Might I suggest adding my next question to the FAQ?
What are the rules for an HOV contest?
The first rule of HoV is that you don't talk about HoV.
...
...actually, I post the rules to the official HoVs at the time of their start. The reason why I started doing 'official vrpg.com hovs' was my general dissastisfaction with the rules of some previous contests, etc.
Also, I figured all good contests need prizes. Haven't decided on the prize for this one yet.

Your reference was clever, Kildorf. I was just jealous that I didn't think of it first.
I agree with Grue, in that official HoVs are much better than third-party HoVs. Its like Nintendo. They have kick ass first party games, but their third party support sucks. Well, except for the part with games... ....
I think if we are allowed to use the battle system WE made earlier, thats fine. Just not someone else's battle system. But I can't code (good), so what do I know?

I'd be careful if I were you, Troupe. Enough encouragement and I might start making obscure literary references that I try to pass off as clever jokes (or puzzles) more often.
Also, I forgot to mention earlier; I liked the judging system used in the first compo a great deal. Having the explicit breakdown of where each judge was coming from, and written explanations, was a huge help and a joy to read. ^_^

Oh my, I've already had about all the puns I can handle in this thread. No more!
That judging system was the rawks, too. In fact, I really liked that system. And the results were exactly what I would have given. So yeah, good system.

Doh! This'll teach me for not reading the main page!
I'm all for an HoV, more used to v3 than I was last time round, and might actually have some time. Not to mention the fact I have a head start with a battle system - still lots to do on it though...

My only suggestion for HoV is to wait till the next build.
I know its late, but I'm working on it RIGHT NOW. I've also been very busy. Also, I blame zeromus.

I might be able to enter this time, especially if the timing's right (Right around Jun. 8 would be perfect). My opinions:
Double Contest: That is an excellent idea, and might get me motivated to code one hell of a BS for the first contest (yes, I'm up to the task, I just don't get good and motivated very often).
Judging: I liked the free-form, explanation-required judging scheme - MUCH better than TomT64's fixed system (I remember those compos - not all of the games fit into the system).
RPGs only: That's cool, since VERGE is aimed more at RPGs than anything else. I'd be careful doing this too often, tho. I've seen too many good non-RPGs to not want to see more of them.

I might enter, since this friday I just so happen to be going back down to virginia (where I have full-time computer access), but I might not as well, since I probably will spend the time in VA with my buddies, and not sitting in front of a computer screen for hours.

No, please reed don't enter. I don't want to be crushed like I was by your entry in the last compo! BALLS OF STEEL!!!

[reed] should make a sequel to Balls of Steel. Call it Testicles of Gold.

Testicles of Titanium works better. It has that nice alliterative quality that gold lacks.

Also, Titanium is strong, whilst gold, while pretty and expensive, is soft.

Not in video games, though. Gold Swords are usually better than Steel Swords!

Video Games are dumb sometimes.
I specifically saved up a ton of gold in FF4 to buy a Silver sword in Silveria this one time, so I could use it in Cave Magnes... because Silver isn't magnetic, you see.
...
...either Silver in Final Fantasy is magnetic, or those bicthes in Silveria gave me a 'silver sword' made of Nickel.

If I had a nickel for every time I fell for that trick, I could melt them down and forge my own "silver" sword.
