Nonetheless, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so IN.

Oh! and can we use nreality? I would like to say no, but i could probably swindle some marks in the bacon judging category if it is allowed.

I'm pretty sure we don't get packs like that. You add together all of the objects and tile from your mappacks.

(ie. [3 drones, 2 tiles] pack and [1 drone, 4 gold] pack is not a contradiction. It means [4 drones, 2 tiles, 4 gold])




Question: Can we "reroll" and get new packs. I'm finding it hard to make a map that uses all the enemies with so few tiles that isn't the ultimate noob map. (I need more cowbell "any tile" cards. Don't have any of those now.)

I think this contest would be better (or at least the maps in it would be better) if instead of controlling the exact number of enemies and objects, if we got more conceptual type requirements about the general idea of the map. For example, instead of "x flooguards" something like "your map must contain at least one floorguard that functions like a door" or instead of "13 E-tiles" something like "start with an E-tile filled map and make caves" or instead of "2 rockets" something like "the dominant enemy in the map is a rocket launcher" and instead of "5 guass turrets, 3 seeker drones" something like "map contains more gauss turrets than zap drones and must contain at least 1 zap drone" That way we're not over-restricted, but it still limits what you can do.

EDIT: Nevermind. This contest could work well; we just need more packs like Zivilyn got (a pack that gives sufficient tiles and choices between mines and enemies)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

Need more packs like this. Zivilyn's map is easily the best by far out of all the maps because he didn't have to try and fit every enemy into the map, as he could choose to use mines instead. I think every card should give a choice between 2 things, and we should get 1 strickly tiles pack so we don't end up with 10 tiles and 20 enemies. (I ended up with about 4 tiles to every enemy (not including mines- exactely 2.5 tiles to every enemy if you include mines), which made things very difficult)

Also, I think the 4th pack should always be a rule card so you don't have to stuff too many enemies into the map.

EDIT: Another suggestion: Instead of getting 4 cards, maybe we could get 5 cards, and then discard one of them?

The first round will be mostly a test round to see what works and what does not. Subsequent rounds will change depending on the previous one. In addition, most of this contest is just doing the best you can with whatever weird assortment of things you receive.

also, the winners DO get to make their own packs ( a lot of them ), so possibly this issue will resolve itself.

it'll all work out in the end, and thanks for your suggestions. This contest really took off, and it's a little tough to keep up with what everybody wants :)

Please include me.

I'll probably delist all my submissions because I don't want to mess up my map count. Is that okay?

EDIT: did you want the maps to be tagged with 'mapdraft' ?

as long as there's a link to your submission, i don't mind it being delisted. you can tag it 'Mapdraft' if you'd like, but you don't have to.
