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.

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"

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.
