[align=center]It Takes Two – A Collab Tourney[/align]
Rules

Welcome the First Ever Random Collaboration Tournament! In each round, you will be randomly paired with another contestant with whom you must produce a map. You will have one week to make each map (i.e. each round will be a week long). You and you partner must both work on the map. Obviously, it will be impossible to check whether this is the case, but it defeats the point of the tournament if only one person makes the map.
There will be a theme each week, chosen by me, which every map in that week must adhere to.
You may only make one map per round.
The aims of this tournament are:
1. Take partWIN!!!!
2. Build and strengthen bonds and promote love and teamwork within the community.
3. Have fun! [/cliché]

You must submit your maps to NUMA and post a link to the map here.

DDAs, non-playable tilesets, n-arts and Nreality maps are not allowed.
Please don’t complain about your collab partner, the aim is to have fun: so whether you strike it lucky and are working with a really good mapper, or if you end up with that ne’er-do-well GTM(joke), keep that in mind. You must provide an AGD yourself (excluding round 1 when you can get someone else to do it for you).
You will lose points if you don’t include an AGD.

2. Kablamo
3. brighter (atob)
4. Mattkestrel (GTM)
5. squibbles
6. jasdanu

No more spaces are available, unless someone pulls out unexpectedly.

Judging/Prizes

Each map will be judged by three judges.
Judging will be based on the following:
Aesthetics /20
Gameplay /30
Fun /30
Use of theme /20
Judges should leave a small comment next to the score in each sub-section, e.g.
Aesthetics: 15 Good
Gameplay: 10 Not very interesting
Fun: 5 Very boring to play :/
Use of theme: 16 I could totally see ‘Life in an aquarium’[a random theme] in this map.
Your final score will be an average of the Score from each judge.
Example: A map gets 40 from judge 1, 48 from judge 2 and 50 from judge 3; the average score is 46.
Each member of the collab will be awarded half of the total score.
Example: A map gets an average score of 46/100. Each of the collaborators gets a score of 23.
Scoring will be a cumulative process: whoever has the highest score at the end of the competition will be the winner.
Maps posted after the deadline will be accepted, but unless you tell me or one of the other judges beforehand that your map will be late, points will be deducted from the score of both people at a rate of 5 points per day. You can achieve negative scores by this method.

The prizes have yet to be decided, but feel free to suggest possible prizes throughout the competition.

Deadline for this weeks map?

You sent me a pm saying i'm partners with Odyssey, but the list of participants says Golfkid instead.

Could you post a list of partners for each week?

The deadline is in First post after the theme.
Ah. Odyssey pulled out unexpectedly, but I've been told that golfkid was interested in joining, so you'll be with him if this is confirmed. If not, I'll try and get someone esle to join, and if THAT fails I'll randomly add you to another group (so it'll be a 3-way collab) - you'll each still get half the total score for the group.
I will grant you an extra day to make the map if this takes too long.

Please make sure you have read the rules thoroughly, since I've tweaked them a little bit and added a rule (it shouldn't affect the mapping procedure, so don't worry).

Gah, I keep getting an uneven number of people...Cheez, you'll be paired with Lightning this round.
Flag, you can join too, but you'll need to find someone else to join too so that there's an even number of participants.

Alright, cool.

By the way, I prefer Cheez over MCKY, just preference.

Just couple of things:

Firstly, flag, you're now paired with chume 14.
Secondly, judges should post their judging on this thread in a separate post (like in LMC3) when it get to the judging stage.

Yeah, me and BioCryo did this ages ago, but we must have forgotten to submit it.



AGD too. And I know you can read, at least I'm not trying to bullshit a theme here :P

Um. I'ma little confused here. See, numa won't except me and Jadanu's map because apparently it has the wrong number of characters before the '|' symbol. So here's code:



Is called 'Thunder Romp'
