Judging Criteria
QUOTE
Theme (15) - Obviously this is the name of the game. 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. Something that looks premade and just custom fit with a few text messages won't score very well.
Fun (20) - 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? 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 probably going to be the deciding factor in contest entries.
Aesthetics and Professionalism (15) - Did you use one type of tile and no text color? Are there mispellings distracting me at every turn with some poorly made triggers? Hopefully you can create something that looks and feels decent. I'm not asking for extensive extended terrain or hundreds of sprites, a map with a unique feel to it should score at least an easy 10.

Aw...you didn't wait until a new version of SCMD2 that doesn't auto-recycle strings came out. Now I can't enter. Oh well. I'll still be donating and...mind if I take on the position of a judge? Any requirements for it?
Until the end of summer, that sounds like alot of time, as well as the conveniance of it taking place during summer. Unless, you have SAT preps and lotsa vacations during the season. Otherwise, it's definately a generous amount of time and oppurtunity. There shouldn't be much room for excuses this time. Except for string limits.
And Saix, nice KH2 reference. But anyways, good luck to the contest. I'm rooting for a much better participation, as well as publicity for this. I'll be supporting this and I'll try to enter as soon as the SCMD2 problem is fixed. And in that case, I won't run for being a judge.

YAYAY!!!
I will now prepare the pwnage that is my map.
Get ready for:
flowing music
original terrain
exciting storyline
interactive and actionpacked gameplay.
I've gotten quite a few ideas since the last time I released anything, which was quite some time ago. I have uncovered several new doodads and blends which could be quite interesting. I already have several audio peices which may fit into varying styles of adventure music, and am creating more on an almost daily basis. The triggering system in this is elegant in it's simplicity yet its flexibility in what it can encompass. I have yet to truly expand upon a storyline, but I can reach that before september.

My only problem is the... deadline....
When you think about it, people havn't had 4 months to make this map.... they've had six...
Since this is a carry-on from the first contest, most people have been making the map since the beginning of the last one, some people might even re-submit. So in my opinion knock off some of the deadline time, of course you can ask the others as well. Oh yeah, pray starman doesn't decide to enter his new map... no one will beat him(cept for maybe me 
). Anyway my other opinion is to just make this contest an extension of the last 1. If you do that it won't be too bad. But it's completely up to you so goodluck. Hope this one turns out better.

I've got a question about this line:
When it a map an 'old map' which will be rejected? Since you said that maps from 5 years ago will not be rejected which makes them not 'old'; that confuses me a bit
.
By the way, is it allowed to submit a map which already won other contests on this forum? (Not that I got a winner-map, I'm just wondering)

That's right, I'm 100% positive my map will win if I enter it, and no one's map will come even close to it. Muhahahahahah!!
(Meh, just trying to psych people into entering contest to 'show' me up
)Regarding the issue 'continuation' maps, I'm probably going to try to enter a completely new map (Well, not completely 'new.' It's an old rpg I never finished and I'm remaking from scratch).
