it seems my feedback wasn't the only one you skipped.. why start another tournament without hesitation anyways lol. There was many good points being made last time and you incorporated none. Instead you've added
"Don't put your name on the map." which is ridculous because it's like the only thing a map creater can do (ingame) to show the map's author.
You wanted to make the poll without names. If you put your name on the map like jao with his hanging letters. We can forget it and this was indeed suggested.

I hope we can see the entries ingame this time which is the whole point of the mapping contest I suppose. If all we see is a 4sec video snippet can I draw the whole thing in Photoshop?
I doubt that everyone will download the maps to take a look on it. So It has first of all lower priority.
My intention is to have a simple not too competitive contest. I mean the competition is still important but I actually want many people to participate and share their thoughts.
It's btw only interesting for people with more knowledge like you. I think you are more interested how It looks like in the editor than how It looks like ingame. Sorry when Im wrong.

Agree, I wanna get my hands on the map files. Also nice critiques, spot on imo.
Then you should ask the mappers. I don't know if I have the permission to provide their maps for download.

Here you can even see how one participant reacted and I also know that another one didn't want his tileset to get used by other mappers.
So we stay with a video and add screenshots.

Another thing I wanna add is that you might be better off searching a 2nd (or maybe 3rd) guy to co-organize this stuff with you and talk about ideas etc. From all the interesting topics that were never seen before in Teeworlds you chose "spring" which on the boring-barometer is next to "summer", "autumn" and "winter".
Might be not a bad idea interested people can pm me.
Back 2 topic, I can't come up with something special you can barely make something to. There aren't many tilesets for really exciting stuff but I have other themes saved which might be more interesting than spring but go in a similiar direction.
You should know I'm not only trying to make this contest interesting for experienced mappers. I try to get fair themes where unexperienced mappers also have a chance to take part.
The themes need to connect with the game imo. I can't come up with a super exciting theme and get 1-2 entries because they had to draw their own stuff. This would get ridiculous.
For your information,
I always ask for opinions on the themes. All people I've asked meant it would be cool. So why not, you would wonder but even someone suggested winter as a theme and it will definitly come in the right time

Well that was my 2 cents 4 cents this time; don't see me bitter here, I just see a lot of potential being ruined.
Don't expect too much.
How I said, I want to keep the contests simple and easy.
So everyone can take part. If you are searching for a challenge try to make your design stand out. If I tell you that you have to create an underwater design in combination with another theme I'm taking over your assignment to be creative and present you 5-10 times the same design with different colors.
But if more people think like you I'm saying goodbye because that's not what I would like to see.

Asia was a bad theme already, but Spring is even more lame. I hope for the next contest you will choose a fancy theme (something that forces the mappers to be more creative). And please set the deadline of the contest to a specific time, so it doesn't end like the last one.
Good luck to everyone who wants to compete tho
Ironically you said Asia would be a fitting theme when I've asked you for your opinion. If you want to see something fancy make something fancy. How I said It's your job to become creative and to stand out.
