Contest idea thread!

[Micnax]

Still haven't had a shit map contest. We need more traingrids and ritalins.

This! We need more fun and silly contests, like the dev contest we had.

Guerrilla competition where we all submit to gamebanana and compete for the lowest rating.

Medieval contest?

Are you insane?

no fun contests we are more serious about mapping than valve

Any gametype, variant, whatever, but you must work exclusively on the 128 unit grid.

Medieval contest could happen, but is unlikely, for a few reasons.

We do the contests as a way to promote and help develop a gamemode, a long with helping developers improve themselves, in how they think, make design choices, etc. Medieval would good because you would really need to think differently about design theory and about the game mode in order to make something fun.

But, I doubt anyone will participate, because people are too stuck in the "it's too bad and it can't be saved" mentality. And as such, it probably won't happen.

EDIT: Ohai, 4k posts.

It's a good idea and i agree with design challenge argument. About medieval map contest obviously.

 

[Tarry H Sruman]

It's because it is bad and cannot be saved.

 

[Sel]

how about an ongoing contest that never ends where we all compete with ourselves to make great maps

Most psychedelic enviroment you can do.

entire map is nodraw

Entire map is player clip and block bullets.

I wouldn't mind a theme based contest, we've had a few British assets created over the years. An England themed map would be sweet. Any mode.

I second this.
Can Scotland be included?

I still contend that medieval CTF could work. Probably better than vanilla, even.

Yea, I think that could work too, but then you'd have scouts trying to get the flag, and everyone zerging on the point. Something like CSF might work. But instead, it'd be more sideways moving of the flag, than going back farther.

if by work better you mean it turns into the simplest game ever that no one with a brain plays more than once.
