Contest idea thread!

I thought about a Team oriented TC contest where teams of 4-6 people would design a TC map (1 person designs an area, another designs another area right next to the first one and the two manage the accessibility of each area) by following objectives (Ex: Vanilla (No textures/models/entities from post-Goldrush Update), competitive, CP only, invade CTF/PLR not allowed, etc.).

Might cut down the enormous amount of entries anyway :p

Another idea I would also like to propose regarding my Team TC contest idea, each team should be divided into two seperate groups. One group will design the RED areas of the map while the other designs the BLU areas. And just to reason with leading complications, the captain of each group should be in charge of the main CP of the group. For example, if I were to design BLU's main CP, I would be in charge of leading my group with the devellopment of my group's areas and transitioning between BLU and RED sectors of the map. Group leaders will be able to communicate with each other when they're ready to bring all parts of the map together as a whole when they're ready to release a late alpha or first beta of the map.

Y/N?

That doesn't sound in any shape or form practical.

I would not like to have a group contest at all. Someone in the group can and absolutely, no matter what, will quit before the contest ends. It's just no fun to work with potentially unreliable people over the internet.

I'd be down for a 3-stage CP a/d contest. I've been wanting to make one, and have an idea rolling around.

Same here. I wanted to join in on the CTF contest but I joined this community so late :(
A 3-Stage CP A/D or a Gravel-Pit styled A/D contest sounds fun.

Entity Throwdown.

COnventional objectives are thrown to the wayside. The goal here is to make a multiplayer game that makes people go, "wow."

I have yet to see a single map that is asymetric, while having a symetric gamemode (if its that what you mean).

Well I guess I just intended for the map to be asymmetric, regardless of game mode, but that could include asymmetric CTF/CP or what have you.

I personaly dislike Gorge style. Too linear. However, if this was expanded to Gorge style AND 3CP Gravelpit style, then Im all for it!

Just make it a one-stage CP contest then, so every variation can enter - including Steel and Observatory like setups.

What do people want to see for mini-contests between the current and next contest (since we've already picked its whole premise.)
