My favorite would probably be Acegikmo's, but Dr. Spud, Grazr, HellJumper, Mangy, and YM all had downright phenomenal entries. Probably a few others I'm forgetting, too.

From that first link:
Note that first link and on that page we have the following:
You also have, in that second link, which you indicated that you read:
I'm not being parsimonious, but the rules say you need to post in those places, and ZPQ will only be looking in those places for entries, so if you havent got anything there, he wont know. If you PM him, he may be willing to let you in late.

For some reason i have a love of Gerbil's entry
I'm pretty sure that qualifies as "late." It's like standing in the wrong line at the DMV and wondering why you're not being helped.
Well I guess that's the spirit of things. The DMV.

I should also mention that "once the submission thread is up" is not an explicit statement that "you must submit through the submission thread".

Common sense etc.
Common sense, to me, was that you upload to the Contest section; that posting to a thread here or there was optional, possibly informational - but uploading was mandatory. Because aren't we being judged on the thing itself? - and the thing is a map, not a forum post.

There are a lot of good ones...
Spud, YM, acegikmo are just a few.
I also like mine :3 What really annoyed me was the fact that many people submitted unfinished maps -_-

Also, if you had any questions, there was a thread for it.
Hell, I asked how we were supposed to submit about a month ago. Because I didn't want to assume anything and be disqualified.
History Lesson: Johnson became President after Lincoln was assassinated. The Radicals didn't like him, but needed a reason to impeach him. So the real reason he was impeached was because nobody liked him, but the legal reason was because he fired a cabinet member, breaking a law.
Now, I taught you this CaRteR, because if I were zpq, I would do the same. I wouldn't allow you to enter the contest late because of your attitude and blaming your inability to follow the rules on others. But I'd mark the reason down in the official papers as "Failure to submit map properly and on time" or something along those lines.
AND when you look for an apple in a grocery store, all the apples are sold in the same place, right? Why wouldn't you question submitting a map in a location where no other map exists?
Also, cue obligatory "YM or Mangy or Ace will win, why even try" comment.
Oh right, my favourite. I just downloaded 19 of the Artpass maps to look at in more detail.

So he should assasinate ZPQ?
Why was this brought up in this thread anyway? The general artpass contest thread or even the FAQ thread would have been more suitable...
Does it say that you must submit it to the submission thread?
Does it even say, on this thread, that you must go to that submission thread and read the rules there?
Is it possible that a person could think that uploading a contest map to the contest section would suffice? When they hadn't read these rules?
But, the most obvious thing I'm asking is, why are you all acting like wolves? What does it matter to you so much to disqualify this? I would think that, in the interests of the fostering the community, and in the interest of fostering the spirit of competition and creativity, you would be inclined to interpret the language of the rules a bit - in a situation of unclarity - in favour of a creator?
I poured my heart into this map. To come this far, and to be disqualified for this, just borders on unbelieveable. It's like something from a Kafka or Orwell novel.
Show me what you are made of.

My question to you, why wouldn't you read the rules?
Also, I'd love for you to enter, more entries is good, but if all you're doing is bitching in threads and things then it puts you in a bad light. If you have message'd zpq let him take care of it, if he says you're not allowed in, you're not allowed in. Period. No need to kick up a shit storm.
