Does the map has to be protected? Can I just use original StarEdit? Is the staff going to judge prejudicially based on their friends at their top priority?
But nevertheless, Im up for it...

Maps will be scored 1-5 in two categories:

1) Content/Appeal. The fun and creativity in the map. How good the idea behind the map is.
2) Construction. How well the map was made. Seamless transitions, lack of bugs, etc.

Scores will be averaged and compaired to determine winners.



Am I the only one that was almost laughing at the little argument about how godly of terrainers they were when it really doesn't even matter?

I will be submitting a madness map to this contest. In all reality, I probably will be the only one doing so, and it really hits these two judging categories smile.gif

Aagh, I've been meaning to make a Starcraft version of that for AGES. Serves me right for never getting around to it...

Isn't it wonderful how there's a version of everything for Starcraft bout now. When I first started playing I was like, What's that, golems? huh YOu mean there are diff types of games than normal melee? Later as I became a UMS only sorta person I went on to think wow, isn't LOTR cool. and WHOA there was soon to be an SC version of the novels. Same went for Starwars and later the Wheel of time even. I mean, people are so creative that they can take what they love be it the game Pacman or Beamwars, or the books LOTR and WOT and make it work on the SC format. It's so awesome and map contests like this one are such a great fun way to spur on the hardwork and thought that these projects take. ^_^

It doesn't really matter, even if you already made it I would still make my own version. Beamwars was just that awsome. Ill challenge you some time if I ever finish it.

i've started an old idea i had which combined several snipers-type maps, ctf, onslaught (from UT2004) and Tank Wars ( if you've ever played it ) on one map.

what category would a Lazer Tag fall?

Philly, that would probably get its own category, lol.


Kaboom, you can be creative in a madness map. It's not that hard; staredit itself has limitations, and people overcome them. Would an RPG be not original because the idea of an RPG has already been done? I would most certainly say not; there are so many variables you can change!

Admittably, some things would be the same. I use photon cannons for a base to kill; why? Because I think they best accomplish the purpose. I have heroes you get for kill increments, but this simply makes it more interesting without completely unbalancing it like new units spawning would. Most RPG's all use leveling up systems, but that's certainly not original. Pardon me for only using RPGs as a frame of reference, but I am not sure what you are the most familar with, and these maps have great room for creativity in most people's eyes.

I am looking forward to seeing your completed map. Hopefully, you believe the same in respect to mine smile.gif
