August Forgery Challenge

[Null Parameter]

Welcome! To the August Forgery Challenge!

We are giving this challenge a running start, because it is going to last longer then most and will be far more epic.

This challenge is also different then the usual because there isn't necessarily a theme to follow; no Team Doubles or MLG.
Instead, this challenge is about adaptability and creativity.

Without further ado, I give you......

The Master Forger Challenge

In this challenge you won't be creating one map, you will be creating many.
The idea here is that you may create one map for each Map Category we have on the forums.

Legendary
Foundry
Non-Foundry
Re-makes
Infection
Mini-Games
Aesthetic
Cold Storage*

*Cold Storage is not an actual map category on our forums, but since it was just released it deserves some lovin'. Post these in the Legendary Maps forum.

I repeat, you can create only one map for each category.
Now, you do not need to create a map for every category; but you must at least submit 3 maps in order for your entries to count.

Here is how the judging will work, and how the winners will be determined. (Notice the plural there)

For each map you enter, you will receive a score from 1 to 10, which is the rating of your map, determined by the Review Team.
When all is said and done, each person's map scores will be added together. The person with the highest score will be the winner.

This type of judging is in some ways unfair, as somebody could make 8 mediocre maps and get the highest overall score, and thus wins; while a person who made 3 amazing maps gets nothing.

This is where the second winner comes into play. This is the Judges Pick.
You don't have to create 8 maps to win this one, this one is decided by the judges based on whatever we want.
We'll use our own judgement and pick the best deserving individual.

As I said before, this challenge will run longer then others. You will have an entire month to complete this one.
So, since it is currently July 25th, you must have all of your maps in by August 25th. End of Story.

Because this challenge is so long, we might also throw in something extra for the winners. Additional Free Supporter Status? Maybe. You'll have to wait and see. :P

I hope you guys enjoy this one, I think it will be very fun and it will stretch your talents and imaginations.

Oh yeah, almost forgot..... There is one catch to this challenge. All map submissions must be new to the site.
If they were on the old site, I guess that is okay. If they currently have a thread on the forum, at the time of this posting, then it is out of play.

Here is a template for posting your maps, and please just edit your submission posts to include all of them. There is no need for multiple posts.
Just copy this into your post, it will take care of the rest.


Legendary: Map Name (map url)
Foundry: Map Name (map url)
Non-Foundry: Map Name (map url)
Re-makes: Map Name (map url)
Infection: Map Name (map url)
Mini-Games: Map Name (map url)
Aesthetic: Map Name (map url)
Cold Storage: Map Name (map url)



Edit (7/28):
People have been asking about submitting maps that were created together.

There will be two acceptable ways of doing this:

You work as a team and submit all of your maps together.
In this case, you will split any winnings. Meaning that you each get a month of Supporter status, instead of 2 months.
Max of two person teams.
Only one person submits the map.
This means that the other person(people) will get credit for the map, just not in the sense of the challenge.


Edit (8/20):
After much pestering, we have decided to extend the challenge another week (almost). The new due date is now August 31st.

Don't worry, for those of you still unable to finish this challenge, we will be bringing this one back sometime in the future. Don't hold onto your maps, because I can't guarantee a time frame, but it will be back.

Hmm I hope I still have time to make all these maps.

I have a question. What are the requirements for the Legendary/Foundry/Non-Foundry/Cold Storage categories?
The other four categories fit into these. So for example, can you have two mini-Games or Re-makes and use one for its own category and the other for the category for the level it is on? Or Level categories have to support all gametypes?

You can only submit a map once. If it fits into more than one category, then it is your choice to put it where you feel it fits best (or place it in a category so that another map you made can take it's place in a different one).

There is only a week and a half left for the challenge, time is running short, be sure to get those maps completed and submitted! Remember to update your thread with links to your maps!

[DeathsFriend22]

well ****e. With my dad being all anal about the Xbox lately, i may not even have a chance to stick my maps on my fileshare, or fix up the one that people complained about when i showed it to them. so if i don't manage to get it done the review team will be having about 4 or 5 maps to review seperately from the competition :(

[Morphine]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post here but I hope to take part in your competition, I already have quite a few maps I have made and this competition is a good way for me to showcase them. I've used forgehub off and on for sometime but personally I think they have been getting a little too stuck up for their own good as of late. I think it would be fun if you guys were able to build some sort of completely fair map featuring system to add to the site, maybe some official forgers? Anyway, hope everyone enjoys my maps once I post them this weekend and good luck to you all.

Welcome to the site! Our Featuring system is still in development, but it will be different from the way ForgeHub does it; it will be a lot of the community favorite maps and some staff picks that will get featured.

We haven't looked into getting official forgers yet, but if you would care to elaborate at the suggestion forum (http://www.halo3forgery.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5) I'm sure that we can think of some way to possibly include this.


*Just as a reminder, discussion and questions regarding the challenge will be in this thread (http://www.halo3forgery.org/forum/showthread.php?t=233)*

To keep people happy and to possibly get more people into the challenge, we will be extending this challenge to the end of the month. You now have until August 31st to complete your maps. Good luck and have fun!

fine then.. lol i wont enter. my maps i have been testing will be saved for latrer release? i see that Nobody is ready for this challenge and with a few days left i can only imagine a maximum of two player entries.. which will most likely lead to a default in the winner.. which to me is pointless. Sorry but im debating evem entering this challenge... i feel my maps have taken to much time to just be defaulted to win...

or ill just dig out maps to defaultly win with which to me arent that great anymore.

Just because nobody has posted their maps yet doesn't mean they aren't. I know at least a couple people, like myself, who are just procrastinators, or simply busy, and haven't taken the time to post their maps yet.

[DeathsFriend22]

well i've offficially entered 3 maps, so if you enter, you won't win by default because you'll have my maps to contend with.

[Gravedigger5454]

I'm going to try to get them up, I just haven't had a chance to get all of mine published yet. I don't know if I'll have the time to get an aesthetic one though. I do agree that It'd be good to expand the contest to allow some more people to enter though.

[DeathsFriend22]

erm the challenge ends tonight correct?

Yes. Posts that have submissions that aren't complete will be deleted.

As long as they are in by the time I wake up on September 1st, which is when I will close down the thread. So, probably around 9AM Central on the 1st. Which gives you almost a whole extra half of a day beyond what I said before.

I posted that a little while ago. So, as long as they are in by, lets say noon Central time, then that is fine. At the time I posted that, I had forgotten it was a holiday weekend, so I changed the time a little bit.

[Denominator]

Unless somebody has a whole bunch of maps up their sleeve that they haven't posted yet, I predict a PsychoBucket victory. Based on the scoring system, I figure you could win with one fewer map than everybody else (eg - 3 instead of 4), but he's currently at a +3 advantage. Game over.

Which is why there can be two winners this time around. :p

I have a few in my file share that i may just throw in to contend with psycho so he doesn't autowin. they haven't been submitted yet either :)

On second thought, maybe i won't. We probably don't need to. Look at his maps. I don't know about you guys, but they really just don't appeal much to me.


Oh, and only 3 people have submitted maps so far. LOL!
