While getting bored of working on the same game (FOOOOOOOOOOREVER) I read through the XAS vs Blizz ABS thread.
While it's pretty humorous seeing the extremities that one would go to defend an ABS.. it does serve a point. Since I've used the majority of ABS's on RMXP I know my way around each one of them. So to settle the argument once and for all.. I will make a twenty minute example demo with each one of the ABS systems I've installed on my comp.

On top of giving me experience to help me in my game making this will exonerate any bias that lingers towards ABS's.
As somoene that used almost every ABS out there I've found that BLIZZABS is one of the most compatible and simplistic public ABS's in existence.
The self imposed Rules for myself?
I have a week and three days to complete 8 acceptable demos which are similar however different.
I can not use any ideas that I've come up with in the past.
The demos must be fun and challenging
RTP Heroes are not allowed
RTP Tilesets are mandatory
I am not allowed to use any Add ons that can't be accomplished by eventing

The victor of this contest will have this contest as a reference.
Since I'm basically competing against myself I can't show bias towards one ABS which ensures that it'll be a fair competition.
