July X XXXX:
Popularity seems to be thriving in Gensokyo once again. Though about 30 people, myself included, seem to be in this craze now. We'll just see how well these other 29 do against me... A list of participants will be including in this edition of Bunbunmaru News!
Bunbunmaru's One and Only,

July X XXXX:
Wow! Gensokyo is in a fever-pitch, I've never seen so many so many people fighting for glory! Me? Nah, I really don't feel like it... Even though my amazing camera skills would totally wow the crowds, but I'll keep you all in touch with all things in this popularity war!
Your Modern Tengu,
~Hatate Himekaidou
Yup! It's that time again! Contest time! As my lovely assistant Aya Shameimaru of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper has stated, you get to chose from 30 characters. The brings the question, what does that have to do with popularity... Well those 30 character are the top 30 characters in the 2015 popularity poll listen
here With further ado, let's get into the rules.
RULES:
- All main bosses must be within the top thirty of the popularity polls, no exceptions. *1
- The main boss fight must be at least 3 spells long and no longer than 6. *2
- Everyone in the group must do one boss, mid or main. *3
- The entry must be in version PH3 or other non-dnh engines capable of running across multiple OS's *4
*1 Midbosses can be anyone.
*2 Midboss not included, but try to keep that 1-2 spells long
*3 You can collaborate with other! But each person has to contribute to the script a fair amount. Stage would also be included in this.
*4 This is a hope to make people attempt to get into PH3, or extend out newer scripts in this engine, and seeing .12m is nearly dead at this point, this restriction doesn't seem too unreasonable. Also because one of out judges is a Mac user and for some reason .12m does not work out for him, so there's that. This is tentative, if we can find someone who can run .12m, .12m will for sure be an option to script in.
TIPS:
- Patterns are number one! But be sure to balance it out with graphics and music.
- Try to keep the gameplay reasonable!
- Keep patterns and spell names true to the boss, you don't Ran shooting Reisen's pattern now do you?

DEADLINE: JULY 31st Countdown ClockAlso looking for potential judges. Preferably with a Windows Operating System(I would, but I wanna participate, but if I don't feel like I'll finish it, I'll judge then.)
Current Judges(Tentative; subject to change):
TalosMistake
ExPorygon
Lunarethic
A-QWould multiple spells at once, with independent lifebars and scripts be counted as separate spells in the final count, or as one?
Yes. The better phrase here would probably be "Spell Phase," or anytime there will be spell card(s) active.
Do I/We HAVE to do a midboss/stage?
Only if you're in a group.
Will midbosses and stages be scored in the overall script?
Yes. This will be an "extra credit" per se, but it can hurt you, however.
Does the midboss have to be on the list?
nope can be any Touhou character, official or fangame.
