top dawg!

The theme of this contest involves bosses, as the title suggests. There are two separate categories for SP and MP. You can choose to enter one of the categories below, but not both. I'll explain the details below:


Category 1 (Single Player):

Description:

This category involves making an arena fit for a boss (Mostly End Bosses in JJ2, if you are unclear), there are many ways of doing so, and it might be interesting to see if there are more creative ways to make boss arenas. In the default JJ2 SP levels, the border of an arena is defined by the 'activate boss' and in some levels the 'limit X Scroll' events. An arena is often built to cater to the boss' abilities.

Category 1 Rules:

• Must constitute anything that involves JJ2; Must not involve anything outside of JJ2 (That is, specifically, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, lol).
• Must be a Single Player level.
• Artificial (Custom made) bosses count; Artificial bosses often include tileset related obstacles.
• You can only send me one arena.
• One arena can contain only one 'boss', this means one fight 'sequence'.
• Any enemy or event can be a boss (Rocket Turtle is, of course, allowed), but it's recommended you stick with End Bosses.
• The Arena must only cater to the boss, in other words, everything involved should constitute the boss in some way (Leave this to my judgement).
• The Arena must be yours. Remakes are allowed, but only if they are from default SP levels, or if there is irrefutable proof of author's consent for non-default boss arenas (Contact me!).
• No level making teams are allowed.
• There is no clear definition of what defines a boss, but it is highly recommended to work within convention (Difficult, time consuming, may have minions etc).
• I will not accept previously made boss arenas.
• I have the right to deny any boss arena.

Category 2 (Multi Player):

Description:

This category is quite different in the aspect that no SP enemies are involved, as obviously the enemies are other players. The objective here is to remake a default JJ2 SP boss arena into an assassination level. Obviously, the arenas are remade to cater to the leader playing. If you aren't familiar with the assassination gametype, then please read this. This category is probably much harder to deal with, but your work should be cut out for you. Remaking an SP arena other than a default one is allowed, but there must be proof of consent from the author, and it's not recommended as the level is probably not well-known. Quirky idea, eh?

Category 2 Rules:

• Must constitute anything that involves JJ2; Must not involve anything outside of JJ2 (That is, specifically, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, lol).
• Must be an assassination level.
• You can only send me one level.
• The level must be yours and a remake of a default SP boss arena. Remakes of other SP boss arenas are allowed, but only if there is irrefutable proof of author's consent (Contact me!). Remakes of other assassination levels are not allowed.
• No level making teams are allowed.
• I will not accept previously made boss arenas that were remade into assassination levels.
• No extent on what can be remade has been established, but it is recommended to stick close to the general concept.
• Follow the general rules that constitute making an assassination level. Again this is reference, but there are exceptions such as leaders not being confined to bases.
• I have the right to deny any assassination level.

I already have the judging stages planned, but I won't give any details until later (assuming this contest works).

Prize: $50 (us currency) to the overall winner. Money will be converted according to currency of who won, and he/she must discuss details with me. Speaking of which, it's important all participants have some form of contact with me. For contact, the best way is to add me on msn messenger: aaron_kleinsmith@msn.com.

Feel free to ask questions or give suggestions, the more the better. If, by any chance, any of you see flaws please let me know. I will make sure this contest will be as fair as possible, and that it should (hopefully) work out smoothly.

Deadline: April 9, 2011
