Hey, I'm back!
It's funny, that I liked Eikalo Vukari, the Equilibrator, the most, and he got disqualified because of the player. :(

I suppose it's incredibly unfortunate that the user that posted said hero had to be a douche. Cest la vie.

Orreries is one hell of a moron, though. I could've guessed that was going to happen.

Painful my ass, you aren't the one that has to read and critique them all. :p

Do you tend to go from the bottom of the list, or from the top, or just do whichever looks interesting? I was just wondering...

Last contest I started from the top and worked my way down, this contest I'm starting from the bottom and working my way up.

Bahh, and it's now that I think of all the great things I could have done to make it better. Two things, really.

Well, I suppose I'll have to fall back on Phillip Pullman: "[A book's plot is finished] just after it's published, at the point when it's too late to fix all the problems."

Damn problems ...

QFT. I think he's the only DoE host that uses a banlist. He should play DotA if he endorses that.

I wonder if I should've made a contest hero... too late now. ._.

Send them to their violent graves, don't spare anyone
Dead and wounded lie all around, see the pain in their eyes
Over the field an eerie sound, as we hear the raven's cry

BTW what happened? From what I hear I missed the funny part.

I've met him before, he is pretty n00b, a total idiot lol
Enough about Orreries, this thread isnt about him
moving on
Personally I can't wait to see who wins the contest, and when Dusk starts judging again, as so far the highest hero grade has been C+ and makes me go "Uh oh, lets hope we get an A somewhere out there!"

I don't expect anyone to get an A, and if someone does I'll be blown away.
Use the following as a good scaling:
  • F: Go away.
  • D: Terribly flawed, put more thought into it.
  • C: Average submission, it's cute in some ways, but flawed in others.
  • B: [Exalted] This hero has some good shit going for it with some serious creativity in it.
  • A: [Accepted] This hero rapes face, I want it in my map. Now.
As you can tell, the higher 2 ranks are reserved for really good heroes. I expect a few B's at most from the contest, but I really don't think anyone understands hero suggestions well enough to merit an A. If Belph were still around, he might be able to do it, since he was really good at thinking up new and exciting ideas for heroes. Otherwise, no one jumps out as capable.

You never know, though! I may yet be surprised, still just under 20 to review.

That was harsh xD

No it wasn't really, I know that its not directed at anyone with any hostile intent, coming from someone else I would have suspected that

Still hope we get some really nice heroes, every cool addition to DoE is a plus
