Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #2 – the second 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:  CCC2-SAVE-THEF-ORGE

     
What are “Crappy Community Contests”?
This and future 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 not be a stream, video or event announcing the winners. What's special about these contests is a participation price for the whole community.
     
What, when, where, how?
CCC#2 offers something very special – a completely new map made by Mynoduesp just for this contest: 
The Besieged Forge - Fastest Time wins


As the Skylords return from their efforts to restore Nyn, the Forge itself became infiltrated by Stoneskin and Bandits. 

For this challenge, win the 1-player community map
“CCC - The Besieged Forge” on Advanced difficulty
as fast as possible. 

For instructions how to access the map, see below. The contest has already started – submit your replay together with your In-Game-Name through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116) or the Skylords Forum (DM to @Kapo) until 05. FEB 2022 23:59 CET (= 7 days time total). 
You can find your replays here: Documents => Battleforge => replays (your last game will always be saved as autosave.pmv).
You can submit multiple times, but only the one with the fastest time will count. Please note that the Top 3 Replays will be posted here in the forums. To reduce my workload, you may rename your file to CCC2_<time>_<IGN>.pmv (e.g. CCC2_08.28_Kapo.pmv).

Special notice: Since this is a completely new map, if you find any major bug that breaks everything apart, and you finish in ten seconds (or something like that), we reserve the right to disqualify entries. Clever use of mechanics is still encouraged, though.

What's the prize pool?
Since this is not just a Crappy Contest, but a Crappy Community Contest, you may earn a price for the whole Community. If we reach more than 25 participants (unique players, not entries), you will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the entire Skylords Community. If more than 40 participants enter, it will be upgraded to a General Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to try this challenge – it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. 
The Skylords with the fastest times will get prices as well.
In the unlikely case of a tie, the run that was submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks.
1st place               5 General Boosters + Rogan Kayle Promo + Stronghold + Ravenheart + Mauler
2nd place              4 General Boosters + Lyrish Knight Promo + Mindweaver + Ravenheart + Mauler
3rd place              3 General Boosters + Enlightenment + Moloch + Ravenheart + Mauler
4th place              2 General Boosters + Firedancer + Shadow Worm

In conclusion
My very special thanks goes out to @Mynoduesp for proposing to make a map for the CCC and his awesome work. If you like the map as much as I do, go and tell him. 😉
I’d also like to add that the Editor and all necessary tools for creating a map are accessible to every Skylord at all times. So maybe the contest will spark some interest in the art of map making - as many of you already know, one of the most wished for and requested features for Skylords Reborn are new maps to play. The SR Team currently seeks out Map Testers, Map Artists, Map Designers and Map Developers. 
Good luck and best regards,
Kapo

Hey everyone,
The video can now be found on our youtube channel: 
 

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.
Welcome to the third official PvE event!
We hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!




What kind of event will it be?

PvE - Expert - Bad Harvest/Guns of Lyr/Dwarven Riddle
For this challenge, we want to see the skill of your team on three different battlefields.
We are looking at the fastest combined time for all three maps, meaning that if you are an expert on Bad Harvest, you better step it up for Dwarven Riddle and Guns of Lyr, since one good time only gets you so far!
Furthermore, the card Decomposer is banned for this event and you need to collect all gold chests on each map. Meaning the standard speedrun tactics might not apply.

So gather a team, polish your strategy and go for the fastest total time!


When will it start?

We will be accepting entries starting 03.11.2021 00:00 CET.
The event will run for approximately 3 weeks, to be specific: 27.11.2021 23:59 CET.
You can send your replays through DM to me on Discord (Minashigo Hiko#1126) or through a PM to me on the forum.


How can I participate?

You just have to send in your fastest replay-pack (containing 3 replays), including the player names and the total time of ALL maps. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory]
For example: If your team reached 30 minutes on Bad Harvest, 25 minutes on Guns of Lyr and 10 minutes on Dwarven Riddle you would claim the following:

"Hiko_Majora_Zyna_Pascal_Total_1:05h"

You can send in your replays until the 27.11.2021. 

Please note: 
You are allowed to send in different replay-packs, but only the fastest one will count. Meaning that if you compete with multiple replay-packs, the pack that has the best total time will also be your personal best total time. 
  You are allowed to compete with multiple teams, but all 3 map-replays of your replay pack must be from the same team composition. You can not mix-and-match Bad Harvest from Team A, and Guns of Lyr from team B in the same replay pack.

You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays


What are the rules?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The team with the fastest total time wins. Use the map Pool. Collect all gold chests on each map. No Decomposer. In Guns of Lyr, construction of buildings past the flames near the map border in the top left and bottom right corner is not allowed. Only Expert difficulty. Have fun! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?

The following prize pool will be adjusted according to the amount of participants.

Each player that completed all 3 maps with at least one team, gets a participation award.
This means you need to do a full run (all 3 maps) with a team to apply. You can't apply for more than one participation award.

The prices are per person. If you compete with multiple teams, only your highest place will be rewarded :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st place                        10 general Booster packs
2nd place                       9 general Booster packs
3rd place                        8 general Booster packs
4th-8th place                 5 general Booster packs
 
Participation award      3 general Booster pack

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                                                                                    
In conclusion

This event focuses on your speed, teamwork and flexibility on these different PvE maps.

To summarize the event in simple steps:
Look for a team. You can either do this below this topic, on Discord or Ingame. Come up with a strategy for the three maps. Complete the map as fast as possible. Collect all gold chests. Repeat steps 2-4 until you cleared all maps once. Calculate the runtime of all 3 replays, the combined times will be your total time.
Satisfied? Send the replay-pack to me! (Minashigo Hiko#1126 on Discord) or PM your best replay to me (in the forum).
When will we  stream upload?

We will announce the winners in a YouTube video next week.
You can find more Infos to why in the comments.

Hey all,
I am so sorry I didn't manage to upload the Video until now..
I had some serious problems with my PC that caused to crash it.. I ordered a new PC part that arrived yesterday instead of the planned Thursday/Friday.
Starting next week I am now finally able to finish the video, planned is Wednesday .
We will also add a little "sorry" gift.
Thank you for your understanding!
