We’ll be lucky to get 5,000 gold to go with that. I’m guessing just the Shocktopus. ---

> [@Venar](#): > > Shocktopus gets the guitar strings? Really? So, how about making the next community contest about submitting a self recorded sound clip for the Shocktopus spell? Should be pretty entertaining to listen to. 😵 ---

Could be fun. Not sure if it’s practical. Imagine playing sound effect at work before voting 😜. But I don’t care, i’m an evil Canadian so I can’t participate in the contests anyways. ---

I am a bit surprised because usually it’s some rule about having a minimum of french content, and the game is available in French. So maybe more about having the contest rules in French? ---

What is people thinking of Shoctopus? Are any endgame players planning to use him regulary in PvP invades? I think maybe that he could have dealt a little more damage. I also think a Stoneskin trait would make him a little more special, and a better front troop. I am not sure why people wanted Armored trait instead of Stoneskin trait at all, and is his first trait really useful? 😕 ---

I thought it was some specific law in Quebec that prevented this kind of contest. Actually, just looked it up and it looks like the rules are just so onerous that most companies don’t want to bother with compliance: > **[Why Are Sweepstakes Void in Quebec?](https://www.liveabout.com/why-are-so-many-competitions-void-in-quebec-896835)** > > Ever wonder why many sweepstakes are void in Quebec? Canadian sweepstakes law protects Quebec residents — but makes it hard for them to enter contests. ---

It’s an ok troop, but I am disappointed by the AI use of it. I figure it would be nice in Guild Defense, since you face monochrome teams. But the AI just sits on the spell forever, waiting for who knows what. And then picks the wrong color. ---

Just generally disappointed in what the community came up with, overall. Good for those that likes him and planning to use him regulary, tho. Sadly I am not one of them, thats life. Might be good to use in Guild Wars for one of the defense days. Cool new avatar btw, @Venar. ---
