Signup:
So, how do I signup?! Simple! Email admin@tremcentral.com with your nickname and any forms of contact (AIM/MSN/IRC/YAHOO/ICQ/Alternate Emails). You MUST email this address in order to enter – no shortcuts! (IE, PMing me >.>). If you are working in a group, email the group name plus the nicknames of all the players that helped make the map. Must signup before June 19th.
Due Dates:
You are required to send us portions of your map as you go along. This is to prevent cheating. You must email us your unfinished map on each of the due dates. Remember, your map is never truly done!
