Iron Chef Optimization Challenge in the Playground XXIII

[Kefkafreak]

Submitted. I'm not sure if it's too weird to be useful, but it's original for sure.

[Vandicus]

Submitted. Really curious as to what everyone else came up with.

[BobVosh]

Dropped, I haven't had time oddly.

[OMG PONIES]

Working on my submission, trying to shoehorn it in by the deadline.

[BinaryMage]

I'm still judging this, after an inability to think up a build that wouldn't be better off taking some other prestige class.

So, is judging still open? Closed? Is it ever closed?

[OMG PONIES]

Oh my. In putting together the skeleton of my build, I have found something most excellent. Most excellent indeed . Now let's hope I have time to stitch everything together by the Wednesday night deadline.

I believe the current system allows anyone to judge up until the deadline.

[Piggy Knowles]

Submitted! Spent a lot longer on the fluff than I expected, so I probably won't get the chance to put together a second entry. Still, pretty happy with my entry!

[Private-Prinny]

I believe the current system allows anyone to judge up until the deadline.

This would be correct. The only people who are barred from judging are the contestants.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the info!

[BobVosh]

This would be correct. The only people who are barred from judging are the contestants.

And you PP :P

[DeAnno]

Submitted. With all these double entries there might be a lot of contestants.

[Private-Prinny]

Interestingly, all 6 builds that I've received have used different domains. I thought a few choices would be more popular, but instead some of the less obvious domains are getting a chance to shine. And every domain takes the build in a completely different direction.

Cool! I'm really excited to see the builds.

[Tam_OConnor]

I wait with baited breath.

In other words: Originality is going to be on the high end this round

[DeAnno]

When I was starting my entry I was really surprised at how useless most of the domains looked from the perspective of having only 9 spells total. I had a few other ideas I decided not to pursue, it'll be interesting to see if anyone did.

That depends on whether "unusual Domain choice" is the metric the judges choose for Originality.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

If it is one I would have never thought of, it would likely give at least a small boost to Originality.

[Private-Prinny]

I have a wake to attend, so I'm pushing the reveal back by 2 hours. The submission deadline still stands, though.

[Zaq]

Blast. Probably not going to get it in on time, then. Last night did not go quite as I expected.

Oh well. Depending on how many entries there are, I might end up judging.

[kestrel404]

Submitted. After 4 complete, from-scratch rebuilds (because deciding on a different domain does that to this PrC), I've finally got a build that makes good use of the spells and has a reason to take this PrC instead of something more versatile.

I look forward to seeing what everyone else has made.

[Cieyrin]

I wonder if anyone will have thought of the build idea I had thought of but didn't have time to put together as I forgot that it would have fit with the contest. Ah well, it focused too heavily on a different PrC for its power and would have suffered immensely in UoSI.

[gbprime]

Build Submitted. Pity I only had time to finish formatting on the one. (Killer week at work.) We'll see if my other idea would have gotten used.

[OMG PONIES]

I really hope I did my basic math right...the deadline is 7 PM on the east coast of the US, right?

[DeAnno]

I think the Deadline is actually 8 PM EST due to Daylight Savings shiftings. (Google seems to believe right now = 10:16 PM GMT)

[term1nally s1ck]

It's half an hour til deadline right now.

[OMG PONIES]

Either way, my build has been submitted. I'm pretty sure I'm still before the deadline...

RL craziness prevented me from submitting two builds, though. I had to go with the better of the two.

[term1nally s1ck]

SUbmitted with 2 mins to spare. Yikes.

[Amphetryon]

SUbmitted with 2 mins to spare. Yikes.

That's so much better than 30 seconds late.
