I rather though so myself, any suggestions or comments?

I think it'd be pretty cool. I'm not at all a terrainer/triggerer, so I couldn't compete, but I'd love to see something like this.

Sounds interesting, but I wont be hosting this until some of the other mapping contests have concluded. There are many on the waiting list.

Hmm... This would be seriously fun, time to use all my powers to create a masterpiece :D

Well, I'm glad that this is getting some intrest.

@Hawkwing I realize that. It should give some people time to plan!

I think it'd be pretty cool. I'm not at all a terrainer/triggerer, so I couldn't compete, but I'd love to see something like this.

Well, there is that. The main requerment is that you be a profiecent coder, with average terrain.

"Extra points will be awarded for using your own resources made for this contest"
That's kinda unfair if you ask me cause not everyone can make models or stuff like that D:
Otherwise this sounds pretty nice competition

i think it sounds pretty cool but there needs to be more specific description of bosslike or there will be argurments, and you know it.

X.e.r.e.X, I was under the impression that contests were to pit your skills against other people? How does handicapping everyone who's better at something than you follow along with that...?

Ahah! At last somthing I would compete in well enough to feel good about it.

Actually, I believe X.e.r.e.X is thinking well. Wouldnt getting getting an advantage by using your own resource making this a modeling contest, or a skinning contest as well? I say it should be kept at a "Boss Fight Contest"

Actually, I agree with X.e.r.e.X.

Well, personally I don't. You should be rewarded for being able to make good models. You took the time to learn, and it follows that you should be able to implement them. The main point of the contest will still be to make a "Boss Fight". If the model is crappy, it will negate upon your score. Still, it is likely that if you can model, then you will make a model that fits your terrain better, and fits the game better.

]i think it sounds pretty cool but there needs to be more specific description of bosslike or there will be argurments, and you know it.

The "boss-like" ness will be determined by judges. Therefor arguments will not happen, unless the judge confilcts with himself. If the judge deems it 'un-boss-like" he will mark it as disqualified.

Those are my thoughts on the matter, so please. Everyone give feedback, or critisims.

But this is a mapping contest, not a modeling/texturing contest. And it should have nothing to do with the two.

Yes, if you want good models, host a modeling contest. If you want to have a mapping contest, take the modeling part out, and make it a maping contest :D

~Asomath

Well if that's what you think, and everyone agrees, I have two other suggestions:

1) One of the judging categores is, Models and how they fit with the rest of the map.

2) It is NOT a mapping contest, but an 90% mappings 10% other.

3) Eliminate the models altogether from the judging, but they will effect the vote, and the general appearance of the map.
