Jailbreak Mapping Contest (June 20th-Sept 1st)

[Pike 396]

INTRODUCTION

JAILBREAK is quite an old mod. Its gameplay never stopped evolving thanks, especially, to its maps, battlefield of thousands of players all around the world. However, they took a bad way of life. Playing the same maps over and over became boring and stale. Relying on their achievements of predecessors, without any innovation of their own.

This is why today, the biggest JAILBREAK servers decided to create an alliance. Various jailbreak servers are coming together to create this alliance. An alliance that will allow anybody to improve the situation, by creating a new map and bringing fun to thousands of players around the globe.

 

JUDGEMENT

Ratings will work in the following way : Each community will put a grade to each map. The average value will be their final mark, and the highest scores will win the competition. Communities won’t be able to judge maps made by players of their server (to be sure that they don’t give better mark to their friends).

Criteria to be met are:

Design / looks of the map

Originality (custom textures / props, no copy/pasterino etc…)

Games (Quantity, Splitting, originality etc…)

Interest in each team (Map has to be balanced, but Ts are supposed to be able to escape, and CTs to survive if they are good and if areas are not too small)

Enough spawns / cells (42T and 22CT spawns)

 

On Sunday, October 1st we will be playing the maps to try them out. A post will be made, in the members section, and you can post your rating for each map and we will average it out to get our community rating for each map.

 

PRIZES

1st place:  400$ + A 6 GB server for six months valued at $270 thanks to www.pulseservers.com

Holy shit, hype. If annyone from sg wins I'll give them 50 dollars. 

[trigger.exe 110]

i think having unique one of a kind maps that only we have can attract a lot of players as well.

Dude the weeaboo palaces are frighteningly popular on some servers.

 

But you'll probably lose more points than you'd gain. 

[JFK 546]

Huh, I guess it could be interesting to try and come up with something good. No guarantees.

 

It would definitely be more compact than Dojo though.

Since @Pike posted, can we get more details on how we got into this contest and the results that would stem from a victory?

Were we approached by the sponsor or another community in order to join in? Is the top-prize server given to the map creator or the clan? If given to the clan will it be used to support already existing servers or will we get another 6-month dark RP? Etc and shit ya know?

@Raphi  Approached the mapping group and staff of sG months back to join in on this mapping contest that he was orchestrating.  The prizes I believe are for the map creator not the community.  Each community is going to have 1 vote for each of the maps entered (None towards their own community map creators) and the best map wins.

I organized this contest, I contacted every communities I knew to make something big.

The point of this contest is not to be a war between communities, just a contest FOR mappers. Even mappers not from one of the 9 servers organizing can participate.

Prize will be for the winner, the mapper  

[trav 6834]

I hope who ever is judging doesn't just look at aesthetics of the map. ie: clouds etc. 

 

Thanks for putting this together @Raphi. Really great idea and I hope we get a lot more JB maps out of it.

Who from our community will be the judge? Or will we be doing a vote as a community on the best map? 

[ExoArcher 35]

Looking forward to what everybody sends in <3 good luck on everyones maps

@thorgotwhat you got comjing in this time?

[ctark 1983]

Thanks for organizing this @Raphi!

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing all the cool maps that come from this, and hopefully spark the love for JB that a lot of us have felt into the next generation of gamers.

 

 

Also @fontaine, make a map, pay for your med school bills!

I think the mechanics of the judging will help. Since there are 4 categories (Design/Looks, Originality, Games, Balance) communities will probably vote on each category for each map.
