Damo

Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; The contest is over, and it's time to announce the winners!

But first, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest happen - no matter in what way: participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. I received so much support and even more nice words - maybe a small apology for the amount of crappy advertisements is also in order 😉
In total, we reached a total number of 130 participants, more than double of our goal. Thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES
 
Here are the fastest Skylords of the CCC #1:
1st place          01:27.4       arabika
2nd place         01:28.0       Damo
3rd place          01:29.5       Hirooo
4th place          01:30.4       RadicalX
5th place          01:32.5       Treim

16th place        01:48.5       SylarXXI
Upper 50% share: The split share of the 3000 bfp is only 46 BFP each - the high number of participants takes its toll here.

Draw 2      Endimion                  Amii Monument
Draw 3      Karl_Marx                 Rageflame (B)

For those who just want to quickly know how the time is achieved without watching, here is a short description: 

With this new knowledge, if you want to try for yourself, please remember that the Map of the Month gets switched pretty soon.
 
In conclusion
Thanks again to all who helped to make this happen. What I can tell so far is that the series will continue, CCC-2 has already been discussed with the Event Managers - but before that my guess is that we will see some other contests/events.
If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me. If you want to discuss or host any other kind of contest, contact our Event Managers Hiko and/or Metagross. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your own event!
 

It's valid till the end of January, so no worries 😃

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #1 - the very first Crappy Community Contest!
 
 
THE CONTEST HAS ENDED.
To see the winners, scroll down below. If you are just here to grab the booster code, there you go:  CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES
 
 
 
What are “Crappy Community Contests”?
This and future CCCs are meant to be super-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 this contest is a participation price for the whole community.
 
What, when, where, how?
There are no special rules for this contest besides one:
rPVE 1 (Map of the Month) - Fastest time wins 

Small groups of bandits escaped from the rPVE9 contest. Kill them fast! 
 
The contest has started already! Submit your replay of your fastest rPVE 1 1-Player MotM run through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116, please include your IGN) or the Skylords Forum (DM to Kapo) until 26.12. 23:59:59 (= 7 days time total).

You can submit multiple times, but only your fastest one will count. Please note that the Top 3 Replays will be posted here in the forums.
You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays
 
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 30 participants (unique players, not entries), you will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the whole Skylords Community. If more than 50 participants enter, it will be upgraded to a Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to do a quick run, rPVE 1 is less than three minutes but it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. 
 
The fastest skylords will get small prices too, sponsored by myself and other skylords:
1st place               1000 bfp + Easter Egg + Bandit Minefield + Nether Warp (G)
2nd place              500 bfp + Wheel of Gifts + Matter Mastery (G) + Grinder P
3rd place               250 bfp + Worldbreaker Gun + Rogan Kayle + Grinder P
4rd place               100 bfp + Church of Negation + Bandit Sniper + Grinder R
5rd place               100 bfp + Home Soil  + Bloodhorn (R) + Grinder R
6rd place               100 bfp + Battleship + Matter Mastery (G)
7rd place               100 bfp + Ashbone Pyro + Cultist Master
8rd place               75 bfp + Cultist Master + Ravenheart
9th place                50 bfp + Corsair + Ravenheart
10th place              50 bfp + Ravenheart + Plague
11th place              Crystal Fiend (G) + Aggressor G
12th place              Plague + Frost Crystal
13th place              Amii Paladins + Mountain Rowdy P
14th place              Amii Paladins + Coldsnap +
15th place              Soulhunter B + Soulhunter P
16th place              4 Crystals (Dark/Flame/...) and 2  Amii Phantoms as a Consolation Prize 😉

Upper 50%             Split share of 3000 BFP
Lower 50%             One random Skylord in the lower half recieves Enlightenment, another one Rageflame (B), another one Amii Monument.
Last Place               Juice Tank (x4)
In the unlikely case of a tie, the run that has been submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks.
If one or more mighty Skylords decides to sponsor this event, please contact me, I would be more than happy to upgrade the price pool. My special thanks to the SR Team for supporting a community prize idea. Also a big thanks to the following Skylords for sponsoring cards and/or BFP:
THE_BIG_WET     Easter Egg Promo
CrazyCockerell    Bandit Sniper
Ultralord             500 BFP + Crystals
Dutchy                3000 BFP + Ashbone Pyro, Cultist Master, Home Soil, Battleship, Worldbreaker Gun, Bandit Minefield, Corsair (G), Bloodhorn (R),
                           Crystal Fiend (G), Matter Mastery (G), Rogan Kayle
Worgrimm          Amii Monument
Sanguiris             Rageflame B, Nether Warp (G), Church of Negation, Matter Mastery G, Ravenheart (x4), Grinder P (x2), Grinder R (x2), Cultist Master, Plague, Mountain Rowdy P, Frost Crystal, Soulhunter P, Soulhunter B, Aggressor G, Aggressor B, Amii Paladins (x2), Amii Phantom (x2)

In conclusion
My hope is to start off a series of CCCs with very different ideas and themes, to explore the possibilities of small scale contests that don't take weeks to prepare and execute. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Kapo
 
Future events
If you are interested in helping with these (or better) kinds of events for the community, or want to host one yourself, don't be afraid and simply reach out! Contact our beloved Event Managers Minashigo Hiko and Metagross31 on the forums or discord. They are happy to assist you with upcoming events and with sponsoring your prize pool!
If you especially like this small-scale-format and you have an idea for it, you may also contact me directly to discuss your idea.

I have actually talked to my fellow rpve comrades quite recently about a similar idea for a contest.
I think it's a great contest to show how much really small micro decisions can make and since it's singleplayer and only takes about 2 minutes it's easy to find room for improvement.

During the contest she was already neglected enough 🤣

Hey all!
The contest is over and the participation was overwhelming - I thank you all for that. Love you folks
All in all I got 33 replays, of which 24 where valid (3 double/6 invalid because of not opened chests).
70 unique Players participated, that where more then in any other official contest so far (no guarantee on that).
The Players with the most runs where:
Paxvobiscum with 5 entries
Damo with 4 entries
and Subnnobs, Malolo, Taylor, AntonWsh and Janjua each with 3 entries

I thank you very much for your replays. We will look out for the hot scenes and present you the highlight in the Stream on the 07.11.2021. Of course we will present you a full ranking then and hope for your patience until then! Keep the up!

Hello Skyfolks,
again me with an update.

We have been struggling with the question of whether to publish an interim score and how to publish it - as in every of this events. Many people give me the feedback, that I can feel, that they would like to know where are they standing.
Others of course want to polish their times first, or need to find the time to do so in a 4 player group, we understand this too.
We are also aware that such a ranking can be motivating as well as demotivating - we hope it can push you again - so here we are:

There are already 12 submissions and a lot of people have still announced to send one. Here are the, anonymous, times of the top 3 as well as the currently 8th place.
1st   10:57 min
2nd  10:57 min
3rd   12:04 min
...
8th  14:06 min
Yes, this is no copy and paste error, we have two submissions within the same second!


To further increase your motivation to participate, we have decided that the prize pool will be expanded if we get beyond the 16 entries! Then there will be a booster per person for the places from the 9th to the teams that are in the top 50%.
If we even crack the 30, we can possibly talk about even more boosters, so send me your replays!

Good.

Anyone looking for a teammate? I have lots of nature level 3 cards or even shadow(infest warp phoenix overlord)
Message me in-game I have same username

Due to unfair treatment of one of our speedrunning team member which is connected to a ban for the 3 next official pve/pvp events I will not participate in this event. 

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


What kind of event will it be?

rPvE/Battlegrounds 4player - Map of the Month - Difficulty 9
Join us in an invasion against the bandit camps that endangers the human realm.
Be fast, be quick and do not forget the gold!
We are weakened and limited, gather together fellow skylords!
The old Amii structure can not help us in this conquest.

In order to defeat our enemies quickly, Volin will be happy to provide you with strategic advice.

When will it start?

We will be accepting entries starting 11.10.2021 00:00 CET.
The event will run for approximately 2 weeks, so you have time until the beginning of the last week of October.
To be specific: 25.10.2021 23:59 CET.
You can send your replays through DM to Volin on Discord (Volin#8101) or through a PM to him on the forum.

Stream, when?

We will stream the Event conclusion on Saturday, the 6th of November Sunday, the 7th of November 13:00 CET on the official Skylords channel via Twitch.

How can I participate?

You just have to send in your fastest replay, including the player names. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory]
For example: "Hiko, Majora, Volin, Toggy"

Please note: You are allowed to send in different replays, but only the fastest one will count. This means that if you compete with multiple teams, the one that reached the best time will also be your personal best time.

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

What are the rules?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The team with the fastest time wins. Only mono color decks (colorless cards are allowed). Every team member has to play with a different color. Collect all gold chests. No Amii monument. Only Map of the Month. Have fun! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?

The following prize pool will be adjusted according to the amount of participants.
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 place               7 general Booster packs
5th-8th place        6 general Booster packs

10th place             3 general Booster pack

13th-15th place    1 general Booster pack

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In conclusion

This event focuses on your speed and teamwork on this rPvE map.

To summarize the event in simple steps:
Look for a team. You can either do this below this topic, on Discord or Ingame. Scout the map. Decide who plays which color and which position. Run the Map. Collect all gold chests. Satisfied? Send the replay to Volin! (Volin#8101 on Discord) or PM your best replay to him (in the forum).

Big thanks to Volin for helping us with this event!

New time for rPvE 10 1player 

New record on behind enemy lines

true

Update on the rPvE Map of the Month difficulty 9 record: 
7:24.1
 
 

New Record on rPvE Map of the Month difficulty 9:  
7:32.8

if pos3 is to hard for a single one, pos 4 can suport him verry well.  As always for expert maps, if it seems to hard, communication will help.

and 196605 = 65535 * 3
where 3 is  for 1p 2p 4p rPvE maps because all 3 of them have difficulty 10 and 65535 are all possible seeds (maximum value of 16 bit unsigned inteager - 1 because 0 is not allowed as seed)
if you would want other difficulties you can multiply it by 10 (each difficulty have its own maps)
if you want all presets that are present, but are not available under SR (and was not under EA) then you can multiply it by 10 (only 1 preset per seed is picked)

If you want to thank us that someone read your proposal and made the research that you obviously did not do, then you are welcome ... why would you propose something that you did not look into???
Are you for real?? Read this quote below again and pay attention (or were you not able to count to 2) 
why would shaman go up in price he is one of the cards thats worth the most even tho he is bad. Do you even have an idea how many cards are in the game and how much the top 20% priced cards cost? I guess you do not. Stop throwing random numbers and „facts“ around and defending this idea because its just bad. 
 
It is your own fault if you tell us you played 1 game each day and didn‘t progress: there ist the daily boost which requires 60 minutes of playtime (the daily booster before which required 30 minutes of ingame time)
The start is boring and no one can really change that if the game wants to have a healthy economy over a long time. 
 
Another proposition where you have no idea what you are talking about. 
Thanks to Kubik i do not need to comment on this any further

Just because the forum offers you a platform to make your absurd suggestions, doesn't mean that you should use this opportunity. And stop making up random numbers that support your argumentation in the situational context, which on closer inspection are completely valueless

how exactly you @Buddelmuddel plan to sort 196605 maps in 1,5h? And why exactly you did not do it already? You can generate all of them with editor.

Irrelevant. Get down from your high horse. Don’t act like you are some kind of Messias every game needs to have.
This is a terrible idea: 
1. your math is wrong: 2+3+5=10 not 8
2. i think the devs have better stuff to do than implementing such a system that obviously won’ t work. As an Example: prices develop dynamically so after reset when the highly demanded t1 cards get sold for way more than most of the other cards, your idea sucks because the chance of these cards dropping in a booster will be even smaller than it is with the current booster system. 
To the PvP start idea: if you would have followed the recent events you would have noticed that there is an other idea which gives every player access to every PvP deck for ranked at deck level 120. 
Belongs to balance discord where such ideas are already discussed. 
Great idea! You can start by checking all seeds for battlegrounds for their "true" difficulty level yourself.
conclusion: Don‘t act like you are able to fix problems of this game with 4 bad ideas in which you put no research in.
