Contributor Contest

[Trovaner]

With the forum problems everyone (including myself) is having, I think we should continue to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game for a whole week(ending 25/2/13) or month(ending 18/3/13). I don't think people like Inf should be left out just because they can't log in or post.

The problem with extending the deadline is that it takes quite a bit of time to go through and validate all the submissions. The rules would also need to be changed and rebalanced accordingly. There will be other opportunities/contests for people to get the Action Cam so I don't think extending this contest is necessary.

Furthermore, I have nothing against people that do things for the community without any incentives. Rewards are nice but that shouldn't be the only reason for doing things.

I'm still looking for a long-term solution to the login error but the workaround of deleting cookies seems to work fine ATM.

Eligibility: Limited to people that post in the discussion thread before Feb 20 (this thread). You must include either a link or description of what you did for Feb 18 in your post (if you did more than one thing, you don't have to post it all at once).

If I am missing anyone, please let me know by midnight tomorrow (GTM time). This is a slight extension but considering that people can no longer change their scores, it shouldn't matter. Venko didn't post what he did but he stated what he was going to do and he followed through with it so I just threw him in.

Right now, we have:

	| Low-Level	| Mid-Level	| High-Level	| Score (before poll)
Lightning S.	| 5	| 1	| 0	| 7
MassimoV	| 5	| 5	| 0	| 15
Mr. AwesumSauce	| 5	| 3	| 0	| 11
venko	| 5	| 0	| 0	| 5

Both Lightning S. and MassimoV were off on the points so if they think I have it wrong please let me know ASAP.
Lightning S.: 5 new bots for 5 points and an image with 8 or more bots for 2 points.
MassimoV: 5 new bots for 5 points, a tutorial for 2 points, and 4 sets of 8 different bots in tournament vids for 4 points. (Edit: This has been corrected.)

Not the turnout that I was expecting but it is what it is. In hindsight, I should have given the reward to a fraction of the submissions instead of locking it in at 3 submissions. Regardless, I am happy to see that people participated.

Really all depends on who is available and when.

Maybe a good supplement to BOTM would be Contributor of the month?

[MassimoV]

Uhh, there were 32 bots between both heats in my display tournament.

Not a bad idea. However, it still takes time to look through and validate all the entries. Not to mention, I would have to create something worth having in order to keep up with the demand for prizes. I'll think about it and give people a little more notice if I decide to do it again.

Whoops, I only saw the first post that you made. I fixed the mistake and our numbers match up now.

I'm still waiting to hear from Lightning S regarding his score.

Only thing I see wrong is that there should be a 2 where the 1 is so the addition is right. Other than that it looks fine to me.

I wasn't performing just addition, I was following this formula:
Score (before poll) = ((1 x # of low-level projects released) + (2 x # of mid-level projects released) + (3 x # of high-level projects released))

The multiplier was only applied when calculating the score:
Score (before poll) = ((1 x 5) + (2 x 1) + (3 x 0)) = 7

Anyways, thanks for double checking. I didn't want to short you any points.

[Venko]

Sorry, that I didn't post earlier. I have a good excuse. Anyway, do You remember my 4 things?
1. No points for texture packs.
2. No points, it's not 100% mine, also yes, the tutorials are old and already posted.
3. Here are the giga rars with stuff : https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13123.0.html
4. Here are some NEW bots : https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13024.15.html

The poll is now up and I've edited the first post to contain all relevant information. For the most part, you can vote for anyone that you believe contributed the most.

[Trovaner]

There is one more day left for people to cast their votes.

You spelled Mr. AwesumSauce's name wrong in the poll 

[Trovaner]

I did... but I was close. It was halfway between the real spelling of awesome and his user name.

Thank you to everyone that participated. Awards will be sent out to the top three tomorrow.

[Venko]

Lol, I didn't even use any of the three votes to vote for myself.
