I've been following this thread since it was made, I haven't ignored it. I've been waiting to see if Massassi in general was:
1. Actually interested.
2. Could agree on terms for the contest.
3.
Really actually interested.
4. If enough people would actually
submit and not just promise the world and deliver nothing.
So do we have that yet? I'm not quite sure, but I'll go along with it for now.
As for rules, here is my proposed set based on everything I've read and in the interests of getting the most submissions:
A. No limitation on type of map or game, as long as it is the JK series (JK, JO, JA).
B. Maps will be judged on their attention to detail and gameplay, that is, effort. A JK level need not look better than a JA map, merely it must be a great JK map.
C. Previously created material is allowed, as long as it is not already released and published on Massassi in some fashion. In other words, don't take a level you made before and just spruce it up.
D. All submissions will be due at December 13th, at 11:59PM EST in my inbox:
mlp2009@sorrowind.net
E. Submissions must meet the usual submission rules of Massassi.
If this sounds reasonable, let me know, and I will make it official on the front page and introduce a contest page.
Also, JM is an *** for misquoting me. I specifically said not yet for a news post, because I wanted to address issues and clearly define the rules before jumping out on this contest half-cocked.
