22 July 2008 23:11 (UK time) A human creates the best things when he is fighting to be the best. That's why I decided to set up a contest called 'The Meteor Mapping Battle'! This a new, unique modding project! It's a hard elimination race! Every round, one of the 'mapping gladiators' will not continue, and at the end only the best mapper will survive... So tension ensured! These are the rules: - First, people should sign in to be a gladiator/soldier/whatever. Post it in this thread. If there are 10 members, the battle will begin. So don't just stand there, join! - Every round, there will be a different 'theme'. So you should be good in all areas! - When a round starts, the members will get a limited time to create their map! This time should still be decided though (But don't worry, I'll give you time enough). - Before the deadline, members should attach their map to a post. You must call this map 'ROUND[Round number here]_[Your name here].map', so for example: 'ROUND1_MRAZERTY.map'. If you do not manage to finish your map before the deadline, you MUST submit what you already got! Keep in mind it's a hard battle! Members cannot vote! Ex-members (those who got eliminated) though can. - After the deadline, when all maps are attached, everyone may cast a number of votes, that I will determine for every round, in a post, this post should include the name of the map you vote for, and optionally a comment/critic. - You may not vote for yourself! - You may not conspire in any unfair way. If this is discovered, the cheating member will politely be given a slap in the face, and he may not continue - The member with least points, will be eliminated from the contest until the winner is known. Please do not be frustrated when you are one of those, I want no real REAL fightings =P - If the contest has finished, all maps will be given a neat place in a mod created by me. (So that should make 54 maps in total!) You can now start signing in, and you can give suggestions for the time wherein maps should be created. NOTE THAT UPDATES OF THIS POST ARE STILL POSSIBLE SO CHECK FOR CHANGES REGULARLY!! Signed up members: - Mrazerty - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? - ??? This link is dead. It's only still here because, err... yknow, it's some sort of... memorial. Edited: 29 July 2008 10:52 You need to login to create posts in this thread.

22 July 2008 23:25 (UK time) Questions: 1) Do we use our own tilesets, or a tileset given to us, or do we just use Main.til? 2) Are these Head to Head maps, or Single Player maps? 3) It seems that we may need an arbitrator voter (One who is not competing in the competition) as each mapper could inherently put their vote for a person who has not received one, that way in the end, all mappers would equally have one vote each. Even if it's rare. 4) Can we make our own sprites, weapons, and units and such? I think it would be pretty cool if we made it a weekly thing. Like every map must be submitted by Friday, people vote on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, then Monday the next round's theme will be announced. *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime.

23 July 2008 16:51 (UK time) @Papercut: OK, that last one is a good idea! Everyone will get about 5 days to make the map. Answers to your questions: 1) You may only use the 'parts' of regular Meteor. It's a mapping contest, not a modding contest. 2) There will be 2 multiplayer themes (HH & Coop only), but all rest will be singleplayer. 3) OK, I'll change the voting rule: Active members cannot vote. 4) Nope, only mapping =) @DarkRain: You don't need to have time this Friday, of course you'll only have less time than the others (only 4 days instead of 5), but that doesn't prevent you from joining.
