TF2Maps.net 72hr Contest #4 - Starts June 21st!

[Crash]

I just bought a Xsplit Personal account to up the quality of my stream.

I am monetarily invested in this contest!

I'll be at twitch.tv/ueakcrash

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Alright, IT'S ALMOST HERE!!!

If you will be streaming during the event, please tell me so I can get your twitch or livestream URL and post it here (and probably on reddit saying "Hey, we do this sh*t!).

Remind that on Friday, June 21st 2pm EST the mapping starts. I will be around at that time to kick things off. Any questions, please contact me immediately here or on steam!

Just a quick clarification; would there be any problems if I created a really basic version of my map in hammer ahead of time, so long as I completely re-create everything from scratch during the 72hrs? I'm already tossing some brushes around now to get warmed up/ get an idea for scale and layout, I just don't want anyone calling me out for cheating if I have that version opened up for reference while I work this weekend.

 

[Harribo]

Pretty sure that's fine Crash and people have done that previous 72hr contests. Rule 5 in the thread covers it.

As long as you start from scratch, it'll be fine. I consider this something along the lines of sketching out your map before the contest.

Frankly, I did it with cp_frozen a couple years ago.

Good, because I also did this with koth_aquifer last year.

Havent mapped in a long time, Now iv finished my education I can start again.

The rules say the contest starts "at 2PM EST on Friday June 21st", except the countdown is for "Friday, June 21, 2013 at 2:00:00 AM (Harrisburg time)".
I don't think this is consistent, if there is a way to fix the countdown then I recommend changing it to make things easier to understand. Thanks.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Whoooooops.

it's on military time. I'll fix it up now.

 

[Ælement]

all my what. "military time"?

For once i actually seemed to understand when the darn thing was supposed to take place <.<

 

[Crash]

Yeah, I thought it started today at 2PM EST but we just got an announcement saying it started already.

What?

edit: I guess the event is still saying 2PM today... Kind of weird it got posted early.

 

[LeSwordfish]

Guys, post this sort of shit in GMT. Everyone knows where they are compared to GMT. I have no idea what EST is to me.

 

[Trotim]

I've gotten so used to using countdowns I didn't even look at the stated time

 

[Fruity Snacks]

Sorry Sword, I'm about as crappy with GMT than you are with EST.

The contest begins 6 houts FROM THIS POST.

(6 hours and 5 minutes, to be exact)
