Contest has been started. Team 3 is still open for a team! If youd like to take over team 3, please pm me with team member names and team name!
There should not be any mapping starting at this point; previous work CAN be used, but current work can not, for this will give teams an advantage at winning and finishing much faster.

Might be a good idea to try and do decent pairs though. Maybe make sure that any new mappers that try to do this end up paired with a vet so that the team still has a chance. Good learning experience for some, interesting way to do things for everyone.
My other suggestion would be to have everyone produce a different variation on the same layout(s). Maybe have two or three choices and let people run wild with it. Problem here is that we'd produce a bunch of the same map gameplay-wise. I liked the mixed doubles idea more.
Either way good luck to anyone that enters. I might do it if I can find the time to work on a map at all. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I was actually wondering if he meant 2-5 vents, 2-5 paths between the hive and CC, 2-5 routes that are apart from the high traffic areas or possibly even 2-5 inacessable areas.
All I was asking was for him to elaborate upon that line. A line I had quite obviously already read as the information contained within it (or lack thereof) was what my question pertained to.
(can anyone tell I've been writing a research report for chemistry over the past 2 days? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
and are we supposed to make a full scale combat map, since the deadline is kinda close already. and by which factor the winner is selected, by details or most playable map and such.
I'm confused.
--Update--
deadline august
there will be 5 teams. 6 people in every team 5x6=30 people.
r_speeds must NOT be over 2000
there should be some sound
Must be a full scaled co_map
to be entered, please reply on the post with your team name, such as "the mappers", with the team member alias's.
Good luck to all =)

Team 6 is closed because if there are not enough people, the contest will NOT begin, if there are more than 5 teams, 6 will be open. and so will 7 if more people enter <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
