[♆] Event #8 - Gamma Draconis by Atheyna April 19, 2015 at 10:04 PM UTC
Event #8: This is the eighth official event on the Avicus Network, known as "Gamma Draconis". You will be given a certain amount of days to construct a map for The Avicus Networks gamemode, CTH. There will however be a couple rules to the contest.
Who are the judges?
The individuals that will be judging this competition are SkylarCalibrator and Jozzmcozz. Judges for this contest will not change, so please do not ask to become one. You may however request to become a judge for future Avicus building competitions.
What are the rules?
You have to follow these rules or your map will be rejected.
- You may not have more than 3 authors.
- You must have a CTH map. Anything else will not be entered in.
- You may not create more than 4 maps for Gamma Draconis
What are the guidelines?
Maps are judged in the following aspects;
- Gameplay (How do you think the map will play on the servers?)
- Aesthetics (How pleasing to the eye does it look?)
- Creativity (Is it unique and really stands out?)
YAML will be done by a map developer if you wish, and it will not count against you. We're all here to help!
What gamemodes can I do?
You can do anything possible within YAML in CTH.
How do I submit my map?
Put a [CONTEST] tag in the title. By doing so, you are entered into the contest and put into a spreadsheet. It contains the map name, authors, thread link, jurisdiction of approval/denial, and it's gamemode. All CTH maps are eligible to be in this contest. You have the permission to post your thread link in the post below so we can see it easier.
1. Do not give in-constructive feedback by knocking others down to build yourself up.
2. Do not steal maps; all maps are your property. Violations of this are a permanant ban.
3. Do not ghost produce; don't have other users make a map for you and you take credit.
4. Do not spam judges; patience is a large key. Wait for a response on your map.
5. Do not ghost view; don't tally a ton of thread views in your thread for attention.
6. Do not make joke maps; all maps must be true submissions to the server.
7. Do not submit maps made prior to this; all maps must be "newly produced".
8. Always give credit. No matter what the case, credit everyone who authored.
How can I create YAML?
Feel free to ask out for tutorials on YAML, either from a map developer or other players on Avicus, that are experienced with it. Our YAML documentation is currently down.
What is the prize?
The prize will be credits. If more than one author, each author will receive the same amount of credits.
Is the spreadsheet public?
Yes! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a9CYPRvSxJWrkJiugM7Hl3dlCmi6M5iwYG-xU5dhK0w/edit?usp=sharing
