Venge, please omit saying the results of your judging You have already said enough.
Keep that knowledge untill the end, so it's gonna be surprise.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Alright alright.


































Aeroblyctos got the highest rating.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

You can't be serious?

 

[Vengeancekael]

I can withdraw my vote at will >
lol I won't though

 

[Jazztastic]

This will really be up to the judges though. No definite winner has been identified by the poll.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Jazztastic, we all know you're going to win

 

[Jazztastic]

Usually when someone is undisputably going to win, he has like 80% of the votes

 

[SA Dashie]

I seem to have at least one vote for every contest so far so therefore i am challenged to make the most awesome multiplayer map that near no one in the poll would be bothered to test with many players.
Also this was a weekend mapping contest and also there isn't as much testing so I don't expect any votes this contest(I never expect votes anyway).

 

[Brambleclaw]

I tested your map. It was really big. I think it bugged though. All terrorists can do is build Teleporters and port. There is nothing to defend against. Or fight
Its very depressing. And even then thereis no way to fight T_T Where's ma alkaieda Bomb.

Would of been nice if you focused on warfare and waves first :L looking forward to final

 

[SA Dashie]

Sorry but the only thing that I missed out on was a bit more of a detailed explanation.

orly


I'm just waiting for Spinnaker's reviews now.

 

[bowser499]

Whoa~
Will it be over or not?

 

[Vengeancekael]

The poll ends on monday.

 

[bowser499]

Oh, I forgot this. Thank you

 

[Bannar]

Kobas gave you already? ;D

 

[Vengeancekael]

He just gave ratings.

 

[Arisato]

ahh i was too late to join in

 

[Wraithling]

Then don't miss out on the ongoing http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/arena-226/mini-game-mapping-contest-5-a-202556/!

 

[Bannar]

Has someone managed to survive the last wave in Wraithling's map? (3 bosses at once).
Quake 2 fucks up everything..

EDIT: Nevermind, finished it.

Okey, I'm close to finish the testing. Maggy your map is the hardest one (I'm not counting unplayable maps, in case: DonDustin's, Aeroblyctos are either prepared for 12 players with godmode or just die after 5mins (I wasn't counting bowser499 & DeathChef maps as well since they are multiplayer maps and Brambleclaw since there is nothing to survive from)).

I'll try again to win the map tomorrow (right now about ~10 tries).
Rest of them I have managed to finish (got screeshots if you don't believe ;P), I'll explain and add everything into my judging.
Was checking many tactics, the best one found in Jazztastic's map

 

[D a w n]

I got to the last lvl of my map

 

[Vengeancekael]

I didn't actually play your maps, ahahahahahahahaha.

 

[Bannar]

I got to the last lvl of my map

Sure, same here (at first try I get to 8 lvl) question is: have you killed mobs? :S

I didn't actually play your maps, ahahahahahahahaha.

Lol? It's joke or? I can't image judging without raping each map with every tactic/every narow issue found in-game.

 

[Vengeancekael]

I can't image judging without raping each map with every tactic/every narow issue found in-game.

Yeah sure if I were to do that, then no one would have a rating higher than 10.

 

[Bannar]

My ranking is high only because of Terrain (but the fool who told that 25 pts for terrain is okey will get from me -99 points in MM contest #5 (if he participate ofcourse, so you got 1 enemy less)) - how the fuck you can judge terrain of 3-day map? Participants have to concentrate on game play rather than fucking terrain which requires ton of free time.

Fuck the judges please >.>
Ofcourse I won't follow such idiotic idea since it hurts the participants too much. I give max 15 pts for terrain (yeah fuck rules, they are here just to do so) and there is additional section: Map Progress (describes how map is finished in %) 10 pts max.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Maggy your map is the hardest one

That's good right?

Here's a tip:
- Get Ice Tower
- Farm gold to upgrade it
- Make sure you have the Chaos tower before level 10
- You can't NOT leak creeps, so what you should focus on is killing as many creeps as you can.
- When you have the choas tower and the ice tower, start upgrading the Ice Tower fast.
- By Level ~16, you need to have the Fire Tower
- The poison towers should be spammed and fully upgraded for Levels 13-23
- Levels 24 and 25 can only be won if you have Choas towers and Anti-air Towers (Divine Armor)
- Don't build the towers too close to the spawn point, and don't build them too far either.

 

[Bannar]

Maggy, I meant hardest because I'm playing the 'insane' mode on each map:
- take as small amount of hits as possible
- don't lose even one unit
- try to not lose any life from hero (possible in Jazztastic's map)
- in your map I'm trying to finish with 50/50 not just wining the game. Just wining is for losers

I do so in every game, in every campaign. Insade modes are the only option. (=

 

[Magtheridon96]

My map CANNOT be won with 50/50 lives
But if you do manage to do that, please send me a replay and feel free to call yourself "The Awesome". >

 

[Vengeancekael]

AHAHAHAHAHA the highest rating I've given someone is 14.999999.

 

[Brambleclaw]

thats high.

I was expecting highest to be around 7

 

[Vengeancekael]

Spinnaker either you use the default judging criterias or your points will not be counted.

 

[Bannar]

Okey, okey :S But I will just underline in 'Terrain' that I was counting 'Map Progress' too, yet still it gonna be 25 points total.

Just next time Venge, don't listen to idiots, but reliable guys like me, baassee, Maggy - not someone who has 0 knowledge about madness contests.
I support the idea about 25pts for Terrain in normal MM contests, but in such, people have time to work on it.

 

[PROXY]

A what the fuck...

 

[Vengeancekael]

And please stop insulting people, I really doubt that Pharaoh_ and -Kobas- are idiots.

 

[Bannar]

Lol, it's not the Pharaoh_ since he is killing all the limits, plus we are friends =p. It was Kobas surely. It's just pointless to judge terrain in this contest. Should I really leave most entries with 5 points for terrain as you did?

And don't say I'm not right with points pool.
About insulting, sorry I'm a bit drunk :S For two weeks I had party every night.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Yes you should.

 

[Bannar]

Done.

 

[Vengeancekael]

I don't care what you're saying, you should discuss these things with the ones who made it. But right now the judging criteria will not be changed, it's too late for that.

 

[Brambleclaw]

im very dissapoint at my terrain score * Takes a rethink* Hmm try try try again T_T must edit it then for next ^^

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'm a bit confused. Where are the scores?

 

[Brambleclaw]

arnt up yet

 

[Vengeancekael]

I'm a bit confused. Where are the scores?

In my pants! Quickly get into them!

 

[Bannar]

I don't care what you're saying, you should discuss these things with the ones who made it. But right now the judging criteria will not be changed, it's too late for that.

We were talking to Kobas about that (yeah me, baassee and Maggy) but he ignored everything - thats why I'm mad on him.

Being egoist sucks, pretty badly.
I know that it's too late, but anyways, next leave high point pools for main constest. The quick ones shouild have pool around 50 pts.

 

[-Kobas-]

I decided to rate maps like this from now on (and Pharaoh_ agreed), if you don't like, then don't join.
I won't rate code and such things over terrain, terrain is important and should be highly rated as well as gameplay.

And yes score is low, actually my highest rating was 56/100.
Related to map section 2/5 Lacking.

But when you think about it it's really epic to see that, people work few months on their maps and we still reject them. Half entries impressed me, honestly.

About bad things:
Half maps don't have name (just another wc3 map) -.^
Some don't have terrain as well.
What about game modes, difficulties, no one added hints etc etc...
Just 1 trigger with handicap can improve map quality if nothing else.
50% maps don't have quest log (or some stats system, whatever) = No info, no credits, no nothing

 

[Bannar]

Kobas, as said: I agree with you - if we are talking about MM constests. But not Madness types honestly, they (participants) don't have so much time to focus on things like terrain to make it realy (REALY) good, afterall it just 3 days. Next time better lower the whole point pool (from 100 to 50) so it will be easier for us - judges - and for participants as well.

Who told you that code should be over terrain? Nonono, even I disagreed.
Although don't leave so many pts for this section (terrain) in CONTEST which lasts 72 HOURS.

Even you mentioned that half of maps don't have terrain.
I'll speak with Pharaoh_ surely, since I think that the only person who spoke with him about WMM was you ;/

 

[SA Dashie]

But I finished a half decent terrain with default doodads so I don't see why terrain shouldn't be a part of the high scoring.
