Title: Mapping Contest 2.0
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 03, 2006, 03:37:01 AM: How many people would be up for another mapping contest with updated rules? One that perhaps Robotam and Myself probally wouldn't be entering to compete in? Would people be interested in doing this, or do you think one was enough for the year. Post your comments please.

Get over yourself.
I'd enter, and try this time... -_-

You're so arrogant and you act like you're such a great mapper just because you won the last contest and people have said your mapping's great. Boasting about it doesn't really do anything for you except make you look like more of an *** than you already are.

On another note, I wouldn't mind trying the contest, but it depends on my actual time.

Post by: DragonBlaze on February 03, 2006, 04:03:28 AM: Sure I'll enter it. The only reason meis won is because I didn't enter the last one :p Hehe, no one has seen any of the maps I've made in the past year, so I'll take everyone by surprise, mwahahahaha!!!

Seriously though, you should enter the contest and give someone a chance to beat you.

Post by: Linkforce on February 03, 2006, 04:07:17 AM: Oh yeah! I'm in. I won the forrest (I think), so I think I got a chance. Let's role! :D

Post by: Robotam on February 03, 2006, 07:48:25 AM: You mind waiting a few weeks (as in 2-3) so that I could enter? oo'
I've got so much on me now.

Post by: Razor on February 03, 2006, 08:13:01 AM: And I'm absolutely sure you wouldn't all have reacted the same way if Robotam was the one that said what Meiscool had said.
Title:
Post by: Robotam on February 03, 2006, 08:15:46 AM: True.

Probably. That's probably one of the reason I wouldn't enter. The way it was said, it was more of a contest to boost a certain ego.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 03, 2006, 07:46:04 PM: I was just saying that because I heard a few people say that they didn't want to enter because they didn't think they had a chance against me or Robotam, nothing saying I'm the best.

Plus, I wanted to be a judge instead of actually competing in this. Not everything I say is ment to be an "ego" booster. In fact, I've said in many occasions that Robotam is the better mapper of us two, but do you try to look for that, no.

Post by: drenrin2120 on February 03, 2006, 10:29:20 PM: Sounds good to me, I might enter, might not.
Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on February 03, 2006, 10:32:59 PM: I never really paid attention to the first contest, whats the rules/guidlines and all?
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 03, 2006, 10:52:58 PM: They will be changed, Robotam and I are talking it over, and are thinking of the idea of a mapping turnament. So far, we'll have chipset catagories rather then mountain and etc, as well as a catagory where you can choose the size of your map and show us the entire thing rather then a screen shot, but most maps will just be a screenshot.

Again, we're still talking it over.

Hmm, I'll only enter if its just the screenshots. A lot of my mapping has to do with the effects I add (shadows, fog, light, etc.), plus I use a lot of events in mapping (such as the splash effects for a waterfall), and showing the entire thing won't show them.

Well rmxp has 2x the resolution, it doesn't have any restrictions size or color wise. I know back when I was using rmxp I made some very sweet maps, the thing is I don't know if it'd be fair if you could use them. Personally I wouldn't mind, but its up to Meiscool and Robotam, or whoever the judges are.

Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on February 04, 2006, 12:49:11 AM: RMXP maps can be drop dead gorgeous.
Title:
Post by: SaiKar on February 04, 2006, 02:27:45 AM: If you guys want, I can sanction this as an Official Charas Contest and have the moderator staff judge entries and hand out little lame medals and stuff to the winners.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 03:00:51 AM: Please, if not in this one, then in the next? one, please set a specific chipset. I've already explained why this would be a good idea in the last map contest, so keep it in mind.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 04, 2006, 03:18:58 AM: I've already set seperations between Rudra, Mac and Blue, and etc. I will not do what you request though Archem, because certin people are only good with certin chips, and it would be unfair to set a Mac and Blue chip for everyone when (Example Ace) uses Rudra mostly, but would be weakened because of this. Plus, it will get really boring.

Now, if we stick with the toury idea, if two people vs one another, then we might choose a chip that they will be forced to both used so it's based all on skill, but other then that, your idea is shot to me.
Title:
Post by: coasterkrazy on February 04, 2006, 04:35:19 AM: I'd enter a lot more in this one than I did last one regardless of the rules.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 04:53:27 AM: Oh well. At least I tried. I only suggested it because I can never seem to find a chipset that works very well, often having huge (or at least oddly noticable) problems. Mebe you could post a few good sets or some sites where good ones can be found. Then I might be able to find something worthwhile. I hate the results from google, they usually turn up the imperfect ones I mentioned.

You're our man.. As in "sure, that'd be great".
Then I also think we should keep the tournament idea, it'll give more action to the contest.

Post by: DarkFlood2 on February 04, 2006, 12:26:55 PM: I'll join again... And post more than one map this time!
Title:
Post by: Shadowless1 on February 04, 2006, 02:55:03 PM: ill join i think my mapping skills are rather good

tournament idea sounds cool
Title:
Post by: Robotam on February 05, 2006, 04:55:43 PM: This is how I was thinking. If we're going to have a tournament with one-one battles I think we should skip the idea of having any categories at all. A tournament is about battles and there can only be one winner and he can only win with one map.
And I also think we should keep the 20x15 size rule. It somehow makes things easier, having a tournament and with all different sizes.. it's just confusing and people will just judge the map by how big it is.
What is concerning me the most is if we're going to have a vote system where majority rules. Or if we're going to have one or more judges to judge a winner in every battle. This time I don't want just any judges out of the blue, I want heavy aess judges. In other words someone with great mapping skills.

Sounds fine with me.

Same here.

Post by: Desimodontidae on February 05, 2006, 11:11:48 PM: Get some guidlines made out. Ill think about entering.

Post by: Noobpwner on February 06, 2006, 01:41:49 AM: Im entering cause I need to practice making maps so this could be the way :D
Title:
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on February 08, 2006, 07:10:26 PM: Robotam convinced me har har. Or at least talked to me about it enough for me to say "I suck but see where I end up"
Title:
Post by: Robotam on February 09, 2006, 02:32:19 PM: For those who doesn't know what a tournament is (if any) I'll post a picture right here.

Of course our tournament will hopefully be a lot bigger than this.

I'm going to ask you all, what would you like to see... a voting system that decides the winner or judges once again?
Title:
Post by: carmen on February 09, 2006, 03:09:29 PM: so wait....you're going to do a vs.? instead of just over all best?
well I really hope you fall get into it, you'll have to make more then one voice.

unless you want to use the same one and just compare. I dunno
Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on February 09, 2006, 08:16:06 PM: Count me in. Last time was fun.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 09, 2006, 08:26:17 PM: Voting might take a long time, but judges can be bias.

You already know my opinion Robotam, but to tell the people, I favor having Judges.
Title:
Post by: blackskullwarlock on February 09, 2006, 08:29:15 PM: Judges are always a good idea. They're used in most, if not all, contests. Beauty, bodybuilding, routine, videogames, talent shows, amongst others. My two cents.
Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on February 11, 2006, 07:40:10 PM: Well, I believe I've gotten enough support and feedback on the idea, so as soon as Robotam gets on MSN while I am and we sort out a few more things, I guess we'll start this.
Title:
Post by: Shadowless1 on February 11, 2006, 08:11:47 PM: how bout this, we have one person keeping votes and votes a pm'ed to them and when the time is up the winner is the 1 with most votes by pm
Title:
Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on February 11, 2006, 08:22:16 PM: I like the idea...
Title:
Post by: MrMister on February 11, 2006, 09:37:27 PM: Voting can be biased too :)
I think judges work, as long as they are impartial.
Title:
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on February 19, 2006, 05:41:28 AM: BUMPED!!!

on note, people are not following the threal map submitting thing on the other thread.

on other note i like how the tournament thing looks

You can always pick ppl at random (do a name drawing :D)and match them and judge them.
This way can very much also get the best out of the rest.

hopefully you'll do it this way.... it's just so different from other ways that is cool. and well different.

I also want a thread to comment on =/ what fun is a contest if you're only gonna watch and not tlak about itin within the arena.
Title:
Post by: Kijuki_Magazaki on February 24, 2006, 06:04:52 AM: *bumps* there was ever a due date <.< who are the mods of this contest? besides robbie.
Title:
Post by: Robotam on February 24, 2006, 08:57:27 AM: Yeah, this is really meant to be the talk thread. And the other one just for submitting maps, but people won't listen to me.

You're right Kiju, that's pretty much the way it will be. I'm going to have the judges announce one battle at a time too. I'd like to call that 'top grade A tension'.

Me and Meiscool is pretty much the mods over the contest.
