Im thinking CS:GO, HL2:DM or something, i know there arent a load of community maps for them, but we could just have a good time blasting each other on some standard ones as well.
Any other ideas ?

So with the holidays not far away, i remembered having a good time in the last x-mas retro map tourney. Why don't we start thinking about what could we do this x-mas ?

SLENDER MAP MULTIPLAYER ON CSS! I'm working on it! Just like the actual game!

A MotM-winner-only tourney spanned across multiple days on HLDM, CS 1.6, CS Source, TF2 and Flat-Life Multiplayer! ~20 maps in total. Same frag/ticket system we've used for the previous tournaments. I'll pitch in for the prizes.
This would also provide a unique opportunity for different continents to host & level the playing field, as opposed to the usual EU-based slaughter.

So i had a look at the available maps:
CS 1.6: 6 maps
HLDM: more than enough
CSS & TF2: 1 map each
We can move css, tf2 and flat-life into the same day thus having a 3 day tourney with cs and hldm with their own days.
Who would be interested in hosting a US based server for any of these games?
How about the date, does the weekend before x-mas work ?

I should be able to play for any Valve multiplayer games apart from CS:GO, HL2DM, DoD:S, HL1:S and L4D1.
And those dates would be good.

it's funny, that lately we are all gung ho about having coops/compos, and many times have prize money and games, but it nobody participates lately(myself included).
can we make this a mapping competiton as well, and frag each other on our new maps?
maybe you could have prizes both for the top-three maps and fraggers. also for the mapping component, perhaps make it community voting so all the mods can participate?

I think if we're going to be giving out prizes we would need to decide on a single game which the majority of members have, otherwise someone who has only half the games somone else does they're already at a disadvantage.

You wont have to pay a cent, though you are welcome to pitch in to make the prize bigger.

agrees with urby, we want to maximize participation; if that's goldsource then so be it <shudders> =)
a somewhat less desirable alternative would be to have accept source/goldsource entries, and have seperate game servers as well.

Can somebody start from the top? What's TWHL's x-mas special? Do we just play a bunch of TWHL maps?
In that case, I'm probably going to map a cs 1.6 map for the event. (When was it last year?)

Yeah sure ...
@Urby: thats where the ticket system comes in, id say we do it the same way as last year, its just more games and other people are better at some games so they could catch up in kills if say potatis owns everyone in half-life.
Anyway, so what do you people think: motm or make a level in a month for x-mas ?

@Urby: thats where the ticket system comes in, id say we do it the same way as last year, its just more games and other people are better at some games so they could catch up in kills if say potatis owns everyone in half-life.Yes, but it doesn't seem fair to people who own fewer games. Say for example it came down to Half-Life, TF2 and CS:GO.
I could get 100 kills in Half-Life and be the overall winner, then when everyone switches to TF2 and then CS:GO their tickets keep climbing and I stay at 100...
Also, is Slenderman scary now? Fair enough...

I do not.
I'll just say that I can play HLDM, CSS and I could probably stomach HL2DM if I really have to.

i would love to see an xmas themed, community-submitted map competition and fragfest. alternatively maybe, if the person entering didn't want to build a map, they could perhaps choose a map they'd like to see in the mix?
As far as gametype/engine, i don't really know what would be best, and/or if you should have multiple games or just keep it to one...

hopefully more people will chirp in and share their ideas/likes/dislikes, i'd love to see this get off the ground.
Maybe make this official too with profile medals, which might attract more mappers?

Regarding he thread, I think the best option would be a category for each game. Choose the games based on a vote on the front page (You can do that, right?), and select the ones that the most people have. Then when the game pool is official, whoever wants to can create a map for whatever game they want, be it a game outside the pool; it doesn't have to be part of the competitions.

ya, I still can't tell what game the event is going to use. Is it HLDM or TF2 or CS GO, or all of them? Also, isn't TF2 free for everyone? Also, what game are ppl mapping for? Where are the answers to all these Questions?

I like most of the idea's put out so far. As long as there's some HLDM involved I'd love to join. Maybe however, separate compos and prizes for different games. So that anyone who doesn't have a game doesn't miss out.
