Special thanks to UniverseZero, GTM and atob.

Welcome to Pimp My Map, the competition where only the best Pimpers make it.

Here are the general rules. I will submit a really bad map, a map that would be rated 1/5 at best, and the contestants will have to take that map and pimp it up, by adding tiles, enemies, etc.

Amount you can erase: Well, every pimper knows that you have to get rid of stuff and replace it with the new, however, to earn top points, you must keep as much of the body you can, as there is a category that you must try to fill called 'Evolution of Original Design'.

Judging Categories
  1. Aesthetics /20
    Evolution of Original Design /20
    Gameplay /20

    Total /60

Just like in the Retile Contest this shows what can and cannot be used.

There will be three rounds and nine contestants. Each round will have different rules to it; these rules may include;
  • Cannot use thumps.
  • Can only use rockets as enemies.
  • Must be a race/action map etc.
Also, because of complaints, no n-arts may be submitted in this competition.

There will be four judges including myself.

You should place a limitation on the amount of pimping that can be done, or this is just going to be an 'erase my map and make whatever you want' contest.

Unless the items and tiles you place cannot be removed?

It might just be that there will be rules to the rounds to limit the pimpations.... right?

It doesn't look like you have many competitors so far but good luck with getting your contest off the ground! If you want a suggestion, fixing up the spelling and grammar in the first post might help you get more people on board

that "must be n-art" possibility is making me reconsider because i, like a lot of mappers, suck at making narts.

with more detail in the description of the contest rules, i might join.


and so it goes, and so it goes, and so will you soon i suppose.

Imo, instead of a concrete number of things to be removed, why not have a judging critereon such as "How well the initial map was conveyed" or "Evolution of original design" or something. Basically, the mapper loses points for making the map more unrecognisable, but gains them for evolving the theme of the map and making small changes. Like 5 (or even 7) could be the original map, 0 could be something completely different, and 10 could be a completely successful and exceptional evolution.

Eh?

Yeah! That's quite good actually. But I think you'd need some pretty hardcore judges kablamo if you do GTM's idea.

I would like to be a contestant and a judge. If I cannot be both, then just a judge. (Obviously if I was a judge another judge would judge my map).

Also, I made this if you want it.
