Hi everyone,

I'm Soljah, I came from Eclipse forums, where I am currently trying to run a Mapping contest between Eclipse and Elysium.

*I have permission from [William] to post here, asking this question*

The reason I am posting here, is that we would like to keep Judging the least bias as possible, that is why I have come straight to the Source of both our Engines to ask for a high quality Mapper to judge a series of maps, made with RMXP**, And determine which are in the Top 5.

Please contact me on Soljah7@hotmail.com for more information.

If you would like to know more about me/my Role in Eclipse, Please visit my profile @ http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/smf/inde ... ile;u=2021

**Could Change...

Thankyou.

For those of you who really don't want to sign up to view his profile.. Don't know why I did >_>. You can basically just go to this link.

http://www.freewebs.com/sevensorrowsrpg/

I would say the mappings nothing special. I think I could do better :P. Miths are nicer as well, but they aren't terrible.

Here is one of my maps using an RMXP tileset.

http://www.geocities.com/anthonyfleck/applemill.png - Might have to copy and paste that into your address bar.

It's lacking some things like lamp posts and stuff still but it's coming along, don't pay attention to the wall :oops: haha.

That link to my old site is so outdated... That would be an incorrect lot of information, basically.

Btw... That is not an RMXP tile set... I don't know where you got that idea from.

So are you signing up to be a Judge? If so, then could you please contact any other Mappers to post back or contact me?

Thanks

Yeah, RMXP. Mapping's nothing special either.

Are you talking to me Robin? Haha.

The tile set is made for RMXP, it is Inquisitors set. So basically, RMXP.

The contest is on hold for now - The controversy is getting a bit over the top.. Which I think is ridiculous.

The controversy was only on the Eclipse forums, not Mirage or Elysium.

I know, I didn't say which forums, I just stated the controversy in general.

But anyways, Contest back up, but we may be looking for mappers to judge from a different place (Robin's nice idea)

I'll get PDoA's head mapper to judge. I can also judge, myself[If you need more than one]

Of course, I'm the owner of PDoA. So! If you need anything, PM me with details, and I'll explain things to you.

Or, instead of some MS guy who has never worked on any other game but his own and his lead mapper that no one knows, we can get a reliable judge, like Mango, or APK.

Or instead of inactive members, or assholes who know shit, we can go with someone who has worked on multiple games who isn't based in MS, like Silver[me].

Mango and APK I know.

APK quit the project first day, cause he's so unreliable. Havn't seen him since. And Mango is inactive. So, Joost, what you been drinking?

Your post suggest that Im interested in judging. However, I'd prefer getting testicular cancer over judging this contest.

Mango and APK are, in my opinion, the best mappers around the whole MS-scene, especially with RMXP, and of course I'd not suggest them if I had no idea how to contact them. Even though they're inactive, they're still the best. And you are some random. (Don't get me wrong, being a random is NOT an insult, it just means you're not known and respected for your mapping skills)

Eh, nothing more to say here.

If you want me and my Mapper to judge, fine.

If not, forget it.

Done with this topic.

Why not have judges that are completely inexperienced? At least they wont be biased. Why can't you be a newb? do newbs not know what looks good to them?

Compare a map made by a newb to a map made by a pro. Newbs dont pay attention to some very important things such as realismn.

Well.


In my opinion, I'd much rather have an average person judge my maps.



OMG WAI?
Because they're the ones that are going to SEE your maps.

Unless your games are populated by 90% expert mappers.
Most of any game's playerbase will be inexperienced users, or average users. So it's what appeals to THEM that matters.

You people are all fucking retarded.

Who do you think rates maps in REAL games? And not the shit you produce? Expert designers, or some 13 year old kids?

God damn, Im too superior for this.

If someone rates a game 10/10, and it sucks to the main market, nobody will play it, regardless of it's rating.

Same thing if it's rated low, and it's still fun, it'll have lots of players.



Two Worlds, was incredibly glitchy.
Every magazine/show/site said it was horrible.


Yet tons of people play it, despite the technical fuck ups.

But this is a MAPPING CONTEST, you dumbass. GAMEPLAY DOES NOT MATTERS. ITS ABOUT WHO MAKES THE BEST MAP. NOT WHOS GAME IS MOST FUN.


Does typing in caps lock help you people understand? God damn it, just accept Im superior and agree with everything I say.
