So you all just spent 2½ months raging, sweating, selling your hats, just to create a perfect Mann vs Machine map, failing constantly, just because nothing works like it should. So now that it's March, you have a new task, to create the most wacky, crazy, dumb and original, April fools map.
Summary
You have about 1 month to create the most original and crazy map, that's in your opinion would be the best of the best for April fools. It's totally not, the map is awful, (just joking). It is up to you to decide what you want to add in your map, that would classify it as crazy or wacky and also original.
Rules
Deadline
The contest will end March 31st, 2013. There will be no submission thread. You will have to personal message me your map, just for the surprise.
Check your timezone!
Countdown
I will not accept any map sent to me after the submission deadline, so make sure you send it to me in time. Also, there will be no grace period, so make sure everything works.
Prizes
First Place.
Any game on steam (£15 max value)
Second Place.
Any game on steam (£10 max value)
Third Place.
Any game on steam (£5 max value)
Testing and Judging
There will be a test held on 31st March/1st April, featuring all maps that have been submitted. There may be more than one test, depending on amount of maps submitted, and people willing to play them.
Each map will be played for 20 minutes, or 15 minutes if there are 10+ maps to be played, just so playing all maps wouldn't take 4-5 hours.
A gameday thread will be posted on 31st March, 7 pm GMT time.
There will be a public vote thread open later on, where you will have to vote for your favorite April fools map, which you felt was the most suitable one. Voting will last for 1 week, so everyone will have a chance to play the maps.
Winners will be announced on 9th of April.
