Hello,

We are an established CS/CSS community that has been playing custom maps on our servers since CS beta 7 after we left OZ Death Match for more of a team orientated mod.

In the past we have only supported custom map makers for CS and CSS by promoting and playing them as much as possible on all our servers and we were thinking that we could do more now so we are having a 6 week mapping contest for CSS with a de or cs type map only.

1st prize is $200.00 us
2nd is $100.00 us
3rd is Supporter status on all our servers for 3 months
Entries must be submitted no later than 11:00 p.m. CST May 25, 2005

Obviously this is not even close to a Valve contest, but were thinking maybe it could at least partially reward some mappers for the time and effort they put in to making a custom map. Hopefully it might even spark more interest in some players making maps for CSS which in the end would give us all more custom maps to play.

If anyone is interested more info can be found at
ctrclan.com

its at the bottom dill weed

as for the contest, i personally hate CS but have seen some top notch maps around here, you should have some people interested

good luck with the contest. shame its a cs one though *shrugs*

[edit] BTW, you as a member of snarkpit can post this on the front page.. it might get a larger circulation if you did so..

ok I see habboi, I think we are pretty lenient with the mappers creativity, no http or www address, IMO I think it detracts from the maps theme anyways. Plus we did not make the map so we realize its only logical our address is not on it.

We would be happy with a spray on the ground, toilet wall or even a picture. for instance you could have a building/lot with a small eligible type of "no parking sign" or "reserved spot" with some thing on it.

In the requirements it says you can browse thru any of our websites and take/modify any content you wish or feel free to make up your own to fit in. This way it should not be a problem for anyone and it should go along with any theme. We want to play on maps with a fair layout for both sides and look good with out having to see some clans tag or a web address sticking out like a sore thumb.

Of course I do not blame anyone who thinks that is a load of crap no matter how you slice it but I think with this much artistic freedom and some cash it could keep all of us happy.

Well if you are interested have a look at the map I might submit hopefully...

Anyway because I live in the UK money would be a problem so I don't really care about the money much... If I was to win which is unlikely I request that you use it for your clan or something cool.
