Mapmaking Competition Results
copied from MapHaven
Quote: The overall award goes to THUNK. This was not as clear-cut as some might suppose. THUNK just intimidated me and I never finished it. DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! I wasn't the only one who found other maps more enjoyable. However, the judges who liked it generally thought it was the bees knees, and there were slightly more of them. I can see why they'd be pleased - complex, interesting story, on-going challenges, sophisticated scripting, nice layout, etc. THUNK also wins the Hero's crown award.
Underdogs gets the Clover Magic award. It was a darn good map, with one or two flaws, that I really enjoyed; THUNK was held to be better.
For the non-WoG part of the competition, the prize goes to Mystery of the Zodiac. This was another close decision, as some of the Judges favoured Childs of Bhaal over Zodiac. Both maps are worth playing. Many Islands V suffered from a lack of story and a setup that interfered with strategic play - were there 50 monoliths? 100? The judges found the number of monoliths an un-necessary draw on their patience; although it seems other people enjoy that style.
Congratulations to Fnord and Corribus! THUNK is probably the best WoG map ever!
