    Default JR Members only Scripting Competitions ?

    Well first :

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it.
    If not, I'll ask some mod to move it.

    Now, to the subject.
    Most of you know the SRL Scripting Competition which occurs once in a while.
    Haven't some of you dreamed of participating in one of these ?
    Personally : I do really want to participate in one of these :P.
    BUT its impossible, you gotta be really good scripter to even get ranked in the competition and most participants are :
    -SRL Members (Most)
    -SRL Developers
    -SRL Moderators

    Most of us, SRL JR Members, believe its IMPOSSIBLE to win against someone of these ranks in such a competition (I do xD).

    So i had an idea :

    Making a very own competition for JR Members.

    This wouldn't have any rewards or anything, but would be a good way to compare yourself to other SRL JR Members and see if you're better or worse than most of the SRL JR Members.

    Pro's : Would give us (JR Members) something to compete about without being SURE to loose (Normal competitions).
    Would be fun to see how good you are at scripting.
    Much more, think about it, you'll understand

    Con's : I'm sure alot of you know about it : ALOT of JR Members spammed their way to JR Member status, which would make the "Judges" (if they will be any) to get alot of "Hello World" scripts and pure fail scripts.
    We will need Judges who can be neutral, not get to vote for their friends (REALLY IMMATURE ! ).
    Some more...

    I think it would be fun, personally, I've dreamed about participating in one of these Competitions but i'm sure i'll loose XD.

    How the competiton will be made.(if this actually happens)

    1) The announcement.

    First, me, and the judges would announce that a scripting competition has started.
    The ones who want to participate have to apply to be in it on the same thread.
    I (or some other person) will check daily for new applyers.

    2) Start of competition.

    One week has passed since the announcement. The competition starts.
    You now have 5-7 days to make a script for the preliminary tests.
    The preliminary tests are like a little exam for you to pass to get into the real competition.
    If you don't pass it, you won't get into the real one.

    Only 10 participants in the real competition.
    In the first script, you will have to show that you control :
    -RadialWalking
    -Symbol Finding
    -Failsafes (!mportant)
    -Color finding
    -loops (no endless [Until (false);] loops)
    -Antiban and AntiRandoms.

    That script will have to do something of your choice (Imaaaagination [Spongebob Squarepants]).

    It doesn't have to compile or anything. Just show us that you know how to use the stuff shown up there ^^^. That means that if we add it in a real script, it compiles, no problem and works.

    Of course it has to compile and SHOULD be free unless its absolutely EXEPTIONAL !!!

    The judges will look if they find some skill (oh i'm sure they'll do ) in the scripts. If yes, you will be sent a pm by me, telling you that you passed the preliminary test.


    Reflection is NOT appreciated!


    3) The big time =)

    When 10 people have been elected. They got a delay of 7 days to create a script which is :
    -Failsafe !!!!
    -useing SRL (very important)
    -sturdy
    -Safe (antiban + randoms)
    -useing DTMs

    And all of the stuff above (see section 2).

    Reflection is NOT appreciated!

    4) The voting.

    7 days passed. We make a new thread where you can vote for your favorite script.
    It will contain :
    -Poll with the names of the 10 scripters.
    -Scripts of the 10 scripters

    YOU HAVE 7 DAYS NO MORE TO VOTE !

    You vote for the one you think should be the best (script eh, not scripter ).

    5) The results.

    We read the votes (they rate 0.5 each).
    We grade the candidates on :
    -Use of SRL (/15)
    -Failsafes(/15)
    -Walking, use of minimap (/15)
    -Anti Ban and Randoms (/15)
    -How long the script runs(/15)
    -Script look (too short, standarts, too long, unnecessary stuff) (/15)
    -Votes (/10) (So if you get 20 votes, then you get 10 points more ).

    After a debate between the judges.
    1-7 day(s) later, the judges EDIT the voting thread and post the results.
    The winner gets really motivated to get SRL Members and the others learn from the winner's script.

    RULES :
    -NO COPYING ! DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM SOMEONE ELSE !!!
    -Do not vote for your friend just to be kind, try to find the "little extra" in the script you want to win, and vote for it.
    -PLEASE , do not participate with a "hello world" script (TOTAL BEGINNER SCRIPT) here
    -No corrupting between candidates and judges eh ?

    Judge's rules :
    -You GOT to be neutral.
    -Do not unnecessarily vote for a candidate in the graded stuff if you don't think its worth it.
    -You have to at least TEST the script for 15 minutes on an account.

    Now...

    POST YOUR IDEAS !
    If you approve post why.
    If you don't, don't post !

    Just kidding, post the reason why you don't like the idea.

    Thanks, hope you like it

    I really want this to happen... would be sooo exciting oooooohhhhhh yeah =).

    EDIT :
    Thanks to Rasta Magician, this has been realised.
    Thanks alot Rasta, you're the first one to do something about this .

    It doesn't even matter, hounestly. In the real competitions I always get beaten by Devs and Admins or really good scripters. SRL Competition section is in the public section if it was to be members, we could just have moved it

    This is a very good idea, as I know it is VERY hard to compete against such good people. I believe this should be looked into. You have my vote

    Yes but this would make at least some JR Members happy ? or am i totly wrong ? xD

    No its just that some of us at least want to have a CHANCE of beating others at scripting. Which is almost TOTALLY impossible in the normal competitions.

    NOTE : I am childish and hate to loose, well not hate but lets say : I prefer to win XD.

    EDIT : Thanks for the good comment Sherman =) Hope i get some more supporters

    Yeah I now agree, maybe there should be a competition for every rank SRL Junior +, so we dont always get pwned by Nielsie, The Claw and Raymond e.t.c..

    This is a good idea. Maybe we filter out autotalkers? I don't know it needs refining but a good core idea.

    Yeah a SRL Member could be a Judge, if he's neutral, of course.

    Well Autotalkers are kind of "Hello World" Scripts...
    Not hard to do one...

    What you want to get for one of these competitions is something that stands out between the others.

    May it be more original, more effective, safer... Well you get me

    I think this should be...
    But all ppl who spammed to JR Membs will post crap scripts which won't even compile and we need someone to test that. Thats a BIG problem :/

    And yeah could be good if we had a comp for each JR Memb + rank so that its a little bit more fair...

    What i've read in competitions, its often admins, devs, mods who win :/

    good idea ^_^

    i'd be happy to judge if you're looking for judges (i'll be a SRL member in a few days (if a mod would ever approve my app...I already have enough votes...))

    UnOfficial shouldn't be bad but you should create standrads, like you need to know basic function or something..

    -radial walk
    -symbols on minimap
    -Inventory.scar <- how to use.
    -Failsafes (LOOOOL R1CH4 FTW!!!)
    -some else i guess ?

    I'd participate. I'm a bit rusty on my script making, and wouldn't mind something to get it back in shape like a competition. Always did like competitions :P.

    Not to mention this would get people motivated and try to learn from their mistakes. Good practice, Fun, and more importantly- to get a little respect .

    You got my vote

    I never said this one IS GOING TO HAPPEN !!!!

    Simply :

    I think this is a good idea and, if I get alot of supporters (40 ?) then I'll make an UnOfficial JR Members only competition. but first, i need to find a judge and some more supporterz ! :O

    I know... Official competitions are dead (due to Starblaster100's quit :/ still don't know why he tried to make chaos on forums....) so the chances of this getting real are a little lower Maybe someone else can drive the Competitionzzz ?

    <- rolleyes ftw ?

    I totally agree, this could be a motivation for those who want to stay on the forum, but just don't want to learn radial walking to become a SRL member (me) lol.

    This sounds great, I think it would be awesome, because the competitions could specialise in just the things that junior members need to learn to become SRL members.
