    posted a message on Dalaran Heist bug? Progress messed up

    Yes, both bugs currently exist for people who play in any Chapter that is not the first one. Your progress hasn't gone anywhere: it's just visually messed up, wherein it assumes your progress from Chapter 1 is the same for all Chapters.

    No, no, no.
    Realistically one of them isn't even Bob, and therefore doesn't fit the rules.

     Yeah, I didn't notice until afterward. I guess that means Shadows will be the winner :P

    wait, what happens when there's only two cards that received upvotes?

     Usually everyone goes, if possible: we like the minimum to be 8. In this situation, however...maybe we'll only take the two lol.

    Well, at least I got one win lel.

    Also, if you haven't figured it out by now, HearthPwn shutting down is the main reason the Gallery was never going to be updated. "Why bother fixing the error?", and all that. I didn't know it originally, but after I knew the truth I couldn't share it either.

    Hey Link, you've won some flavor texts for making it to the finals.

    I'm sure that was an effort and a half to make; thank you for this :) I love the Spellstone in particular.

    posted a message on Farewell HearthPwn...
    Quote from Ph4ntasm >>

    Is there not any way another person can step up and they clone the website over to their server to keep this running?  I don't understand if it is a server thing or an admin thing not being able to keep up with it anymore. I am sure some folks are more than willing to take that job over to keep this site up and running.

     It's a "the people at the very top decided they can't be bothered to let HearthPwn live" thing. It has nothing to do with our willingness to maintain the website.

    posted a message on WCDC Season 9 Finale - Mini Comp #7 (Submission)


    This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.


    Competition Theme: Last Meal

    Competition-Specific Restrictions:

    • You must write flavor text for one of the victorious Season 9 entries.
    • You must include the card in question with your submission.
    • You can find all of the options in the Grand Finale Poll.

    General Competition Rules

    These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.

    First, these are the rules about Posting:

    • You are allowed to submit only one entry . An entry normally consists of only one collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
    • You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once , only to submit your one entry.
    • You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic , not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
    • Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is forsubmissions only . If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
    • Once you have submitted your one entry, you are allowed to make only minor changes to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us first.

    These are the rules about your Submission:

    • Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some minimal additional commentary to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
    • You may not submit any Gold cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
    • Your entry must be a card of your own creation. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, we will know.
    • Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards. Save it and upload it to ImgurPhotobucket, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
    • Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit.

    A Note on Group Submissions: if you team up with other people to submit an entry, you must enclose that information in your submission and none of you may upvote that entry. That would be considered an unfair advantage and we will treat it as vote-manipulation. You are technically voting for yourself, and that is not allowed. Failing to tell us you're in a group is also against the rules, as we'll have no choice but to assume that you withheld the information to ghost-vote your group's submission.

    TIP: Though not a rule exactly, we highly recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor:  . Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.

    Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.


    Competition Process

    NOTE: Mini-Competitions have very different time-tables than our normal competitions, so please pay attention so that you're not caught off-guard!

     Entry Phase and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 11/6/2019) 
    It is during this Phase that you may submit entries to the Submission Topic. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Note that this is only 24 hours! 
     Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 11/6/2019, Ends 22:00 UTC 11/6/2019) 
    During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites! Note that this phase only lasts for 1 Hour. 
     Final Phase (Starts 22:00 UTC 11/6/2019. Ends 21:00 UTC 12/6/2019) 
    During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!

    How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:

    ( ab ) / ( c ) = x

    Where,
    a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission.
    b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received.
    c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission.
    x = The submission's final score.

    The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.

    The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.

    But wait, there's more! During each Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given aWild Card , which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun. 
    (Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)


    Rewards

    Note that Mini-Competition winners, unfortunately, do not get to select any future competition theme.

    Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners: 
     Their card forever immortalized in our Winners' Gallery
     And a unique Avatar Border & " Card Design Champion " Title, as depicted below!

     


    Good Luck!
