2006 Mapping competition.

Quote from Bl1tz

I certainly wish you good luck with your contest by all means I just don't think you're going to have many skilled mappers who want to make giant sealed-off rooms.

Do you have any idea how many skilled mappers I know now, who could have benefited from a contest like this back in 99/00?

Do you have any idea how many skilled mappers I know now, who work for gaming on a professional level, who started off unskilled?

Don't hand me that useless thinking bub.

The idea is to have fun. If fun to you is only playing your creation, you have a bit to go yet on skill yourself. :roll:

I need people to vote in this new thread please.. Thanx.

Ending date looks like July 1. I will wait till Sunday, or Monday to decide.

Hurry and cast your votes soon.

On the front page of this site, the link still says "Classifieds"

Here, it says "Mod recruitment"

The thread isn't about mods, not really although all mods for HL are permitted within the competition.

My concern is, the thread got more replies under classifieds than recruitment.

I hope that no one feels its placement is a bad thing.

Anyway, the competition is proceeding on schedule. I will post in depth details later today.

Be good.

Two poll threads were taken at Snarkpit. The most popular results are now posted in the Official Snarkpit 2006 competition thread.

Please take a moment to scan the guidelines and rules. You may reconsider joining afterward. Whether its to join, or to back out will be the only question that remains.

Have a good day gents and thanx for taking the time to read the thread.

Thread died. I guess it didn't matter where it was located.

*shrugs*

This thread? Or the snarkpit one?

Actually, they all have died somewhat. I guess since the start date is May 1st, that this should be expected.

I know for a fact that many are working on maps, in advance and cannot really say so.

Myself, I just updated steam to make sure that I was ready to begin. I am so lazy that I was afraid that if I waited, steam would bork out on my at the last minute.

Anyway.. I'd had hoped for some banter.

Tomorrows the day Gents.

Contest began, without so much as a ripple.

Post those WIP images soon gents.

*bumps*

Been 15 days. Anyone have any WIP screens to post?

We have 7 mostly confirmed entries so far.. Does anyone here have anything new to post yet?

Just a reminder folks. Only Snarkpit members have the option of voting. The site doesn't allow for non-members to post in the forums. I assume thats a set standard for many sites now.

Anyway, It will be a bit annoying to see the membership roster swell the day after the comp ends, just to spam the votes.

Get yourself registered now, to avoid the... Accusations that will assuredly come up.

Thanx,

Orph
