ooo. this is my first map... and all these others seem to have a lot of EXP under their belts... Is storyline a big factor?

I think that would be a product of originality...

A storyline is a storyline. If it sucks, it won't get many originality points. If the game is unique, say "LOLSAILBOATRACEONICE" you might get originality points.

but my story tends to dart off in like 936897^4 different directions... but it'll most definitely be original

and does anybody like doing terrain? cause i'm trigger happy and everytime i start terrain i make a new 'location' and start going crazy with triggers n such...

Well good luck, our map: Lost City, is coming out pretty well. I always enjoy good competition though.

In other words, you won't be submitting your map for the tourney, and will ever finish it.

oh i'll finish, but it may bounce around quite a bit...

me want.... PM me

Are EUD triggers legal?

Yes any triggers are allowed, however MODDING is not.

You can also use any editor.

Does that include a hex & text editor?

our maps getting close to being done...

watch out for it

People are saying that mine is more original and inventive than Pirate Dyne, look out! >:D

I am still working on the base systems, but it is slightly playable. You can actually die easy as it is, so... I'm having fun you all know, hehe. Soon, my map will devour yours. In it's sleep.

ehhh can i drop out of the contest now? i have too many real life issues right now.

There is no signing up or dropping out. Only presenting a valid map when the time comes. So yes, you can discontinue whenever you want.

AHEM!

I Will be the offical rule enfrocer..... What he said.

http://www.staredit.net/topic/5194/ Its coming, this winter...

I'd volunteer to be a judge, but Idk if I will still be around by the end of December. I still haven't decided if I want to make a map for this contest or not though. Maybe santa with a flamethrower? lol.
