Well folks, it's finally here, so quit whinging. Competition 29: Map Something Historical is alive and kicking, so get to it. You have a month to get your entries in.

The competition will be judged by Penguinboy and myself: yes, I'm making a return to compo judging. Now, toddle off to Hammer and get cracking.

Please make sure to check out the thread for updates and an FAQ.

Edit: Don Punch has given the more advanced mappers around here a through guide for sprucing up your maps with a bit of extra spice in "Detailing map brushes using XSI". This is Don Punch's first tutorial, so go on, take a look.

whinging? whats that?
also a month is tad small, maybe 2 months to include the christmas vacation is better..

On a side note, hammer cracks up quite often (bad)

Maybe whinging is an Australian term. >_<

As for the competition length, back in the day, most of them ran for a month. Protracted lengths don't lead to anything most of the time.

No, it's used in England and Ireland as well. Also, yay!

"an FAQ"
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-23 22:53:20 UTC Comment #99718
That's not a typo. "an eff ah ku".
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-23 22:54:02 UTC Comment #99719
Blitzkrieg: That is correct. When you're dealing with an acronym, you don't preface it with 'a', it's always 'an'.
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-23 23:01:44 UTC Comment #99720
It's not always "an", is it? I've been taught that the initial sound of an acronym decides if you should say "a" or "an": "a TWHL thread", "a US citizen", "an HL modification".
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-23 23:13:32 UTC Comment #99721
Actually, that is correct. >_>

The backwards timer makes me nervous.
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-23 23:27:01 UTC Comment #99723
I forgot we put in that timer...
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-24 06:19:24 UTC Comment #99724
should put in the moddb vote countdown timer, it's so dramatic.
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-24 13:37:20 UTC Comment #99725
ah see, i read acronyms just as I'd say them if possibe i.e. "a fahk". Must be a difference in our dialects is all, because around here absolutely no one says "an US citizen"

'course round heah we say half werds an pronounce "r" as "ah" like 80% ah tha time.
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-24 13:48:58 UTC Comment #99726
Apparently that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. Can't be bothered to google it but it's because english is a non rhotic language, if I remember correctly.
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-24 19:28:26 UTC Comment #99727
Awesome. Just awesome. That means I'll only have less than half a month because on 15th december I have the last semestrial test.

This competition could've been started faster...
Commented 14 years ago2010-11-25 00:38:25 UTC Comment #99728
It could've been a lot of things.
