Oh God yes. Super, make that happen!
If this is not made an official contest, then someone should do it unofficially, its such a good idea.
One problem, personally I don't have 14 days in a row for doing a non-stop mapping.

I think we deffinately need some more speed mapping contests.
The next official contest will probably be a mini-detail constest (which i'm looking forward too).
But deffinately need some speed mapping. The 72 hours contest was a HUGE success. Plus my self motivation sucks without deadlines set by other people.

I'd like to see a detailing contest revolving around some strict guidelines, like some prop must be used, an overlay implemented, etc. I think that stuff like this will bring out the creative side of our mappers and create some new and unusual styles of detailing.
Or not, I might just be bad.

for novices (like me) a speed/72 hour contest is great, providing the best incentives to get on and make a working (if not finished) map. if you know your way around the basics in hammer you can have a good stab at it, and you'll learn loads in the process without wasting too much time -- something i feel is a big disincentive having spent a lot of time to no avail, and losing faith (temporarily).
i'd quite like to see a speed mapping contest which works in two stages. 72 hours before first submission, then a round of prelim votes (over a weekend, perhaps), whittling down the candidates by around half. then allow a further 48-72 hours for a little extra polish before a final submission, more protracted testing, and a last vote. what i've noticed about the current 72 hours contest is that a lot of the maps have been patched up and improved markedly in the days following their submission, and this might be incorporated into the contest like this. it's just a thought.

as long as the ents are already set up >_>
Why? ent set up takes 10-20 minutes tops.
Copy/paste boojum's stuff, shift+drag path_tracks and you're done.
Payload map with a looping!
hey hey can I do one too? ^^
For the next 'minimal contest' - no models allowed, not even doors or resupply crates, no can not be a model! So how are you supposed to model it? Use light!
I'd really love to see what trickery can someone do to achieve that.
