One WEEK!?

[Archangel]

I've ben working on getting an ELEVATOR to look right, for a week. No speedmapping pls.

[fleash eater]

well... yea but this is supposed to be get your shit together and finish a map no matter how crappy it is... but i can change deadline i guess... hmmm one month possible?

[Evoc]

I'd be willing to enter the competition; I'm still fairly amateur, if you could even call it that...

[Kaleo]

Provided I can submit maps for FarCry, FarCry2 and Crysis, I'm in.

Otherwise; One WEEK? Less p0t plo0x.

[cactusfrog]

i vote just releace what ever map you are working on regardless if its complete or not

why would you, this website is tremulous.net and these are the tremulous forums. why would you post other maps here?

i would be happy to join, it is a bit intimidating trying to map your first map when theres all these brilliant maps out there. Not to mention the eternally harsh lava croft. So i think this is a good idea. But i agree with cactus, though i think it should be increased to 2 weeks (not too long, not too short).

Ill get a head start right now. And perhaps you should start recruiting a couple of judges?

[fleash eater]

alright well i would think of lava croft as a judge but then again, i dont want a simon judge =P. hmmmm alright im going to get this all together if you are willing to be a judge  post here within a week we will start this. and just be creative and try your best, its an amateur contest for a reason.

get more than one judge, lava would be fine, aslong as theres other judges.

[fleash eater]

oh yea i know 3-5 judges just trying to piss off lava for kicks 

[Evoc]

I think we should have 3 experiences judges, especially Lava who is uber-harsh but awesome at his criticism. And, we should have two other judges who are slightly less skilled.

OH YEAH, can I have partner for this if he is amateur at mapping like me?

Because making a decent map for these games can take one week.

Make any sort of playable map for Trem takes, at the very least, one month. That's why.

[your face]

To join you must be: amateur at mapping.

how do you find out if someone is 'amateur' or not?  and what are the motivations to do anything?

[fleash eater]

there motivations are praise publicity and sucsess of becoming better at mapping. also i can tell if there amateur by the work they've released. i think i might be a little over amateur so i might judge but i dont know.

[smurftyous]

too late to join?
 

[Hendrich]

too late to join?

Yes, its too late. 
(jk, you got smurfted)
So, are you a mapper Smurftyous? If so, it'll be useful to list you down as a submitter, or it'll be best to submit all the contestants in a list..

*Hendrich just gave a big hint to fleash eater*

[nubcake]

Ill join if you guys are still going with it?

[Evoc]

Nevermind, I am not going to have a partner.

You can tell I'm amateur by my one released map, dretchrange. (It's somewhere around here, I don't want to link to it).

I've made about 5 maps, but I've never released them.

I can't wait to get started on my map for this competition, once I know the deadlines. =D

[seeeker]

I'd like to join as well =)
is it too late? (can you put deadlines/etc?)

[fleash eater]

due to a emergency i will not be starting this till after black friday. thats when it starts. ill add the people i have seen to the list and come back to it. until then, good luck all 

[smurftyous]

whats your definitions of plagiarism is it "u can us one texture set and it can be like allready made maps like acts" because I'm think I'm going to make an acts like map with its textures and a more simple layout. would i get dq'ed for this?

[Archangel]

I've never played acts. =/ Is it good?

[mooseberry]

I'm going to make an acts like map ... and a more simple layout.

What the fuck?

[smurftyous]
