Faction Creation Contest | Game Design

Ah, must commend the devs for actually listening to the community. 

I voted. Do I get a sticker or something?? :p

Please read all entries before casting your vote. They are all great choices here, and most have been edited and improved since their creation, so ones you may have disliked earlier could be rockin' now! Also, there is lots of great discussions in their respective threads about their unique gameplay.

Best of luck!  

Again, just the mere fact that you guys took the time to listen to the suggestions of your player base, and made an attempt to address our concerns, shows that you guys here at Amplitude are a top notch studio. Although I already had loads of respect for you guys, this just makes that level rise even more.

GOOD LUCK TO THE 12 SEMI-FINALISTS! 

You guys have some GREAT submissions!

Congratulations to all the contestants who made it this far! All the entries deserve praise.

May the best one win. 

Strange how the WeatherKin were in 2nd on the Contest list but now at the bottom of the this list.

I agree. It would have been nice and fair to see the top three at the top. 

Good luck to everybody!  It's an honor to see my entry next to yours. May the best submission win!

Yeah, I was surprised myself

Strange how Weatherkin was also the only one that advertised in 2 separate posts on the General forums...

Probably the list is all random. And that the Unfallen turned out to be first on the list was a coincidence.

Nah they are all pretty much in the popular order besides mine.

You are doing fine and the last position isent that bad after all.

Or maybe its because of your excessive colorful bumping even though your true intentions.

Perhaps that is my punishment for cloud-bumping, yes.

Ridiculi, I did advertise once for the first stage of the contest and now a second time for the finals.  I'm sure anyone who made an entry is allowed to promote.

This. Promotion is something everybody can do (though I wish I thought about the forums myself ) so I think it's fair game. Besides, a lot of centestants advertised in one way or another, myself included.

Let's just let fate or chance decide.  All the top entries are very good, and whichever one gets picked will certainly make this a better game.  I'm excited for everyone! :)

BTW: Who made that list? ^^ I am little unhappy with the decription of my submission.
I dont want to be a stickler but The Protectionism of the Legion isent as anywhere important that the fact that they grow and live on ASTEROIDS.

I would have descripted as 

"On Asteroids living silicon mushrooms"

I somewhat disagree, since that's why the Contest forum is it's own forum specifically for contests. That being said, I hope you don't think I was taking down toward your WeatherKin idea

Well not all of us run a website about 4x games (https://explorminate.net) and have a Steam forum with over 2k members to advertise to.  Just trying to balance out my exposure.

I can understand that, and I don't agree with them either... in fact I'm rooting for you over them

It is. I mentioned explicitly in the rules that abusing replies to bump one's topic could lead to sanctions. Unfortunately, because I wasn't there to point out how you were treading on the rules, I chose to compromise, and instead of booting your entry from the contest for rule-breaking, I chose instead to put it in the last spot. I believe this is a fair sanction for intentionally breaking the rules, regardless of intent (seeing as this intent secured you a spot in the finals).
