(can be unpinned) CEO Lab Story Scenarios Contest (250 Contribution total prize) OVER (can be unpinned)
Well, we have the unit custom game maker... but we can also input custom moves, cant we...
What good is a replay if you play the game normally!? WHAT GOOD IS IT!!!?!
This contest is a challenge for who can make the best story scenario... you can use forced moves... You dont need to arrange times with people because of how its structured
HOW TO: Forced moves are a bit hard, you need to add sets of 2 numbers to the end of a replay string,
0 is A8 1 is B8 2 is C8... etc Its an odd thing to do.
You can force an ability on an empty square. If you do something like "16 0" the unit on square 16 (A6) will use something on square 0 (A8) if it has no assigned ability, it will move or attack, if it has an ability it will try its best to use that ability... sometimes it will just move or attack if its a strange ability.
Here is an example of me just attacking things with a haunted armor:

The numbers at the end, correspond to the moves it makes. "56,49" is causing the haunted armor to move from 56 to 49. Custom moves like that can add a lot to a scene, or allow a normally incapable unit to travel.
What exactly IS this contest about?
You need to make a scene of no more than 100 moves, (less is completely fine but the upper limit is 100)
Your scene needs to be a re-creation of something
Example:
My haunted armor scene is a re-creation of the undertale genocide route...
Rules:
Pieces can move/attack anywhere, you dont need to use their own squares, you can if you wish.
(If you want no custom moves in yours you can do this in the army-test arena and export the replay)
you can use this: http://igniam.xyz/tools/ceo-scenario-tool.html as a starting setup for your scenario.
Use of abilities other than attack is great and makes your scene more interesting. (but it is not required)
Do not submit a normal win/challenge completion. This is for re-creations of stuff, not an I won hehe scenario.
A re-created story has to exist in your submission, if its not obvious, tell us what it is so there isnt just a random frog going around in circles when its actually an advanced plot we aren't seeing.

The Grandest Design
A completely accurate 1:1 representation of The Grand Wizard++ (TheGrandestine) making ridiculous nuanced designs and prancing around about it! Using his Beacon, he scrounges up ideas from the lab and tests them. But the Beacon will not forget his past...
Recommended speed: 6, until NULL happens. Then switch it to 10. You'll know what I mean.

I also made a video
if(when) this replay gets outdated by changes. In the video description is also an explanation about the story/memes.I thought this was pretty cool, so I decided to give a submission.

I recommend watching it on 8-9 speed to make it feel closer to the intended scene.
Tutorial for creating your own submission
Also, because the method of creating these might be a little unclear to people who don't know much about computer science... I decided to share my cheat sheet I used while inputting all the moves and explain the method in more detail than Adam. Because of reasons, I made it into its own thread. I did turn out a little long for a reply anyway:
Tutorial for creating submissions (Link)
I have never done anything like this but I thought this was really cool so I gave it a shot.

The Greeds are the judges who offer swift punishment to the loser if that is not clear.
Edit: My forum name is still waiting to be put in. If it doesn't show up after being put in, my name on kong is UltraCraft0704.
The 300 (The fall of Sparta)

-not main_gi
"last" place? Currently the RP will change based on how many people enter the contest.
@main-gi
Hey ChallengeTheGods, cool to see you here as well! I saw your post about the game about a cool gameplay scenario. How are you enjoying the new update? I love the new Hydromancer and Pyromancer changes. They do a lot to make it more competitively viable. In fact, I almost fear they are overpowered! What new combos have you discovered recently?
Very cool contest! ^_^
I have increased your SBI level, and will be pinning this to the top if it looks buried after a few days.
Everyone here can expect some participation rewards for making a decent effort to win this custom lab story contest.
If it's not already possible, I'd like to recommend changing one of the replay input values to 'starting replay speed' so for things like this you could set the speed for a viewer automatically.
Nice idea, and your submission serves as a good example of why that might be useful. There are a lot of placeholder values frontloaded into the replay codes for things like this, so it can be done. I'm slightly concerned the code will become a shuffled disaster after all the placeholders have been used, but gotta start somewhere and this seems broad enough to warrant using one.
