Forest Tileset Contest REVIVED

At first, this contest failed. Even though a lot of people showed interest, no one ended with submitting an entry to me. The result was no one were given any prices, and all the games are still lying here, unpacked and collecting dust. Thus, I am reviving the contest, to allow players a second chance of winning the prices.

The original contest post:

Your tileset must:
- Feature a kind of forest. You are not limited to a specific kind of forest, so you may create any kind of forest (like as a frozen, enhanced, or haunted one).
- Be unique. Do not create a tileset looking the same as an already existing tileset, such as Swamps by Agama.
- Contain all the required tiles. These are destruction blocks, arrows, hooks, poles, signs, spikes, sucker tubes, trigger blocks, and vines. There is no requirement for a specific way of drawing them.

You earn points for additional details and their quality (such as mushrooms, webs, shrub, flowers, ect.). You lose points for mistakes, such as mask errors, broken textures. Future more, a public pool will be started and people may vote for your tileset for an additional 3 points.

The one with most points win, meaning the winner is not only cored from the quality, but also from the originality and popularity in his set. You are not allowed to have any help from others, rip tiles from other tilesets, or vote for yourself.

As price you may pick any of the following games that will be send to you by post: Rayman 3 (Hoodlum Havoc), IL-2 Sturmovik, Chessmaster 9000, Ghost Recon, Heroes of Might and Magic IV, or CSI (Crime Scene Investigation). The second place may also pick a game out from the remaining games.
The rules remain the same, the difference is just that instead of picking one prize, the winner picks 3 and the remaining 3 goes to the second place.

The deadline is at 20:00 (GMT) on the first of May, 2006. All entries must be sent to moonblaze (at) gmail (dot) com. Entries submitted later on the day may be accepted (with a good excuse). You are stronly advised to keep the deadline, though.

There will probably be two other judges in addition to me, Cibex and Dalspots (should they respond to me in the nearest future). Both of these are talented artists that will see the tileset from more than one point of view.

Anyway, any comments on the maximum number of tiles? And do we have to make an example level?

1) No limitation. It may even be TSF.
2) You don't have to. Example levels are just a nice way of showing what you thought of with the tileset.

Are multiple entries allowed? Must the tileset be made specifically for the contest? (Can it also be made for that 100 tile tileset contest?) If there are no limitations, can it be a Battery Check or JJ1 tileset?

1) Yes they are, although it does not increase chances of winning.
2) Nope, it's your tileset and you're allowed to do with it as you please.

Note: Entries can be submitted by either emailing them to me at Moonblaze@gmail.com or uploading them to Jazz2online and notice me of it.

I'm looking foward to see some good tilesets.

Cute, very cute

Question: Am I allowed to enter a tileset of mine I've already started but never uploaded? (Some people have already beta tested it too). Could be a good reason for me to unlazy myself for a few seconds.

Oh, and you also get a sticky

*I'm not attacking any contests using that or something similiar as "victory condition".

Why do you mind? You are not an administrator, you didn't create this thread and we are not "ruining the forum" either. Sending private messages such as "why not not" would be even more annoying than posting them on a thread.

No he calls you an idiot because you are ruining this topic by posting a bunch of spam here so it's hard to find the actual senseful replies and thus you should stop. NOW.

And Emperor, use paint shop pro and visit disguises tileset resource at hewwolcom/tilesets.

I already know I'm not an administrator, nor a moderator or anyone who has "the right" to judge on a subject like that. I also know I didn't create the thread, and I never said you were ruining the forum.

I'm asking you to stop it because it annoys me, aswell as the creator of the thread, and probably some other people.

Let's stop this argument, it's pretty much pointless.

Best is we give each other a hand, and forget it. =)

I was probably a bit harsh, I wasn't in good mood a short while ago.

EDIT: Is that my imagination, or is the page's layout suddenly messed up?

Posts beyond this one with off-topic content will have off-topic content removed. Consistently ignoring this will result in the provision of warnings.

[By FQuist: I would like to add that it's against the rules to spam like this, R3ptile and Ninjajazz. Please keep ontopic next time and don't derail threads with a clear topic with such nonsense. This counts for The Emperor, too.]

Stop this...now.

I feel like deleting all the offtopic posts, but I'm just gonna turn a blind eye for now. All future off-topic posts in this thread will be deleted as they make it hard for people who are interrested in the contest to see what's going on.

Besides, spamming stickies is bad for your health, very bad

Edit: Oh bah, never skim read topics after you just woke up from a nap, derby and fquist already posted about the spam, I'll blame it on blindness or something. Either way you now have 3 admins on your case

This sounds like something I would be interested in, except that I'm already busy on another tileset. I always take forever to make them .

Btw, you don't need to have awesome programs to draw tilesets. All I ever use is MSPaint and Pallete Suite 2, and I think mine turn out decently. Occaisonally, I use MSPhotodraw for texturing, but 99% is Paint.

Yeah, my tileset in progress is wintry with pine trees as scenery, but they aren't dense enough to call it a forest tileset, but for anyone out there who's hunting for ideas, maybe try a wintery pine forest!

Biohazard, I say just call it a forest tileset and submit it when it's done. I really doubt that Moonblaze will refuse to accept it.

And Fawriel, it looks like he's going to mail the prize.
