Process
Send your idea for an interesting topic to the event's administrator via a private message to RFDaemoniac. Two topics are randomly selected using randomizer.org at the start of the event, and then immediately made official. This way, no "cheating" can occur, and the administrator can technically participate as well.

Make sure you read the How does it work? section as well and feel free to ask additional questions in this thread.



What is the Map Jam & Challenge?
The Map Jam & Challenge is a format by and for the community.
The Map Jam & Challenge is a regular map making competition.
The Map Jam & Challenge wants you to be creative and quick.
The Map Jam & Challenge provokes thinking outside the box.

This is a format developed collaboratively by Samro and Scorp, and was motivated by MotM, CSL Map Jam and the Map Making Challenge.

Why do this?
It is all about challenging your fellow map makers with some strange idea and together do a 24h map making jam that will produce innovative, fun and crazy maps. From this format ideas may emerge that can be implemented to competitive maps - or maybe not. There is nothing to win like beta keys, sorry for that. I have no give aways, no tshirts. Also I do not own this format. This is an idea that i hope can be run by the community itself, without judges, organization, etc.

I know many will appreciate this. Here it is all about making maps. These may or may not be played. This is not the biggest point. We are looking for new ideas in maps and for new ways to make maps.

How does it work?
  • Runs monthly.
  • 24 hours to allow all timezones a few hours. Is held in the weekend to allow the most people to participate.
  • All participants send one topic to the admin via PM, e.g. 'rocks' and 'low main'.
  • By a randomized process two topics are selected among all entries and made public to start the Map Jam & Challenge. This aspects helps to have no 'cheating' like preparing a map to give yourself more time.
  • Within the 24 hours participants post the overview in this thread and upload their map to EU/NA (ask your fellow map makers at EU/NA)
  • Public Vote decides on the winning map. Map makers who think they have the edge in evaluating how good a map is, can message the admin with their choice to have a double-vote.
  • Win = Fun & Fame


Map Jam & Challenge #5
The Map Jam & Challenge starts Saturday, May 18th, 10:00EST 15:00GMT and runs 24 hours. Topics need to be sent to RFDaemoniac via PM until one hour before the challenge starts. This gives the admin one hour to randomly select the double-topic. Via PM we will keep all ideas secret and fresh for the next round maybe and the double-topic is quite a surprise for everyone.

Topics will be announced in this thread.

The previous events were administrated by Scorp, Samro, and RFDaemoniac. In future events, other community members may administrate as well. If you are interested in administration please notify the admin of the most recent map jam.

I think after the TLMC people have had a lot of map making lately so this will probably will be less popular than the last ones, but hopefully if the map topics are good we will still see some submissions

Lol whoops. Updated ^^ Though it's not me that's judging!

About people being tired from working on maps for the TLMC, I think you're right, but there's also the angle that people have been working standard for too long and want to do something different.

For sure, although it's a week until it actually starts so maybe that's enough time for people to recharge.

How do we feel about topics that aren't game play based / troll topics. Is there any amount of vetting that I should do?

You should make it an enjoyable and productive jam no matter the topics. If you receive a topic that would ruin the purpose, I'd filter it out.

I agree, it has to have a bearing on map layout, otherwise, what's the point?

These things always make me feel warm and fuzzy.

Mapping in its purest strategical form. Good aesthetics are nice but not completely necessary.
