Not easy to listen through such a phone call when your sitting there in your chair knowing this could've been you maybe.

Lucky us that we are alive and can enjoy our lives.

But it's just so damn wrong, that had to be said. YOU GUYS WHO ORGANIZED THIS ATTACK ARE JUST SO DAMN censored.gif AND censored.gif SO GO SCREW YOURSELVES.

Why are we even talking about fetuses? Stem cells come from small clusters of cells much earlier along the line than fetuses, as the cells used for stem cell research never had any human form, they were barely even seeable without magnification. Calling such things "fetuses" is a gross misstatement.

I never sayd that, it could be really. But actually I don't know and that's what bothers me the most and the fact that there was like no research after the US got 'attacked' in their own country disgust.gif

UV Ray has been increasing too, so theres a much more likely chance of getting skin cancer. Also there has been a research that there is going to be a solar storm (when theres a hole in the atmosphere) above New York City. People in NYC and states near it would get skin cancer.

Once again, the winners, the prizes, and the downright funny.

As a reminder, July's Theme was Christmas.
Let's get that judging criteria out there again:
QUOTE
Theme (10) - Obviously this one is important. If the map isn't even remotely related to the theme, it won't score very well. A map scoring 0 on this won't be graded further, regardless of how well it fits. Something that looks premade and just custom fit with a few text messages won't score very well.

Fun (25) - Important for me as I'm playing the map. Am I running around having a good time, or watching a unit talk to itself in a movie? Are there huge bugs that prevent play of the maps? If I ever go to this map again, is it going to be to play it with friends or to delete the scm/scx? This is usually the deciding factor in contest entries.

Aesthetics and Professionalism (15) - Did you use one type of terrain tile? Are there mispellings distracting me at every turn with some poorly made triggers? Got a bunch of unit unplacable errors? Hopefully you can create something that looks and feels decent. I'm not asking for extensive extended terrain or hundreds of sprites, a map that seems well-made and bug-free scores very well. On the subject of professionalism, please PLAYTEST your maps before submission. Nothing looks dumber than a map that obviously hasn't been tested.


SNAKE_Christmas.scx by Devilesk
THEME: 10/10
Playing snake for presents, good enough for me. Just watch out for the Grinch. yawn.gif
FUN: 18/25
A pretty fun game. Hard to control at first, but if you can figure it out this is a great map.
PROFESSIONALISM: 15/15
It all works perfectly and looks good. A banned user winning a contest. The irony.
TOTAL: 43/50 - First Place! 800 minerals

present_warz_.scx by Heegu
THEME: 10/10
Wars over presents, good enough for me.
FUN: 10/25
Plenty of action, but the arena is just too big. This combined with my hyper trigger broken masser that worked every five minutes made for a boring experience. But hey, I was losing so I just banned the other player and everything was good (really shouldn't have a banner for something like this).
PROFESSIONALISM: 12/15
Hyper trigger bug or something? My masser worked about once every five minutes. Can you not process my SCV if it isn't holding something? I do like to move it in certain directions without losing it to a trigger. Aside from the that, the map is very well made and pleasing to the eye.
TOTAL: 32/50 - Second Place! 400 minerals
http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=5784

Grinch___Children.scx by -bilal92-
THEME: 10/10
Steal Christmas, cool.
FUN: 10/25
How much fun can Cat and Mice be?
PROFESSIONALISM: 8/15
The map was decently made, aside from a few broken heroes. Also, make the hero location bigger. Nobody likes their chooser being created on the beacon for a one chooser cost unit.
TOTAL: 28/50 - Third Place! 200 minerals

Merry_Christmas.scx by Noober // Oo.Xero.oO
THEME: 10/10
Virtual Christmas Card. Works for me.
FUN: 7/25
It makes me feel warm inside, but not entertained. tongue.gif
PROFESSIONALISM: 5/15
The TERRAIN must've been hard. Oh wait, they have programs that do that now. You had the dedication to do all those text displays though. tongue.gif
TOTAL: 22/50

Elf_Division.scx by Demon
THEME: 10/10
Fighting elves, that's Christmassy enough for me.
FUN: 8/25
I get elves, rescue other elves, and get raped by Reindeer. Not a whole lot of fun. Why was I considered dead when I still owned "Elder Elves"?
PROFESSIONALISM: 4/15
"Welcome to the briefing that no one will read". I would've read it if it scrolled faster. I checked out the map to see if there were more than 10 triggers (there were) and I noticed there would be an obvious bug when Santa spawned, because each player would make one. The "Elder Elves" are a bit unbalanced. Also, I would've liked to see some in game text... not "Here's elves go kill crap" in the briefing.
TOTAL: 22/50

Rudolph__s_Quest.scx by Richan
THEME: 10/10
Help Santa get to town for Christmas, good enough.
FUN: 5/25
I was the Spirit of Christmas. I sat around minimap pinging my team where to go. When they touched a magic crystal, I got an Archon to tell them what direction to go. But I can talk and ping, so what good exactly is that? Once I minimap pinged out a path I could have gone to sleep.
PROFESSIONALISM: 5/15
All players "Required"? Worked fine without them for me. Just kill off the units for other players who aren't there and its fine... or better phrased, stop taking the lazy way out.
WTF was up with the giant miscolored text display at the beginning. Nearly impossible to read all that before it scrolls up or players talk it off screen. I had no idea what was going on after that. Fortunately I didn't have much to do.
TOTAL: 20/50




I'll be honest, this contest sucked. People had summer vacations, got lazy, and as usual the theme may have been "bad" (for some it always is, so eventually I stop listening tongue.gif). I wish more people entered, because this was definitely one to sneak away with a victory from a lower quality map. Take note... second place scored 32 points. For those who won, good job, but don't expect it to be that easy next time. smile.gif
There were only six maps, and a lot of them weren't very impressive. They are all attached to this post. I'll get up links to the individual top placers and distribute minerals (I regret upping the prizes). Anyway, I still have hope that more of you will come through in August. Until then...

Actually I was tempted to buy one of those 3 foot x 3 foot circular kid pools to fill with cold water and just relax in front of my TV. Aside from the clean-up afterwards, that seemed like a great idea... hmm...

of the United States of America and Jamaica.

Oh man, last of all. cry.gif (and for one time, THE least)

I was hoping to at least pass the map, with 25/50, but oh well... tongue.gif Maybe you could've tried to be another player instead of the Spirit of Christmas, as the others are more challenging. biggrin.gif

Meh, in the possitive aspect, I can say I scored 20 points, which is not THAT bad for the first time, and having to finish my map within 3 days is not that easy. I have to thank Heegu, if it wasn't for him my map would've scored 10 points (surely for sticking to the theme), and when I playtested his map I knew he'd end up in top places for sure.

Well yeah of course you could kill off the other units, but it gives the impression of the map being sucky. tongue.gif (it is sucky anyway blushing.gif ) Besides, you do need practically all players if you are to reach town.

See ya and Congrats to the Winners! wink.gif
