".

This situation is really strange since I have provided long explanation for this template in this thread (page 4) as well as it's short version in game description. There is also attached example of the game...

Once again I ask to scrap my name from the results of this pitifull and arrogant "contest".

Edited 11/30/2015 23:43:35

It was rigged from the start, you could tell from the way they were so quickly dismissing templates "I don't get it, I wouldn't play it, it's terrible."

The only thing that annoys me is we are trying to help the community, I don't give a shit about the coins, I just wanted to introduce something new, instead of the normal boring reused crap. But it seems this lot can't get their head around simple new concepts.

I'm the only person to have entered a symmentrical no base income game and one of only 2 with army-cap and they treated it like a piece of shit, yet I'd been working on the balance of that for months, they didn't even actually try it, they "decided on a draw" after a few turns, they hadn't even met in battle yet.

Gah, I don't know why I bother, the whole thing was a farse. They should have at least tried out the templates in a game with the creators first, surely?

If all they wanted was re-hashed old templates then they should have said. From now on I'm keeping my templates to myself and my friends, screw you guys. I've deleted my template from this forum. Don't worry no need to say "Good, it was crap anyway!" cos I already know that's what you're going to say.

I could easily have generated an army-cap map on one of many boring old recycled maps instead, but to be honest, I'm glad I didn't.

Hey guys i'm sorry if some of you are disappointed now. I rewarded creativity in my ratings, but you need to agree that the winner templates are very well tought trough and enjoyable. We had to rank a lot of templates in a short time so please forgive us if we didn't realize what was behind your template

I put a lot of thought into my template thank you very much! I played around 20 test games, and changed the template around 10 times. Even the map is different. I understand the troubles and complaints completely.
