Woohoo, it's contest time again!


As the thread title suggests, this time you must make a map that is so bad that it becomes laughable. Something that numerous wads from the golden year of 1994 accomplish. You have completely free hands so you can accomplish the crappiness goal by whatever means possible, with the exception that the map has to be completable. That is, it must have a real exit of one sort or another (not that there are very many different exit linedefs). Again, my advice is to refer to the numerous wads made in 1994 for inspiration (found here). God forbid if you send an actually good map, though, because then I'll tell you that all you've done is waste effort.

Specifics:

- One map per author
- The map must run on Doom2, map01.
- You are only allowed to use regular Doom2 editing features. That means no boom or such things.
- Singleplayer
- All kind of custom content is allowed, inlcuding textures, music, sounds, sprites, monsters, weapons and some things I forgot to mention. You can use pre-existing resources.
- No difficulty levels. Wasn't there some talk about crappiness before?

ALL MAPS MUST BE SENT IN BEFORE THE END OF JULY 31ST 2009 GMT
If you send a map and notice that it has a bug or something you can resend your map as long as it's before the deadline. You'll have to include a proper text file with your map. If you use the id games archive template you'll enter all the data you need to, but you can make your own text file too if you wish to. The main things it should have are the following:

-Name of the map
-Name of the author
-Some short description about the map would be nice, so know what you were aiming for.
-Information whether the map supports deathmatch or coop.
-A good joke (possibly optional)

As for judging, Ace for one has said that he'd like to take the job. I won't be able to do it, as I'll be in the army at the time this goes live. There may be other judges as well (mainly I'm thinking Rusty), but Ace shall be the one you should asslick the most in this contest. Here's what he has to say:

[31.05.2009 - 22:35:04] ase: I'd definitely say aesthetics, fun factor and possibly even playability would be good points for judgement
[31.05.2009 - 22:35:40] Fatal: in a completely sarcastic way, you mean?
[31.05.2009 - 22:35:54] ase: Well if we're judging this based on crapness
[31.05.2009 - 22:36:03] ase: Then less of those things = more points
[31.05.2009 - 22:36:48] ase: Variety is gud too
[31.05.2009 - 22:36:57] ase: Like the more ways it's crappy the better

Anyway, by completable, do you mean 100% of all, or just being able to exit the map?

Can I screw up all of my line's sector references resulting in mad HOM's everywhere? Or is that not what we are going for here? :P

I'll give it a shot - are dehacked patches allowed?

Is this going to be a Mock 2, but for vanilla Doom this time?

Are crashing the Doom engine allowed (as long as you could avoid them by not visiting the spots in the map causing them, ie. the map would be still completable).
Anyway, by completable, do you mean 100% of all, or just being able to exit the map?

This is gonna be fun.

Is there a limit on filesize?

Can we put MP3 music in the wads? It's not a vanilla-compatible feature but it would allow competitors to add a whole new dimension of shittiness to their wads.
edit: The first post says we must have an exit. Must it be reachable?

Does it really matter where it comes from?

Got my map done, but I can't send it through Yahoo! Can I upload it to /idgames and point you to the file location?

Considering that we've got this posted at three different places, it makes it easier for the judges to know what they need to play, so we don't have to scour through a dozen pages in three threads to find them.
