MarkyJoe1990 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Ragefest IV: Trolls & Tribulations Work Flow The goal is to make a single-chapter hack in either Fire Emblem 6, 7, 8, or FEXP. After your hack is created, send it to MarkyJoe1990. He will then do a blind play through of your hack with commentary. After MarkyJoe1990 has played through all of the hacks, he will create a video where the audience will vote on the hacks based on how rage inducing, funny, and creative the submissions were. After the voting ends, rankings will be decided based on the votes, and the contest ends. Deadlines Deadlines will be handled very differently this time around. There will be no "definite" deadline. Instead, each contestant will have one month to make progress on their hack. By the end of each month, the contestant must show that they've made significant progress on their submission. If they do, their personal deadline will be extended to another month, which can be extended one more time given that they show significant progress again. When at least 5 submissions have made it into the contest, MarkyJoe1990 will begin recording submissions. While he is recording each submissions, additional submissions will be accepted if they are submitted before MarkyJoe1990 finishes recording the other submissions. You will not be given an extension unless you have made significant progress. Remember this. Rules - Custom events are required for your chapter. - Designing your chapter to require excessive luck is not allowed. - Arenas are banned. - Fog of War with vision distance less than 3 requires an easy and early to obtain torch or unit with vision distance bonus (Thief vision). - Fire Emblem 5 styled Fog of War with vision distance less than 5 requires an easy and early to obtain torch or unit with vision distance bonus (Thief vision). - You must be able to beat your hack with 3 save states or less. Guidelines - Do not pad the length your submission. Ideally, trolling MarkyJoe1990 should be done swiftly and painfully. A short, but compact chapter will likely have greater impact. Unless you can make your chapter feel grand and epic instead of morbidly obese, do not attempt to make your chapter large and long. - Do not reference other Ragefest submissions. This will never make me laugh. The only exception I found was when Ephraim225 referenced Nintelord Saga in his Ragefest 2 submission, and Nintenlord Saga isn't even a ragefest submission itself. You are not going to win over any voters for this. - Memes are hatred. Unless the entire point of your submission is to piss me off by abusing memes (Which would actually be an interesting idea), avoid using memes. PLEASE. Dear god. Awards In the voting part of the contest, voters will decide which submissions earned which of the following awards. Douchebag Award - Most sadistic hack. This should be given to hacks that successfully extracted frequent, powerful negative reactions from MarkyJoe1990. A perfect example is FELover's "Marc's Special Day". Jester Award - Funniest hack. Great example would be Cedar Nyx's "Matthew's Nightmare". Artist Award - Best map design. Maps that are intricate and detailed should be given this. Great example would be Klokinator's "Generic War". Imaginative Award - Most creative hack. This goes to hacks that are extremely inventive in how they challenge/torture the player. A good example is Ephraim225's "Bullet Hell Madness", or Blazer's "Prisoner of Darkness". Ragefest Award - Your personal favorite submission.

Shugey Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I.... won't be submitting anything. I'll just watch and whatnot. Although I guess I could help make sure that the submissions aren't buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klokinator Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Bladehero22, reporting in. My blade is sharpened, and I am ready... TO TROLL YOU. HA HA HA HA HA It'd be funnier if you said "HEE!

Bladehero22 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Ah, Marc. One more thing. Don't expect my submission to come in til' late. I have a SHIT TON of homework which fills in the time I have to work on my submission. But I promise you that I WILL get something submitted.

Baldrick Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have a question. When you say "show significant progress", what kind of evidence would be best? Snippets of event codes, screenshots, a draft patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyJoe1990 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have a question. When you say "show significant progress", what kind of evidence would be best? Snippets of event codes, screenshots, a draft patch? I've thought about this, and it's occurred to me that I should have other people confirm that there is progress for me. Any way is fine, so long as people can confirm to me that you are working on your submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladehero22 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It's been awfully silent in this thread. Are people just not interested in Ragefest anymore? *random cricket noises* lol If it's been silent, then I have no clue. I was planning on posting something regarding my hack's progress, but... I just haven't gotten around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 because this is a shriveled up idea that has grown old over the last three contests and you should think of something new! who knows maybe people are just too busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Marc needs to think of something new? Well, I do have ONE thing on my mind... Go make a competing contest. That way, capitalism will force Marc to innovate and make a superior product. Free market, bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyron Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) the hackers are likely busy and without hackers posting updates there is nothing to discuss also marky joe as you said the hackers need to show progress monthly and since you usually play them blind are you going to have someone who the hackers will show stuff to or will they need to find people to vouch for them lol arch Edited September 29, 2012 by Cyron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladehero22 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Go make a competing contest. That way, capitalism will force Marc to innovate and make a superior product. Free market, bitches. LOL, Arch. But no. Regarding an idea I gave him earlier about contestants make a hack and submit it... What was on my mind is that someone else records the submissions. Like me, or Trent.
