I might submit something mediocre just to raise the ante. Don't count on it, though.

200 entries? That would be something. But it wouldn't come anywhere close since the contest ends just a week after 5 entries have been sent.

Surprises do come.

Are there still only three entries?

As of now, yes. That shouldn't be surprise.

In case blur accepts my entry to qualify to competite in this, there should be only one more entry needed for the contest itself to begin I believe. So, someone go create an assault-level now immediately.

Woah I need to hurry (I have two half-finished levels here)

I'm almost tempted to change the rules again.

Why?

A $15 USD prize hardly seems worth sending, and it's unlikely I will get a sixth entry within a week after the fifth entry has been submitted. If I change the rules, I definitely wouldn't be reducing the prize (I'd increase it if anything).

Remember there's also my $5

Don't forget my level which inspired Blur to create this!

Date Created in file properties don't lie ;(.

I'm finished with mine now, again. I just have to play it online with some people to betatest.

ooh ooh pick me

I beg you, if you were planning to close the contest any time soon, please wait until I finish my level. I'll soon finally have time to work on it again

Since it says 'however long it takes', I guess I'll get working. First I will finish the contest for Black Ninja's Foo level, since the deadline is earlier. =D

Well, in my first post is the link to Syntax's Assault3 level which might've helped you understand it a bit. Here's a general description of the gametype, and here are some other Assault levels. Assault is best played online with a lot of people by the way. With that said, I'd rather not go into any more detail about Assault at this moment. But chances are, if you've never heard of Assault as of yet, it's not worth the trouble of entering this contest.

I was trying to make a Assault level for the contest, unfortunatly it worked out very bad.

I'll post the level as soon as possible.

I finally uploaded my entry to J2O, after fixing it up a bit. This is the final version.

Mushroom Kingdom Assault

IT OWNS! IT FRIGGIN OWNS!

10!

-> no, it really does, duh

Hmm is this contest... dead?

Nah.

Are scripted levels or otherwise Plus-only entries allowed or should they be playable in vanilla JJ2?

'Deadline 1 week after 10 entries'
Goodie! This means I can compete too! See you in November!

Scripted and plus-only levels are allowed.

Did you have any idea of how much longer

Nope. "However long it takes" indeed. I updated some things:

• TSF levels are now allowed.
  
• Scripted/Plus-only levels are now allowed.
  
• I updated how I can be contacted, which is now either by my Gmail address or this thread. IRC is no longer a viable method to contact me (since nearly 10 years).
  
• I removed the request to make two versions of One-Sided Assault levels; JJ2+ can cover swapping teams for all players.
  
• The prize amount increment per entry has been increased from $3 to $20 (USD).
  
• The contest now ends when there is either 30 entries or one week after 10 entries, whichever comes first.
  
• The prize money will now most likely be sent via PayPal or Bitcoin instead of money order. Because it's 2016.

Are entries limited to only one per person? I couldn't find any rule about that.

And I actually still can't compete in this... At the end, the joke's on me.

Anyway, probably not the right place to ask this but, what is an assault level?
I mean, I figured someone here would already ask that, but the links are old so the general description of the gamemode type now leads to JDC 3vs3 matches.

Assault is a team-based gamemode where the goal is to complete a set of objectives faster than the other team. In old assault levels this typically consists of breaking a series of crates in order to advance, although script allows for more possibilities nowadays. There are two types of Assault level: single and double.

In single assault, the attacking team tries to complete the objectives as fast as possible while the defending team tries to stop them. The round ends when all of the objectives are complete or when the time runs out. After the round is over, the teams swap roles and it becomes the mission of the other team to complete the objectives faster than the other team did in order to win the match. If the other team did not successfully complete all of the objectives, then the team just needs to get further than the other team did to win.

Examples of single assault include The Bridge (ASBridge), Cargo Ship Assault (ASCargo) and Fortress of Fate (ASFate).

In double assault, the basic principles of the gamemode are the same except both teams have to complete objectives simultaneously, with the first team to finish being the winner, or the team that completed the most objectives after the time runs out.

Examples of double assault include Desolation Hills (onsdhills), Midnight Metropolis (xlmm3os01) and Abandoned Skyscraper Assault (olcassault1).

You can submit as many levels as you want, but only one will count as your official entry. In other words, you wouldn't be able to single-handedly submit enough entries to end the contest early with the maximum prize money.
