Wait what? We can't start until tomorrow? That's retarded

I'm in.

It the 5th already for me so... I can start? ehe eh! nah I wait till 5th in the U.S.....

piss of xD one day more or less doesnt matter when you have 3 months time xD
ahli and i are still planing today

I already stated that it's not the theme devilesk, it's the stupid tileset rule... because we all know people in deserts don't get winter also >.>!
I was going to make a map, and probably still will, but i'm just annoyed that you're suffocating my creativity >.>!

lulz...

It must be on the arctic tileset? What if I want to be creative and have winter in space? I don't believe it snows up there.

Just kidding. I'm not doing that, but making it a requirement to be on the ice tileset is restrictive. Someone might be really creative and have winter in the desert work somehow.

Really though. What if you wanted to make a map where you had to collect acorns to prepare for winter? It wouldn't necessarily have to be on the Ice tileset, but it would very much fit the theme of 'winter'.

file size limits?
All other contests had one I think. But I don't really care how big the map will be as long as it is singleplayer. Bad that I plan to make a multiplayer map...

See I had idea's that would of been tileset or ashworld just because it adds to the lul of it, but since it HAS to be the arctic tileset there goes creativity out the window, and why are we limited to two people, I never understood this, it doesn't get exponentially easier with more people, there's a lot more communication and generally you will end up with a bigger product meaning it should be rated slightly harder, three people is as advantageous as two people, so I dislike that rule a bit as well, but i'm willing to let it slide, just I find it hard to believe that the sahara desert has never had a winter...

not being forced to do parallell clears some things up...starts thinking up ideas for the remake of a map he once had and made but was long lost...hell...all i can remember is the basic story and the map sucked...made it before i learned of other SC editors.
just joking

Yes indeed it does block alot of ideas. Since you could somewhat have a winter type map in space like your homeworld is on an " Asteroid " or something that pretty much like icy winterish place. Could even say it a Desert winter, where it arid land of desolated desertish winter meh w/e. Random thoughts on my behalf. Already somewhat thought out my storyline based on Arctic terrain / winter themed so kinda set just need to do terrain /; triggers n the map. fun fun fun.

Alright! I'm in. I doubt i'll win but It's an excuse for me to not be lazy and make another movie map.

I'm for parallel/dimensional, I didn't see this thread so I'll just copy the PM I sent to pigy_g on it so you all can see my reasoning:

Myself and many others I've talked to feel that a Parallel/Dimension theme would leave us with a greater field of creativity than a winter one. It's an idea not often touched upon, and consequently there is a lot of freedom and originality to be had there.
The problem with the Winter theme is that while there is sure to be maps very different in function and dynamic, they will all hold a similar feel in having the same tileset. Winter is also too broad, anyone could make any map and just tailor it to winter. There are virtually no parameters to what we can do (except that it is restricted to a similar feel), which makes it very difficult for people to home in on a specific thesis for their map.
We are skilled mappers here and tackling a more competitive theme gives us greater purpose.

It doesn't have to be snowy everywhere in the world, isn't it like Los Angelas or w.e where it has only snowed like a handful of times?

Abominable Snowman needs a friend RPG.scm

you can make it on any tileset, I don't care. I'll remove what I said about it, It was a joke..
