crap, my evil clone (Cytostolic) is trying to take over my contest entry! Or maybe it's been... misspelled.

One of my only favorite moments from my twitch steam:

 

[Lain]

I'll be competing on the 3rd. Not exactly sure if / how i announce or set that up.

 

[LeSwordfish]

There's a sign-up sheet in the OP.

 

[andonin]

Today I did nothing but drink coffee and map, time to sleep I suppose!

One of my only favorite moments from my twitch steam:

You should look at my preperation notes:
"2,) use carve to save time, fuck other people"

Week One Complete!

The first week is finished! We have 21 entries and some dubious cases.

@Mikroscopic @Uncuepa @Diva Dan @DrLambda @ScotOfTheDay @Jeddyk @NickTF @Zloykotara @NotUrAFaget @14bit @Yrr @KubeKing @Idolon @Davekillerish @FGD5 @Another Bad Pun @Hi5TBone @Paper Shadow @ibex @CASCADIAL @DaDema, you all entered on time or got a grace period from a staff member. Your entries are through.

@Malachite Man @imperialist @Cytosolic @Funnystuf @RodionJenga @andonin you are all late! Malachite and Andonin are both several hours late in fact. What is the reason for this? Were you given a grace period by someone else and I forgot? If there isn't a good reason, your entries are not valid!

There are about twenty more entries in the schedule for next week, and the sign-up sheet is still open - If you think what you saw looked fun, then feel free to put your name down.

Quick question about the detail contest: Is it alright if I remake an old map section (the cp_raven last point), but with heavily improved aesthetics/detailing? I won't copy-paste anything, I'll just be transferring over the general layout of the area.

 

[Yrr]

if you arent directly using old brushwork it should be fine

 

[Corvatile]

So long as you build everything entirely from scratch I don't think it's a problem. You can reuse generic layouts and themes, just don't straight-up use anything from the map file.

I was given a grace period by Crash to fix a map extents are too large error (invalid solids). My latest map update should be within an hour of the original deadline. Although, due too some game breaking bugs in the map, my entry is probably still invalid.https://tf2maps.net/members/crash.7341/

I do remember that now - thanks. You're fine.

 

[imperialist]

Mine was a little late because I had a few problems packing the Frontline textures. I'll have another go next weekend, and hopefully finish on time!

 

[Malachite Man]

Wait what I thought I was suppose to work on my entry at 8 PM though I entered my entry earlier cause I had an unexpected event I HAD to entent to so was I enter earlier also I did make it in less that 7 hours in you don't believe me that is totally fine anyway my enter was not that either so you have all rights to say I was late .

 

[Funnystuf]

Hmm? My entry should have been valid. I started at 8:00 PM UTC (3:00 PM my time,) and entered around 2:00 AM UTC (9:00 PM my time), which was an hour before my deadline. Unless I signed up wrong, I don't see why I was late.

Edit: I started on Saturday, just to let you know.

 

[Davekillerish]

Can I do it again? Like 2 entries?

 

[dryerlint]

I think you can, yeah. According to the OP:

You may enter both weekends once each. You may not work on the same project for both weekends - each weekend must be a separate, contained project you worked on only within the given time.

You started your entry at 8am not 8PM. Please read the rules more carefully in future, though in this case it is allowable.

Ah yes, sorry - miscounted hours. You're good.
