Cutstuff Message Board

With Mike's permission, time to show some love for CTF with your chance in getting new CTF Maps into MM8BDM.
One grand prize winner gets a Cutstuff Architect

• There must be at least 3 paths to the flag. I don't mean to the flag room itself, but in the center leading to the bases. I will however allow for 2 larger paths as well. Give me 1 or give me 5+ and I'll be saying no.

About Voting: Contestants and the Public may vote for a total of 7 maps.

1 grand prize winner.
6 additional maps that you wish to see in MM8BDM. (you have to pick 6, no buts)
If you do not specify which map you want as the grand prize winner, the first listed map will be considered.

• You must vote using the level codes. CTFC##
• Contestants cannot vote for their own map.
• I will only be accepting votes from players I acknowledge as being part of the community. In other words, if you are a recently registered account with little to no posts, I will most likely delete the pm.

The Choices


REMEMBER: For the maps to be fully accepted into MM8BDM, the creator will have to make any changes requested by any one of the judges to ensure it is "mm8bdm core material" and we do reserve full right to deny any map.

Happy Voting. I'm looking forward to my inbox being spammed.

Additional Notes:
Judge Voting works as follows. Myself, Roc's Creation and King Yamato can only vote on 4 maps.
Our votes for the grand prize winner is worth 3 points.
Our votes for maps getting in is worth 1/3(rounded up) of the total amount of voters.


Now I am pleased to announce that the winner of contest is...


Neat! That's just for the grand prize winner. What were the popular choices for maps getting in? Well just click the spoiler to find out!



IMPORTANT! READ THIS
We reserve full right to accept or deny any maps. If you want your map to be accepted into MM8BDM, you must be a part of this mapping competition. Anyone trying to offer maps without being a part of it will be instantly denied. Furthermore, if we ask for any fixes or tweaks, they must be done or otherwise the maps are not getting in.

I guess I'll sign up. If I win, I get one or two shiny medals and good mapping experience, and if not, I can get info on how to improve and make better maps in the future.

Plus that Concrete Man medal looks totally awesome

Signing up

Woo, Mapping Compo!

Sign me up.

Woo, sign me up too, please.

Question: If they follow a similar theme of another CTF map, will it be rejected?

Question: Are you allowed to team up with someone?

(not interested in joining but...)
This wasn't addressed in the rules:
Are 4-Team CTF Maps Ok?

No, but I would prefer uniqueness.


You can get all the help you want, but only one person who submitted the map can earn the medals



Ah yes, thank you for reminding me. This is purely 2-teamed CTF maps. At this time, MM8BDM will not be including 4-team CTF maps.

That might complicate things when there are two major contributors submitting the map. Anyway, I'm signing up for now, but I may drop out if I don't have an idea and Smash doesn't want to team up.
