The Summer 2016 7.2 Hour Contest!

[Diva Dan]

Just to practice I made some cliffs. Took about 50 minutes-

If anyone wants to copy this look I used the jungle rock blends and bulletcrops sand and water. For the trees I obviously used the ones from Frontline! and the sky is from Frontline! too.

7.2hrs aye? That's enough time I think to make a Territorial Control map.

I'll be incredibly dissapointed if I don't see a Territorial Control map. You're gonna have to sniff cocaine before you start cracking at it!

PS: If someone makes a enjoyable 3 stage PL map in that time, i'll give him/her an additional price. Haven't yet thought of it, but i will.

So, i actually wasn't serious when i suggested a 3 stage PL map. But i've been talking about it in chat, and if the staff doesn't have a problem with it and someone really wants to try, i'd like to give out an additional price for that.

So, if you manage to create an enjoyable 3 stage PL map (contest rules apply, "enjoyable" just means that i don't want you to half-ass it,) i'll give out, with respect to the jam medal:

Specialized Killstreak Strange Citizen Pain Mini-Gun (Factory New)

Yes, that's the Jimijam Minigun. It holds quite some sentimental value for me (although it's only valued at like 2 keys) so make it worth it

you going to choose your favorite 3 stage or what? I know at least two people plan on making them.

7.2 hr "who can make litterally the most layout for a payload map" contest confirmed

 

[DrLambda]

I honestly didn't expect that. I'd say that i'd get a second one of those guns, but depending on the number of entries, i might run out of money before everyone has his weapon.
I'd say i'll figure out a runner-up price in case that there are actually 2+ people crazy enough to do it, and them hand out those prices in order of how they placed in the contest. Does that sound fair?

 

[MoonFox]

I wish I could join, but I'm moving into college soon, so no... GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE THO
(currently revamping a map, and making it not Halloween)

 

[Vert]

I'm literally going on vacation from the 27th to the 4th. This is my luck in a nutshell.

 

[Diva Dan]

Last minute question- can the game mode for a gameplay entry be non-serious or must it be a traditional game mode like koth or cp? It may or may not be something considered "serious" enough. I have a map planned for an infection-style game mode.

 

[LeSwordfish]

It doesn't need to be a "serious" map at all - just be aware that that's what you'll be up against.
