Paradigm Shift Contest

Here's how this is going to work. The Judge will give a Theme, such as "E Tiles", "Minimalism", "The Color Blue", etc. Then anyone who wants to can post a map that fits the Theme. The Judge will pick a Map from the first five (5) submitted submitted less than twenty-four (24) hours after the Theme was posted. The person who created the winning Map will become the new Judge. Here's an example:
Phil gives a Theme of "Drones". Tom, Dick, and Harry all submit Maps based on drones. Phil picks Harry's map because it has a cool name. Harry is now the Judge.
Hopefully this will go on forever, so I'll set some ground rules now:
The Theme must not break any rules of the Forum or NUMA. The Judge may not submit a map to a theme he is judging. The Judge must pick from the first five (5) Maps submitted all of the Maps submitted within twenty-four (24) hours of the posting of the Theme. If only one (1) map is posted in the first twenty-four (24) hours, then the Judge must wait for another map to be submitted before declaring a winner. The Judge may pick any Map for any reason. Every entrant may only submit one (1) Map for every theme. Maps can be submitted for multiple themes, but once a map wins a round, it may not be entered into any other theme. The winner must either become the new Judge, or choose one (1) of the other entrants to become the new Judge. If the winner does not respond within twenty-four (24) hours of being declared the winner, I, bufar, will pick a new judge from the entrants of the previous round. If all entrants decline to become the new Judge, I, bufar, will become the Judge.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Good Luck and Have Fun.

Thank you. I can't take all the credit though, because this is loosely based upon the "Three Words or Less" comp from a long time ago.
But now, for the moment we've all been waiting for, the winner of this round, and the next judge is:
PALEMOON
because he didn't make the map revolve around mines, and still fit the theme extremely well. Here is a userbar for him, if he wants to use it:
*moved to first post*
notsteve, your map was a close second, and It deserves an honorable mention. I don't have a userbar for that, sorry.

Nay, making one for it.

But I do have a song for it!

My pumpkin brings all the ghosts to the yard
and they're like
it's worse than yours
I can spook you
But I have to charge

No.
That concludes entries for this theme, we now wait upon PALEMOON's decision.

okay. i played all of them extensively, and i now have the results for you...

after much deliberation, both notsteve and toaster's maps were about tied.

in the end, though, i have to go with notsteve's, because pitchfork boy really captured the essence of a spooky halloween.


congratulations!!

Did you or bufar comment on the map I submitted? I keep getting a random(?) log out whenever I try and look at my map, and it's bugging me that I can't see the comment.
