.::Mapping Contest::.
Meh, I was very bored having lost my RPG Maker for a week so I decided to start this. I am looking for at least 4 people ready to join a mapping contest. They must be prepared to make any map I ask them too, here are the rules.
Rules:
Only 4 mappers can join the contest, once 4 mappers have entered noone else can join unless one of them forfits!
All maps will be made with RPG Maker XP, with RTP Tilesets.
Any map I ask you to make will not be bigger than 50x50. (I know its small but meh)
I require 2 more judges as well. When all maps for the particular round have been entered me, and my 2 other judges will rate the maps out of 10, whoevers rating is highest, wins that round, and the lowest is kicked out of the contest! This means that there are 3 rounds in total!
Contestants:
-GilgameshRO
-dragonmagna - (ELIMINATED)
-Zxmelee
-RedEyeDragoon - (ELIMINATED)
Judges:
-ThatsMyPie
-HaloOfTheSun
_____________________________________________________________________
All maps I request must be posted here within 2 days of the request, so make sure you are active if you wish to play, if all people have posted thier work under the deadline then we will continue to contest!
A PM will be sent when the deadline is reached, and when a new map request has been posted!
_____________________________________________________________________
Check this post for new requests, and deadlines!

-
May I be a judge?
-
Well of course Halo!
-

But im too busy with KF, ill be a judge though.
-
lol ok, whatever you say dwarra, judge it is.
(I bet if he did join no one else would)
-
I'll enter.
-
This is a good idea.
We should have more of these!
Btw. I won't join.
-
Anyone else going to enter? I can't really compete against myself.
-
This is a good idea.
We should have more of these!
Btw. I won't join.
My thoughts exactly, it was inspired by your event trivia Zeriab!
I think their should be a separate forum for competitions and stuff.
-
I'll enter too, just to see how I do.
-
I'll be a contestant.
-
I... Wish to try I suppose.
-
Is it too late to sign up?
-
Nevermind... I'll withdraw so that Melee will have a spot..
I'll probably lose anyway...
-
I'll join,it sounds fun.
-
Shame ark bennett, but anyway we have our four contestants so I think we are ready to begin.
Check my first post to view the current request, also a PM has been sent to the contestants and judges notifying that the game has begun.
-
Woah! Whadda bout me?
I'll enter too, just to see how I do.
-
I didn't get a PM. Oh well.

Theres my entry. *o*
-
You're supposed to show the map in-game too.
I didn't get a PM either. >_>
-
Is that a fortress? I don't see any events in which the player could teleport out of the house...

Would have posted earlier, but I was havin' some internet problems.
A question though, CAN we use events to pretty it up?
Also, I think it would be nice if maps were graded on functionality as well, however I suppose that would make things a bit more complicated.
Zxmelee... I don't think you are using the right tileset...
-
Meh
These houses are all the same :whoa:
Interior is just stupid :O_o:
-
Thats not a good thing to hear for a judge!~
-
Its a town interior tileset, Snow Town.
-
Thats not a good thing to hear for a judge!~
It's a little hard to make maps that dwarra likes.

If I aint too late ?
Its a little lame... but may aswell play the game.. !!! LOL
-
The contest has already started and there are already four contestants. Besides this is interiors of houses...not interiors of caves.
-
Tell that too the Flintstones...LOL
-
The Flinstones had a house cave...with furniture and a kitchen...doors and windows. That doesn't resemble anything of the sort :wink:
-
wtf land of shadows? IS that everyones maps? *checks*
-

I find it weird that people who aren't even in the competition have entered themselves, and people who are in are using the wrong tileset. Its not hard to read one sentence.
Apparently,3 people so far used the right chipset, 1 used the wrong one, and 1 wasn't even a contestant and submitted it with the wrong chipset as well. LAME! What is wrong with people?
BTW, why is the deadline November 3, 2006?
Someone doesn't know which month it is....(3, not 11)
-
He's from England, so I assume he means March 11th.
-
Red Eye used the wrong tileset too... Not like it makes much of a difference. A house is a house is a house is a house.
-
it said inside town tileset so i assumed i could use any inside tile set
-
Ok, well everyones maps are in early, so time for the judges verdict!
I know all of the maps look the same and I made the retarded mistake for settting that as an assignment.
So Judges, if you havn't read this slready I will have PM'ed you asking for your verdict (PM it to me and I shall post it) I need a mark out of 5 for each map from you, all marks will be totaled by me and my mental maths skills (lol)
As for contestants, your new assignment has been set for you!

I would give you a pic of this in-game, but I'm on the internet now and for some reason, my comp can't play games when I'm online(not rpg maker games anyway). This is my second forest map ever, and definitely the biggest(not that big, though). BTW, this is a contest right? So who are the three remaining contestants? Or are we waiting for the judges to decide? If I lose(Which I shouldn't have since I was one of the few who used the right chip and right chip size. But If im bad, I'm bad), then I take back submitting that.
-
My vote goes for gilgameShro or however its spelt :roll:

Yeah... I didn't read the rules... Thought it would be open to all... and all maps... like the CHAR set Comp...
Think its lame only 4 people can enter... and that the comp is SO restricted... Interiors are boring and Forests aint much better...
I know I aint a judge or an entry placer... and I am Lame for not reading the rules... LOL (I never read rules or DIY instructions as a RULE...LOL)
___________________________________________________________________
dragonmagna - Sorry Your maps are very basic... the Forest looks ugly, too Busy, very repetative and un-intresting... No Path's no sense of direction, random placement... I mean how many Red Fugi type of plants can the eyes take...LOL... and the dead tree's would look better on dead grass... over all out of 10.... 4/10
Your interior is lacking, no light from the windows... whats the point in the bit at the bottom (The outer wall...Pointless)... You have the Kitchen (green tiled area) so far away from the fire-place it does not ring true, IE the frying pan on the wall, whats it there for ?...The bed placement sucks, if thats a bedroom its too large and has too many odd things a bout it... The only thing I do like is your 3rd Layer usage with the placement of nick nacks... like the teddy and the books on top of shelves and the Cups and tea pot... 6/10
____________________________________________________________________
Zxmelee - is cool !! (Both are good and above Average) Both would get a 7/10 if I was rating them.... (Like the desk with the two candles on, makes sense as it no place close to the windows...)
___________________________________________________________________
Gilgomesh - Your Interior is great... like the use of the sheets on the bed, so it looks correct when in it.... every thing fits well... nothing looks out of place... 9/10 (Attention to detail is spot on... Can't wait to see your Forest)
____________________________________________________________________
Red Eye Dragoon - Still to enter...LOL
-
Ok, heres the verdict for the last round!
HaloOfTheSun:
Dragonmagna: 3/5
Zxmelee: 3/5
GilgameshRO: 4/5
Red Eye Dragoon: 2/5
ThatsMyPie:
Dragonmagna: 3/5
Zxmelee: 2/5
GilgameshRO: 5/5
Red Eye Dragoon: 2/5
Here are all the scores added together!
Dragonmagna: 6/10
Zxmelee: 5/10
GilgameshRO: 9/10
Red Eye Dragoon: 4/10
Unfortunatly Red Eye Dragoon is OUT of the competition. Meaning we have only 3 contenders remaining!
Also Dwarra did not give a proper verdict so he is no longer a judge!
ALSO I realise it took quite some time for everyone to post thier maps so the deadline has been raised and GilgameshRO has until the 15th to post or he is out of the competition!
-
Dragonmagna - 2nd... What the devil....!!! :shock:
Make me a Judge... (In place of Dwarra)
My Interior Awards !!
landofshadows
Dragonmagna: 1/5
Zxmelee: 3/5
GilgameshRO: 4/5
Red Eye Dragoon: 0/5
-
Hehe, thanks for the extention. I had just come on to resign, assuming I wouldn't get a chance to make it in. :?
-
I say don't let landofshadows be a judge because he seems to be too concerned with getting me out of the competition. Zxmelee definitely has a better forest map than me, mine was pretty bad, there just weren't enough trees(why am I judging when I'm a contestant?!)
Cool, I'm in 2nd! quarter finals!(I think. :oops: ) :D :shock:
-
I'm pretty low right now, I'm in trouble!
-
dragonmagna - I don't want you out...
Its just your forrest looks like you sneezed it onto the screen... its Random laying of shite...LOL
And Your Interior is just rushed... no planning, not realistic enough... what house have you ever seen with a layout as cack as that...LOL
dragonmagna - Look at yours and compare it to the others thats all I am doing... I rated Red eye Dragon Lower than you...
I spoke to Thatsmypie last night (on MSN)... he aint going to make me a judge... :(
(I think a Final between zx and Gilgo will be a better final than between dragonmanga and Gilgo)
-
I know it is due day for you... For me I still have half an hour left till the 15th. I was just wondering, is there an exact time it has to be in by? I am working on it right now, but I don't know if I am already to late or if I have time or what.
-
I say, just finish it up. Don't worry about the limit.
-
Well, Gilgamesh has until 3:00pm today (british time)
to submit his map or else he is out of the contest!
-
You could help me out a little and tell me what time it is for you as of a specific post. Or what + or - GMT british time is.
-
Right now it's 10:22 am here in the UK, so you have just over four and half hours left. :)
EDIT : Hold on, the forum is running on UK time anyway... Im confused. Good luck anyway.
-
I didn't know GMT is british time.~
Anyways, it is done. I am not satisfied but I have only myself to blame. I waited till the last minute so the quality suffered.

I also could have done better if allowed to use events for mapping purposes... but no one ever answered if I could or not.
-
Well, thats all the maps. Now I will PM halo asking for his verdict.
When the contest is narrowed down to 2 people A new thread shall be made, and 4 other requests shall be made for the final 2, (A new thread shall be made for this)
each request that is fullfilled, I shall give a certain amount of points to. When all 4 are done the points shall be tallyed, and the winner shall be known!
-
Thank gosh landofshadows isn't a judge. I'd be out without even getting a chance.
Anyways, I think I'm a gonna be out now, cause gilgamesh's map is so good.
-
I think my lateness should be taken into consideration when judging the maps.
-
Here is the verdict!
ThatsMyPie:
Dragonmagna: 0.5/5
GilgameshRO: 4/5
Zxmelee: 4/5
HaloOfTheSun:
Dragonmagma: 1.5/5
GilgameshRO: 3.5/5
Zxmelee: 3/5
Overall Scores:
Dragonmagna: 2/10
GilgameshRO: 7.5/10
Zxmelee: 7/10
Congrats Zxmelee and GilgameshRO! You are through to the finals!
Unfortunatly dragonmagna is OUT of the competition!
When Zxmelee and Gilgamesh post here I shall make a new thread called the mapping contest finals! This is where they must both make a map each and crankeye members vote! On the 25th of march the winner will be decided!
