WINTER MAPPING CONTEST '08





THEME

Winter!


Invovle winter like things, Snow is a good plan. You could base it on a avalanche or winter themed rpg, even a snowball fight. Try to keep it involving aspects of winter. Seeing as you have three months or so to make it you should have plenty of time to think of a good idea. Use you're imagination and be inspired by tundra!




DEADLINE

The Deadline is January 1st, you can start any time after October the 5th.




JUDGING
Myself will be one and I have decided to redo the calling for judges.

ORIGINALITY(10)
Originality is a important part of maps, It gets bored to play just variations of the same map over and over.

PROFESSIONALISM(10)
Like other contests, this category includes little details from weather or not you're text is bright yellow so I can't read it, to the prettynessishism of you're terrain.

FUN FACTOR!(15)
This is by the most important category. Can the map be replayed? Does it get dull after 15 minutes into the game? Is it overcomplicated to the point of not being enjoyable?

THEME(10)
The map needs to be with the theme, relatively an easy way to ensure you don't lose points. A good idea is to not make the map on the desert tileset.



PRIZE'S

1st Place will receive 300 Minerals and be able to brag about winning.
2nd Place will receive 150 Minerals and get to be annoyed about coming in second.
3rd Place will receive 75 Minerals and get congratulated for at least submitting something.

MiniMoose2707 will be funding the prizes. Thanks moose.



CONTESTANTS

The contestants list has been removed, If you want to compete simply start the map anytime after october 5th and submit it before january the 1st.


ADITIONAL INFORMATION

The map must be completely normal UMS mapping, No modding what so ever. EUDs are allowed.

You can have a SINGLE mapping partner.

You will lose points for being late on the Deadline.

You can gain additional points back by bribing me.

Moose gave me permission to host this contest, so there :P

A lot of you don't know me and I encourage you to enter anyways.

You MUST start the map from scratch and AFTER October 5th.

Don't be a douchefag and steal other peoples ideas.

Have fun with it!

Good Luck!

Maplantis' Christmas mapping "contest" last year yielded 2 maps, one of which was a joke. I don't think I'll be entering anything this year. I'd be happy to judge, though.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I think I don't have time to join the contest.
I've a big project I try to push forward (D1).

But I hope I can enjoy some cool maps next year. ^^
Guys, go for the lulz and create something...

For the sake of my own stupidity and my lack of being able to comprehend anything could you define parallel universe for me? :blush:
Would an Alternate universe fall in the to category of Parallel universes? Ex "Infested Raynor invades a Protoss controlled Tarsonis"

Quote
Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a multiverse, although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that comprise physical reality. While the terms "parallel universe" and "alternative reality" are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term "alternative reality" that implies that the reality is a variant of our own. The term "parallel universe" is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship (or lack thereof) with our own universe. A universe where the very laws of nature are different (for example, it has no relativistic limitations and the speed of light can be exceeded) would in general count as a parallel universe but not an alternative reality.

The theme is abitrary and hard. If you want more entries, you need a wider theme that's easier to make a map for, or no theme at all.
