Reminder: Terraining Contest still seeking entries

[Gifted]

Consider this a slightly polite nudge/reminder... We currently have a nifty contest involving terraining for people. The entries are limited right now. Think about it this way, if you make a terrain, odds are that you could actually have a VERY good chance at the prize if you merely put some effort forth.

Don't tell LoA I posted this.... Shhhh

[GRUNT]

Believe me, if this were some other contest, like maybe a straight-up art contest, I'd participate, but the intricacies of the map editor are beyond my ken T_T.

T_T, I would love to join if only I am in beta, Im willing to do it for free if needed be.

You don't have to be in beta dreadmourn, if you can find the client somewhere, install and patch, you can open the editor and start on maps.

Hmmm I have yet to touch the editor... is there a chance I could still learn enough to do some Terrain play? I wouldn't mind throwing in an entry, I have some few ideas.

I wasn't even aware of this contest.

I wasn't even aware of this contest.

*winks* That's part of the reason I tossed a note here in the forums, I figured awareness was low as that day had a lot of news. We're working on ways to improve awareness of the frontpage elsewhere in the site.

*winks* That's part of the reason I tossed a note here in the forums, I figured awareness was low as that day had a lot of news. We're working on ways to improve awareness of the frontpage elsewhere in the site.

Some suggestions:

1. Post sticky threads in this forum that have a link to the article and also allow discussion within that thread (naturally deleting/merging duplicate threads). I know y'all used to have that news forum, which got removed due to redundancy (a thread would be made there as well as here), but if y'all posted the same thing you normally would have but in this forum, then it should be fine. (Didn't y'all used to do that?)

2. Tie in the front-page article postings with the notification system y'all have for PMs and Friend Requests and such. Make default setting to throw up a small dialogue box like it does for PMs ("A new article has been posted! Do you wish to view it now?" and "Press OK to view in new window or CANCEL to view in this window."). Allow the option to revert it to give "silent" notifications like it does for friend requests.

3. Use the "announcement" thingy to shoot up an announcement on all forums, notifying everyone of the new article.

How do I even get into the map editor?
