I'm ready for a SP mapping Contest.

I'd join a DM contest. It's been a while.

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

I know it is been a while.
The Quake 2 scene is slowing down and all.
But If you guys think the time is right and want to help me doing this, then Iam game. Can't do this alone as I have other stuff besides the Cafe...dont be surprized...geez.. lol... .
Maybe deadline should be some time in September, so everyone is back from summer vacation?..
Let me hear your thoughts about this..

Thanks for your contructive and impulsive suggestion tehsandwich.

Any other thoughts?..

September sounds ok. It could be earlier for me but I guess it's better not to rush things and announce the contest properly.

I'd definitely like to submit a map so I guess I can't help as a judge. I recently spend the major part of my free time programming and shooting photos + editing them on the computer and I'd like to get back into level design a bit. Last Quake map I published was that NQ/Quakeworld map in october 2009.

I can help you with other things though, dunno what needs to be done. Feel free to PM me on this or post a list or something here so people can see what needs to be done and 'just do it'. ;D

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

Thx. for your input spirit.

We will need some scoresheets for the judges and so on..

I will be going to Cannes/Nice in a couple of days and be away until mid next week.
When I come back I will set up the contest.

: D Contest?! I'd provide a map.

If there is to be a contest, there will need to be some sort of prize(s) in order to entice participation and to gain proper social buzz. I would be happy to volunteer advertisement of the contest on 1mgs.com. We get a decent number of hits per month and many "unique" hits(people that type our address in directly or search for us specifically). I am also open to suggestions on ways I and my large network of gamers can help.

Spreading the word would of course be great! More mappers == better contest imo!

My personal opinion on prizes: there have already been a few contests without prizes here and I don't think you need them, but if people come up with something creative... Or else I'd rather make levels just for fun.

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

Usually we dont have any prizes, when we do a map contest here at the café, the prizes is that you come to share your new map and hopefully it will hit the Quake-servers out there. And make you famous..

Don't know if prizes is necessary, but it sure would be cool to see how many participants we could get if we had some prize money.. I don't see a problem to sponsor the contest with about €10-20, and if a few more people would do the same, it could turn out pretty awesome!

I would also like to participate with a map Probably a duel map...
Unless we need more judges! Would be fun to try that out too!
