Sign up now!

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

It's here again! This is the fourth 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 Historical Scenario Design Contest and add a post to this thread. Arrange them from first to fifth place. Then 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: A secret indie game. (Worth 8�)

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.
� Playing another entry than your own before the results are shown, is not allowed. (I can't stress this enough)

How to win:

Example:

Bumblebee17 has bet placed his bet and after the scores of the Historical Scenario Design Contest 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. Sodomike
2. Hobbe
3. YokohamaWildcard
4. Callaman
5. Lord Fishhead

This gives him 2 points and his trump is firstly YokohamaWildcard and then Callaman followed by Lord Fishhead.

Pomododragon has also managed to pick out two right places.

This is his bet:
1. Callaman
2. Q the Xpert
3. Eros on Venus
4. Lord Fishhead
5. YokohamaWildcard

This gives Pomododragon 2 points and Callaman as trump before Q the Xpert and then YokohamaWildcard

King Druum also have two rights but has a higher trump than the two others.

This is his bet:
1. Sodomike
2. Q the Xpert
3. Hobbe
4. Lord Fishhead
5. YokohamaWildcard

This give King Druum 2 points and Q the Xpert as trump followed by Hobbe and YokohamaWildcard.

The actual scores are like this:
1. Sodomike
2. Hobbe
3. Eros on Venus
4. Lord Fishhead
5. Jonathan the Limp and Lisp

King Druum wins because he has the best/highest scoring trump!

It's quite simple. Just post five names from 1 to 5.
They all need to be in the right place.
The person who has most rights win.

Hello! I have released a lot more scenarios than the ones you can find on steam - but those are all in German. I originally "belong" to the German Community page agearena.de, hosted by legendary map designer Andreas Marscheider (aMa), where I released quite a lot scenarios. I do map designing since 2003, for the most part history-based scenarios.

I just registered here as a user for the upcoming contest, but hope to stick around.

Al_Kharn the Great: "I think Bassi is the favorite based on his body of work unless someone like Mash enters."

Thank you - but if this mysterious dude known as Filthydelphia enters as well, we'll have another favorite for sure.

No wonder, so what's your name over at agearena then? It's all in german so I have a hard time finding anything.

On Agearena he is "Henning...
You can scroll down the hall of fame here

.... or better known as "best mapper of the world"
He has much games with score over 40 points out of 50. (On Agearena never a map got 50 points, even not Ulio or other famous stuff)

So I think he will make first or second place

"No wonder, so what's your name over at agearena then? It's all in german so I have a hard time finding anything."

Pls check the link, that Jernside posted. Of course my early works are nowadays kinda uninteresting and very generic.
If you want to check out my scenarios, I recommend to download my single scenario campaigns "Der Bruderkrieg" and "Ordensbr�der", which I would say are my best Vanilla Creations. (and of course have a look on my steam stuff)

Jernside: "So I think he will make first or second place"

Why don't you take part as well, Bj�rn??

Being one of the contestants, I don't like to bet, so I only want to name the competitor, who in my opinion has the best chances to win. And that's Al_Kharn the Great.

A) A patch for AoK HD, which finally solves the pathfinding problems
B) Another DLC for AoK HD
C) the fan expansion for AoE I
