Mini-Mapping Contest #13 - Theme Poll

Theme Discussion: Mini-Mapping Contest #13

Not much to say, vote away.
Poll ends the 31th of October

Theme	Description
Ghastly Realm	The map has to deal with ghosts/spirits/souls and the like. The entire map can take place in the realm of the dead.
Sport	Create a map related to sport in some way. Example: Football Tournament
Generated World	The world itself should be generated through triggers, this included terrain, enemies etc.
Workshop	Get a customer request and complete it to win.
Expedition	The player has to reach a special goal (e. g. reach a place, find a treasure) before his enemies while also constructing a base/gather materials etc.
Twist	Create a map with a gameplay twist. Example; A maze map where you control the maze rather than the ones in the maze.
From zero to..	The map should be about starting of something from zero and develop it into something much better. Example: start with a campfire, end up with a town.
Up to 11	Take a basic race mechanic and make a map centered around it, you are allowed to enhance/achieve the same effect using triggers. Eg. A map based around Call to Arms/Sacrifice/Uproot/Mount Hippogryph/Orc Bunker etc.
Magical Forst	The map should be centered around a forest with various magical beings inhabiting it.
Rush	The player has to achieve a certain goal before the time limit, it may be many small goals and not necessarily one large goal.

From zero to..

I'd love to see this one being elected. Others slightly less intriguing being workshop and magical forest.

Do two weeks to vote seem reasonable?

You're generous, that's two weeks more than mod rating removal poll.

 

[Chaosy]

I can imagine that one being rather good to play, but it's not what I would want to create personally so I wont vote for it x)

 

[Rufus]

You should probably add in the OP that the last voting day is October 31.

 

[Chaosy]

You added that? because I did not enter an end date.

 

[Rufus]

I did indeed. I think two weeks should be enough?
Do you think we need longer?

 

[Chaosy]

As far as I am concerned - no.
Two weeks is reasonable.

 

[Sclammerz]

Ghastly and Magical!!!

 

[Rufus]

@Chaosy
Good, good.
Seems like a good amount of votes are already rolling in!

@Sclammerz
Right on! That's what I voted for too.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I'd love to see how the votes are forming up so I could mentally prepare, but it reads that you have to cast your votes first. I'd really prefer to vote 30th or 31st because my opinion might change. If mods can change user votes I could cry for @Rufus if necessary, now I'm unsure how it works.

 

[Rufus]

No need for mods.
Once you voted, there is a "Change your vote" option displayed under the poll.

So vote away!

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Oh I'm stupid...

Well I voted for ones I'm interested in: Generated World, Workshop, From Zero To.., Magical Forest, Rush. Sports and Ghastly seemed meh but Ghastly seems to lead lol.

 

[Chaosy]

I am going with Generated, Ghastly and Twist.

 

[Paillan]

Nice moment to make something finally in warcraft. Casted my votes BTW.

 

[Rufus]

20 people have voted in only one and a half day!
This might turn out into a grand contest!

 

[Paillan]

I really hope workshop wins. Fulfilling requests is something very funny and that I do a lot (at least in the making heros part)

Putting my (in)famous ass to good use.

I'd go either with workshop, because I have a thing for tech and industry, or magic forest because it can encompass a pretty diverse selection of scenarios from spooky cursed woods to trippy bright mushroom and fern jungle.

In workshop you have too actually fullfill a request

 

[Rufus]

Just to be clear:
You won't be given a request from someone here on the hive, but you have to actually come up with a request(s) and a way to solve it yourself, all within a map.

Tech and industry could absolutely be a part of it, but it could also be a medival workshop, for example a blacksmith searching for materials and putting them together into a requested swod.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I realized that I don't want magical forest cuz terrainers would wipe the floor with the rest of the entries D: Ghastly is intimidating in this regard as well...

Go go workshop!

 

[Rufus]

Terrain is just a part of the total scoring you can get though. It is usually 20-25%.

OHHHH. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Chaosy]

HAHAHAHAHA. Perhaps I would too.

 

[pick-a-chew]

An interesting range of choices. I also think if the one you're hoping for doesn't win the vote, you can probably blend it into the winning decision, e.g. a workshop in a magical forest . Rooting for ghastly realm as it's waaaaaaaaaay more flexible than Workshop, and something i might have a go at. Expedition, Twist and Magical Forest would also be good ones.

Ok now I know how Americans feel like. I'm voting for Ghastly (pros: not Magical Forest; cons: Ghastly).

 

[Murlocologist]

Let's make this even. Take my vote Magical Forest.

 

[Chaosy]

Woodie Hippie Tree Huggers is better than workshop at least.
