Quoting Muhnay
Greetings SnarkPit PEEPS!

To help build interest and get some of you back into the mapping scene, I am offering this contest. Build this scene ( expand on it if you will ) to the best copy of this image that you can. Make it for Left For Dead 1 or 2, Half Life Death Match or CounterStrike Source and the best version will win a gift Card to NEW-EGG, amount to still be determined, but no less than 20 dollars and no more than 2000 dollars.

Thats the challenge. ENJOY!

Winners will need to disclose some personal info, email address and a name they wish the card to be under. The card will be delivered by e-mail.

I'll probably try this out! And even if I don't win, it will still be a good fun I guess smiley

Before what date should my entry be posted?
And should we post screenshots only, or the whole map?

Edit: maybe you should dis-allow us to use custom models. Since I can't model, and then it wouldn't really be a map contest anymore but also a model contest.

Hey! -Pretty nice competition you've posted! Short, sweet and to the point. How long do mappers have in order to submit their work?

-Also, would you like a front page post about it? (if you want to make the little banner for it, let me know. The dimensions are: 400 x 130px)

I would totally join if I had more time. -Also, you should definitely let the author of that art know about this, I'm sure he'd find it interesting.

This is cool. smiley

What would be a good amount of time? A month 2 months?

Should we make the rules have the map playable?

Riven I will make something up now for the front page, I am not sure how to contact them, maybe though the Deviant Art page?

I think it would be appropriate if you contacted the artist and notified him of the competition. I think he'd be interested in seeing what comes out of it. I think I'd enjoy the ego boost myself.

Why we didn't take advantage of the last comp i don't know but, WE SHOULD USE THIS COMPETITION AS A OPPORTUNITY TO ADVERTISE THE PIT!! This comp should be posted on Mapcore, Inoplers, twhl, ect. We need new blood. People who still have interest in commenting on peoples work. We had a guy post a L4D survival map a month ago. It was a good looking map. Only one person left a comment (ty Riven). I found it particularly disappointing because this guy has done, what I'm assuming is, a considerable amount of work on Black Mesa. http://www.rabidmnky.com/

Weren't we supposed have a grand reopening of the Pit after the update anyway? What ever happened to that?

And im in by the way. smiley

EDIT: Oops! I'v beeb up for about 30 hours now and im missing who chunks of text when reading. my bad.

Oh I'd LOVE to do something like this, but I'm not skilled enough at the moment. I just recently started mapping again, and I'm relearning everything. Also I start University in March so it's going to be a bit too tough to learn everything I need about mapping in time. I look forward to what the community comes up with though, and I know it's going to kick butt.

I won't be joining this one fellas, I'm pretty busy with my own stuff but I wish everyone good luck and I look forward to checking out and commenting on the entries. smiley

Just one thing...

Quoting "Muhnay"
Make it for Left For Dead 1 or 2, Half Life Death Match or CounterStrike Source


Did you mean Half-Life 2 Deathmatch?

Yes Aaron that what I meant thanks for pointing that out.

Riven, is there a donate to the PIT option like a pay pal to help with the cost, to have a PIT server or anything of that nature?

The reason I ask is because it would be nice to have a way to help with the pit, for those who want too.. and it would be an option for things like this mapping challenge... I or/and others could donate to the pit to get the funds up to a more enticing amount, then the PIT could purchase the gift card from where ever the host of the contest likes or it can be decided by the contestants.

let me know what you think.

Yes, the donate button is at the bottom of EVERY page on the Pit, and it would all lead to Gwil's account, as he is the one paying for the site. If there is any fund raising you'd like to coordinate, it would be with and through him.


Also, if you wish to advertise such a fund-raiser, I have no problem stickying a thread for you or posting a front page news item you would construct (BB code enabled). Send me the post in a pm within the 'code' tags and I'll pass it along to the front page.

-OR- (laundry list item detected...)
If we had a way so that users could submit front page news items to be approved and posted. -(or a way to show in the header: "Posted by ____" but not an admin's name). I know we have user journals, but most folks won't ever press the journal button and that content may never get seen. That's mostly for the regulars already here afaik. So, yea, I suppose I'll just leave this little request here and know that larchy is already busy with other upcoming features and that I should know when to shut-up sometimes. smiley

Has anyone posted this comp on any other mapping sites? Riven and Aaron are not competing. Two people out and were in danger of not having any entry's... anyone else see anything wrong with that? Who is entering anyway? I'm not the only one am I?

I'm considering it, but I just started this semester's classes yesterday, so I want to make sure I don't have to much going on with that first.

I'm sad to say that it most likely won't happen because I have actually started a new map, my first in several years.

Considering no one here is entering and this is the only site that has been notified of it; I'm assuming this comp is canceled?
