MS paint, (NOT SKETCHUP), DOSpaint. All fine, as long as it's not hammer or something that can be easily converted to hammer.
EDIT: NO SKETCHUP

Following that, a serious question: there's no official sign-up for this, right? 'cause I may or may not get involved depending on how I feel about the theme and whether or not my current map is doing okay by then.
Just a quick tip to everyone, don't overwork yourselves! Make sure you get a good amount of rest between mapping sessions. Not only will it help keep you active and healthy, but ideas will spring to your mind while sleeping that you can put in your map.
That's what happens with me anyway.
Try it!

The theme was properly guessed (exactly!) today, and, as I said I would during the test, I released the theme + reference pack.
But, don't think this is over -just- yet. (See you tomorrow!)

Sure.
I have the perfect idea
mmmm... you still might want to see whats coming
Now I've seen the theme, I'm totally freaking out about how you'd create a map with the theme of alien attack without a single model or even a texture related to space. I ain't making that over 3 days. Frozen, you'd better deliver some peace to my mind with whatever you have in store tomorrow.
Also, totally call that the major mapping contest will be to make a moonbase map, using assets provided by Valve. And I am hyped. I actually vaguely predicted that the theme would be related to space when I was stalking you for a bit when you said the theme was related to your personal interests in the Kritzkast interview, but I disregarded it based upon the reasons above.

Make some! Propper should do you fine to make simple models with the limited time you have, you can always replace them with actual models after the contest.
And yeah, it's annoying we can't have this contest with the alien theme until AFTER the moonbase update, but oh well. We'll have to be more creative

I'm thinking the same thing. I can't imagine how I'm gonna shoehorn aliens into an undetailed alpha-state map in any sort of meaningful way, but I'm gonna wait until tomorrow before I criticize it I suppose.
