Are you going to make any map-making contests?

There was a summer contest just a little while back.

ya the maps were due by the 30th

Yeah I know. I think monthly map contests should be revived without noobish themes. I think standard map themes should be used. Example: RPG, Bound, Etc.

yes plz, i mean a huge problem with the community is the "omfg im too lazy tp finish this map"
doing it becuase it makes u all warm and fuzzy inside jsut isnt good enough anymore.... WE WANT MINRAWLS!

I didn't plan on making maps LOL.

Anyone is free to start their own contest, and put their own minerals up for a prize. Nothing's stopping you.

I think the fact that you have to give away your own minerals to a contest is stopping people...

i mean hey i would do it if,

A) i had already bought a name color change store item
B) Had enough minerals to get people intrested
C) People were intrested in contests that I make

gamma....I FROWN UPON YOO.

On the note of contests, they should not be so long. A week is plenty of time to make a contest map; and if people are busy, they're busy. But at least you'll get some maps...

I think 2 weeks to a month is a good period of time. It gives you some time to think, some time to relax, etc.

It also gives people time to put the contest off until there's no time left.

No, it gives time for people to make a map that they will want to play more than once, I don't want to waste a week making a crap map that will never be played again.

41 people signed up. 3 maps were submitted on time. You didn't finish yours either. Clearly, too much time was given.

I would have finished my map had my grandma now taken up the computer with scrabble, and are you trying to say that giving even less time is going to make people have better maps? Sure, more maps are submitted, but I would rather have 3 maps I will play again than 40 piece of crap maps that made me want to kill myself while I played them.

Will you ever play those 3 maps again?
