I just made the donations for the first two winners, so you should be seeing your shiny new usernames in a little while. Additionally, you two have yet to tell me what you want to be on the userbars I promised to design.
To the rest of you: I hope you guys had fun, even if you may not have won. It certainly looked like some of the classes were fun to design. Anyway, have a great day, and happy future contests!

13th place? I'm alright with that. I realize my idea was kind of confusing and would be hard to program. After all, I'm not even sure myself how I wanted it to work. And, I didn't enter with the intention of winning. It was just for fun.
To be honest, I'm slightly disappointed that first place was a sword-wielding melee class. HOWEVER, it's a very well thought out class and one of the most interesting sword-wielding melee classes I've seen. I wish RPG designers would put that much thought into designing their sword-wielding melee classes. The thing is, with RPG Maker XP, if I recall correctly, isn't it difficult to make skills do damage equal to your basic attack? The Ensiferum has several abilities that are based on the exact damage of a basic attack, so it is kind of important. I think it's easy to do with VX however. Just something I thought I'd mention. I'm not that good with all those damage algorithms so I may be completely wrong!
I agree it would be quite interesting to have an RPG with only these classes! I wonder, if someone here wanted to do this, would they need permission from the original creators? I mean if you wanted to give the class the EXACT same name and abilities as listed in this topic! Would that be alright, or not?

Actually, it is pretty simple to make a class do damage equal to base attack, if you know how to find basic attack in the scripts. Also, a game with every class here would be up to the creators, as these classes are their intellectual property. If anyone wants to use a class here, they'll have to contact the person who posted the class.
Oh shit, I just saw this after avoiding the forums for the past 2 months. Thank god Glitchfinder started this again.
Lemme read up and see the entries. I'll edit this post with my favorites (im no judge, but w/e)
Edit:
I firstoff have to give mad props Marcus for (finally) perfecting the suggested Rumor spreading class. I think someone has suggested that idea every single Class Contest, so that it finally looks, or even sounds good as an idea definitely deserves some credit.
Another one that caught my eye was ~R~s suggestion of a hobo, in which he did a pretty rad job of making a homeless deadbeat sound like a 'credit to the team'.
Dadevsters Corrupt physicist also wins an award for being fucked enough to catch my attention. Was anyone else reminded of TF2s Medic?
Another one of note is Mikee, whose Reader Description reminds me of something from a cross between your blind sister from Fable and that creature from Pans Labrynthe. You know which one.
Goldenryu9292 also recieves special recognition for giving a good reason for using sithjesters Sailor Moon spritesheet in their games. Epic win. Now we just have to wait for a furry class...
Keegzillas DJ also gave a pretty cool idea, of a class who does more or less damage, or takes more or less damage based on music being played in the characters Headphones. Lets take that a step further and make them do different damage based on the moment in the battle background music being played. Fuck yeah!
Floriographist by sniper: by far the most forgettable name ever. Try 'Florist', yo. Other then that, this is a pretty rad class idea.
All in all, great turnout this year! Now lets get this contest sponsored by the administration. (I think it'll happen soon, btw)

Thanks for all the great comments! The weird part is that I've made the donations, so they should have gone through... (If only you could have come back earlier! Then I could have had another judge...)

I'm actually doing quite a bit of this in my current project, thanks to a fair amount of help from this community. I can send the script your way if you want.
Mad props to everyone in the contest, placeholders or otherwise, and Glitch and Xilef for making it happen. It was cool.
Ah... forgive me, I'm new to this forum and perhaps to this style of forum in general. What does a $20 sponsorship entail? It's not actually $20 in electronic mail or what-not, right? I assume userbar refers to a simple graphic bar with text at the bottom of one's posts, similar to what Xilef has?
Thanks,

Ahh.. forgive me, but I misspoke. It was actually $30, and, as soon as the Admin that is supposed to handle it finally does, it gives you an orange username and some additional priveledges, like an infinite PM box. The userbar is that little bar under your avatar. Mine currently says "Sponsor". The fact that is was a $30 sponsorship also gives you the priveledge to ask for a private subforum. (Those little boards at the bottom of the site, most of which require a password to access)
(I'm not feeling up to badgering Killface at the moment, but feel free to send a PM his way if you want to ask about the sponsorship...)
