After the stream, I did a quick one without thinking too much, just putting the cards in 2 minutes and... that's what I got

They mind-controlled one of the Stonies from the other side?

Root Network is one of the most powerful tools if setup correctly, but you have to have the right situation for it to shine: in expert maps basically everywhere you have to defend (Defending Hope, Insane God, ...). Here and there, you can also get some offensive Spikeroot action going in the T2 phase. In rPVE its just too slow to setup, you should look for other options there.

Interesting - for me , it works fine

when all the other bugs appeared? 😄

I have just sent out all winners prizes. That concludes all business concerning the Crappy Community Contest #8.

I just sent out all newcomer cards, random prizes and the last-place-price(s). Since the point system that was used can be easily messed up by participants or me, I'll be waiting a day to sent out the prizes for the winners in case something went wrong.

If you send it to me, I will forward it 😉

Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; it's time to announce the winners! First of all, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest #8 happen – no matter in what way: developing the idea, making and helping with the map, participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. Special thanks goes out to Sucks for coming up with the wall-less idea and his help with finalizing the concept. In total, we reached a total number of 29 participants – thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code: CCC8-NOWA-LLNE-EDED Here are the Skylords who took on the hardest challenge of the CCC #8: 1st place 28 Points Arabika (01:03:34) 2nd place 28 Points DemonRJ (02:08:00) 3rd place 25 Points Hauclir (00:39:47) 4rd place 25 Points Laze (00:56:48) 5th place 23 Points Dutchy (00:51:27) 6th place 22 Points Aegis (00:33:39) 7th place 21 Points Ultralord (00:21:23) 8th place 21 Points Donaar (00:22:04) 9th place 20 Points Krodha (00:21:28) 10th place 20 Points Lord_of_Bread (00:21:52) 11th to 15th place: Hrdina_Imperia (20), Lans (18), Hi8Im8Pan (18), Midra (17), Drakk (16) The last place goes out to the sole Skylord who did everything he could to achieve zero points.

Some statistics If you want to see how "(un)popular" objectives were, and time and point graphs, check the spoiler: Replays Here are the Replays of the Top 4 Runs: CCC8_28_arabika.pmv CCC8_28_DemonRJ.pmv CCC8_25_hauclir.pmv CCC8_25_Laze.pmv In conclusion First and foremost, I'd like to thank again all those who helped with this event, Of course, I'd like to thank the generous sponsors for all the prizes they gave: @womiy org, @TheBigWet, @Donaar, @T1421, @DeLirium, @Sylar, @Bozzah and the Skylords Reborn Team. I hope some of you enjoyed the combination of making a contest-idea-contest (CCC#7) and taking one of those ideas that come from the community to become CCC#8. There are still more ideas to steal from the wonderful entries, so we might see a reference to CCC#7 in the future. If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe I host your idea, or you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me anytime. If you want to discuss or host a non-crappy contest, contact our Event Managers @Minashigo Hiko and/or @Metagross31. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your event!

This one is, to be honest, more of a joke. On many of the previous contests, you had to collect all gold chests - and on several times people stated the hate the gold chest objective. That's why you get a point for not doing it this time 😃

just survive 0 damage would be impossible right from the start

Done 😃 Thanks for the suggestion.

Show that what you are made of.... collect the chest and still win 😉

All aboard the Nerf-Train! 😢 😄

I had so much fun in the trail phase - the challenges were really awesome. Looking forward to the 1st challenge 🙂

Thank you so much for the cool contest! 😃

There was a complete reset when the beta ended, most likely your old Character was in the beta?

That was a really fun map with surprises 😃

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #8 – the eighth Crappy Community Contest! THE CONTEST HAS ENDED. To see the winners, CLICK HERE. If you are just here to grab the booster code, there you go: CCC8-NOWA-LLNE-EDED What are “Crappy Community Contests”? CCC's are meant to be small-scale contests with weird challenges, hopefully luring you away from well-trodden paths. They are small-scale on the organizers side too: there will be no stream, video or event announcing the winners. What's special about these contests is a participation price for the whole Skylords community. This is the first CCC not only presented by me, but the Winner of CCC # 7 - the contest-idea-contest: Sucks! (@womiy org) We have worked together the last few weeks to present you this challenge, an extension to what he submitted: What, when, where, how? He makes it sound easy... The city is the last hope for the people of Lyr, but Rogan Kayle still wants you to prove your prowess. This challenge is to win the 1-player-map “Defending Hope” on Expert without walls and as many extra-challenges as you are able to manage. Even when exploring the expert maps for the first time, Defending Hope is usually a map that is an easy win. So let's start making it as difficult as you can handle! For an eligible entry, you are not allowed to build any walls and both Soulstones have to stay intact. After that, you can earn points to rank up your entry by taking on extra challenges. The Skylord with the most points will win this challenge - in case of a tie, the faster Skylord will win. You can earn points by adding the following hardships to your run: Mandatory: Use no walls Mandatory: Both Soulstones stay intact A: 1 Point: No Faction Cards (Bandit, Twilight, Stonekin, Lost Souls) Cards are played B: 1 Point: Using a Pure Color Deck C : 1 Point: Only Twilight Edition Cards are used D : 2 Points: Play no Buildings E: 2 Points: Play no Spells F: 3 Points: Play no Units G: 2 Points: Play only Buildings H: 1 Point: Play only Units I: 1 Point: Don't go T4 J: 2 Points: Don't go T3 K: 3 Points: Don't go T2 L: 1 Point: No wells inside the city get destroyed M: 1 Point: No orb gets destroyed N: 1 Point: Both Soulstone Guardians Survive O: 1 Point: Claim 4 (or more) wells outside the city P: 1 Point: Claim southern 2 wells Q: 1 Point: Claim no well inside the city R: 2 Points: Claim all wells outside the city and don't lose any well during whole game S: 1 Point: Collect no gold chest T: 1 Point: Destroy two Twilight Manifestations U: 1 Point: Destroy all Twilight Manifestations V: 2 Points: Kill no Twilight Dragon W: 1 Point: No Shrine of War / Memory / Martys / Greed or Furnace of Flesh is played X: 1 Point: No Unity / Frenetic Assault / Thunderstorm / Frost Shard is played Y: 1 Point: No Razorleaf / Necroblaster / Magma Hurler / Stronghold (Edit: After it has been suggested, I added letters to make it easier to submit an entry.) As you can see, the list is constructed in a way that we expect NOBODY to get all possible points. This challenge is to set an attainable goal with as many points as you are able to get without losing the map. To avoid misunderstandings: points on this list accumulate. So, if you kill all Twilight Manifestations, you get one point for the "kill two Manifastations" AND one point for "kill all Manifestations", yielding a total of two points. Also, if you don't go T2, you will get a total of six points for that, not just the three points mentioned in the list on that line. Please add the following information to your entry: IGN: <Your ingame name> Objectives Achieved: <Name them: A, B, C, ...> Points total: <Points> Your replay with the following file name: CCC8_<Points>_<Your IGN>.pmv Battleforge automatically saves a replay file of the last match you play, named autosave.pmv. After playing the map, rename this file, so it doesn't get overwritten. You can find your replays here: Documents => Battleforge => replays. The contest has started with the release of this post – submit your entry through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116) or the Skylords Forum (DM to @Kapo) until 11.09.2022 23:59 CET (= 8 days time total). You can submit multiple times, but only the one with the most points will count. Please note that your any submitted replay may be posted here in the forums. Clarifications What's the price pool? Since this is not just a Crappy Contest, but a Crappy Community Contest, you may help with your participation to earn a price for the whole Community. If we reach more than 20 participants (unique players, not entries), we will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the entire Skylords Community. If more than 35 participants enter, the code will be upgraded to a Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to try this challenge – it's an occasion to try something completely new, and it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. Of course, the Skylords with the most points will get prices too, sponsored by myself, the Community and the Skylords Reborn Team: 1st place 5 General Boosters + Promo Rogan Kayle + Easter Egg 2nd place 4 General Boosters + Promo Lyrish Knight + Easter Egg 3rd place 3 General Boosters + Promo Snapjaws + Easter Egg 4th place 2 General Boosters + Lord Cyrian + Easter Egg 5th place 1 General Booster + Core Dredge (B) + Easter Egg 6th place 250 BFP + Promise of Life (B) + Bloodhorn (R) + Easter Egg 7th place 200 BFP + Banzai (P) + Banzai (G) + Easter Egg 8th place 175 BFP + Bloodhorn (R) + Mind Control + Easter Egg 9th place 150 BFP + Home Soil + Giant Slayer + Easter Egg 10th place 100 BFP + Sunderer + Easter Egg 11th-15th place Santa Claus Last place Juice Tank (x8) For participation, there is a random chance to win one of the following cards: Random Draws 5x1 General Booster, Avatar of Frost, Spitfire, Church of Negation, Bandit Minefield, Fire Worm, Skyelf Templar, Banzai Lord (P) (x5) This CCC also features again a Newcomer Card Pool. By participating, players of Bronze or Silver Rank will automatically receive an uncommon random card sponsored by @THE_BIG_WET. Of course, you may also win other random draws additionally if you are lucky. The Newbie Card Pool contains the following cards: Should we get more entries than 20 Bronze/Silver, the pool will be expanded, so every newcomer will receive a card. Those expansion cards will be rare cards (instead of more uncommons), so tell your fellow beginner to participate! Sponsors If one or more mighty Skylord(s) decides to sponsor this event, please contact me. I would be more than happy to beef up or expand the prize pool beyond the 10th place, add additional random draws, special bounties or any other upgrades to the prize pool. The following prices have been sponsored so far: Skylords Team General Boosters (x20), Community Booster Code @Kapo Promo Rogan Kayle, Promo Lyrish Knight @womiy org Promo Snapjaws @THE_BIG_WET Newcomer Card Pool (see above) @Donaar Juice Tank (x8) @T1421 Spitfire @DeLirium 1400 BFP (which has been in part used to buy random draw cards) @Sylar Avatar of Frost, Church of Negation, Core Dredge (B), Promise of Life (B), Lord Cyrian, Bandit Minefield, Sunderer, Giant Slayer, Mind Control, Bloodhorn (R), Bloodhorn, (P), Banzai Lord (G), Banzai Lord, (P), Fire Worm, Home Soil, Skyelf Templar @Bozzah Easter Egg (x10), Banzai Lord (P) (x5), Santa Claus (x5) Special thanks and Conclusion My very special thanks (and congratulations on winning CCC#7!) goes out to Sucks, who came up with this idea and worked with me designing on this challenge. One last disclaimer: Should there be a patch rolling into the contest, it may end early. Good luck, I hope you will like this very modular challenge where you can set your own difficulty!

fun times with logic and philosophy of language? as you please: what you wrote is not true, since I open the upgrade tab and said it is empty. I didn't say: "I don't have upgrades". the same logic, if we stay so technical, is that I would open the hood of a car, nothing was in what I assumed to be the engine compartment, and I would say "the engine compartment is empty". we would still agree that the car must have an engine. guess its a VW beetle. at no point I would think it has an invisible engine. I just stated what I see: nothing is there. you are making a connection between "empty" and "does not exist" or "being invisible", which is not what I said.

if we are going to be so precise about it, "the upgrade tab is empty" is technically correct. the tab is open. nothing is visible, therefore it is empty.

Yes. (even though the Upgrade Tab is completely empty)
