Forge of Creation 5 - Group Stages. (groups, rules, questions)

Group Stages

YOU ARE WORKING BY YOURSELF AT ALL TIMES!!

Welcome to the 5th Dotafire Forge of Creation Contest!! Here is where you shall post all questions regarding the group stages of the contest. You will also be able to read the rules and get in contact with the forge master (itsa MMEEE) for problems.

Group stages start as soon as i have created each groups Thread (27/05/2015) and will close on 12/06/2015 if you have not submitted your required idea by then you will be scratched out of the FoC and banned from the next one, plus receive a disapproving glare from me... i also will most likely include a highly raised eyebrow in with the glare.... you have been warned.

GROUP STAGE RULES

Submission threads are for SUBMISSIONS ONLY, if i see any comments that arent submissions on them you will get one warning then the whole group will get docked 5 points from there scores... for the rest of the FoC.

you will be given a scheme/parameter/guideline/base idea to create your idea on. please adhere to this as your score is directly attached to how well you have worked with what you have been given. if it says create an item ... dont create a bloody hero.

any questions about your idea please post here. any questions or comments about anyone else's . post here. questions .... go ... here.

any unrulyness will be dealt with by the forge enforcer!(wulfy-samaaaa) *AHEM* good? good!

SCORING

Once the deadline is reached i will create a scoring thread. Scores ONLY. if i see one... ONE comment that is anything but scores you will lose 5 points from your score. dont test me on this cause im going to have to go through a bucket load of scores and i dont want to sift through "why did you give me this or i dnt think thats right" if i have to i will not be happy.
each group will score another groups idea's. this is to deal with any kind of bias.

i will make a deadline for scoring. adhere to it. if i end up chasing down scores i will not be happy.... at all.

scoring is out of two categories. Viability out of 25 points and Originality out of 25 points.for a total of 50 points per score.

viability : how balanced and viable the idea is within the constructs of the game and with the least amount of significant required change to any type of mechanics or coding.

Originality: how original the submitted idea is.

50/50 per submitted score for a total of 200 points per group.

I will place a scoring template below for you ALL to follow.

WINNERS and SECOND PLACE of each group will be put into a pool where 2 semi final groups will be made. Winners and SECOND PLACE of the semifinals will go onto the finals. While the 3rd & 4th placed members of the semis will go to the losers group where they will compete for the losers bracket prize. 5th placed members will be eliminated.

Semi final scoring will be done by the opposite group while Finals will be judged by a panel of judges and the forge master. the scoring for all stages stays the same.

Good Luck and have fun. :)

i apologise if the rules seem harsh but well im sorry but my time my rules my prizes. i dont want to sift through 500 comments to find an idea or a score.

Thank you for using my idea in Group C.

(How's that, Yzreel?)

So, where do we put questions\concerns\criticisms\ect?

What's considered a Pos. 3 hero?

A hero can be played in different roles, and the intra-team welfare thing has really messed it up.

Perhaps if you said something like: Initiator, Carry, Escape, etc.

@sofa
Position 3 is categorised by the role of offlaner/initiator/sololaner by saying Pos 3 it is more specific then saying initiator since lion can initiate and i dont want you creating a support.

think tide cent bat bristle


@swamp
everything goes here swamp. and no where else :)

Why is ogre listed as more than one unit?

2 heads? it was more to indicate the fact that there is a required duality. in hindsight ogre wasnt the best indicator.


changed to meepo/lone druid. now you get the idea yes>?

It said more than one unit, and the lack of jakiro made me think there was a Dota 1 ogre I didn't know about or something. So, can it simply be a multi-headed\mind-ed creature, or should we focus on multiple units like a meepo?

multiple units. and they must be core to the hero.

so not like chen or enchantress or NP

Do we have an example of an item that is the nemesis of a hero? I have some thoughts, but I want to see something.
