If i've understood correctly, it will be a brand new scenario needed to participate to this contest; am i right?

so we have a while? (July?)

Will we get this in the news on the front page?

if the deadline is far enough away i think i will participate as well a scenario contest is a good thing and it would be a shame to let it pas without joining.

Quoted from Moshe Levi:

It’s not allowed to take someone else’s scenario, modify it, and use it to enter the contest.

Are you the original designer for all these scenarios?

Another rule is: it is not allowed to use existing scenario name (by someone else) for your scenario.

Quoted from ivanelterrible:

Well, then I cant really participate in the contest, because most of my works, are current old scenarios, but those scenarios had some bad designed things or that werent completely balanced, so I edited em, even though I didnt claimed em as 100% mine, In all my scenarios in which I edited other works, I give the credit to me as the current creator, BUT I always give credit to who originially designed em or had the idea of making em.

Quoted from Xamolxis:

1. Create categories in the contest, like: Blood, RPG, Other. It will be easier to check and split scenarios. The points a designer get for all his entered scenarios will determinate the winner.
2. Maximum one entry in a category per designer.

3. Only own scenarios accepted, not edited, etc.

Then you should probably weight the categories to favor multiplayer scenarios, because that's what engages people online.

Quoted from As_Saffah:

And I'm thinking this contest should extend further into the summer, because starting it now or any time before school is out, then ending it in a month is like saying "we don't want submissions from people who are still in school".
Give people the whole summer. start accepting entries June 1 and let the contest run until end August, then post them for people to review and play.

Make sure people in the community know they are supposed to evaluate these as part of contest, not just to dl and play. At the end of a specified period, say 6 weeks, of evaluations then gather the data and declare winners.

IMO you can do a lot towards evaluating the scenarios by holding another forum party for CSO.

I wanted to ask how much scenario's are allowed and what you meant with the catagorie's.

Like multiplayer category is that online supported you mean?

I already sent the moderators approval request yesterday morning to host CSO party this weekend.
I am still waiting to hear back from them.

One last request... let the CSO parties have their own Gallery album page.

I wished we had some of the screenshots of the last CSO party, not just mine but also the one where coldsteel86 held the Taj Mahal for the whole 6 minutes starting from about 7 seconds into the game...and two players bases had been annihilated and the survivor seemed uninterested in challenging. "LOL what happened here???"
