I'm going to recycle my Half-life version of a popular TV quiz show for this map, but I will also try to make something completely new, in the lines of the things I did for the "Map something Unique" competition.

Since I made you all laugh in Minimicus and HLywood, I figured it's your turn to make me laugh. 
I'm looking forward to what you guys come up with.

This is the kind of competition that I think could be extended to both engines to make everyone happy. It's not based near as strictly on architecture and mapping ability, so I see no reason why the engine would make a difference. As long as it makes you laugh is the general theme of it. Anyone elses opinions

We'd have to see what Seventh-Monkey says, but I'd be agreeable to at least discussing opening it up to HL1 and HL2.

I can judge source maps. Seventh should have the final say whether we open it up to HL1 and HL2. Maybe we could set up a poll to let the members vote on it or something.

YES! (woot)
Seems fun, and I can't wait to get started!
Will be cool imo if it's for both engines, too.

eh, this isn't a comp that depends on engine, so maybe for once it could be a co-op HL1-source compo?

but we just had a HL2 compo, if you do that, then every compo should be HL1 and HL2. Not just every once and a while. Because us HL1 mappers have to wait out when theres a hl2 compo, but when theres a hl1 compo, then source maps are allowed. Does'nt make any sense. It's not far.

Let those damn Source mappers wait this one out, anything submitted for HL2 is going to automatically look 10x better than HL1, and will most likely affect the judging in some way or another, no matter how funny the entries are.

......., You realise this isn't some kind of thing to get back at eachother. Its not a compo engine war going on here. The main reason of this is because we don't "have" to wait it out for another one. You should do the same, although, instead you just create little "mini-compo's" that don't get very many people. Besides, who said there was going to be a source compo next anyways? (if it happens.)
The compo right after this should be a HL1 if not both of them again (if it happens anywho,)..

I realize this isn't an engine war - I just think HL1 and Source compos should be seperate.

Post #199039
Under what reason? Every idea has objections, but the one that causes less annoyance towards a large amount of people wins. You realise how many people argue back and forth when waiting for compo's? If both of them went at the same time, that would make more people happy than your simple wish to keep them seperate. Or, I guess this could be a site suggestion..
If there ever is a HL1/HL2 compo, then there could be seperate little awards that are the same, but distinguish between an award between HL1 or HL2. A.K.A, same compo, different scores. That would stop all the "Source can do more." crap.
I kinda doubt the seperate awards though, but, in the end it doesn't matter what engine your mapping for, but rather what you can do with your given resources. The judges can see past that, and I fully trust them to make un-weighted descisions

I really prefer the alternating compo's. Some people can only map for certain engines, and whilst we trust the judges will make unbiased decisions, people with access to better engines get better possibilities. Being able to pull of things some people can't is really unfair - i have no access to HL2 mapping presently and i can think of some humerous physics gags, but i can't do them.
I really think we should stick with alternating competitions to remain fair. And besides it's just a compo, ofcourse people will always prefer a better engine, but they should just deal with it! It's HL1's turn and it should stay that way.

I'd like to have more stuff to occupy myself with source-wise instead of waiting forever for a new competition. Looks don't matter, the comedy value does.

Yes I agree, not a good idea at all. Is there a thread for suggesting compo ideas, or is it all moderator choice?
I also dont like the neglect of source. In my opinion there should be 2 compos at once. One for source, one for HL1. If your worried that there will be less entries, then dont. The majority of HL1 mappers here dont map for source anyway. And as for the source mappers, they can decide which one (or both) to enter.

I agree with Rabid actually. Usually I'm in favour of two seperate compos, but it seems like allowing Source would be a good idea.
We should just have two first places, two second places, etc etc for Goldsource and Source. That way, Goldsource dudes wouldn't be competing against Source and vice versa.

I agree too, that we should have two seperate compos. There are way more tricks in the Source engine. You can have some real funny stuff going on with the ragdoll physics...

Post #199143
Well, Slayer can judge it still, and Ant and Rabie like the ideas, so as long as Source maps aren't competing with HL maps... fine. We'll do it like Ant said, and I'll post news and a different description to such effect later. I really want to play CS:S now, though.

So the compo is HL1 and HL2 but will be judged sepertly?
Anyhow, a bit more information would be nice.
Personally, I find HL1 better for this subject, HL1 naturally has that cartoony look and gibs are a hell lot of fun. I might enter, just for the heck of it, haven't been mapping for a long time..

umm... you mean Vanilla Steam right. Because if you map for Vanilla Source, you might as well map for HL2.. because those of us who have performance issues mapping for HL2 will have them mapping for HL1 Source.

Habboi's right.
Not sure on the stance on custom content this time around.

Instead of judging them seprately i'd say just have 2 first places, and a 2nd and 3rd.
1 Goldsource first place and 1 source, the other two places are just the two funniest maps.
and if no HL1 map is anywhere near funny enough to even place, well, then just dump the second 1st

I think custom content should be included:
It'll open a lot of doors for cartoony ideas, and will allow Source mappers to make their characters/models more cartoony to sort of even it out between HL1 and Source (Yes, I know they're sepparately judged now, but you know what I mean.).
I think making the compo really open-ended is a good idea because the objective is so highly open-ended.
