Since the last mapping contest was...quite a while ago, I think we should have another one!
Rules: You must create a 4 Team CTF Map based on an original MM1 Robot Master of your choice.
Textures should be the same as the DM stage for that Robot Master.
The music should be the RM's theme or a remix of it.
It needs to be a 4 team CTF map.
Signup via this topic. You may sign up one per Robot Master. For example, if Star Dood wanted to make a Cut Man and Guts Man stage, he could, but if Korby wanted to make two Ice Man stages, he couldn't.
When you are done, upload to Mediafire, PM me the link, and you have submitted. No maps will be released publicly. The winning map in each category will be featured in a 4CTF Map Pack!
Playtesters: I need 12 of them. These are people I feel would give good criticism to each map. All playtesters will work out a time where I can put up a server for map playtesting. After each session, all of you must give a percentage rating of the map.
If you are on this list and don't want to playtest, PM me, post in the topic, or tell me in-game.

3. angry the damned
4. Neo

If you would like to be a playtester and are not one of these people, let me know. Playtesters can submit if they want. People may veto judge choices with the exception of myself.
The deadline for submissions is March 1st, 2012! Beginners, try your luck. You may be good enough to be in the map pack! The rest of the maps will be in a consolation map pack so you can check out the submissions that didn't make it.

I wanna be one!
-
A playtester? If someone gives up their spot, then yes. Maybe you should try making a map! That'll make me more likely to pick you, just to let you know.
-
So you are starting up a mapping compo, probably without asking Mike. You also shouldn't be signing people up to be playtesters without asking them. Not everyone reads every topic in these forums. They won't know you "signed them up" with the opt out option.
-
I was going to ask them in-game.
Wait, I need CMM's permission?
Derp.
-
Not necessarily, but I know there was a mapping compo being planned.
And regardless, take the names down. You can't sign people up to be play testers without asking them first.
-
Will do, Ivory.
Leaving up two people who did ask plus me.
To FancyEddie, let me ask people I know and trust first, then I'll give you a yes or no. (No offense intended)

No custom music?
Limited textures in a CTF map?
Judges I don't trust?
Yeah, I'm gonna sit out this one.

yea, I'll second that vote
KS isn't exactly a reliable source for a mapping judge, as his idea for a map is a square

Thirding it. I'm not exactly a fan of KS's maps, either

I really think you should let us use custom music, just as long as it fits the stage theme. Just sayin'

Nah, the bigger problem is the limited texture options in a CTF map. Specifically, no custom textures.
How the hell are we supposed to know which base we're in?
-
Rule changes: music doesn't matter
Textures may only be changed so you know which base you're at.
Due to all the vetos, ks will not judge.
-
I'l be happy to judge! Although time zones might be a problem....
-
Well, what's your timezone? I'll put you down.
-
GMT. Usually +6 hours for American people
-
Nah, we'd just have to go a bit earlier (noonish)
Obviously, this means not on school days.

Fourthing. If that's even a word.
How about I just make a mapping compo instead? That way everyone can do work on Llama's BN expansion.

I shoulda said this earlier, but:
The playtesters' role is really more to allow me to actually play the maps. I will choose two judges from the eleven to actually count. If another playtester has a drastically different rating, then I ask them why. If it's an invalid reason, then I just ignore their rating.

Suddenly I trust the integrity of this competition even less.

/me sighs, gives up, and says that the topic may be locked unless someone says otherwise.

Lol u suck at hosting mapping contests.
Next time, make sure your rules are not retarded. Limited texture usage in a 4 Team CTF map? What the fuck? What ever map comes from that will look like shit.
Also, don't randomly pick out random people who don't know what the fuck is going on. Ask them first.
Final one, make sure you actually know what a good map is before you host a mapping contest.
-
^^^
Oh yeah, I'm never gonna try to host a map contest again, especially if this is the kind of response I get.
-
Send a PM to CutmanMike with your idea of a 4-Way CTF Map Contest! It's a really great idea
Remember that he can award the winner a badge...
-
Not to mention that we'll actually get 4-Team CTF maps in the game.
