Speed Map Building Contest: Ideas?
Anyone else thinks that a contest similar to the speed terrain contests could work for maps? For example, a contest could require that the contestants can only use 1 ROTV and 1 VW. Then the community would vote on the best of them, and there could even be prizes. Ideas?

I said prizes could be a possibility. Keep in mind that this is just an idea to discuss, not a definite. If I could support prizes, I definitely would.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Personally, I couldn't care less about the prizes though.

If you want to truly make it a speed contest you should announce when the contest is going to start and give everyone just 1 hour to complete their map.

While that would be eneough time to build a map it would be a stretch to upload it. Maybe 5 hours or so.

A stretch? You can upload a map in like 30 seconds.

It takes a long time( at least for me) to put it into virtualscape.

Either way can do. Contestants should be able to choose which format they want to show it in, whether it be virtualscape or real life pictures. After the contest, however, it would be good to have at least the winner to have their map VS'ed for the community.
Edit: For me, it takes about half an hour to convert a small sized map from real life to vs, so maybe like an hour and a half? |

If there are prizes I think 5$ certificates to HMG will do nicley.

As for the setting a date, then announcing the start of it, why not give the theme then? Perhaps say "The contest will start on June 28th, at 5:00 PM, Central Daylight Time. The sets you are allowed to use are as follows: 1 Master Set (SotM or RotV) 1 Expansion to be announced at the start of the contest." That way, they then have their hour/hour and half/whatever to work with, and they really can't work ahead very much. EDIT: as for the 'I don't have VS, can I use pictures instead' argument, I say tough nuggets. I have had no digital camera for 2 years, because apparently they aren't waterproof (thanks, Mom!!). So I couldn't enter any of the Speed Custom contests, because I'd have to borrow my friend's camera, and she moved 60 miles away, so I never get to see her (or her camera. VS is so easy to get, as are digital cameras. VS or bust, says I...also VS-less. |
