New Contest: RAIN SHANK

Rules: Basically, you make maps with only "chunks" of tiles, which float in the air. The "chunks can only take up 6 tile spaces each, and you can have a maximum of 10 in the map. No more tiles other than those. This creates an big open feel, allowing room for actiony chaingun, rocket, or gauss dodgers, or they could be a slower theme like a jumper or laser drone theme. You can use any enemies you want, and can submit up to 3 maps.

Try to be creative! A solid block of six e tiles will not bode well for this contest. Be abstract, and try to stray from your normal path. I would suggest at least 5 judges ,so that we can have each map judged by at least 3 different people. Post if you want to join. Here is a list of participants, and judges:

Prizes: Winner receives 5 RCEs, 1 Ded, and maybe a feature if it is good enough (it's unlikely, but hey: if it is good enough, it is good enough).
2nd place gets 5 RCEsdasd
3rd place gets 3 RCEs

All you people staring: It sounds bad at first, but try it. They're quick to make, just hard to perfect. They turn out quite fun!

Dude, offering a feature as a prize in a contest makes a mockery out of the reviewing system, Im pretty sure if atob saw this he'd be frothing at the mouth, but idk.

That said, it ideas okay if not a little restrictive. Dont add me for the time being.

I have a feeling that you will have your featuring ability rescinded if it is abused like this.

Anyway, you'll need more than five judges if you plan to have three judges per map.

I wouldn't hand out a feature if it sucked. But to win, it has to be good. Chances are, I won't feature it, but some come very close. Nspired, you went over the thingy limit. I'll let it slide since it still served the intended purpose, and cuz I was thinking of something waaay different, so I kinda astonished me. I'll submit mine in a bitz. You guys, I'll add you after din-din, wait a little. You can start making.

Well, lets see. I rates my first one SUCK and I didn't rate my second one. I have a new judge now, who can rate mine and/or add on to the judging of others.

Beethoven, that fits in the rules, but it is not really what I had in mind. Are you joining? Cryonic, would you mind judging mine? The judging rubric is a the top post. The second one: Punch Me In The Face.

A Bionic: In retrospect, I see that the tilesets are quite different. Rest assured, I will revise you score. However, I actually was hoping you'd judge my second map, titled "Punch Me In the Face", cuz the tiles look like teeth.
