Now GET MAPPING!

It is that time again!

Me and Bobaga_Fett are going to run this contest once again, but it will be done smoothly and correctly this time.

*Note we do have 3 judges now, Daikenkai has requested that he be a judge. We three will be the only judges.

The Idea

The Judges (Being Me and Bob) are going to create a map that contains only objects.

You (The Mapper) are going to create a map out of those objects using only tiles.

Each Round will have a special theme, which may or may not have to deal with the tiles, but will affect the judging.

You may not cover up objects in any way, but you do not have to use all of them.

Then the maps will be judged, and depending on the number of players, at the end of each round there will be eliminations. This will continue until there are 2 people left, then there will be a special round.

The Rules

1. You may not delete, add, alter, or cover up any objects at all.

2. You do not have to utilize all of the objects (It is advised), yet the more you utilize the better your score.

3. All maps must be completed 1 week, or 168 hours after the beginning of the round, this will most likely be midnight where me and bob are, which is -6 GMT or Central Time (North America).

4. You must submit all maps to NUMA with the tag "TACIII", and post in this topic the link to said map.

The Judging

Me, Bobaga_Fett, and Daikenkai are going to be judging this.

The Criteria is as follows:

Total score of 100.

x/50 Will be the overall enjoyment of the map.
x/25 Will be how many of the objects were utilized and if the correct theme was used, or if the theme is perceivable.
x/25 Will be how playable the map is and how well the map looks.

So, each map will have an overall score of 300, 100 from each judge.
There is no need to average, as it is the same thing. This also makes it more dramatic, larger scores!

The Winnings

So everyone wants to know what 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place gets.

Well you get to decide, I'll be setting up a poll once the contest begins, to see whether you want ded's, sigs, sigbars, or just recognition. So be thinking!

I'd like in.

And I'd like to give a suggestion. The winner of each round gets to make the next objects map for the next round.

:)

Me in.

One question. Can objects be partially covered by tiles? 'Cause that would be cool hint hint.

I'll join.

add me..

http://forum.therealn.com/viewtopic.php ... lit=retile

mae, look at that from the Retile Comp. Pawz has a good picture that shows how much the tiles can cover up.

I'll add you four now.

Note a change in the rules, you must have a tag accompanying your map that reads "TACIII". Thanks.

This will be my first contest, but I'd like to try =)
Count me in

Sign me up, sounds like fun

ATTENCION MAPMAKERS/CONTESTANTS

I have compiled improtant quotes from TACII that should be taken into consideration. If you ever have the urge to whine and complain about how the designated objects suck or any other tidbit of misery that is plague-ing your life, refer to these quotations.

Bad news is that it looks like e_m won't be in it, but hopefully it can function more thoroughly than this contest has. So with that said, We will finish this contest up, and then we will get TAC3 rolling. I don't expect to start it for a week or two after this one is done. Once this is finished I will start up a sign in thread for those who wish to compete or judge. Thanks for hanging in on this one guys. Hope me and bob see you in the next one .

EDIT: Just because notkitt was being a dick. Here is the deal.

1. In 2 or 3 weeks after the contest I will start a SIGN UP thread for the new contest.
2. 2 to 3 weeks after the SIGN UP thread goes up, I will start the contest.
3. I will postpone any dates BEFORE the beginning of the contest if we have a lack of participation, whether due to other contest or notkitt being dumb.
4. I will need all the help I can get. This includes judges (3 or 4), someone/s to make sigbars and other stuff for winners, and maybe a person or two to create the objects (this will most likely include me and bob (if he stills wants to), but I hope to see some other people help out). I might make a few sub-threads for these.
5. Thanks everyone again for this.

bobaganuesh_2 wrote:Ok I'll do something about it. The point of this contest, in my opinion, NOT that of a 12-year old flake, is to improve the tileset making ability of your mapmaking toolset. That means at least trying to attempt to make the map. You may not be the best at it, but you will never improve if you don't try. I can see loads of possiblities with each object map e_m, BNW, and I have submitted. It's not really that hard. If your so worried about winning, than maybe this contest is not for you

Sorry about it being crampy/crappy, I was rushing it so I wouldn't be virtually decapitated. I'll try to make it better next round, but it's hard to manage a contest that wasn't your original idea, right *cough*e_m*cough*? But, then again this is a contest, and it's action is to push your skills so you can grow as a mapmaker, highscorer, whatever.

Well, that was BNW's original plan,. Be sure when you submit ur maps to ADD THE TAG TACIII. not TAC3 or tac3 or tacIII or TACiii. Make it TACIII so we won't have to sort through piles of maps to find your submission that you failed to tag properly. We will be running this contest during our late night hours, since I have a full-yime job and he has something else do over the summer. Eiturlyf and notkitt are not allowed to join. Ever. (jk)

I'm in.

This sounds like tons of fun.

I'm in as soon as school's out (for me, at least). If the contest starts this weekend, I am totally playing!

Thanks!

This most likely won't start for a couple of weeks, because we need enough people to sign up.

Damnit. I'm leaving for summer in a couple weeks.

Count me out, I guess. Too bad.

I'm sorry, you really couldn't have competed anyways, considering this is going to run for about 6 weeks.

Thanks anyways.

can I join? great idea btw, but don't limit the players

Woooooo
...I'm in.

Sign me up!

Count me in.

If only spudzalot would join

...then we'd all get completely owned...

is this dead already? if not, i'd like to join, but only if this starts soon.

I am still waiting for it to start as well.

I would like to join, sounds like fun.

I'd like to join if i can..

No this is not dead. I have been away for a week on vacation and I am now back. Once I adjust the list and get confirmation from my other judges, this will be under way. Thank you all for being patient. I'll be notifying all of you when this begins and the first post will be modified.
