Will there be another mapping contest?

Just curious if the U is planning to do another contest. Or if it's even possible.
Thanks.

dm_chickennuggets would be the best map ever

Yes that is something that the officials have discussed. There will be one at some point. Exactly when and the details of such a contest have not yet been worked out.

Cool, can't wait.

Sorry I missed this thread, I am making preliminary plans for the next mapping contest. I hope to announce it before Christmas depending on how fundraising for the prizes goes. I would like to have a slightly higher first prize this time if possible, and a runner up prize too.

wait... there are prizes?

Last mapping contest winner received a cashiers check for $150.00. This time around I would like to see that at least doubled, with $100.00 for the runner up. We will be doing a spot of fundraising in the near future to help cover the costs.

MAPPING CONTEST HUH?

HEH.

Another map contest would be great !!!

make a business paypal acct for the site in which people can donate money for 'the game and the community'.

And we (the community) will use the money to spend for the community and the game.

That's a great idea snipeIT !

I'll donate- that's for sure !

I have had a paypal account for the site from day 1, it just has not been released publicly. I prefer not to ask the community to contribute, but this time it may be necessary.

even though the site is yours (for the community though) I think you could accept contributions from the community. I don't see it good for you to have to handle everything. Besides it's not like you are gonna steal the U contributed money for your pocket

me too..

Would a entrance fee be outof the question?
I'm aware that some of the younger entrants may not
be able to contribute (i.e. no payment methods)

WT I already told you I would contribute as did a couple of other people cause we need MOAR MAPS!

I don't want to discourage anyone from entering, especially newer mappers who will feel like their entrance fee will just be lining the pockets of more experienced mappers. I already have some good pledges from people so I think we will be fine for a decent prize.

You neverrrr know onti.......... ehehehehheh

Well his computer does suck.

I can understand how WT is thinking. ANYTHING that could even remotely be seen as him trying to make a buck might potentially be used against the U. Don't underestimate the stupidity of people let loose on the Internet.

OMG QFT, understatement of the year

If my word, and the fact that I've already put a few hundred into this site and kept it strictly non-profit is not enough to convince you I'm not doing it for the money, then please do not donate.

Snipe, coming from someone who has been accused of overcharging clan mates for server costs and pocketing the difference before, I would expect you to be somewhat more understanding of my position. I don't appreciate the implications on my character.

When I announce the fundraising, I will also include some information about checks and balances, as was planned before this topic was even posted.

m8 i was joking around. Jeez i was the one who stated the idea (in this thread) anyway...

Btw, not sure how i can pocket from donations that go directly to gameservers.com paypal acct. (AKA Clan Pay)

kkthx.

Didn't say you did it, I said you were accused of it and I thought you would be more understanding about it.

Started what idea btw?

making a paypal acct that the community can contribute too.

This was already almost done when I first responded to this thread about fundraising:
