Here. Done in trainer in 30 minutes.
Nice try. More quanta x 100. Disqualified.

I see I need to clarify the rules a bit.

...In all previous competitions, finding loopholes was actually encouraged. Like you always say, if the rules say nothing about something, there's no restriction. It's not my fault you specified nothing about the trainer.

Your goal is to start a new account and get a record of 100 wins and 0 losses with a score of at least 1200. Using the trainer is not allowed.


where is the loophole?

I think the "start a new account" thing was there beforehand, but not the trainer thing. But xdude did not start a new account by using the Trainer; I think yala wins.

I couldn't care less what happened with previous competitions. There's a difference between finding small loopholes to use to your advantage, and finding big loopholes that destroy the whole competition.

I didn't mention trainer because frankly I didn't think anyone would even consider it to be legal. Please explain me how using that loophole would make this competition any fun? But it's mentioned in the rules now so problem solved.

Smart way would have been to PM me first about this. This way you wouldn't have wasted your time. You should have known that using a trick like that is not allowed because then this competition would be 100% pointless.

Well, I thought consistency was wanted... I guess I was wrong.

Small loopholes? Like PlanPlan buying 12 daggers because the requirement was "have 12 permanents"? That's the problem with small SS competitions, which don't have very well written rules. One loophole and either:

a) The competition ends very fast
OR
b) Somebody is disqualified because he done something which the rules allow.

BTW, I couldn't care less about the forum award either.

First image is from game, second one is from trainer.



Ok.. this competition was much easier than I thought which means I have to make some changes to rules.

I also probably have to give yaladilae some kind of prize too because he did finish the competition according to original rules.


I changed the rules a bit. Ask if you have any questions.

OK, I guess I didn't really make a new account, so I failed. However, the loophole was nice :P

There was some confusion because my poor choice of wording.

xdude hasn't of course been disqualified from this competition. I disqualified the image, which probably doesn't make much sense but that's what I meant. Nobody can be disqualified for breaking a rule that didn't exist at the time.

So what I meant was: that image is illegal and not accepted.
