You came here acting like you were going to win this from the start saying "Good luck to you all. (But I really want those circuit points. :P)" but then your judgment got clouded resulting in your only submission getting disqualified, learn from this.

Traveling Nomads - Temporary Settlement
- Not a multicolor transformation
Argh, it has a really nice and elegant mechanic that really fits the theme of the card, but sadly you forgot that if it is colorless it can't be multicolored, you're out

@pstmdrn
Forest Falls - Flooded Forest
- Not a multicolor transformation
Dang, your mechanics are really nice but you forgot that both cards are the same color, so you are out, they really have potential for a cycle though
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The challlenge posting says that you may submit any number of entries if they are new (which all 5 of mine are)...is this not the case?
Ah I hadn’t seen that my bad
YES!
Sorry about that, I am not used to crediting the artist, and it completely slipped my mind. Though I do wish you'd included that you wanted us in particular to credit the artist. Or at least that it was grounds for DQ! Also, sorry about that first one. I completely forgot it had to change colors LOL.
Actually crediting the artwork is listed as cardsmith etiquette, incase you didn't notice you could have put the name of the site in the credit
Okay, so crediting the artist is a normal part of these contests. Sorry, this is one of my first and I'm not super familar with the normal procedure.
I would second what's been said above about being clearer around the requirements. For example, I took the challenge to mean that each side had to be a different colour and so I figured colourless would be okay since each side would be a different colour.
In fact, @bnew07 specifically asked you whether colourless cards would be allowed and you never responded. I figured if there would have been a problem, you would have said so. I noticed other people submitting colourless entries and you never posted anything saying that they didn't fit this challenge so, again, I assumed it would be okay. So it's a bit disappointing to see my entry (and others with colourless entries) disqualified when a simple response could have helped clarify everything.
In future, please respond to requests for clarification instead of just DQ'ing people. That way, everyone's clear on what the requirements are.
1st Place - @bnew07
Congratulations! Due to you making many solid entries, you secured your spot in 1st Place!
You win the 5 faves of your choice, 1 Circuit Point, and the TROPHY FAVORITE, please pm me the cards you want me to favorite.
2nd Place - @Tomigon
Although I really liked your cards, bnew simply beat you out by putting more entries in, regardless you won 2nd Place!
You win the 4 faves of your choice, and the 3/4 Circuit Point, pm me what cards you want me to favorite.
3rd Place - @TenebrisNemo
While you got beat out by the top two, your entries were still strong enough to net you 3rd Place!
You win the 3 faves of your choice, and the 1/2 Circuit Point, pm me what cards you want me to favorite.
HMs: There are 3!
@sanjaya666
@Corwinnn
@Animist
While you guys didn't get in the top 3, you all still get the 1/4 Circuit Point
I wasn't very active on the site during this contest, but I assumed from the original contest outline that different colored sides had to contain at least one color (not be merely colorless) and I thought that transforming to colorless wouldn't be allowed. In other words, I didn't feel the need for clarification personally, but I second the other smiths suggestions that you should attempt to be overly clear and always respond to contest rule questions.
Although I may have messed up on my part with the whole not a multicolor transformation thing, I honestly thought you guys would catch on that it was supposed to be multicolor, sorry in advance
Thanks for the contest!
One more advice for your future contest: If you are going to judge a contest by each participant's overall works and not by single card, you should let us know in the beginning.
1) In your list of DQ'ed cards, why isn't bnew07's Wayward Geist/Bottled Essence or DragonsApprentice's Titanic Remains/Adranak the Persistant on the list of cards? (@bnew07 @DragonsApprentice this is not meant to be a rip at your card designs; I love the flavor behind both of those cards, as well as their functionality)
2) I also understood "Multicolored Transformations" to not include colorless, but I will point out that counting color identity but not color is a bit confusing, because artifacts with colored abilities are still colorless, and that is a clarification that would have been good to know.
Congrats to the @Winners and @Mentionables!
Circuit Points have been updated.
Thanks to @EnvyReaper for hosting this fun contest. Next time we'll be sure to have a more "Rules nailed down" contest as a Circuit Challenge.
Also oops, didn't realize I still left in Adranak
@Tomigon @RayearthIX actually I didn't judge by number of entries, instead I took the pros and cons and put them as a score, you got beat out by bnew because they simply had more entries thus more score
sorry about the debacle about the whole colorless thing, though I still stand by disqualifying people who didn't go and credit the artwork, come on people this is basic etiquette
Also, that was @Tomigon and @RayearthIX's point: that if they had put in more entries they might have done better, which is judging by number of entries (it's not only by entries, but the number of entries still matters).
I'm sorry if I came off unfriendly in this; I'm really just seconding thoughts on making sure the rules are clear in advance.
