Alrght..to keep keron from whining more (:p) and to make the voting process easier, this is the voting topic for the second round of the mapping contest. I've been very busy these past few weeks, so my apologies for delaying this contest as well as any projects I have going for people.

The Rules
* Voting is based off a combination Demonics and Dezonus' ideas. Vote on your four favorite maps as follows: 1 point = 1st, 2 points = 2nd, 3 points = 3rd, 4 points = 4th. Maps that aren't voted on get five points. The map with the fewest points is the winner.

*Categories are looks, gameplay, and overall appeal just like the first round.

Example:
Looks: 1)htf_momus, 2)htf_bogged, 3)htf_dogabah, 4)htf_Pondious
Gameplay 1) htf_muck 2)htf_momus 3) htf_bogged 4) htf_ moor
Overall 1)...4)

1) gets one point, 2) gets two points, and so on. Just like the first round of mapping. Vote like this for all three categories and we'll be golden.

* Failure to vote properly or correct a vote when notified will result in your vote being ignored*
*Vote for your four favorite maps. No less.
*No voting for your own maps
*Waypoints or a lackthere of are not a consideration for judging

I believe that's all...although I reserve the right to edit those rules as the contest dictates. Anyhow, let's get down to the contestants:

I've been unable to contact someone about getting a server up for a contest map rotation, but with the weekend coming up I'll try and change that. Map on!

This ain't logical, cause people just vote 4 maps,
what about maps that don't get voted, will they have the least points and win?

he cna reverse the point message...

Rules changed. Maps that doesn't get voted on will get 5 points by default. There will be four winners and a runners up category.

Gee, I wonder why no one's voting after I moved this down to the mapping forums...

Looks : 1)momus 2)muck 3)Dagobah 4)Hellbound
Gameplay : 1)momus 2)moor 3)hellbound 4)muck
Overall : 1)momus 2)muck 3)sumpf 4)hellbound

Maybe everyone expected it to be in the General forum. Have you said in that forum that you posted here?

my voting:
Looks 1)hellbound 2)momus 3)moor 4)dagobah
Gameplay 1)momus 2)moor 3)pondious 4)muck
Overall 1)momus 2)moor 3)hellbound 4)pondious

I hope next time we get to test the maps online.
I rated momus moor and pondious best at gameplay because i actually got to play them at Leo's. But, in my humble opinion, other maps like muck, swampy or hellbound would have had a better gameplay score from me (and prolly, other voters) if they had been tested in a public server. :(
This is not a complaint, this is just a regret. I would host them myself if i had the bandwith.

Yea..I moved it in responce to being nagged by a certain someone (Keron :p). I'll ask Leo if he can toss a few more contest maps in the roation for a few days.

xD



I think only overall should be stated, and thoughts on the looks and gameplay of a map should be told separately (that is, not as counting as points at all). It'd make it easier to tell the votes. I mean, look at how simplistic this is (these are my actual votes, BTW):
1. Muck
2. Moor
3. Sumpf
4. Dagobah

Fine, be that way. It's only one vote out of probably over 25 here, anyways.

It's happening again. And I'll be kind and vote properly, and hope that someone might be kind enough to vote for.... Anyway:
Looks: 1)sumpf 2)moor 3)dogabah 4)hellbound
Gameplay: (me) 1)bogged 2)dogabah 3) 4)
Add to a bit later.

what happened with this?

i don't know, but i'm working on a map pack and don't need to have a contest right now :P

I guess I'll count up the votes and at least get a winner. Ever since this topic moved down here people left it to die, go figure. I'm out of my place on break, give me a day or two.

k'

you could upload them at sml and let them go through the rating system...i could build something real fast to only display those maps. Let me know.

That would be good if this contest were to pick up again. I might try and see if it really is just being at the top of the list that keeps this thing alive by starting a new topic in General Discussions for entering maps and creating themes. Unless people really want to send it through the SML system, there are few enough votes to count up pretty quickly.

So is this over or is this getting revived?

Since next to no one voted in this round it's over for the time being. Read my above post. I'm heading back to my place today, so I'll post the results when I get back in this evening.

Maybe ask dibo to move it to general discussions, so people who don't visit these parts of the forum ( the vast majority, as you can see ) will vote too. Alternatively you could create a new topic there, this one got pretty much off-track from voting.

EDIT: So, are we going to resurrect this or should it be kept dead?

I thought I already asked a time or two in here..maybe I should PM or something. Either way, I'll prolly just revive things with a new topic in the general discussions.

This is a good thing to have around...although possbly like the USA vs Canada in that the contest should be held every so often. Not sure about that. Feel kinda bad for letting it get so dusty, but real life has been biting me in the butt lately so I've had my hands full :p.

Think I should get this moved to revive it, or just count up what little votes there are and call this roud good? For the moment I'm up for either.

There are 5 legit votes as I've noticed, that's not much. Maybe make a new topic and calculate the previous votes, and I'll un-stickify this.

Good deal. I'll have a new topic up in the Gen. Discussions to give this round the attention it deserves.

I think it'd be good to ask all the voters to tally up their points, like the end of my post in the first page.
