This is a good idea, we'll have to revisit if we have enough entrants. Deltron added a line to the info channel saying the "rewards" may change if enough people submit :)
Submit or die, that's what Zant from Twilight Princess always says!
My most interesting ideas tend to come late at night. So I'm happy to report that last night I got out of bed and typed up some ideas for a map for this contest :D . I'm thinking of doing a side story mission in the Mapsters campaign.
Looking back at the rules, is it ok for it to be in the same universe as an existing campaign? It'll have some lore tie ins, but otherwise I plan on making it from scratch (terrain, data, triggers/etc) in the spirit of the competition. I'll wait to start working on the actual map file til the contest officially starts. Just writing down ideas for now.
I think if you need 12 months, you may be overthinking it. The goal is fun, and it's only going to be played once. Something that is enjoyable for 10-20 minutes would be sufficient.
It might be fun for it to be less professional/time intensive as rock the cabinet. So a month would probably be a good deadline. Also would be good as a testing period amount, since you'll learn from it and be able to make adjustments should you want to do a second contest.
As for the prize... Winner should be on the DPS podcast and Jay, Keith, and Brett just have to constantly compliment them on how good looking they are, and intelligent/etc. Haha
