ONE HOUR MAPMAKING CONTEST

• Contest will begin in the USEast channel "Op lil-Inferno" once people show up.
  
• No signups - show up in channel Op lil-Inferno and map for 1 hour with the rest of us.
  
• Maps must be started afresh at that time.
  
• Terrain and triggers cannot be copied from another map.
  
• 1 hour maps will be attached in here at the end.
  
• Bring your lawn chairs.
  

Parameters:
Map size: Any
Tileset: Any
Genre: Any
Theme: Any
Reward: Glory, women (or men if that's your thing), praise
Judging: None (maybe)

Why?:
The reason one hour map contests are good is not to make a good map, but to bring new ideas and concepts to the table. Almost always I find myself modifying and tweaking my one hour maps to perfection after the contest is up. Plus, some maps actually turn out to be somewhat awesome and fun. SO JOIN.

I support this.

Here is what I have made: http://www.staredit.net/?file=2363
I believe it is fun, but it may be too easy or too hard. (Depending on how you start.)

I'd say Apos wins.

I dunno... Lil's PIMP map was pretty.. interesting.

WE'RE DOING THIS AGAIN, SAME CHANNEL. WE START WHEN WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE.

Will maps actually be posted this time?

EDIT:
Nevermind. They were uploaded, just not posted here.

Yes they will. I never got around to uploading the last ones. WILL YOU PARTICIPATE?

I'm at work, so no.

Besides, I'd probably just make Helen Keller RPG 3 (as I did 1 and 2 for prior contests ).

HOLD THIS AT 7 PM PST SO I CAN JOIN NIA NIA

Wait until the weekend?
[Friday / Saturday]

1 hr only?? man.... that's tough
I want in tho...

It's almost over now. I missed it. Go to op lil-inferno if you wanna play their maps though.

Pretty sure it's over by now. They're probably all playing their maps. I unfortunately had to go because my dumbass little brother had to "do homework" (he's playing WoW right now and my parents are oblivious to this fact).

An hour is generous, I used to do 30 minute contests.

payne's 10 minutes contest on the way!

I have reason to believe 1 days is the perfect balance between pressure and procrastination

Yeah I used to hold 30 minute mapping contests with a lot of friends on USWest back in the day

I think I still have some of those maps lieing around too

Mine are always too ambitious D=

Know what? There should be a "huge contest" called on the front page, with a relatively big prize, which would be called something like "SC1: Nostalgia".
It'd be a great call for all the SEN members to actually get to do a little thing. I believe a lot of the members still lurking around here never submitted even one single map.
It could turn out to be a really nice and friendly contest. :3

I'd definitely participate.

Note: The idea here really is to actually try to get everyone to submit something, even the most ridiculously crappy map ever made.
It'd be a nice little peek of mapping activity.

Oh me and my megalomutopian ideas. T_T
