The AoKH Betting Thread - Classic Design Contest 2016



And remember, the house always wins...


Betting threads from the past:
Pretty Town Contest Speculating Thread 2015
The Betting Thread - DTS 2016




It's here again! This is the third edition of the betting thread, hosted by yours truly. As usual the player with most right will take home the big prize. (See the example bellow.)


How to compete:

Pick out five of the contestants in the Classic Design Competition and add a post to this thread. Arrange them from first to fifth place and wait.

Post your bet like this:
1. NAME OF CONTESTANT
2. NAME OF CONTESTANT
3. NAME OF CONTESTANT
4. NAME OF CONTESTANT
5. NAME OF CONTESTANT





Prize:
10€ Steam gift card





Rules:


• Judges of the competition may not place a bet.
• Betting on yourself is allowed.
• Changing your bet is allowed if you do it before the results are shown.
• Using smurf-accounts to place more than one bet is not allowed and will result in disqualification.
• Bribes are not needed but appreciated.
• Your newest bet is the only bet that counts, all else aren't counted.
• If bets are identical, the first player to post it wins.
• Just because all of the right players are on your list doesn't mean you win. You need to have them in the right order.
• Downloading and playing an entry before the results are shown is not allowed.




How to win:


Example:

Little Berry has bet placed his bet and after the scores of the Classic Design Competition are shown, he sees that he has gotten the two first competitors right. However the last three are not in the right order.

This is his bet:
1. Sobomtha13
2. Laganos the Rich
3. BrillianceStar
4. Batis
5. WaslerMega

This gives him 2 points and his trump is firstly BrillianceStar and then Batis followed by WaslerMega.

Kakashimoto has also managed to pick out two right places.

This is his bet:
1. Batis
2. McTuesday
3. Lord Fukuama
4. WaslerMega
5. BrillianceStar

This gives Kakashimoto 2 points and Batis as trump before McTuesday and then BrillianceStar

Den Cekke also have two rights but has a higher trump than the two others.

This is his bet:
1. Sobomtha13
2. McTuesday
3. Laganos the Rich
4. WaslerMega
5. BrillianceStar

This give Den Cekke 2 points and McTuesday as trump followed by Laganos the Rich and BrillianceStar.

The actual scores are like this:
1. Sobomtha13
2. Laganos the Rich
3. Lord Fukuama
4. WaslerMega
5. Jonathan the Lake


Den Cekke wins because he has the best/highest scoring trump!




People who have signed up for the current contest -
2016 Classic Design Contest
Players who already submitted their files are in green.


Hockeysam18:
One of the most prominent
members of our community
doesn't really have that
much of a personal record
in the blacksmith, sure
there's that never-ending
project from way back in 2012
but other than that, well
it's not much:
MGC14 - The Departure of Boromir
Galderton Hill RPG
Bram Stoker's Dracula


Mash:
The winner of our last contest is
at it again. During the DTS he
showed that, even though he's an
old warhorse he still packs a mean
kick. These are his previous battles:
Defence at Lorgan's Watch
Blood of the Bear
LotR The War of the Ring


Mithril Knight:
And I'm not gonna write a
wall of text about this guy,
mostly because he might have
to cope with a big wall in the
future. These are his works:
The Tales of AOKH Official Trailer
Middle Age Life


devagrawal09:
He joined our community back
in 2013 and has since then
been in the shadows most of
the time. Yet there are some
scenarios of his here:
La Hire
The adventure of Harald Hardraade
Battle Chess


Leif Ericson:
The man in yellow is Leif
and to be honest I have never
played anything made by him.
A quick check in the blacksmith
gave me very little to go on
as well:
Mirkwood
Island Hopping
Leif Ericson 1.31(AI)


cocacola:
I don't really know who this
is, all I can say is that I
like the other guy, Pepsi.
Tell us about yourself
cocacola.


DelCrosB:
He says he's gonna do a B&D
and I say why not? DelCrosB
is a notorious contestant in
these competitions and has
yet to disappoint me.
We'll surely see something
similar to this:
PTC15 - Platopolys
MGC14-The Elite Training Academy Challenge
The Last Temple Stands


D4Ra4Aracks111:
Our friend Aracks has after our
last competition proved to be quite
skilled in designing, he's not
the best but keeps improving.
This is what he has made so far:
The Siege of Luandre V1


GranCalabaza:
Competed in the last DTS and
placed 11th just two points
above HELLKNIGHT. He will have
to do ten times better this time.
These are his works:
Kizhi Pogost
Srbija - The History of Medieval Serbia


Darth Sarek:
Has competed in many of our
contests before, including
AVC, DTS and PTC. All of those
times he has done very good.
See for yourself:
Brasov
The Three Little Piggies
AVC - A Reunion to Remember


PresterJohn:
From what I can tell John has
never been able to submit an
entry to any competition he has
been in. Hopefully that can change
this summer.


Lord Basse:
Out of his +30 submitted works
here at AoKH none of them has
ever gotten a rating below 2.8
and that was back in 2006.
Below are a varying degree of
scenarios/campaigns:
The Relics of Athalën
Gwyndlegard
PTC11 - Sagropireia


Jatayu:
Or rather Sword_of_STORM haven't
been hanging around this forum very
much lately. A the peak of his
designing career back in 2007
he produced a lot of scenarios.
Can he find that speed again
and finish before the deadline?
Some of his works can be found here:
Atlantis - The Lost Realm
An Eskimo Tale
MGC07 - Death on the Nile


jernside:
With a very late submission jernside might
have a hard time placing anywhere near top
3. It seems his scenario is constantly
crashing due to the buggy nature of AgeHD.
These are some things he's been working on
before:
El Dorado - Rush for Gold
Way to Chinon
Operation Schleichendes Schwert


Standing Bets
(In order of dates submitted)
Bold text means one point for the right place, italic means highest trump.

Just make a list without yourself on it! It's not like it would cost you anything, or would demotivate you from winning.

Valid, but over a dozen scenarios for the AoE2HD expansions has got to count for something

And the Lepanto scenario was abandoned years ago. Old hat

In fairness, that was in 2006. He's probably slipped a little. We can't hold him to that standard forever.

Yeah and considering he is working with an editor that actually works now he might be basically unstoppable.

My money is on Sam. Because Mashek has many strengths, but trigger economy isn't one of them. And I'm not sure I'd want to play a Kretharn war remake with less than 150 triggers, and that's all he makes.

And Julius is about as hopeless as me when it comes to releasing scenarios these days. And Al Kharn hasn't entered.

And the rest of you are noobs.

I must agree. My entry is finished barring a playtesting round and the subsequent tweaks. It's been a refreshing experience to design a relatively simple B&D scenario that doesn't tend towards a more epic scale at all.
I think I saw Judge can't put bet few days ago.
I don't think that Matt was actually placing a bet, but was instead just cracking a joke

Yah obviously i can't place an official bet and win the prize myself. That's what proxies are for.

Also, I consider Sam the front runner because he is basically guaranteed to submit something.

Oh, are you planning on entering Julius? How will you find the time? I thought work was keeping you busy? You haven't touched the editor in ages? How will you manage to attain the high standard achieved in Azgara? What if Matty joins? What if I join with a snow-fest of a map? What if Lord Basse decides to flex his design muscles and achieve a rating greater than 2.8? What about Mameluke Jim? #trollingisliving

Just kidding. We all know you'll win.

Yeah I don't know, I'm thinking Julius probably spent what he had left last time around, although he'll probably be given 3rd or something just for old times sake. Me on the other hand, I'm aiming squarely for that massive 3.0.

Is it just me, or is there something innately funny about seeing hastags used on a forum from the last millenium?

Then we could very well be looking at a SWS hat trick for the top three places

That said, if MamelukeJim decides to rear his ferocious head and enter the contest, then all bets are off. It is said that his designing skills are legend.

I believe that the forum code was actually updated MUCH more recently than that: ...2002.

I do seem to remember the BB code toolbar being added sometime after I joined though.

Ha ha I remember that; we noobies all started somewhere. It's amazing how many big names commented on that thread (ingo, crasher, Paul etc), seems the explosive title worked very well after all!

Speaking of that particular file described in the thread, I remember completing the first part to it, although I don't recall as to why I never released it. I think there were a number of balancing issues after Tanneur playtested it, and I guess I felt disheartened and put it aside. I still have it sitting there though so maybe if I can be bothered I'll submit it sometime. It will be 2006 quality, however.

Oh yes, she was right on the ball a lot of the time. It irks me why she didn't just use her mod powers to change the topic thread title.

Oh, here we are treating the forums like a chat room again! *looks over shoulder*
