Dr Brain Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 We're offering a contest for players with base making abilities. We're going to give out some very nice rewards, so if you don't feel you're the best base maker in the world you should think about submitting a base anyway. - The base must be able to fit a 5x5 ship all the way into the flag room.- Try not to mix the fire, stone and ice tiles in the same base.- Of course, your base must fit in one of the current sectors.- Submit your base on an otherwise blank map to brain@ssihosting.com. And, now for the good stuff! A winning mapper will be able to choose two of the following rewards: A sum of money (exact amount TBD)A sum of exp (exact amount TBD)A non-public item on one of their ships (A high power weapon or reactor)Their name on the base Good luck!

FireFox13 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 I'll do it if I get the chance. English Interpretation: It isn't going to happen. Quote
Kilo Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Hah, FF. Well, how can I resist E-money? :/ Answer: I can't! Blast..that makes 20 concurrent projects.Edit: My avatar is really ugly in this color scheme. I shall remedy it. Edit 2: Are there going to be those pesky half-sized Warbirds again? Also, what is your stance on the existance of doors in these bases? Quote
Dr Brain Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Posted January 24, 2005 No 1x1 ships. Doors are bad near the flag room. If you feel you must add doors, put them at or near the entrance. Quote
Boldot Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 what size are the normal ships?do you have to use a stone, fire, or ice theme?should it be able to fit into more than one sector?and about what size should it be? Quote
Dr Brain Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Posted January 24, 2005 The final ship sizes are undecided. There will be one (and only one) 5x5, and nothing will be smaller than 1.5x1.5. I expect to have at least a couple of 2x2 ships. You can choose one of the three themes to make your base. I just ask that you not use more than one of the themes in a single base. It needs to fit into at least one of the sectors. The sectors are nearly the same size, so if it fits into one, it'll probably fit into another. It shouldn't take forever to get from the entrance to the flag room. Our flag timer was 180 at one point, so if it takes 2 mins to get all the way in, it's probably too big a base. Quote
Dr Brain Posted January 24, 2005 Author Report Posted January 24, 2005 UPDATE: for those of you who cannot open the public map in SSME, I uploaded a sector outline map to "?go sectors". Quote
Kilo Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 So is there a recommendation for how much time it should take to get to the flag room? Quote
Dr Brain Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Posted January 25, 2005 I'm asking for bases because I suck at making them. So no, there is no official reccomendation. Quote
Kilo Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Well I mean if you don't want it to take 2 minutes, I'll just assume you want it to take about 65-85 seconds. Quote
Dr Brain Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 I'll give you guys until Midnight Feb 5th (Eastern time) to submit without worrying about the deadline. Sometime after that, I'll upload a new map with the bases I've chosen and announce the winners here. I may accept late entries, I may not. Don't count on it, though. Prizes will be awarded when the zone goes back online. If a joint effort wins, they get to split their prize however they like. I will not award extra to bases made by multiple people. By the way, multiple submissions are totally acceptable. You'll get to choose your reward twice if you win twice. If you winners want to, you may choose double of a single reward. For example, you could get 2x the money if you so desired. Quote
Dr Brain Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Posted February 2, 2005 I just uploaded all of the submissions I have received to ?go submissions. Don't panic, you still have till the 5th to get your base emailed to me. If your base is not on there, I didn't get it! It would be nice to get some more fire and ice tiled bases. *hint* *hint* Quote
Dr Brain Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Posted February 5, 2005 Last call for bases. If it's not in my inbox by the end of today, it's not getting picked. Quote

»D1st0rt Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 hehe, I never said it would be buyable. I don't think we'd ever do it though because it would lead to more cheating Quote
