2015 Open Setup Design Contest - Winners!
In the interest of creating new and exciting Open Setups for the queue, I am announcing the 2015 Open Design Contest.
There will be three categories based on player size:
Micro Games (Setups with 9 or fewer players)
Normal Games (Setups with 10 to 13 players)
Large Games (Setups with 14 or more players)
You may enter each category only one time. You do not have to enter every category to participate.
Setups will be judged in the following criteria:
Balance - 50% (Must be fair for all factions)
Replay ability - 30% (Must be able to be ran multiple times without an obvious best coordination of actions)
Originality - 10%
Fun - 10%
Winner of each category will receive a copy of this book. While each category will only have one winner, I hope that this will add multiple new approved open setups in each category to the rotation. It is a great way to make your mark on the site by adding a setup that will hopefully be played for years to come
Setups will be judged by the following committee: LlamaFluff, Empking, mykonian, AngryPidgeon
The "Fun" category will be decided by a public vote to gauge interest in playing the submitted setups. Setups that a large number of people want to play will naturally score higher
Setups will be allowed to be submitted up until midnight March 22nd. You may send me revised setups as many times as you like until deadline hits.
Submitted setups must include any special rules, mod notes, and sample role PMs. If the review team is not able to understand how your setup works, that is going to cost points.
Setups must be submitted to me by: (expired on 2015-03-27 00:00:00)-

(can I put in Vengeball?)
Any setup that was created by you that has not gone through the open review process and become an approved open setup counts.-

Setups are not required to be normal. If you can make a non-normal setup that is balanced and can be replayed with ease, go for it.-

Yes. I will allow any setup that is an experimental setup to be submitted as long as you created it.
Replay ability means that if we look at your setup and there is a very clear course of actions that optimizes play for town it will lose some points. Its to more or less prevent a scenarios where its not broken, but all actions and choices (if any) should play out identically each game.
Semi-Open games are allowed.
In post 10, Aneninen wrote:Are we allowed to post ideas previously appeared in the "Open Setup Ideas"? If so, are we able to modifly them before posting?
Any idea that was suggested by you in Open Setup Ideas is allowed. You can make modifications to them before submitting.
What do you mean by "mod notes", that should be contained?
Are we allowed to use the standardized RolePMs (eg. posted by Wgeurts on the Wiki) or do we have to write our own versions?
Mod notes entail anything that is not clearly covered by any special rules or roles that you feel needs to be told to the reviewers or a mod running the game. You can include things like role resolutions here if you want to.
Yes. Roles are requested so there is absolutely no guessing about what the roles you are submitting are.-

What Emp said.
There are some setups that had "choices" that really should not have been choices. Like Hard Boiled and the tracker/vig, where if you look at both trying to break the setup and how successful town always was, tracker was clearly the best choice.-

They are getting done. I will have at least one category up for public voting tonight. We DO have to essentially review 30+ setups for balance so that will take some time, especially if there are any varying opinions between reviewers.-

The following are the setups for the Large Open competition.
Please review on a scale from 0 to 10. A setup that you rank as 10 is a setup that you would always sign up for when possible. A setup you rank as 0 is a setup you would never play.
Remember this is your opinion of what you want to play, you do not need to rate a setup based on balance, originality, or anything else along those lines. Its if you would play it.
You may vote for setups in the category you entered, but may not vote for your own setup.

There were a few very close scores, especially in the mini category where seventh place to second was about as close as most of the first to second scores.
If anyone wants their exact scores or where they finished if they were outside of top three I will provide that as well.
