Contest idea thread!

[McNuggetFiend]

I would love for my server to sponsor some sort of mapping competition, like help with the bill on a prize or something. Especially if it was a Koth/Arena or Attack Defend CP mapping contest.

What ever the contest is, we need one that will produce maps that people beg valve to officilize, like Cashworks.

I'd rather just see maps that people like to play, official or not.

Domination (3+ point cp and defend, gain points every x seconds you hold a cp until a team reaches y points)

You mean like dom_complex and dom_canalzone ?

Has there already been a collab contest? Something that pairs more experienced mappers with less experienced (but promising) mappers could be interesting. You would cut down on the total # of entries as well, which would make judging easier.

No custom gamemodes please. Valve won't support them, people dont know how to play them, people dont know how to design them. In short, no.

I can speak from experience from hosting my pub, it is hard enough to get players to play custom maps, make it so they don't understand the object from the get go and bam, a server that was full goes to the handful of regulars in just a couple minutes. It sucks, but its the truth.

I'd like to see a contest that reintroduces the swamp theme, without it just being a focus on just detailing.

How about a competitive capture the flag contest?

Fascinating idea, chum.

I would like to play these, but only the truly experience mappers such as your self could enter for a hope of winning.

Now don't start this mess again.

Care to elaborate?

Basically, collab ideas don't do very well. It's an oversimplification, but it's true.

I think a collaboration contest has been discussed extensively.

I see. That's unfortunate.

Well it might work better as an ongoing program if people were willing to lend their time, instead of it being a contest. But the whole point of the forums is to get community help anyway, but a 'big brother' mapper could be useful I suppose.
