I don't see why not, as long as you're not submitting loads of separate entries.

And thanks Orph, though I see Unseth has once again departed you for the time being!

You are quite welcome.

Sadly just before he activated all my admin powers too. Sadly I am essentially only a figurehead. I do not crave power, but I would like to have enough to alter the site sometimes. :/

I hope you understood what I meant to say, because I spelt joint wrong. :/

I missed the 04 competition last year, but I don't think I'll want to miss out on this one. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

PFL was a site in every way as great as this one is.. once.

Unseth takes breaks, sometimes years long between showing up and in the interim, the site goes stagnant. Most likely, real life pressures and whatnot.

Anywho's, the last time he showed up, I requested admin and gained it, to a point. He was supposed to activate everything but disappeared again.

I did not want admin to be powerful, only to guarantee the site not go stagnant again, in fact, I had 3 people lined up to take my place, as I truly did not want it.

Anywho's.. The sites host is stable. The connection fast as hell, but I have no way of gaining access other than my limited admin powers, which are not adequate to the task.

I had hoped to possibly move Snarkpit there once upon a time, cause the host there is much more reliable..

anywho's.. If I wanted power Satch, I'd have retained my Green name here. :/

I'd also like to judge alongside Orph. I won't find the time to submit an entry and I was once described as "the Simone Cowell of mapping", which can only be good when judging maps <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

make a surreal, non-realistic HL2DM level using your twisted, sad minds

Just how sick and twisted can this map be to be able to post it to the general public? Can I really go into the darkest nooks and crannies of my mind and show what is there? OR what.....

Unleash it. As long as it isn't anything to do with Sally Struthers.

Heard about this contest on Planet Half-Life a few days ago, and just had to register once I saw the theme (and, of course, the quality of the site itself, not to mention the seemingly pleasant demeanor of its members).

Hopefully I'll be able to complete something in time--don't take that as a complaint about the deadline, it's just that I'm very lazy and take forever to get anything done--but had a question about standard procedure for one o' these contests before I get started. When it says that I'm supposed to have the map listed in my profile by the deadline, does that mean I'm expected to keep you up to date on my progress, bit by bit? Or do I just finish the map on my own time, and only post it when it's completely finished?

I've never been very good at estimating "percent complete", so I'm a little worried...

Heh heh...I look forward to whatever you guys've got. I have to say, I frequent a sprinkling of message boards around the internet, this one doesn't appear to be so bad.

"Appear" being the operative word, I suppose.

Just have the map in your profile after it's finished, so people can check it out and give their voice for the maps they liked.

You don't have to keep us updated, and for a contest it might not be wise to give away your idea's too early, but some playtesting and critics along the way are never a bad idea when you're going for a good, playable map... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">
