Are the kicks going to be as strict as the mapdraft packs? Mapdraft packs specified EXACTLY what is supposed to be used. Will the kicks be more accomodating, using language like "must use at least", "use no more than", etc.?

I want in. Not necessarily because of the contest, but because it's your contest. Nah... it's because of the contest.

considering the example kicks: i think they are overcomplicated and they allow people to "cheat". i mean, who's gonna know what colour your shirt is? seriously. those kicks allow people to just use whatever they want. and don't tell me nobody will cheat and it's all about fun, cause everybody will do it.
also, don't the 10 first people to sign up get to make the kicks? so you won't actually create any (unless some are "unworthy").
anyways, it all seems a little unclear. i know my kicks will be straightforward and uncomplicated to follow.

I wasn't referring to strictness in the sense of "will this kick be the same thing no matter who gets it or when they get it?" I was referring to strictness in the sense that exact amounts are required. Like "6 2-tiles" vs. "at least 6 2-tiles" or "no more than 6 2-tiles". See the difference? It's not like I don't like the exact packs - I think a mix would be best (both inter-pack mixes and intra-pack mixes). But if all the packs are exact, I don't think I'll be participating.

IMO, a contest like this should be about having a medium amount of restrictions and making actually good maps, rather than having a lot of restrictions and just making maps that are okay (or rather, making maps that are "good considering you got those packs"). But it's your contest. I'm just curious which way you're gonna go.

EDIT: I also agree that those kicks are rather complicated. You can be creative without getting complicated. Still, I think you've got some good ideas.

Woah. Kicks? Random number strings? This is more confusing than MAPDRAFT. Count me in.

I love unnecessary convoluted-ness. And you're right sTalkR, those examples are extremely cheatable. Sorry. Now, as an answer to your question, yes, you can have Kicks with phrases like "less than five" or "between ten and twenty." Is this what you meant?

golfkid - "I beat kk on his map, and he got me within 6 seconds, then I did it again and he beat me in 12 seconds."

blue_tetris - "kkstrong was nothing, alot of people stood in his way, and he just fought against adversity, he learned he lived, and he was admin at nmaps.net for a while. He is a great mapper, and ya know, thats why he is on the short list for the mod pick."

Pheidi -" Despite a mapper's best efforts, highscorers will always find a way to defy his intentions."
