Staredit Network -> Miscellaneous -> Monthly Challenge--judges(5) needed!
Report, edit, etc...Posted by iamandragon on 2004-11-05 at 21:24:16
I decided to hold up a monthly challenge just like the warboards.

Every month I will post up a challenging topic(challenging your SE or SC skills), and we can all compete against one another!

However, judges are needed before we can start!

Anyone would like to sign up?

To sign up, simply write an unbaised review on the map Kill Me! by Tuxedo-Templar. Entries are taken from now till next Wednesday when I post a post up(so if you sumit AFTER me saying 'deadline is up!', unlucky)

There are 10 slots for judges. 5 for StarEdit judges, 5 for StarCraft judges. You can choose to apply for both(although you will be offered one slot) or specify which one you want to apply for.

You don't need to do anything if you are a judge. All you do is vote and take the pleasure to design complicated and evil tasks for competitors, and you can still compete in the challenge.


Current Judges:
PCFredZ--Star Craft monthly challenge judge(T)
Kow--Star Craft monthly challenge judge
Kow--Star Edit monthly challenge judge

High--Star Edit monthly challenge judge(unchallenged)
DT_Battlekruser--Star Edit monthly challenge judge(uncertain)
DT_Battlekruser--Star Craft monthly challenge judge(uncertain)
MillenniumArmy--Star Edit monthly challenge judge(unchallenged)
Lisk--Star Edit/Craft monthly challenge judge(unchallenged)(unselected)
urmom--Star Edit/Craft monthly challenge judge(unchallenge)(unselected)
n2o-Simpsons--Star Edit/Craft monthly challenge judge(unchallenged)(unselected)

Those with a (T) behind them have secured a place in the SEN challenges team, which means they have the power to set up the challenges
Those with (unchallenged) can be kicked out if anyone pass the tryouts before they do.
Those with (uncertain) may not be a judge
Those with (unselected) may select to be one of the Star Edit/Craft monthly challenge judge.

can i be a sixth judge because i just got back from school so i couldnt post earlier today

Same here. Why don't you post a sample map and give a deadline of, say one week for the volunteers to review? Otherwise people'll just look and say... "yet another biased map team..."

biggrin.gif Nothing implied!

Okay, okay. Apart from the original judge team I will include some back-up judges to judge on those judges who also competed.

There will be 5 members of back-up judges.
First come first serve!

I didn't say backups. That way the "backups" are like "nah, you ain't so good, we MIGHT call you if Mr. Regular Judge has a heart attack, was abducted by aliens, and such"... I demand a tryout!

lol true true and well put. what would the "back-up" judges be able to do?

Muhaha, I was, in fact, the person who submitted Kill Me! to the DL Database.

Here goes:







Map Name: Kill Me!
Map Type: Movie
Creator: Tuxedo_Templar




Sentence Summary


Absolutely hilarious, captivating, map size small enough that you won't know the sound effects packed in!




Point Summary


Overall Rate: 10/10 (0 being lowest, 10 being highest; half-points are possible)

Movie maps are judged by the following categories (the points that this map has received are in parentheses after the categories, 0 being lowest, 10 being highest):
  • Plot (9)
  • Organization (10)
  • Sound/Music (10)
  • Triggering (10)
  • Interactiveness (10)
  • Meaningful/Humorous (10)




Detailed Review


Kill Me!, one of the most recognized works by Tuxedo_Templar, and one of the few maps that have popularized even the mindless droning players of Battle.net.

In this typical movie map, Tux has used atypical elements that made the map flourish.

The plot was of a man, Mr. Hapless (from one of Tux's previous movies), who has done terrible deeds in his life. Well, now his bad karma gets back at him... his karma, as in, YOU.

You, the movie watchers, vote on one of several ways to kill Mr. Hapless: nuclear strike, mass-murdered, highway crossing disasters, or just falling off a cliff and letting gravity do the dirty work. There is even a part where the players participate in the execution of Mr. Hapless, choosing a weapon of choice, and getting a piece of Hapless. Each death possibility has different plots of their own, some brief, some epic, but all sure to bring laughter from the audience.

Surpassing Tux's former works, Kill Me! efficiently and effectively incorporated numerous music clips and sound effects that made watching this map actually feel like watching a comical movie, instead of reading some Shakespeare book.

Long story short, the plot felt a bit short (you never can get tired of seeing the same guy dying over and over), but for its size and pizzazz, Kill Me! stood out from all the other so-called "Movie" maps I have seen, earning, with honor and dignity (or the stripping of it from Hapless), a perfect 10.




END

tongue.gif Lmao, if I put this much effort into MAKING maps, World of Starcraft, I and II, would be played by half of Battle.net (er, maybe); if I put this much effort into writing my English essays, I'd have finished the three projects due Friday way back last week! Oh well, Veteran's Day, work your magic... happy.gif

k.
btw I have included some areas. If you are writing a review, you have to find out exllence points in the map Kill Me! If you wanna be a StarEdit judge, you have to realize how is this map hard/skillful to be made. If you wanna be a StarCraft judge, you have to be good at analysing so as to see how skillful the player is.

Why bother with how complicated the triggers are when it's the end result, the PLAYING of the map, that matters?

can i be a starcraft judge? should i still review Kill Me? i think that would be the most appropriate judging spot for me.

If you can't spot how complicated the triggers are and how excellent they are laid out, you can't know the effort the makers had put in and therefore you not suit for a StarEdit judge.
But a StarCraft judge perhaps!

You can be a StarCraft judge of course! Just write a review for Kill Me! and that's it! It doesn't need to be too long (I won't appreciate if you write a zillion words packed in font 8...) but it has to be neat!

OverView
Fun Little map that anyone would enjoy. Mr. Hapless goes around dying in unique ways. You, as the players, are able to choose the ways he dies. Be it falling off a cliff, exploding, or many other ways, it is suprisingly amusing. Tuxedo-Templar is known for his excelent maps, and this one does not disappoint.
