Kit PVP Arena Contest

[DK]

I think Dave means to have spots picked out. Random, but evenly scattered throughout the map. Whether you decide to "beautify" the spawns is up to you.

Makes sense.

Are Team Elite and Red Forest going to enter this contest? If so, isn't it a little messed up that they're allowed to enter when the owners of these build teams are judging the competition?

Team Elite and Red Forest are allowed to enter. Whether they do is completely up to them (I do think RF is going to enter with quite a few arenas). As one of the judges, I can assure you that I can look at a map made by Red Forest and review it just as I would for any other. I will do my best to ensure that my bias does not affect my decisions :3

TA should do this.

I brought it up and they thought it was a good idea. Unfortunately, I won't really be able to build very much these next two weeks, though.
But those 4 VIP ranks sure look nice.

I have played KitPvP before. Its just that the spawn points on the maps seem to just be randomly in the terrain. Not like anything special for it.

I agree with you, I don't think it'd be fair at all. It'd be more fun to let lesser known groups/people build a map and not have RF/TE build a map and auto-win.

Think of it as a challenge! You have to make your map so amazing that the judges pick yours over their own!

No. It's really not fair in my opinion. They should be able to submit a map for KitPvP but not have it in this contest that'll let some other people have 15 minutes of fame.

Two times now I've typed a long message about how they won't be biased and then an ad popped up (I'm on mobile) in front of the reply button and it didn't save my post. (It was quite well written if I do say so myself ) Essentially they won't be biased because they wouldn't want their map to not get chosen because the judge was biased yadda yadda yadda.. What I would like to see is a rubric showing exact point values that maps would be critiqued on rather than saying "ok u get first and u get second and u get third.." It would show us where we need to improve and what we did wrong

Edit: It was a sugar mommy ad :[

Meh, I don't think TE or RF should be able to apply for this contest but it's my opinion and I respect yours.

So yeah I think it's kinda weird that TE and RF get to apply since they're part of this "in-house group of dedicated builders and terraformers".

On the other hand I have some questions about features that could be implemented in my map that have not been seen on MCSG like.. Ever xD But if I ask the judges, they might put it in their map and then I'd have no advantage :[ Sooooooo I'm not sure where that leaves me
