Announcing the “One Million Units” Thief Fan Mission contest


* The contest will run for 3 months, from October 1st through December 31st
*
* The idea is to create a mission that will not exceed one million total Dromed units in size. This is a throwback to the types of contests run in the early days of Dromed by Komag.
*
* Missions can be created for Thief 1, Thief Gold, of Thief 2.
*
* Authors may use any resources they choose, this is not a stock contest.
*

To reiterate - Your completed mission must fit inside a single rectangular area brush that contains a volume of no more than one million Dromed units.

[INDENT]Some examples...
100 x 100 x 100 - Cube
124 x 248 x 32 - Long and flat
88 x 88 x 128 - Vertical[/INDENT]

To help put this into perspective, the smallest mission in the last contest (Fierce Competition) was 7 million units. So you're looking at something approximately 15% of that size.

For inspiration, you might want to take a look at some of the standout missions from previous contests. All of the missions listed below will fit into the space allowed for this contest, most with plenty of room to spare.

Also keep in mind that you do not have to use all the allotted space available, and can choose to go with something smaller instead.

Any blue rooms or other behind the scene stuff that will not be visible to the player can exist outside of the million unit area.

Voting - We'll rig up a voting system similar to what we've done for previous contests, based on three categories:

[INDENT]1) Best use of space
2) Design/Construction
3) Atmosphere/Story[/INDENT]

Good luck to all. PM me if anything is not clear or if you have any questions. Also, not required, but if you intend on joining the contest, please send me a PM so I can keep track of all potential entrants.
