TDG Mapathon Contest Series

Clan TDG is beginning a new series in mapping contests to be held every weekend. The TDG Mapathon is a 2-day (48 hours) event that is meant to inspire creativity by using a keyword as a theme and then allowing contestants 48 hours to create, develop, and complete their mapping project.

The contest is primarily oriented towards interactive multiplayer maps (at least 2 players, not just a cinematic) and will be judged on the basis of 4 criteria: Theme, Playability, Ingenuity, and Potential.

The contest begins every weekend at 5pm ET (9 PM GMT) on Friday and concludes Sunday at 5PM ET (9 PM GMT)- followed by a period of game play from 8PM on, where contestants will be given the opportunity to play and comment on entries.

The contest is open to the public. The official rewards are small, but include featured map status on the Clan TDG forums/website and optional support (including but not limited to) dl only hosting and playtesting provided by Clan TDG, plus bragging rights.

Anything goes with respect to custom models, custom script, 3rd-party editors, and entries do not need to be unprotected. For more complete description of the rules of the contest series, check the clan TDG Mapathon forum.

This will be the 3rd week of the competition. The first two were successful and had a few entries from various people.

(Admins, move this if it's in the wrong thread. Sorry about that if it is)

It's not supposed to be a huge map. I know of nobody who used over 10 hours, if even that much. 48 hours is more than enough to make a fairly-playable version of a map. The winners from both of the first two contests were really nice, and only needed a few tweaks to be released, if even that much. 2 days hasn't been a problem for almost anyone.

The 3rd contest came and went, with... nobody, really, from here. It went well. We had 5 entries from TDG members, 1 from a Clan WEnW member (GaDDeN) and one from a Clan MoMM member.

We still are welcome for anyone who is interested, though.
