...no, wait, maybe this is Dan Brown
I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be the hint...

If it is, I didn't follow. I very carefully reread everything, and apart from some "general" statements that can be abused, but are obviously intended to fit with specific later statements, I can't find anything really sneaky.
Spending gold is difficult. Curse you stat blocks!

The third submission is in. This is shaping up to be some stiff competition.

It is, indeed. Well, some may argue it is most of a joke, which is real, but I had my idea carefully reading the PrC text. This happened last time too: reading and knowing the secret ingredient is the key to start to guess how use it in a exotic, useful way.
The hint I intended to give would have been more specific and I'll reveal at the end of the contest (promise), so I wouldn't risk to reveal myself

I hear you there. Really want to compare builds.
MoM is a pretty crappy PrC though I have to say. Only its flavor makes it interesting. I see a lot of potential for high scores on originality, but little on power.

I have power, but my use of secret ingredient is going to suffer like hell. That tends to be the case when I build.
I strongly suspect there are going to be elegance dockings as well. Oh well.

Still working. I need to finish picking out a few things and integrating them into my level 20 build, then do a quick check. And finalize skill distributions. I also suspect some of my skills might be off slightly (1-2 points) because of initial illegal point-buy, and a LOT of synergy bonuses.

Re: Iron Chef Optimization Challenge VI
Maybe it was a mistake having several of the most consistent contestents (try saying that 5 times fast) judge the same competition.
Edit: Consistent Contestents Constantly Create Capable Characters.

Eh, we still only managed 4 judges volunteering, so maybe it's for the best. 3 submissions isn't bad, there's still 2-3 days to go :)

If you remember, even with warchanter there were only 2/3 contestants until the very last day. After the closing it turned out that it has a real flood of contestants

They have. I just got 2 more submissions today. None of them seem to overlap at all. All very distinct usages.

Actually, I was waiting for Person_Man to get back to me on judging. The fifth seat belongs to Hand_of_Vecna if he still wants it.

That it has. 6 submissions are in with 2 more days to go.
Edit: I'm also going to start taking suggestions for the next Secret Ingredient. I should probably start thinking of something.

Not sure what to say about the new ingredient honestly. I'll think about it for a day or two.

For Secret Ingredient suggestions, please PM me instead of flooding the thread. I probably should've said that in the first place.
