Challenge 2: Mods and maps go hand-in-hand.This challenge begins immediately. Sign-ups begin right now, and last until 9 PM PST, August 20, 2011. To sign up, simply make a post in this thread with your non-ranked map within the signup time limit. This map does NOT need to be bubble-ready, although it certainly can be. It doesn't even need to be in pending.
Once signups are completed, participants will be split into groups, and each participant will have time to mod every other map within his/her group. The time allotted will be 24 hours per group member excluding yourself. Thus, each member of a group of 4 (which will be the normal size) will have 72 hours to complete 3 mods.
After completing all 3 mods, you will be
required to send me a forum PM giving a score to each of the three maps that you have modded, based on your own criteria of a good map.
THESE SCORES MUST ADD UP TO 100. Thus, you can give 33,33,34 if you thought they were almost the same quality, or 70,20,10 if one particularly stood out.
After receiving all 3 mods, you will be
required to send me a second PM giving a score to each of the three mods you have received based on how useful they were.
Once again, these scores should add up to 100!Once this has been completed, the players will be ranked in terms of total score from both modding and mapping, with the scores adjusted if group sizes turn out to be uneven, and the top N players will once again receive a mod from our awesome team. But hey, just by participating, you get ~3 mod4mods, even if you don't win. Good for all.
There will be score penalties for lateness, and blacklist penalties for non-modding after getting a prod.
Oh yeah. MATs and BATs take half points in the modding category. If you receive an 80 in modding, you only get +40 to your total score. Sorry. You're expected to give stellar mods.
And you get a normal ticket here, so that's 3 days to decide what map to put it on. Not confined to the map you post for modding. Not even confined to any of your own maps.
Good luck! I hope to see you all participate!
Deadlines:These are all for a normal team of 4 players; add one day to b) and c) for each extra player, remove one day for each player under 4.
- Aug. 20 - Signups end.
- Aug. 23 - Modding ends. Map scoring also ends, since you should have played all the maps by now.
- Aug. 24 - Mod scoring ends, assuming all modding has been completed. Otherwise, 24 hours after you receive your last mod, or 24 hours after I ask you for scores, whichever is earlier. If you get your mods early, feel free to PM them to me early too.
