That's not really a contradiction. That's like when the witness calls Mr. Coope "Mr. Poop" because they're mad at him. You don't go and present Coope's profile at that point.

:holdit:
There's still one point left. Namely the fact that this is the description of the comp theme:
clcman wrote:The Ultimate Turnabout: Make a case that fits ALL 36 of the following themes in some form or another:
But what if this isn't the Ultimate Turnabout and lacks one thing? That's right! Look at prompt number 11:

11. Love is in the Air (A case featuring a love story or romance in some way)

And now at the prompt underneath it:

11. An Arkham Night (A case featuring atleast one character who is crazy or madness/insanity as a theme)

There are 2 prompts 11! Which means there are 37 prompts to make a trial about! The description doesn't fit this, so it's technically not the "Ultimate" Turnabout!
So many plottwists...
:shock: T-T-THAT'S IMPOSSIBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEE!!!!!!! :gray:

...

Oh, well. *Ultimate Turnabout Requirements Actualized*


(But seriously? Enigma and Zeel accidentally had 37 prompts the entire time? (Not counting Prompt 0, of course) That is INDEED quite a twist.)

Congratulations Calvinball! Haven't seen your trial yet, but I will :).
Spoiler : Regarding the trial :
I remember when I said that I didn't laugh as much in a very long time while watching the stream. Well, this trial thingy takes that to a whole other level. You guys just HAD to bring Pearles back, didn't you :cute:
Also, I WANTED to not join next comp to polish up Payphone, but I just got this translated message from Rinkk:
Spoiler : :
[19:27:22] Rinkkjs: OH WE'LL DO THE NEXT ONE
[19:27:24] Rinkkjs: WHEN IS IT?!

[19:27:28] Rinkkjs: SIGN US UP
[19:27:35] Rinkkjs: NOW RIKSKING DO IT NOOOW!
So I guess I don't have much of a choice there :XD:
Nah I'm kidding, while I do want to polish up Payphone, I'd also like to join next comp aswell.

Also: Thanks enigma and Zeel1. I had a blast entering!
And I hope I can collab with someone here at some point^^

So for some reason this isn't working for me? I just get a black screen, and I think I'm supposed to wait, but I've been waiting for a long while now. And yes, I tried to make sure not to switch tabs. I tried it on Chrome and Firefox too. I just get nothing. Anyone have any idea what's wrong? I've played a V6 trial before, so this confuses me.

Edit: It worked when I tried a couple of hours later. Nevermind that then.

OH MY GOSH.

DID I JUST WIN?

NO, THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT. I MEAN, THIS WAS MY FIRST TRIAL. I MEAN, LIKE, THERE'S CLCMAN! HE'S EXPERIENCED! HE'S LIKE, MADE STUFF BEFORE! AND REECER! HIS TRIAL HAS AN INSTANT COFFEE PUN! AND RIKSKING AND RINKKJS, THEY'VE GOT CHARLEY!

I WON?! ..... I WON!

Whoa, okay, calming down, deeeeeep breathes...

*inhaleexhale*

Wow. This is just... wow. When I first entered, I did not expect this to happen. Winning my very first competition is just such an honor, I don't know what to say. It was a blast to make the trial and I can't describe how happy I felt when you guys played it in the stream and enjoyed it. I'm really glad I could add to this awesome community!

Uh... this means I'm hosting the next competition, yeah? Okay... lemme check my calender and I'll let you know what the plan is.

I mean, just... wow. This is incredible. Thank you so much for hosting the competition! And a TON of thanks to all my beta-testers, they're the ones that really helped make this trial as good as it is now!

Just... THANK YOU! WOW! I AM WAY MORE EXCITED THAN I NEED TO BE, AND I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THAT!

:objection:
You are far LESS excited than you should be! GET MORE EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!
But seriously, good job. It's not easy to enter your first comp, make your first trial or, most importantly, finish your first trial FOR A COMPETITION. Haven't actually played/watched stream of your case yet, but it sounds like it might be worth checking out.
(Strangely enough, I ALSO won my first competition with my first trial against a much more experienced trial maker with an incomplete. Maybe it's something about rookies that motivates them to work harder and actually finish cases?)

...

Also, enigma and Zeel, you DO realize that you've just made "The Ultimate Turnabout" a legitimately possible theme, right? You thought that far ahead, correct?

...

I'd so do it.

I am so angered I was beat by someone else even newer than me - and that was still technically my first trial! I will convert this anger into MOTIVATION TO WIN THE NEXT COMP! Congratulations, now please give me the win on this one.

...Taken down for content. You both knew this was coming. You can re-release the trial after you clean it up.

Congratulations to calvinball.
