If you would like to enter this competition, then please send me a PM at Cute Nooblet

Map entries end at 28th of May (Yes we work quite fast here - in a week you will have a result) and Results will be posted below on the 31st of May

I think 4 days to make a map is pretty short considering a lot of us are wrapping up school now

We're not giving a week to make a map that's a competition I have arranged for summer. I meant submitting maps which you have already created, for example Greyavenger's Napoleon or Death1812 could submit 1938 by Death1812. Good luck wrapping up school! ( I Personally have all my end of year exams D: ) Thanks for contributing.

Aw my map are finished, but my troops still need work . When are the next awards being held? My deadline for the completion of my map will be June 7th.

Huehuehue i know why map im puttin in

Omg

Better hurry up lol, the deathline is close

I submit my WW1 map

Hi guys

Hope you guys are well. It seems that due to quite a lot of people requesting for me to extend the deadline, I will extend the deadline for submission of maps to the 10th of June. In addition, we've decided that the winning maps will now also get featured for 1 week. Good luck guys.

Let Zeus be with you <3

Sorry, but this tournament is a joke.
I resign my position as a judge,

Declaring winners before everybody rates the maps, and before the deathline is over, is plain bullshit

Tunder, that was preliminary, we waited for you to give in your score.

Its not even 24h since the time i got the list of the maps!, i have to test them in order to come up with a clear and fair answer. and the deathline is in 1 week.

Look, you even stated it:

FFS, you aren't suppose to declare winners before June 10, let alone giving people trophies.

Great, you also used squared's account to vote for yourself, lol you not only cheat, but you sabotage other's? wow

No one is entering ancient maps anymore...

Fuck polls 1/2 the people don't know a good map. that way tempted will win

Here we go again squared, with all how RP is good. No it is fucking shit. If you think it is good, kill yourself.

Edit: And there is nothing wrong with the judges, apart from the fact 1/2 them don't rate and whine when you omit them.

It doesn't even take you an hour to vote maps.

I never said I thought it was good (I have never even played it) but if that many people like it, surely it deserves to win.

Maps with autistic borders are great, but do they deserve to win if they aren't even played?

By your standard my map "10 turn mayhem" which gives people 6k sp a turn should win this, because everyone I showed it to loved it. And does that mean tik-tok maps, which you love so dearly, are shit too? Sorry but no one plays it, the most balanced map is now shit, because the noobs like infinite income more. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0EB9u33bloD.

WW1...

Sorry but I didn't publicly declare, it's also kind of obvious he will win this anyway (ancient map). In addition, It's only one sub-competition. DEAL WITH IT. I said keep this private as maybe we might need to change this, but clearly some people don't understand the meaning of privacy.

How exactly did I cheat? I had to put my maps in to stop, well let us say, "maps which need a lot of improvement" such as your GGG:CB or Klaus napoleon from winning. Furthermore, if you judges actually did your voting, we wouldn't be having this discussion. In addition, if you can actually make good maps I can assure you there would be none of this crying.

Yes, comparing an illegal SP farming map with a perfectly legitimate scenario makes perfect sense.

Lots of people play RP, you cannot dispute this. It is wrong to discount it because you don't like diplomacy. Some people might even suggest it's quite biased. (Not good for a supposedly impartial judge. )

Give me 10 reasons why RP is good. If you can't stfu.

you're just refusing to admit the fact that the map maker is an incapable fuck, who simply can't draw borders, make proper units nor can actually balance. So by your standards, tempted is a better map maker than tik-tok. Please bitch, please. Also, if it is such An AMAZING map, go FUCKING PLAY IT. If i see you in a world war 2, or world war 1 i will spam you with "RP IS UP GO PLAY IT", even if u mute me there is such things as guest accounts, (IP ban?... > proxies or just go to neighbour's house etc). "legitimate scenario" please.

PS: a bit hypocritical of you to say that I don't like diplomacy

lol, yes, the shitty maps that you clone and fail at editing?
you haven't made a single original map on your own, you are the kind of guy that can only improve what its already provided to him.

The only map that you have made yet that is noteworthy is your Napoleonic map, which i can't tell if you had collaborators to help you (because the map is made under a different name). and even then, outside of france and UK, the map is shit lol, i don't have the proper knowledge of france to see if the borders that u made are real or not.
and lets not forgett that it can be consider a rip-off tik-tok's napoleonic map.

Let's go through how we judge maps:

> Borders - Worth 15 marks in total, tempted has copy and pasted borders, cut them up, cannot apex borders properly, cannot align borders properly, cannot make lakes, can't make rivers. 1/15

> Units - Worth 15 marks. All other, sometimes main attack, and occasionally a transport unit for planes. If I made shit like that I would never hear the end of your incessant SQUARED, but apparently when tempted does it, IT'S AWESOME. In addition, he cannot even make the tanks have tank icons. Also, his units are confusing and highly inconsistent. I give 3/15 for effort.

> Balancing - Worth 15 marks. If you pick Africa you're dead. If you pick Germany, you've essentially won. You whine when austria loses in napoleon try playing africa with 15 income. Oh wait u don't know shit about what you're talking about. 0/15

> Game play - Flags, units pictures, innovation, Worth 5 Marks. I would give 3/5 for that... he has flags and unit pics but 0 innovation.

Total: 0.4/5

Apparently this is better than Ultimate ww2. Keep crying.

I had no collabs until Tik wanted to use his units instead. Let's not forget Adog UN <-- first place where we have voting, UN M.A.D., Stock Market, etc, Adog LoN or Adog SFA.
