Mapping face-offs

This thread was continued from the older version that can be found here:
http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/22121/t876378-rmxp-mapping-face-offs/
The contents of this topic should be disregarded unless repeated in the current one.


Whats all this about?
Although it may seem this is a running tournament, the mapping face-offs are simply here so that if anyone feels they want to have their mapping judged opposed to another's they can do so here.

Every week or so i will post a round, including rules, themes, and any other needed information. The mappers can join at any time, during any round, by simply submitting their map.

At the deadline, i will judge to the best of my abilities, and post the results. While the winner will likely be mentioned in this post, there is no significant reward or prize for winning. Nor is this really famous enough to give you much bragging rights.
So bottom line is its all for fun!


Global rules
These rules will apply to all rounds, and this topic, from here on out, unless stated otherwise.

*The forum rules - Are still the biggest set or rules here. Read them, abide by them. None can, or will be altered during matches.

*During anytime, members of neoseeker can ask to judge their own round, or to pick a theme. If there was a pre-selected theme, the requested theme will be noted for the next round.

*keep it civil - If your not happy with the results, they are not etched in stone. Just contact the judge[es] and debate it if you feel the need to say something.

*After submitting a map, please refrain from editing it. I download them in advance, and view them then. So having to re-download them, or even miss the update is very annoying.


Anything else you may want to know
This is all for fun, so we will likely only do a leader board to show who has currently submitted to the most rounds, and has scored the highest overall.
Friendly mapping wars are encouraged.

The judging is currently only being done by me. If you don't like that fact, say so, and we'll work something out. If you would like to volunteer to judge aswell, i'll get together with you and explain anything that is needed.
We have to do it this way do to neoseekers' lack of a poll feature. And i wouldn't want to create another "face-offs forum" from invision only to place the link here. Afterall, advertising without permission is really low.

Questions, comments, and everything like that are welcome.
If you feel like it, comment on other member's maps aswell. But let's keep it to constructive criticism please.


Leader board:
This will be updated after every round.

1.Elbow dude: 24 points
2.UltimaOdin: 15 points
2.BunnyBurn: 15 points
3.xKrimx: 12 points
3.Sithlord999: 12 points
4.Inestical: 6 points
4.Saeon: 6 points

Post any complaints about scores. i may screw up sometimes.
First place grabs 9 points, second place gets 6, and like you may suspect, 3rd gets 3.
If there is a large tie for a position, it will be discontinued, and no points will be distributed.

Do we suggest rounds or are they your choice?

Unless someone has an idea for a round, i will pick one out myself. But since there isn't really a major delay between rounds, if you have a suggestions it should be during a round. (or really just anytime you want) Though it would be best to PM me with them so i don't lose them in the topic.
If there are no requests, suggestions or anything like that, then as stated, i will prepare one. Sometimes i prepare the next round a few days before the end of the current round for convenience, so the earlier it is posted the better.

Ok I just wasn't sure on some of the wording.

I'd just thought I'd point out.. you use "do" instead of "due" a lot

...do to neoseekers' lack of a poll feature...

yaah maps!can i play?or is there some secret code i have to say or gang sign i gotta show you to get in...hmm.how aobut this*shows secret gang sign*&*says secret password*So, im in now right?

I'd like to join.
That cool?

@ eviscerate: i never noticed that ^^; Thanks for pointing it out XD

@dragoon and doom: Theres no gang sign, but yes, you can both participate in as many or as few rounds as you wish.

I'll try to post the round by tonight.
And incase anyone is wondering i have received a suggestion to do "interiors" for this round. Now, interiors isnt my best subject, so if there are any objections to be judging an interior only round, please say so soon, so i can get a judge who is more capable.

aaawww...we should have one..oh well.Im going to make the mappiest map that any mapper has mapped.Booyah.

BTW:my clock is 7 hours ahead of the normal one..any1 know how to fix it?I was trying to the other day but i forgot how to get to it.

Round one: Inn's
For this round we will keep it very simple and easy, as opposed to the last round.
We're going to map a simple 20x20 inn floor. This can be of the service desk, a room, or a series of very small (appropriate) rooms.

Size: 20x20

Tileset: Any indoors set.

Theme: Up scale inn. (high class/expensive)

Submitting: A simple picture is fine.

Deadline: July 20th.

I really don't have alot to explain for this round. We're going to start off simple, and perhaps grow more advanced again like the last time. Submit anytime you like.

Wow I might get to submit this time around.

I'll start immediatly.

I'm in.

And here we go:



This needs bit explanation. Yes, it's high class, but the drunk mysterious character makes it look bit low class, doesn't it? Truth is, that the dude is actually super rich (by thieving) and took a inn room for the day. Naturally he started drinking (after getting some bottles), but fell down already on his 10th glass.
