Hey folks, Zal here.
I have this crazy idea, in the dictionary sense.

Post the most creative themed folder you can possibly create. Not in theory; you must really have the chips.

Now, you must list the pros, cons,
and the basics, which are:


Defense--This is what you will use to protect yourself, be it a recovery chips, or shutting out damage totally.

Basis/Theme--This is a folders main method(s) of dealing damage, such as a PA or chip combo.

Fluidity--This is not the same as speed. Fluidity is how fast a folder can, well, \'get to the point\', or, execute the \'big plan\'. For example: x2 Hero folder is quite fluid, as the chips needed are mostly standard. You can have them [standard chips]in great quantity, while a folder that focuses on a mega chips well be less fluid, even if one code, because you can only have 1 of any mega chip in a folder.

Speed--This is basically how many codes your folder has; the rate at which you can select chips.

I also rate each folder out of 5.0.

When I say create a folder, it must mean legit, and it cannot be packed with super cheap chips and PAs. Originality helps too.

Hear now, hear now, these are the the hree commandments concerning folder creation!

1) A folder must not be composed of too many codes. Two at most. Three if your that desperate.

2) The folder must revolve around a set theme.

3) Do not put unneeded chips in that don\'t relate to the theme or are needed. Such as chips that have high attack power, chips that are rare, chips that are \'really cool\' ,etc... Do not waste needed folder space.

Remember, if a folder you post does not focus on a theme or strategy, you will have your mark lowered.
When we have a fair amount of contestants, I\'ll begin the contest.
Then, I\'ll judge, and then, several other judges will do the same.

You must post here if you want to join!!!! You must also apply if you want to judge a folder. The currnet judges are:

1: Myself--Zaleon
2: darkfirex
3: vacant
4: vacant
5: vacant
6: vacant
Get thinking!!!

Description
-----------------

I had been thinking for some time, and this is what I came up with: a folder that would use the hardly used Yo-Yo3. The damage isn\'t horrible for one chip-180=60x3. Now, rapidly using Yo-Yo3\'s at the full damage potential (three squares away for max damage), you got an enemy who is stunned while being barraged by this damage. 180+180+180+180=720 ! However, SprArmor equiped navis don\'t flinch, so that\'s why there\'s some ZapRing3s; to \'elec stun\' them. IceStge will double that damage. While the oppenent is stunned, you whip out the ol\' FullCust. After using about 5 chips per Custom Screen, you should get FolderBak soon. Yes, use it. You\'ll have more Yo-Yo-stunning fun. It\'s a devestating combo. Also, try this: place a Sensor3 and hit your oppenent with it-then use a ZapRing3 or Yo-Yo3 to keep them stunned, so the Sensor3 will hit AGAIN. Don\'t forget about the bonus in damage Elec attacks receive on ice! Repeat until the Sensor3 disappears. Magnum2s are for cornering your foe to one line.

FINAL COMMENT:
Be warned, if you don\'t have exact timing, accuracy, and versatility, this folder could easily be your downfall. Try if you dare, as it\'s a tad risky. I enjoyed testing this folder.

I can\'t post here. Personally, I don\'t see why a good folder can\'t have so many P.A.s and monster chips. I mean, if the persons earned them, it\'s not like he\'s doing anything cheap by using them. Many battlers don\'t need complex strategies. I barely use any of the same codes, and I get along fine.

Sorry, but I can\'t quite agree with your criteria. Without a way to test each folder, it is not a legitimate contest...:(

Your topic is narrowminded. If you master many chips, rather than just themes, sometimes it can be fun to show off your \"really cool\" types. Single codes can be usesful, but some of us can win just fine without them. Posting an \"Ultimate Folder Contest\", and including themes and monocode folders as \"Golden Rules\" insults many good netbattlers.

Well, I\'m sorry if I offended you, Heatman.EXE

Apology accepted.
Ah, who am I kiddin\'? My fault for being grouchy. Personal problems. :cool:

Who wins the contest?

Ok, so this is my folder in EXE4 Red Sun.

Soul Sword
Sword Sx4
Wide Sword Sx2
Long Sword Sx2
Wide Blade Sx2
Long Blade Sx2
Area Steal Sx2
Area Steal *x2
Air Shot *x3
Recover 50 *x3
Invis *x2
Thunder 1 *x2
Repair *
Vulcan *x2
Quick Gauge Q(preset)

The main strategy is to execute the 4 possible Dreamsword. It uses Wind Soul to pull the enemy to the front line, raising accuracy. Roll Soul to prevent the enemy from using chips if possible. Search Soul to target the enemy, raising accuracy. And Thunder Soul to paralyze the enemy, raising accuracy. Area Steals to prevent the enemy from moving much. A repair chip just in case. And a Quickgage for speed. Vulcan chip is just a filler. The other chips are to summon the corresponding souls.

I asked who wins the contest.

Patience my friend. I\'ll take, say... three more entries.

Ah yes, I am truly sorry, Shin_Zero, but I cannot accept you\'re folder. It\'s not that you\'re folder isn\'t good, as I honestly think you\'ve put much effort into it; I like what I see. The reason I cannot accept it is that it is a BN 4 folder, and many of us have yet to play it, save ROM users, or the Japanese version. I, myself, fit into said category. Thusly, if I were to judge your folder, or anyone else who has not played BN4, then it would be unfair to you. I am truly, very sorry.

For future reference, BN 3 folders are preferable.
