Spoiler Alert!

...but, I'm not able to get them on my computer yet. I might be able to get it on today within the next half hour, but if not, don't expect them to come until sometime after noon on Sunday.

Fine with me. You have plenty of time!

Let me get this straight. A few questions here. Sorry if it seems repetitive.

You can have the connector zones anywhere on the map?

Connector zones do not have to be continuous?

There is no limit on how many connector zones you have?

Connector zones to not have to be in a straight line?

Connector zones can circle the map if we want them too?

Connector zones have to be marked with a different color start zone dot?

Do we have to use a 24 hex tile as the normal start zone?

What do you mean by

(use 24-hex starting zone in conjunction)

refering to the 48 hex 1000pt start zone?

Are you allowing split start zones?

[Fuzzie Fuzz]

I'm also not quite sure what the deal is with the 24/48 hex starting zones. Explanation please?

First off, thanks for the questions. Apparently I didn't make myself clear.

You can have the connector zones anywhere on the map?

Yes and no. It has to be on the side of the map, to show where to connect the maps together. I cannot be anywhere. For this contest, it needs to be set up like most start zones-- on one side only.

Connector zones do not have to be continuous?

Only if the side of the map you are wanting the connector zone is straight. If it juts out anywhere on that side, the farthest side(s) will be the connector zones.

There is no limit on how many connector zones you have?

No, use as many as it takes to cover the side of the map you choose.

Connector zones to not have to be in a straight line?

No, not if the side of the map is not straight, then the farthest out is the connector zone.

Connector zones can circle the map if we want them too?

Never, at least for the contest. Only one side can be your connector zone.

Connector zones have to be marked with a different color start zone dot?

Dots, not dot. But yes, so that someone does not confuse them with the start zone.

Do we have to use a 24 hex tile as the normal start zone?

Yes, like any map.

What do you mean by

refering to the 48 hex 1000pt start zone?

Example would be best here: Say your 24-hex start zone is green. To represent your 48-hex start zone, make another 24-hex start zone next to the green, except red. The 48-hex zone is the green and red zone together.

Are you allowing split start zones?

Yeah, I guess so. But have them close to one another, not far apart.

I hope that answers your questions.

Your question is explained above, I hope.

I have now added two examples for you to view! Hope they help out!

[Darkmage7a]

Thanks MS, the example pics really help explain things better than words!

[Creationist]

Agreed. Now just to make those half'ers.

[Warlord Alpha]

Me and my friend do this sometimes!

Anyways, I am totally in.

[Sup3rS0n1c]

Well, Photobucket isn't locating my pictures, so hoipefully I can put it into VS after finishing playtesting (which should be today: I only have 1 game left to do) and if that is the case, I should have a few pics up by Wednesday.

Sounds like fun. It's due in my birthday even so I HAVE to do it. I used to do this before I started playing in tournaments so it will be strip down memory lane.

Now, to start brainstorming....

I'm currently making my half map (after some serious VS poblems) and I have one noobish question. In the guide lines it says you have to use 1-master set and up to 3 diffrent expansion sets. The expansion sets are abbriviated and I know what most of them are except TT and VW (I'm thinking volcano).
