Putting this out there, since Pi day is coming up we should have a 3.14 hour contest B)

I can't imagine what the timer would have to look like...

Any likelihood of a April Fools 2017 contest?

 

[Diva Dan]

It's been said that there won't be one but there will be a gameday

I have an idea for a contest.
A template map with dev textures, no detail, and minor to major unbalances will be given for those who enter the contest. The mappers will need to give detail to the map and fix the unbalanced parts within a span of 5-15 days. Mappers must also give a name to the map. When mappers finish the map, they must submit the map to the downloads section under the tag "Edit Contest". After the 15 day period, 3 winners will be picked and will be able to keep their map on the downloads section while others have theirs deleted from the section, but have accessible download links from the database in a thread.

Wasn't there an Artpass Contest a long time ago?

Yup

There was some discussion about how a new one would go down on the previous page, too.

[Crash]

So would we

 

[Etasus]

So, question: which is coming first: BATT or Artpass? I've heard rumors of both floating around...

 

[Erk]

Yup

I really see sometimes how much I've missed, while looking through this site. I see stuff like from 2008 by Boojum Snark and tons of other people that have moved on to other stuff, while I just got here.

I had no idea that stuff like this has been going on, and I have no idea how I'm gonna catch up or even if I'll get to the same level of all these other people that have been doing this much longer than I have.

Spoiler

I still could always be a mailman though

Thing is though, as older mappers move away, newer mappers come in and take their place. Keep working hard and you might land yourself as the next Booj.

There's been a whoooole load of contest in the past here, like the Dynamic Payload contest and ACTF/PLR contest; which have a lot of stunning maps but unfortunately unheard of and unplayed nowadays.

Is there going to be another 7.2 hour detailing contest?
I quite enjoyed it last year, and I think the contest would be fun even if it was converted to the Jam format.

 

[DrSquishy]

Being given a sort of basic layout for a 5cp/KOTH map. It has no textures/ just the dev ones and the only models are some very basic ones. From there we are given a few themes(Halloween, industrial, abandoned industrial, snowy, natural ETC) and we have a set amount of time(1 or 2 weeks) to transform this basic map into the theme given. Control points can be moved a little to suit the purposes but the general layout can't be changed(if there are 2 flank routes, one could be made into a tunnel and the other could go above, but it has to stay as 2 flank routes)
A good idea?

That is what detailing contests are for and your idea is exactly what the first contest to give out medals, the Artpass Contest, did.
