Adventurer Info
When terraining, you must consider the pathing. To test this, I have added an Adventurer. This will be used in judging to make sure a tourist can at least see part of the scenery.

If I forgot something or if you have questions, use the thread, please don't pm me because other people may have the same question

Stupid rule set. I dissaprove of this contest.

please dont just say its stupid, tell me why so i can fix it

First of all,there is already a terraining contest and the rules are friggin stupid.

Lol I can tell this one has a few rules based off of mine . Ok ill try to help.

1)First of all, the trigger part in the rules is just quite dumb.

2)Before I go any further, the rep thing is crazy. The mods will have to keep up with all of that.

3)You dont disscuss info about third party tools like WEU. With weu, I believe you can pick more tilesets which again is a disadvantage.

4) Also, when posting your work, "(Models/skins used LINKS (MUST PROVIDE LINKS TO ALL MODELS YOU USED))", it says provide a link to all the models. Makes it sound like skins/icons are less important and you dont have to link.

Indeed the rules are irrational, illogical and unnecessarily complicated.
Besides, you should really check the Arena to see if there's a similar contest before proposing one.

ok i guess this was a failure
delete this thread please

All you have to do is delete your first post. It isnt a complete "failure" and still needs improvement. I think you should remake the thread after the other terrain contest(s) are over or at least wait.

All you need to do is wait, probably a couple of months for the terraining challenge to be over. >.<

And you just need to fix up your rules and stuff.

I like the idea of making it an actual map, not just screens. I think you should just re-do this after the other Terrain challenge is done.

The rep threw me off, first one to post gets rewarded? thats kinda dumb imo.

ok ill keep it up and wait, i can change the rep thing easily, i didnt know how much rep is a lot, and how much is small, and what the usual rewards were. but right now, im just gonna pause it for a few months, then after the terraining challenge is over, ill fix up the rules

btw parrothead, how did u put the rules and stuff in boxes, i thought they where quotes, but i guess not >.>
