I'm keeping a close attention to other Mapping website and even if I'm glad mapster is the first website, it's quite sad there's not a more aggressive competition. Anyway that may come when SC2 will be released :)
HiveWorkshop: Was the greatest War3 mapping community however they didn't upgrade to Starcraft 2.
SC2Mod: Good forum about Andromeda: the Galaxy Language Extension.
The primary goal of the contests is to give the opportunity to make many map makers work on a single subject for a week. Having people vote to me is really important as they are going to view the submissions.
If you make the voting part in the hand of some judges, only them will see all the great work you've all done and will elect few submissions (top 3 for example). And people will only see the first 3, which is lame!
Also, how would you elect the judges? I really don't feel good about having my voice count more than anyone else in here. And I wouldn't feel confortable making your work being judged by a few selected people. It's not really how I see fairness :)
Same as all contests, people will be able to vote and the one with the most vote will win. I haven't decided yet how the vote is going to be done (forum limitations, number of entries ...), but it will be very similar to all the previous contests.
This one is a fun contest and using one of the most exciting new feature of the Galaxy Editor: Attachements!
What to do?
You have to make a creature combining existing models. Do you remember the Uberlisk from Blizzard, well it's now your time to combine models together to make fun creatures. You can use any part of the editor you want (attachements, triggers, ...) but it must follow those rules:
The creature must not be static: it should walk and attack!
Custom models are NOT allowed. You can only combine existing models.
You can submit as many entries as wanted as long as they are all differents.
What you have to give
You have to provide a youtube video
You have to attach the map used to take the video
Help
If you don't know how to start, ProzaicMuze made a step by step tutorial: How to make an Uberlisk. Don't be afraid by the length of it, it really goes into great detail to explain why things were done, it takes no more than 10 minutes to do the Uberlisk.
