Congratulations to the winners! + rep will be coming your way from me :).

I will also be +repping those spells that i liked and thought were quite interesting.

I think its also worth noting that the judges actually did go through each spell and mark them individually within like what 9 days? So i think congradulations is in order for them as well, they deserve some +rep too. After all, they do have lives outside of these forums and marking spell competitions :p.

The corpse explosion and the skull coming out from it looked very creepy and excellent, but the blue nova didn't fit with them that well, in my opinion.

It looks much better with custom models, haha, the blue thing was the only normal warcraft 3 model i could find that looked semi-decent (looks soul(ish) but still wasn't like a holy spell). I can see where your coming from.

The spell itself felt quite „forbidden“, but it did too much at the same time, really...Took me aeons to read the tool tip. However, aside from that, a very fun spell to play around with it. Kept me busy for like 10 minutes.

Now that i can understand, i have a thing against spells that just do one thing, lol. And that normally leads to all of my spells being over the top haha. I thought I'd give a descriptive tooltip, so when you tried the spell you weren't like WTF does this do? Which is why its so huge.

Also what does this mean:

Spammed:
Not in a lifetime.

Does it mean that he didn't try to spam it cause it would have lagged, or that i didn't spam the effects used in the spell meaning i didn't go overboard. I'm inclined to think the latter.

I had a nice warm-up for my brain.
Right, it's an honor to be 7th.

At last, one of the contests I've joined is scored.
Good job and thank you for all the judges. :thup:

And for the participants. I'm giving you all the green buttons one by one, don't worry for those who don't get it today. (They said it: wait for 24 hours)

It takes more than creativity and courage to set up on a contest.
That's how you should worth yourself, I believe. ;)

With that I mean a simple "no, it is not spammed"

PS: mr-death, love your spell, it would fit so perfectly into an AoS

wow GooS destroyed me - take out his grades and I am in third place... - funny how he graded me like 4th worst in the contest...

and I am very disapointed that the one catagory I have that could have made up for lacking in the others was ommited from one of the judges - which I was not aware was going to be the case

congrats to winners - awaiting next spell contest, and another unique theme

Don't feel bad, hulk!

GooS was specialised in grading appearance and intanglibles, because he's the man when it comes to art.

That's why he didn't grade the code category.

But that was same for all.

Congratulations to Larcenist, ~Gals~, and Kenny! :thup:

The spell wasn't nothing fancy, so I'm a little disappointed here. It's just simple nova, in essence.
Andrew, I'm truly sorry for disappointing you, it'll never happen again :p

Gratz, though I'm quite surprised why Romek gave me 12 points and Mr.Panda twice more (question inclines to Romek). :p

I read the comments.

The summoned units play no birth animation nor have they been given a birth effect

Actually they do play birth animation. They pop up the ground pretty fast, so it might be hard to notice, but you can see that little dust there at least. I didnt add any special effects, because IMO birth animation looks fine without them.

The spell made me laugh, I could torture those little peasants for days! The idea is really loveable and fun. Plus points!

:)

Turns out not thinking too much about your submission really pays out in the end eh? I just wrote it for the sake of joining really...

Congratulations to ~GaLs~ and Kenny!, as well as all the other contestants. And credits to the judges for their hard work and effort.

As for Lord Panda, the colon syntax is some habit of mine, but all those ":D" parts sure does make the code a little more fun to read eh? :D

Shared 6th worst place if you wanna look at the glas half-empty (counting DSQ)

My comment:
All effects are created instantly, I would have liked it more if the once closest to the hero were created first and it gets more and more power. It’s is alto of effects and people fond of high amount of eyecandy will surely like it, but I didn’t

Might have gone overhand at that last point but that was what I felt at that time. I don't like ultra spam. Added I was on my laptop to check for lag and that flame burned away all my FPS(es).

Also I didn't find a big flame very uniqe so you didn't score any big points there from me either.

But also as said, people loving great eyecandy will surely get an orgasm when they release balefire ;)

14th place huh? Well, not bad for my first entry in a contest I suppose! I'm just happy it's kinda sorta in the middle (GooS sure plays hard on the visuals huh?)
