Shields?
Shields is a bad theme.
Shields are lumps of metal.
Shields are not open for any kind of modification. At all. Well, maybe some, but everything's been thought of. There is NO SKILL REQUIRED HERE.
Which is why I'm not in. Buhbye

Shields? I was expecting something better from you, Zalo.

But I don't like to flee from a challenge, so count me in. Unlike what most people think, shields allow some really impressive modifications.

Nope no skills needed, just a super mind-breaking brainstorm that will probably fry my brain when I actually find what I'll do.

@Areku: Like what?
@deathbringer: wut.

If there is no skill required, I dare you to win.

Also, the applications for Shields + Lua are limitless.

Like, a simple one is, when someone hits your shield, you gain 1 health.
Or a Pair or portal shields that teleport bullets.
Or a Black hole shield that sucks everything into it's depths.
Or a shield that reverses a bullets velocity when it hits it, and bounces it back toward the enemy.
Or a shield that can block all kinds of things, even speeding rockets.

Those are just a few of the ideas that, according to Flammablezombie, are already thought of.

Shield with a portal stuck to it, basically just a teleporter.
Black hole has been made many times.
Bullet deflection shield is ALREADY MADE.
You can make a shield block rockets by holding it. It won't do a good job, but it will do one.
Like I said:
NO SKILL.

Then win. I don't see what the problem is.

I can't mod. That's what the problem is. I can make a mod, but I will misspell something, and then my crappy mac will prevent me from finding it and fixing it. I know that sounds like a cowardly excuse, but that's what happened to my last contest entry.

The glove has been thrown down.

I'm not entirely sure this is a good theme idea, as it requires heavy Lua use to make anything that people will ooh and aah over, thus handicapping about 3/4 of our modding populace. Ah well, we'll see what happens.

See, that's the problem. You set this up so you only have about 5 competitors. I can argue, and be convincing while I'm at it, that you rigged this contest in your favor.

This will be fun.

I already have mine made. Took like 5 minutes. Now to start working on the Lua...

I can't enter the contest.

He can't enter the competition durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

WTF?
I never saw that in the rules.

It was the same way with the last contest, too.
