Base Class Challenge Chat Thread III: Gotta 'Brew 'Em All!

[Temotei]

Are you rooting against me?? Lol.

Me? No. Neverrrrrrr.

But actually, all of the classes are good. I'd be happy with any one winning.

Even if it means you get YET ANOTHER KNEECAP. Going to run out at this rate...

You know, I actually forgot that Heroes of Note was my idea. I guess I should at least support my own baby. I officially cast my vote for Heroes of Note as the next theme.

[sirpercival]

Temo, do you think it'll be confusing to have both music-based classes and "ancient heroes"-based classes in the same contest?

[Temotei]

Good point.

Perhaps the theme will be ancient heroes, but if you feel like making a music-based class, it should involve those ancient heroes in the primary class feature(s) (anointed heritor-style stuff, maybe). So, basically, ancient heroes is the theme.

...meh. I was set to make the Percussionist... I don't suppose Keith Moon counts as an ancient hero?

Or we could make it only musically-based classes if everyone would rather have that.

How about everyone votes for either way right now, so even if it doesn't win, we can pick next contest?

And if it does win, we can do the other next contest if everyone is cool with that.

You want to start a new contest before this one finishes the vote tally? (which I'm ok with.)

[malonkey1]

Nah, we're just deciding the theme of the next.

Well, my intention for the suggestion (and what I interpreted it as when I voted for it) was that it was based on music. Also, I think making "ancient heroes" so close on the heels of "movie heroes" would not give us much variety, and there isn't all that much variety in ancient heroes anyway. Robin Hood is a rogue-ranger type, Merlin is a wizard, and then we have a bunch of bruisers: King Arthur, Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Achilles, Samson, Hercules, and tiny bit of guile or trickery based heroes, and maybe Theseus who was still a fighter but more of a dexterity-based one. Yeah, King Arthur and Achilles won't be the same, but will they be different enough?

[malonkey1]

You know, I was looking at some of the old Incentive Comics from OoTS, and I was thinking, maybe sometime we should do a "Mis-Spelled" themed contest. Rouges, sneak-attackers based on the color Red, Sourcer, the Wikipedian Paladin, etc.

I second this. That's an awesome idea.

I like it. There actually was a very old class called "rouge" on here where the brewer made it into a makeup-using class. It was formatted really poorly, but it was pretty hilarious.

I could see a misspelled contest working well.

I like it too... are we revoting, or putting a pin in it for next time around? I'll change my vote to it if allowed.

I'd still like to see Something Bad Luck done before any of the other suggestions so far.

I can always create a new row in the table. The themes table is never set; you guys can always think of new ones to vote for. If you change your vote, just give some indication that you've voted before, whether it's "I've already voted" or "instead of..." or "I will change my vote to this from this."

Don't sweat changing your votes, though. It's totally cool.

Alternatively, we can just hold the misspelled contest after this one, which is what I was going to do.

[malonkey1]

In that case, I'd definitely want to change my vote to Mis-Spelled. Unless we're just gonna do it after the next one.

[Octopusapult]

If Something Bad Luck doesn't win, then Mis-Spelled has my vote. XD

[sirpercival]

I'm not convinced there are enough common misspellings... rouge is the big offender, but what else is there?

[Temotei]

I reckon they don't have to be common misspellings. Make up your own if you have to.

Or you can just misinterpret the names. Paladin could be something about friendship and aiding (pal a'din', yo).

Oh, I see. So, like, the figter, barbearian, or ragner?

[Morph Bark]

Amorsmith
Barred
Frighter
Dearth Knight
Rouge

And anything starting with "war" replaced with "bar". (Barmage, barblade, barcanist, barlock, barpriest, etc.)

I'm sure there are plenty others, these were just thought up in a few seconds. Key is that it's not just commonly misspelled things, but just misspelled things in general that people can just make up. Of course, if done on purpose and built around it, that would make it not misspelled for the purpose of the classes themselves, but the idea of "this is misspelled" will still linger in the back of your head.

BEARD, which is a result of the tendency to add Es randomly that happens to my friends and me. They type Tim, it comes out Time.

[malonkey1]

Dwarven Defunder
Derpish Dancer
Board
Werelock
Warluck

etc.

[Temotei]

1st Place: Astronomer, by sirpercival.
2nd Place: Arcane engineer, by malonkey1.
3rd Place: Deiologist, by Quellian-dyrae.

Here we are. Next contest will be the "Heroes of Note" option. I'll get it up tomorrow.

I'm sad I just thought of posting the idea of an "April Fools" theme... Maybe next year. :p

And I'm looking forward to Heroes of Note.

Votes are votes. Unless there's a massive outcry, I'll be sticking to them.

And I'm looking forward to Heroes of Note.

Good.

[sirpercival]

Which version of Heroes of Note are you doing?

[Temotei]

Which version of Heroes of Note are you doing?

The musical version. It was sengmeng's original intention and what you originally wanted. As well, Drammor seems to sympathize and Bozwevial said "score" in his post so I'm just going to make a massive assumption and take it as the fourth vote, which is already one more than needed to be the majority vote.

EDIT: On that note, hear we gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sweet. I shall begin writing the Percussionist!

You could say that you're just oboe-iling with excitement? I'm trembling with antici.
